[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 6795166, member: 6704184"] I would have been really dissapointed had the warlock had the same spell system as every other caster. I'm also disapointed that the sorcerer isn't more like the warlock than like he wizard. IMO, the problem with the warlock is sticking with the pacts, instead of treating the warlock like the rogue to the wizard's fighter, and having the warlock be the class that used various "hacked" rituals, including pacts, to jack into magical power sources, thus having a combination of raw blasting power, the kind of magic usually reserved for magical creatures, and ritual style stuff like curses, calling forth otherwordly beings and powers, binding stuff, etc. IT comes close in feel, but I'd like at least one "patron" option that doesn't actually have a patron, and instead is flavored as above. Warlocks as magical hackers taking shortcuts and taking huge risks by breaking what are actually very sensible safety related rules, is much more interesting to me than "guy who sold his soul for power, but doesn't necessarily know a damn thing about magic on his own."
