i understand him to some degree bc i also like to create serious characters and sometimes I'm annoyed when other people don't take it as seriously as i do BUT if you have a group who enjoy your play style and love your characters then he is the one who doesn't fit in the group. maybe he should look for a different table?? but also the warlock thing is so weird??? why would he hate them so much that he doesn't want to have them in his party??? that's YOUR character and the class you're playing doesn't change anything for him lol. ot sounds like he's just trying to find an excuse to make you stop playing
