As a DM, I need ideas on what to allow and to not allow in my games. So, here's a question:
Warlocks, what is the dumbest thing the DM let you do because of your patron, and what were the consequences? Examples include surviving an impossible situation, gaining godly powers, etc.
By reading this signature, you have agreed to pull 20 cards from the deck of many things. If you lose your soul in any way, it will go to me and the following will happen: When you create your next character, you will become a celestial warlock in servitude to me. Once a month, I require an ounce of empyrean blood. If you fail to deliver on this, all the cards you pulled will converge on you at once.
I haven’t ever gotten incredible Deus Ex Machina powers or anything as a result of being a Warlock. There is a Cleric feature called Divine Intervention that sometimes does something like that.
It depends on the kind of group you are playing for. If you are a more freeform, ignoring quite a few rules and just doing what seems fun in the moment without caring as much about a balanced board game-esque game, go ahead. If you are pretty much just following the rules with only minor alterations, Warlocks don’t inherently get any special back-pocket plot armor from their patron, especially because Clerics get their own special ability that has a huge chance of failing.
