Strategically, it sets Rinn up to be able to bring some serious voodoo down on the baddies.  Tactically, there are a few things I can do out of the gate (even as a 1st level Warlock) that could better enable Sparks to have even more success when dishing out the evocation spells.\r\n\r\nThat last idea is primarily fueled using the 1st level Warlock spell _Hex_.  _Hex_ is cast as a bonus action, has a range of 90 feet, and can last up to an hour.  A creature in range is chosen, and for the duration of the spell (or the creatures remaining HP), any attack that Rinn does deals an extra 1d6 points of damage, and I would choose any one ability to have that creature have disadvantage on saves.  So naturally, I'm thinking \"Golly, would it be nice to have a baddie's Dex save be crippled when rolling for half damage against Sparks' (@ecowden)  :fire: _Burning Hands_ :fire:  (or soon, :boom:  _Fireball_ :boom:)?\"\r\n\r\nI'd also get 2 cantrips.  _Eldritch Blast_ has a range of 120' and deals 1d10 damage on successful spell attack :point_right: -------------------------- (wait for it...) --------- when paired with _True Strike_ --------- it gives me advantage to whack baddies at a respectable distance with a fair assurance of making the connection-------- :boom: :dragon: :skull: \r\n\r\nThere are other notable benefits to taking a level of Warlock.  Depending on the type of patron I choose, I could gain the ability to communicate telepathically with any sentient creature within 30' that I have line of sight on.  That's a massive tactical advantage when you consider that Rinn would effectively act as a communications node for relaying information silently within the party.\r\n\r\nIf you've got a copy of the PHB out and you're reading up on the Warlock class, you're probably realizing from that last ability that I'm looking at the Great Old One patron-type.  So you might be saying to yourself, \"Uh, yeah that's cool and stuff - but Rinn's just a little unhinged already.  Are we sure we want was basically amounts to Cthulu complementing his worship of a trickster god?\"\r\n\r\nI've been giving some thought to the last few sessions, and I've concluded that I'm not really digging this dark side of Rinn.  I'm okay with a little crazy, but the sadism isn't really where I want to take that character.\r\n\r\nI'm keeping the ball-bearings though.  Just probably won't use them as I had described.

The way I see it, Rinn has had no less than 3 separate brushes with death (2 at the hands of Cyanwrath).  I don't think that it's unreasonable that somewhere in the dark tunnel (where on one end is the white light, and the other is Sparks and/or Kurtzar dragging him back to the land of the stabilized) that he wouldn't attract the attention of his new Great Old One patron.\r\n\r\nRinn's introduction to this alien intelligence will have the effect of taming his more disruptive nature, and providing him with some additional tools to work a more subtle mission for his god."}}
