Description: You have the ability to use Divine Intervention and all the other “Ask to your God” spells any times you want with an instant recharge only if you use it for something silly (DM’s decision) and if your God is Chaotic-Neutral/Good aligned.
Functionality: You use the spell to ask something silly to your God (another of the same meal you just had, to win a low/no reward slug race, have a nice silly hat, find a good pun on the spot, etc etc) and the God does it, then you feel a pat on your head and hear an astral voice say “Yes, sure darling, no need to use your precious spells for this” you feel warm and then everything turns back to normal, with your wish granted.
This can also work for warlocks only if your patron is Chaotic-Neutral/Good aligned.
In general, this can take effects if your deity is a momma type, even if it’s Lawful/Good but if it is Lawful/Good sometimes it will say things like “But next time use it for good alright sweetie?” making you feel slightly guilty, the more you use it for sillies without using it for something good.
Inspiration: the BG3 playthrough of @dare-to-dm (silly paladins are my favourite, use this so you can have fun in D&D sweetie ❤️)
This all started (my homebrew journey) because of this guy and one other guy lol. My friend has a podcast and we all decided to bring one homebrew creation to the table and now I'm many homebrew deep.
Anyway, this is inspired by Fallen Angels and their desire to return to heaven, with some options for what your Fallen Angel patron might be like/what their motives might be!
This warlock patron is called a Trickster. A Trickster is a powerful otherwordly entity: resourceful, cunning, prone to mischief, manipulative, and deceitful. A Trickster upsets rules and conventions, delighting in pushing boundaries to further their goals.
Tricksters occupy a wonderful and delightful place in mythologies and folklore across all of human cultures, and I think that because often they are powerful with magic abilities, but often not gods, they make perfect Warlock patrons.
This warlock subclass is very unique, mixing abilities similar to a druid (shapechanging), divination wizard (changing rolls), and the rune knight (making others the targets of your attacks).
My final art piece for 2023!
these are imaginaries of how the top popular warlock patrons would've looked as their own characters
here they are! extremely gay and dangerous
we have:
Gracious, or The Benevolent Stranger is one part of a triplicate Goddess in my world. She’s the Goddess of good fortune, travellers, pilgrims, generous hosts, actors and a bunch of other stuff.
My player’s sort-of cleric, Dawn, is dedicated to Gracious, so she did a lot of the heavy lifting in the making of Gracious, but I love her to bits!
An unused character designed to be a huggable impish patron for a warlock player in a game I briefly hosted a while ago. The player ended up choosing to play something else, so the character was never used.
Maybe they will see the light of day next time I try to host a game.
Create a cleric or a paladin that is a tattoo artist that tattoos holy symbols on themselves and others so that they can cast magic
You could also make a deity who disguises themselves as a tattoo artist to give people holy symbols without their knowledge making them have to work for the deity and the only way to get out of the contract would be to cut off the tattoo.
