[QUOTE="Nevvur, post: 7630537, member: 6783882"] Not that my players lack for creativity, but if they're imagining such things at the table, they haven't shared. Could be worth my while to chat with them about it. The closest thing that's come up at this time is our e-blaster warlock, who uses a bow to shoot force arrows from an ethereal string. Mechanically, it's just a staff focus and eldritch blast, but it jives well with his demon hunter concept. There's only one spellcaster PC I've played whose magic I really went into detail with. Oath of the Ancients Paladin. His magic was not sourced from within, but through his relationship with an archfey. Thematically closer to a warlock. I was joining a campaign in progress, the DM started me at level 8 with mithril plate. Covered in etchings of trees, ivy, etc. We said it was a gift from his 'patron,' and it reacted to the paladin's magic use. The etchings would writhe and twist anytime he invoked magic, with specific spells having more unique effects. His sword burst forth small showers of golden leaves when he used smite. That sort of thing. His 'inner world' while casting amounted to getting spiritually laid by his hawt archfey patron. Immensely pleasurable. When he fought, it was with an expression of unbridled joy.
