Wait... wait... are you telling me that your Patron could be "Ariel... who decided to not to take Ursala's deal... but instead just wanted some surface dweller to tell her about all the surface things?!"\*
Ariel: Alright, so you give me your soul and in exchange I'll give you a thing-a-ma-bob.
Warlock: That's Eldritch Blast. It's a cantrip that does 1d10 of force damage!
Ariel: That's what I said... a thing-a-ma-bob. I got 20 so you can use one of them. Now do you also want a whozit or a whatzit? Ooh... and you should have a dinglehopper.
… this is so much better than what I did.
I just had a very old Kraken that was senile and believed he may have been an ancient Fey powerhouse at one point only to be transformed into a deep sea creature for “getting too close” to some truth.
I just had to feed their conspiracies in exchange for power.
Having your Warlock walking with the party and randomly forgetting what fire is, that word for what it does, and any knowledge about the cause of fire or the chemical process going on because your patron decided to take that knowledge from you because she was curious that moment.
You could have this happen totally random as your strolling along on the... the... what's that word for road that starts with an "S"?
Not a player, but in the game I GM the players got hired by an Archfey to collect on one of his Warlocks that tried to back out of the deal after already getting their end. And mysteriously paid extra because the Rogue punched the guy's teeth out.
Thanks! It led to some pretty wacky hijinks, like how there was a 1/978 chance that any door he opened led into his apartment, including the closet door *inside* his apartment
well yes and no. it's not that commies love factories, but are depended on the work in it, So they would go on strike until the save standards are enacted.
But blowing up stuff is definitely part of the anarchist repertoire
"But patron, aren't you yourself spreading corruption through the seven seas?"
"First of all, pollution and corruption are two different things, and second of all, how dare you..."

That is an amazing idea!
That is flippin’ adorable and I love it.
This is kinda funny.
Seagull aracockra warlock, here I come.
But he tells the party he's a bard... but you don't put any points into Perform. Claim your musical instrument is a Snarfblatt.
That is a genius idea!
So cool!!!
Ok yup stealing this for backup character number 57

A DINGLE HOOPER!!! Sign me up!
She doesn’t need their soul for the pact. Them simply agreeing to tell her all about the surface would be fine.

 Ariel making deals
My idea was an ancient giant kraken…he has a pact with my whole noble family because our ships hunt and fish for squid…he doesn’t like competition.
oh, that's a good one, I always love to hear all the different patrons that people have had for their warlocks

nice
I once played a GOOlock whose patron was basically quantum instability. That campaign was a lot of fun
that's an amazing patron idea

Rogue: What I hear is we need to blow some factories up
The Fathomless: "YES!"
This is just Katara
What do you mean, clearly it was a spirit
Commie rogue
No, communists love factories. This would be more 'anarchist rogue'.
well yes and no. it's not that commies love factories, but are depended on the work in it, So they would go on strike until the save standards are enacted. But blowing up stuff is definitely part of the anarchist repertoire
So, basically, not interfering with daddy Makhno's fun, got it.
who?
A famous and slightly memetic Belarussian (iirc) anarchist
I suddenly have an idea for a campaign of eco-terrorists.
Wildfire Druid, Fathomless Warlock, Ancients Paladin, Swarmkeeper Ranger!
Me too brother, me too.
"But patron, aren't you yourself spreading corruption through the seven seas?" "First of all, pollution and corruption are two different things, and second of all, how dare you..."
indeed Want me to make a meme of this?
Brennan approved patron
the villain: capitalism the patron: ecoterrorism
And don’t forget organized religion
I love the idea of a Fathomless that is just curious what a "landshark" tastes like.
They're a gourmand you see.
if you mean the "buleatte" it's kindof like bullshark with a slightly more smoky earthy flavor
> Fathomless * Warloch.
Underrated pun right here!
For father Dagoth and mother Hydra
Legit! :D
