[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8542152, member: 23751"] Sure, but in my experience the player has talked about that with the DM in advance and has another patron lined up to switch to. And is okay with losing abilities for a bit while "finding" the new patron in game. It's not in the same category as what this thread is about. If you pick a demon or devil as your patron, don't balk when you are asked to do something evil in repayment for gifts offered. If the player doesn't want that story, he bungled it by picking a demon lord or archdevil as his patron. That's not the DM's fault. Again, the player knew in advance that the patron could put him in that situation when he picked the patron. It's not hard to see that a demon lord or archdevil will ask the player to do bad things. It's not hard to see that a fey patron will have fey interests and ask the PC to do things long those lines. In my opinion the player balking at doing what the patron asks after choosing that patron is violating the social contract that he agreed to by picking such a patron. This is different than the advance RP set-up in the first paragraph above. Roleplay. The player picked a patron and the RP of the warlock class is such that the patron will ask the PC to do things.
