How to: become a hag coven.

Friendship is Magic!

Matt Mercer basically made a Friendship Domain for clerics, why not a warlock patron? Could have some fun mechanics based on whether the party is together or separated.

This could actually be a fun way to add a character building twist where an individual’s powers don’t match their own personality, but that of one of their friends.

The Sweet One gets their great old one powers from the Spacy One, who gets their fiend powers from the Hot-Tempered One, who gets their undead powers from the Goth One, who gets their archfey powers from the Goofy One, who gets their celestial powers from the Sweet One.

Perpetual mana machine? Magical power MLM? Cultist cooperative?

either way I’m in

I think that’s more of a Paladin Oath

I have been working on a scenario setup based on a previous posting of this idea. MLM, multi-level magicking. Boil-down is that the party is a group of newbie mages (warlocks in DnD terms) at one or more of the local ‘Mages guilds,’ (which guild is determined by subclass) organizations which send out Mages to ‘help’ in one way or another. Some of the work is paid, but plenty of it is pro bono publica. The guilds have a great reputation because of the pro bono work, so PCs start with a very high-fantasy power rangers feel, but they got their powers by entering a magical loyalty contract to their ‘Mentor,’ and some of the jobs they get sent on will seem kind of ‘…off’ compared to the others, and they find out the only way to become more powerful (literally to gain levels, XP is meaningless/capped) is to find their Mentor’s Mentor and take their Mentor’s place, removing their Mentor’s power, which their mentor doesn’t want. So the party slowly gets to see that only the sneakiest, most conniving and underhanded Mages are able to advance, but now they have to either advance, or quit and become commoners.

Welcome to the Tremere.

Ooo, sounds like a coven of Seneschal Witches from Pathfinder 2e!

What’s the community for accidentalpolyamory

Fabula Ultima implements the power of friendship in a nice discrete way. Wish I could motivate my friends to play it though :(
