[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 9008467, member: 6704184"] Here are the 3 ways I would play it. 1. You haven't made any significant "pact" yet, in the sense we think of warlocks making pacts. You've ritually bound some powers, maybe drawn power from a vestige, and you've gained the power needed to stand before a power otherwordly being and make a deal. The Pact Boon is the representation of that power, and of how you use it and what sort of power it is, ultimately. The Tome means you've gotten here with complex rituals, the Blade is about direct transfer of power and like, ganking low-level demons and eating their hearts or whatever, and the Chain is about binding and is the most likely to become a warlock patron after hitting level 20. 2. The patron gave/helped you find or forge/whatever the boon, and you have to go out and do things to make room within yourself for the power that is sitting in a metaphorical well, waiting for you to learn how to take more of it at a time. The patron isn't giving you something new at level 3, you've just hit a milestone in your progress toward unlocking the full potential power contained within your pact. 3. None of the patron talk exists, I'm playing a ritualist that binds power to their will. [/QUOTE]
