Idea 4: You have always had memories of a seeming past life, at some point you start remembering spells whenever you would learn them.
You are actually the result of a powerful magic user slightly botching the clone spell they wanted to use to regain their youth.

[Frederic_S]

In this day and age there is truly no excuse for not having a backstory and (!) these are so short and jet so damn good altogether.

The tattoo one is a great way to use dragon marks outside of Ebberron.

[MrFortyer]

Not to be nit picky but I think the tattoo one should be for sorcerer because the magic comes from within instead of bending the ambiant acrcanes like wizzard learn to

[Teraclon]

Oh, you fancy man! Loving these backstories! Yoink!!!

Idea 4 warlock: you were sacriby an old party that saw you as unfit and sacrificed you to a god sealing you away you called out to a name you rembered when reading and your patron came and gave you a new life

The Mark one could make a whole damn class.

The Marked: You were once a normal individual with no powers of your own, however one way or another you got a mysterious mark placed on you. It seems to slowly integrate itself into your body, making you more powerful at the cost of the entity behind the mark slowly taking control of you and eventually, you are completely at their mercy. Will you try to fight back against your fate, or will you welcome it with open arms?

In later levels, the influence will start to become clear. Like if your Marker, essentially your patron, heavily values protection, you yourself will slowly become more peotective. in some instances, nothing may change because their and your personality may align already. Its entirely Marker dependant.

I'm playing a Divine soul Sorcerer (themed as a warlock) who is the phylactory of a dracolich

Idea for my wild magic sorcerer.

A wizard visits a town who also has a deck of many things. A child steals the magic item from the wizard. Pulls out the a card. Card gives wish. He wishes, "I wish to be magical." BOOM! Everything from the wild magic table occurs. Once a human brat is now a stray tabaxi.( Reincarnate spell) .

[monkereads]

I feel like the first one should be sorcerer not wizard since wizards use a spell book and study

[michaelwinter]

You got brain damage and started hallucinating. Turns out those hallucinations were really happening.

[CooperAATE]

I'm already using the 2nd one, except the patron is a blue dracolich, and I had to kill my team (including my dad) to "earn" her favor.

One thing dor warlock is to be deceived by an evil entity pretendibg to be the god you worship
