[QUOTE="cranberry, post: 9446012, member: 7040349"] Not needing to choose a patron until level 3 makes absolutely no sense to me. The whole defining characteristic of being a warlock is that you make a pact with an otherworldly being, or they make an involuntary pact with you. In some way or another, a connection between the PC and the patron needs to happen for the warlock/warlock class to exist. [B][I]Because the connection is how you get your powers.[/I][/B] Without it, you're just a wanna-be spell caster. Think about it. Under the 2024 rules, all you have to do is say "I wanna be a warlock" and poof the universe grants you the ability to cast eldritch blast. Maybe it's not the "universe" that grants the PC the ability...but under the 2024 rules, [I]it's certainly not a patron either[/I].... So how do you exactly get it?
