Weave a warlocks tale of morality, hard choices, and being the most metal party member.
Warlocks inspire a lot of wonder, right out of the gate. They've got an incredible story hook baked right in, and one can sit there considering how terrifying they look for ages. But where we've fallen down before is really making that hook pay off. This episode explores the themes and potential stories that warlocks offer us, and how to play them to their heights.
In Kinship Camp we explore how to make the three elements of a warlock shine. When planning your character, you really have to consider their want and need. What were they trying to fix with their shortcut to power, and what's going to set them free from their pain? When creating your patron, work with your DM to consider their goal and the relationship between them and the warlock. Finally, we talk about steps to create a simple but powerful origin story for their deal, where their story could go, and some methods for roleplaying this unique class.
As always, huge thanks to the support of our patrons for making this episode a reality.
