[QUOTE="MechaTarrasque, post: 6913442, member: 6801226"] I think it has been a long time (maybe 1e) since there has been anything other than "there may be consequences" or something similarly vague, although my memory isn't what it used to be. I figure a god who was unhappy with a cleric could drop an angel on said cleric to show the deities displeasure (if the cleric wins the fight, the god wasn't really that displeased); I am pretty sure there was a monster in the Fiend Folio whose gig was doing that. Technically, there isn't anything in 5e so far that indicates gods aren't just really big celestials and fiends (Tiamat's type was fiend, not god, or even the subtype titan), so I think it wouldn't take much to go the 2e route. I could see an angel gifting a warlock, but it does raise questions of why do that instead of making the dude(tte) a paladin (assuming better charisma that wisdom, so not a cleric) or a favored soul sorcerer (assuming that can be inflicted on somebody like the chaos sorcerer)? I could see something like a fanatic--I live to kill demons or something like that, where a degree of separation might be good. [/QUOTE]
