[QUOTE="Mallus, post: 6462956, member: 3887"] I don't mean to come off like jumping on your opinions. I brought up the genie/patron thing for a reason, but I probably should have been clearer. If a player comes to you wanting a genie as their Warlock patron, why not just go with it? Why raise an argument in the first place -- and why is an argument your first response. It seems trivially easy to make a genie work as a patron -- it takes as much effort/rationalization to problematize it. So why make a problem instead of a solution? This is a question of DM'ing philosophy. So you've run several 5e campaigns to at least mid-level and observed multiclass PCs lag behind their single class counterparts? How is Agonizing Blast categorically different from a Sorcerer's Elemental Affinity? Both add CHA to cantrip damage. Other that one has the word "agonizing" in it's name... [/QUOTE]
