Honestly it’s a fucking GENIUS idea…
as DM, i’d allow this, but even a hint of unfriendly behavior is gonna suffer some debuffs. ya’ll better take a couple levels of paladin or something
Emphasis on the “pal.”
i didn’t even see what i did there
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.
Linkplz?
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.
that looks fun to play
PCs who have a baked-in reason to WORK TOGETHER? The fuckin dream right there
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.
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

My little pony X D&D
Pretty sure there’s already a mlp ttrpg

Perpetual mana machine? Magical power MLM? Cultist cooperative?
either way I’m in
Warlock polycule
If anyone dies the whole circle jerk falls apart and ends in a tpk.
*token ring
Fabula Ultima implements the power of friendship in a nice discrete way. Wish I could motivate my friends to play it though :(
Do we need to bust out the Brennan speech again?
The greatest twist of all, all the friends are actually five generations of the same line of chronomancers all on their 18th birthday coming of age quest to seek wisdom and power from their ancestors. Disturbingly, they all have an ancestral patron in the squad.
Someone is ripping off

John Bierce’s Mage Errant series here
Not my little pony: friendship is magic?
Edit: after scrolling down, others got to it first.
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
I think that’s more of a Paladin Oath
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!
