I’m introducing a new character for our campaign (I’m a player) and he’s going to be a warlock mob boss. What is an in character reason that they wouldn’t be allowed to kill me when being recruited by a king?
A mob boss is always going to have a trump card-a measure of power that keeps them protected. A few ideas:
You hold the Kings favor because you and your goons do his dirty work.
You know the names of the PCs family. You make subtle threats about what could happen if you are harmed in any way.
You provide access to pleasures that everyone wants...gambling and other illicit activities. Of course now you are in a great position for a little blackmail.
You are a charming PC with a high Charisma so there is no need to tell anyone you are a mob boss. They just like you.
You are mob boss but you are also Robin Hood. You care for and protect the weak. So what’s the big deal if you take a little for yourself?
Take the Charlatan background and use the False Identity feature to make sure everyone thinks the mob boss is actually someone else. And then make sure they never find out!
I recommend playing a Changeling.
