PCs who have a baked-in reason to WORK TOGETHER? The fuckin dream right there
Show threadAngryCommieKenderOct 15
Our baked in reason to work together was that the wizard pays well for the jobs that we did, and the wizard was just crazy enough to do things like: tell kings to “fuck off, and get her likeness correct on the wanted posters before she razes your castle to the ground.” And get away with it. It was entertaining to see what she could get away with

Try Runequest!

Starting characters are usually from the same clan so have familial bonds and a shared history.

Obviously, you can add mysterious traveller PCs later, but having the majority of the party know each other and be interconnected makes for an easy start.

Oh thats cool, ill look into it. Im all for that kinda thing, its one reason I love the funnels in DCC/MCC so much.

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.

It’s not fully documented, but there are notes on it. It’s called the Empathy Domain, custom for one of the characters on Critical Role season 3.
Empathy domain - Critical Role

The Empathy domain is a divine domain for clerics who draw magic from the power of interpersonal connections and use it to protect their comrades. The subclass was...

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

Plot twist, they can summon Captain Prime Material as a group summon, but they all have to concentrate on it to keep the summon around

Yeah, warlocks are just cutthroat clerics with off-market gods. If each of them had enough magical power to fuel another warlock’s power, they wouldn’t need to be a warlock at all.

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

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 archery powers from the Goofy One, who gets their celestial powers from the Sweet One.

I love it. “Ugh I love you girl but why did you have to give me ridiculous bullshit magic instead of something cool like I gave!” [Voice from the other room]“The skeletons are gross not cool”

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.
