[QUOTE="Garthanos, post: 5765665, member: 82504"] I am a real fan of the default flavors of the Warlock class I mean how awesome is... "Channelling arcane might wrested from primeval entities" that just rocks. Even the methods they exploit Constitution or Charisma for their power invoke very interesting flavor. [B]Constitution[/B] [LIST] [*]Direct Use of there own life force [*]Promise of the future gift where the quality of their eventual sacrifice to their pact holder is based on the might of their life energies [*]The act of resisting the pain of alien power source being channeled in to this universe by way of there body... ie your ability to resist that pain governs the control you have over it. [/LIST] [B]Charisma[/B] [LIST] [*]having the will to resist the pleasure which channelling your power induces. [*]clever bending of the rules of this universe (I would love Arcana to be based on charisma for this one). [*]tricking/seducing the other worldly entities in to giving you power they dont necessarily want you to have. [*]The voice of power - many warlock powers are psychic and remember communication is a medium of control - perhaps you were chosen to be the voice of this other world entity and your ability is entirely eldritch charm. [/LIST] Sure thats actually not actually reflavoring its more elaborating ;p I am also very impressed when somebody goes beyond the defaults I have seen a description for a Warforged Warlock where the shadow walk was flavored as belching smoke and attacks like lasers and flame throwers a real magi-tech (I guess a natural implication of Warforged eh). Anyway I sometimes start threads hoping to inspire and get inspiration on reflavoring of the powers the first I seen of this sort was for Wizard powers and started one here on Fighter powers which was very successful I was wondering if folk would help. The idea is in someways to break imagination lock [/QUOTE]
