![]() This remix will focus on the latter option. But oddly, nearly every fix I’ve seen chooses to take the former approach with pacts. This is the fluff presented in Complete Arcane, and it is how I’ve always seen them. The power they wield is not the result of some bargain made with mysterious beings from beyond, it is a fundamental part of who they are. Usually a demon or fey hiding in the family tree as a great-great-great grandfather or something. Which leads me to the second fluff path: a warlock is a being that has inherited it’s power from it’s ancestors. The binder captures the feel of pact-making far better than any warlock fix I have ever seen. However, 3.5 has another class that deals with supernatural entities in exchange for power - the binder. The popularity of this version, I suspect, is due in large part to 4th edition, as that is the fluff for warlocks there. The first path, the one I’ve been seeing far more often, is a person who makes a pact with some eldritch and powerful being for arcane power. This is certainly for it’s flavor, which has curiously diverged into two very different paths. ![]() Now, the warlock is a well-loved class by many, myself included. So I’m updating my rewrite to incorporate the experience I’ve gained since I first wrote it. It was recently brought to my attention again, and looking over it, I find myself distinctly unsatisfied. The basic idea was that I was unsatisfied with how focused the mechanical side of the class was on dark, evil powers when the fluff clearly indicated that there were alternate methods for being a warlock. ![]() I worked up a rewrite of the warlock several years ago.
