    I’ve always loved the idea of playing a warlock that presents themselves to the party as a cleric (and then seeing how long it takes people to catch on, both in and out of character)

    Nothing like driving the “cleric” deeper into debt to their patron for a little more healing and then getting the whole party committed to some insane quest at the demand of the patron.

      Unless anyone in your party is able to count up to two, which is the number of spell slots you have until you reach level 11…

        Yeah, I know. It would probably take some help from the DM to homebrew a patron that has cleric-flavored cantrips, and even then it would likely only work for a few sessions at low levels, but I still like the idea

      Our party has the opposite, a cleric to the God of the abyss, and for the longest time I thought he was a warlock

      People will figure it out the first time you cast Eldritch Blast

      And if you don’t take Eldritch Blast, why are you even playing a Warlock 🤔
