[4e] Evangelist Warlock
I'm playing a warlock who is/believes he is the first priest of the Old Ones, and is trying to spread the good news. I'll be giving sermons in town squares about the importance of hastening Yog Sogoth's inevitable awakening and destruction of the prime material, Astral Sea, etc. in order to build a cult.
Normally I'd argue that sermonizing is Diplomacy/Religion, but would "If you don't worship the Old Ones you'll have to watch them devour your friends" be Intimidate/Arcana instead? If not, is there a better way for me to gain training in Diplomacy than Skill Training?Author of The Auspician's Handbook and The Tempestarian's Handbook for Spheres of Power.

Sure, if you can convince your DM of that. Originally Posted by JeffreytheGreen

Re: [4e] Evangelist Warlock
Background would be the best way to go, pick the right one and you may get a +2 in it :p
I have to give Paizo credit...
They took an established work and said they fixed it but didn't actually fix it and yet still made money off from it.
How can you beat that?

Re: [4e] Evangelist Warlock
Depends. Might be able to grab Diplomacy as a class skill with one of the divine multiclass feats (not sure, I think they all give Religion but haven't really checked) and thereby also open up that paragon-tier feat (Sibling to the Stars) that lets eldritch blast and warlock's curse do radiant damage (in case it ever matters).

Re: [4e] Evangelist Warlock
A paladin multiclass feat seems like a good choice flavor-wise, too. I'd go for that.

One almost has to thank Jack Chick for inspiring so many excellent works of parody. Originally Posted by SITB

Re: [4e] Evangelist Warlock
Would it be worth it to grab Bardic Dilettante (i.e. daily use of majestic word and training in a skill) instead of using a background? I was already planning on picking up Bardic Ritualist since we need a ritual caster and my INT is decent. I also find the idea of singing hymns to Yog Soggoth and the Old Ones hilarious.
Yep, that's me. Originally Posted by SITB
