    I’ve always thought of an Archfey patron as being one of those old gods, like in Game of Thrones.
    Like, if you brew a potion of bat shit, dog’s blood, dirt and acorn meal, then drink it under the glow of a moon, an old crone lady will appear before you with black, sunken eyes, and bugs crawling out of every extremity.
    Then she speaks in a language that sounds like a cracking forest fire, and tells you to perform the will of the root and rot.

    @Master_E444 4 роки тому +52

    Personally, I really like this Pact. It can be rather fun and is one of the few that isn’t overtly evil since the Fiend, Hexblade, Undying and GOO are more then likely evil while this one and the Celestial are the ones more often good. I mean this one could obviously be evil or neutral as can the Celestial but they can both easily just be outright Good.
    Personally I’d do a little Fairy Tale Theme for a Character with this Patron. Combo it with Pact of the Tome for a Fairy Tale Book and a couple appropriate Invocations. Some I thought would be good would be Beast Speech, Eldritch Sight, Far Scribe (Unearthed Arcana), Mask of Many Faces, Mask of Myriad Forms, Misty Visions, Trickster’s Escape, and Witch Sight. I’d roleplay as a Storyteller who’s greatest goal is to make a story that can become as real as possible through magic and the Fey. Their Patron is just inhumanely bored and wants to see this story play out. Like a bored guy flipping through channels and who finds a show that’s decently fun and entertaining.

A large number of them are pranksters. If you don't want them pranking you, suggest they prank someone else who'd be more fun. Or have some good conversation. They may be annoying but they aren't 100% evil or immoral.
      I haven't played a Feylock yet, but I'd like to hear about your character. I personally would go for the Book cause of Fairy Tales and some flavor. Namely with writing in the Book to your patron like a Fey pen pal. Maybe they require that you routinely send them new stories as a little tribute. The Familiar could also work similarly. They make a little portion of themselves into a sprite to see the stories play out. I'd probably have them be Titania's scribe and storyteller. Like a Secondary Court Jester. Just don't mess with their library. They may not rank high, but that place isn't something you mess with.

      First, GOOs aren't evil-aligned, they're ś̢d̶͜͠ǵ̨̀̕g̷҉̛̛ś̵̴̢̧r҉̵̢͠h̶̢͜y̶̡̢ aligned. Second, if you go with the interpreation that any sufficiently powerful magic weapon can become a patron, then a hexblade can be just as likely to serve excalibur as stormbringer. the 1d4chan article on warlocks actually has a great list of ways you can justify a good-aligned warlock, sorted by patron: 1d4chan.org/wiki/Warlock#5e

      @@benthomason3307 I said for the most part. I know the GOO aren't truly evil, but they aren't good either and most aberrations are evil. I don't think most would consider grandpappy cthulu a good guy unless your also insane. The Fiend Patron is likely to 99.99% of the time evil even if the Warlock themself isn't. The Undying also is more viable as good as seen on Eberron, but evil liches are far more common then Archliches as are other undying patrons. As for Hexblade, it's possible for them to be good and all, but their abilities, flavor and lore oppose that. Hexblade, curses, Accursed Spectre, and such. I'd say Evil or Neutral Plus I know enough about Excalibur go know it isn't sentient nor is it cursed in anyway. It's more like an Artifact like the Sword of Kas or the Wand of Orcus.
      Fey cover the whole alignment spectrum with Celestials being the only predominantly good Patron. It's possible to have an evil Celestial Patron (Fallen Angel or Angel serving an Evil God), but it's not as common flavourwise. Now the alignment of the patron doesn't have to correspond to the Warlock's Alignment but I'm mostly speaking on Patrons. I made a couple Patrons involving an Ancient Dragon, Magical Tricksters, the Inevitables, and Elder Elementals like the Zaratan, Leviathan, Phoenix, and Elder Tempest.

    That Archfey is almost exactly like a minor god our characters knew in our campaign. He was a god of alcohol and peace via doing things that make you happy (like drinking and partying). He usually disguised himself as a human wizard/cleric as not to raise suspicion. Probably my most favorite NPC in the campaign.
    He was pretty kind and helpful in his own way though. My first character always manages to annoy him in some way (not intentionally though), but he's pretty friendly with my second character.

And unlike many Patrons, he has specific goals for himself and thus his followers which allow him to work in pretty much any setting you choose. Hyrsam's ultimate goal is to basically stop the interrelation between the planes. If you come from Faerun to the Feywild and ask for his help, his calculus will be about what you can do to shut out any more of your kind from joining you and polluting the Wilds with your alien cultural practices and strange magics. He collects a legion of performers from across the planes to act as his spies and saboteurs in this goal.

The PC dove into the water trying to escape and got killed by the turtle, especially when i feared them so that they couldn't even run towards the exits. Then, they tried to charm me to make me fight it instead and i just reversed it and sent them to their doom.
