You could certainly create a patron that is a deity. Just model the patron after one of the existing ones in the books or Unearthed Arcana, give him pact spells off the cleric spell list from the domain that fits the deity.
Do you have to be the same alignment as your deity?
Does it work in your game? That’s between you and your DM. In order to make sense, the alignments should not be too different (an LG worshiping an LE god for example), but their are no rules against it in any case. The gods of D&D are rather proactive.
Can a warlock fight their patron?
From a purely RAW perspective, this is a pretty clear “no,” as there isn’t a rule saying that a warlock can lose their powers this way. It’s even supported somewhat in the class description, where it says that warlocks who go around fighting against their patrons’ influence in the world are good heroic concepts.
Can a cleric have a patron?
In the 3rd Edition (and revised 3.5 Edition) of D&D the cleric must choose either a deity or an alignment concept to be dedicated to (the “patron”). Divine spellcasting in 3rd Edition is dependent on Wisdom, which restricts the highest spell levels available to the cleric.
Can Tiamat be a warlock patron?
Well, Tiamat is technically a deity, so I think that warlock would be a cleric. But fiend fits best out of all warlock patrons. You could make a warlock with a powerful abishai as a patron though.
Do Warlocks worship deities?
In D&D 5, clerics serve deities and warlocks have supernatural patrons. In PHB, warlocks’ patrons are said to be not deities – the basic options are archfey, devils & demons, and Great Old Ones.
What happens if a warlock kills his patron?
If a mortal warlock manages to kill their own patron, then they might be able to take on a fraction of the patron’s power to keep their warlock powers. “If you manage to kill your patron, you will lose all your warlock powers unless you perform a ritual to be imbued with a fraction of your vanquished patron’s power.”
What happens if a warlock goes against their patron?
The warlock can the try to reactivate or renegotiate the terms of the service. In the paycheck agreement, the Warlock happens to already be aligned with the Patron’s goal. In that case, the Patron “hires” the warlock for their services and gives appropriate “payment” (usually Warlock power).
Can a cleric have no God?
No, a cleric doesn’t need to worship a god. Eberron has a couple religions that don’t have any kind of divine entity at all, and the gods of that setting (probably) don’t even actually exist.
Can a god or goddess be a warlock patron?
“A warlock is defined by a pact with an otherworldly being. Sometimes the relationship between warlock and patron is like that of a cleric and a deity, though the beings that serve as patrons for warlocks are not gods.
Can a Pact Patron be a pact Warlock?
1) It’s quite possible for a pact patron and a god to have their goals in alignment. The cleric/warlock in question might be a handpicked agent of the god’s proxy. A cleric of Asmodeus / fiend pact warlock makes perfect sense to be aligned, as well as fey pact warlock / cleric of Corellon or any other god of the Seldarine.
Can you be both a cleric and a warlock?
Spell slots would be kind of a pain, but I think it’d be neat to be both a divine and arcane caster, and have both healing magic and attack magic be equally powerful. Asmodeus is also a classic example; he’s the epitome of both lawful evil deities and infernal warlock patrons. In 5E, his clerics have access to the Knowledge and Trickery domains.
Can a warlock be a god of Asmodeus?
The cleric/warlock in question might be a handpicked agent of the god’s proxy. A cleric of Asmodeus / fiend pact warlock makes perfect sense to be aligned, as well as fey pact warlock / cleric of Corellon or any other god of the Seldarine.
