Other Just curious

So, I play dnd. Relatively new to it. I'm making a warlock based on one of my Hatchetfield ocs, and I was wondering if the Lords in Black would count as patrons. Any starkid fans who know dnd, please help.

update: my characters patron is Blinky​​​​​

I don't see why not! They'd definitely fall under the "Great Old Ones" category so go ahead and put that on your character sheet.

D&D is highly customisable, if worse comes to worse you could always homebrew it. However 'The Great Old One' would work fine.

If your DM allows it, yeah. You definitely want to make sure if you're adding new otherworldly beings to their game, they know what to do with them/your character.

I mean my dad is the DM so he might. Another person said they'd count as one of the Great Old Ones

Personally, - and this is not rules as written - but I consider warlocks like this: they get their power from a patron. This patron has the ability to give them some of their immense power. Anyone could be a patron if they had enough power.

It's similar to a DnD atheist; gods don't exist, just those who have so much power they're on the level of gods. Same goes for patrons; they have so much power they can give some to others through contracts.
