Public Poll: New party member
🕑 Added 2020-12-26 15:38:19 +0000 UTCHowdy folks!
So, if ya missed it, a new party member was introduced in the latest comic: Klara the Tiefling Warlock!
I thought it would be fun to get some community feedback of what type of warlock Klara is. I recently held a couple of polls on what my patrons' favourite warlock types were and while I planned for that result to influence Klaras character, I decided it would be better to have people make a more informed vote. I'll use the results from the previous warlock polls to create something... ELSE.
Some of you might react to the fact that Hexblade is an option, Hexblade being a patron option in D&D 5e and not a pact boon.
I already have decided what Klara's patron is (let's call it "Steve") but in the case of the Hexblade option below, there will be some flavour added to make a weapon play a bigger role. Basically in the all options the pact is sealed more or less directly with Steve but with the Hexblade option the pact is sealed through a sentient magical weapon. There will be some reflavour to make it work!
Why does the hexblade get a bit special treatment? Well...
On to the poll!
For those not initiated in the dark arts of D&D, allow me to briefly explain the chief differences between the options below.
Pact of the Tome
Klara gets a creepy book from her patron! Essentially specialising her into more of a spellcaster.
Pact of the Chain
The warlock get a familiar! This familiar, a spirit in the form of a small creature, can take many forms. Things like bats, cats, crab, octopus, raven or even pseudodragons, quasits or sprites. So Klara gets a small animal/demon/spirit side-kick!
Pact of the Blade
The warlock can create a pact weapon or transform an existing magical weapon into a pact weapon. Klara gets a magic weapon and is a more martially focused warlock, aka a bladelock!
Hexblade: Pact of the Blade
In this case, Klara has made a pact (of the blade) with a eldritch being that can manifest itself as a sentient magical weapon. We're leaning HEAVILY into the weapon aspect of the Bladelock. For more crunch related info, the Hexblade lock can add it's charisma modifier instead of their strength/dexterity modifier when making an attack and gains access to medium armor from the get-go.
EDIT:
It has come to my attention that there is an additional optional pact in the latest D&D book: Tasha's Cauldron of Everything. I have yet to read that cover to cover so I missed it! I can unfortunately not change the poll options below but should you want Klara to have that pact, vote on that option by liking my comment in the comment section!
Pact of the Talisman
A recent addition in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything! Steve gives Klara an amulet that will aid the wearer (doesn't have to be Klara). Ya get a demon pendant, neat!
Allrighty, let's get this vote on the road! You can vote for any and all of the options below until the 29/12 at 01:00 AM CET.
Peace and carrots!

I'm voting chain because Trevor is already a spellcaster and Grogna (I had to search previous pages for half an hour to find her name) is already a sword swinger, and skill diversity could make for more interesting scenarios. Then again, having Kara and Beckett bonding over weapons and martial skill would be really fun...
