Warlock
With a pseudodragon curled on his shoulder, a young elf in golden robes smiles warmly, weaving a magical charm into his honeyed words and bending the palace sentinel to his will. As flames spring to life in her hands, a wizened human whispers the secret name of her demonic patron, infusing her spell with fiendish magic. Shifting his gaze between a battered tome and the odd alignment of the stars overhead, a wild-eyed tiefling chants the mystic ritual that will open a doorway to a distant world. Warlocks are seekers of the knowledge that lies hidden in the fabric of the multiverse. Through pacts made with mysterious beings of supernatural power, warlocks unlock magical effects both subtle and spectacular. Drawing on the ancient knowledge of beings such as fey nobles, demons, devils, hags, and alien entities of the Far Realm, warlocks piece together arcane secrets to bolster their own power.
Sworn and Beholden
A warlock is defined by a pact with an otherworldly being. Sometimes the relationship between warlock and patron is like that of a cleric and a deity, though the beings that serve as patrons for warlocks are not gods. A warlock might lead a cult dedicated to a demon prince, an archdevil, or an utterly alien entity-beings not typically served by clerics. More often, though, the arrangement is similar to that between a master and an apprentice. The warlock learns and grows in power, at the cost of occasional services performed on the patron's behalf. The magic bestowed on a warlock ranges from minor but lasting alterations to the warlock's being (such as the ability to see in darkness or to read any language) to access to powerful spells. Unlike bookish wizards, warlocks supplement their magic with some facility at hand-to-hand combat. They are comfortable in light armor and know how to use simple weapons.
Delvers into Secrets
Warlocks are driven by an insatiable need for knowledge and power, which compels them into their pacts and shapes their lives. This thirst drives warlocks into their pacts and shapes their later careers as well. Stories of warlocks binding themselves to fiends are widely known. But many warlocks serve patrons that are not fiendish. Sometimes a traveler in the wilds comes to a strangely beautiful tower, meets its fey lord or lady, and stumbles into a pact without being fully aware of it. And sometimes, while poring over tomes of forbidden lore, a brilliant but crazed student's mind is opened to realities beyond the material world and to the alien beings that dwell in the outer void.
Once a pact is made, a warlock's thirst for knowledge and power can't be slaked with mere study and research. No one makes a pact with such a mighty patron if he or she doesn't intend to use the power thus gained. Rather, the vast majority of warlocks spend their days in active pursuit of their goals, which typically means some kind of adventuring. Furthermore, the demands of their patrons drive warlocks toward adventure.
Creating a Warlock
As you make your warlock character, spend some time thinking about your patron and the obligations that your pact imposes upon you. What led you to make the pact, and how did you make contact with your patron? Were you seduced into summoning a devil, or did you seek out the ritual that would allow you to make contact with an alien elder god? Did you search for your patron, or did your patron find and choose you? Do you chafe under the obligations of your pact or serve joyfully in anticipation of the rewards promised to you? Work with your DM to determine how big a part your pact will play in your character's adventuring career. Your patron's demands might drive you into adventures, or they might consist entirely of small favors you can do between adventures. What kind of relationship do you have with your patron? Is it friendly, antagonistic, uneasy, or romantic? How important are you to your patron? What is your part in your patron's plans? Do you know other servants of your patron? How does your patron communicate with you? If you have a familiar, it might occasionally speak with your patron's voice. Some warlocks find messages from their patrons etched on trees, mingled among tea leaves, or adrift in the clouds — messages that only the warlock can see. Other warlocks converse with their patrons in dreams or waking visions, or deal only with intermediaries.
Quick Build
You can make a warlock quickly by following these suggestions. First, Intelligence or Charisma should be your highest ability score, followed by Constitution. Second, choose the charlatan background. Third, choose the chill touch and prestidigitation cantrips, along with the 1st-level spells armor of agathys and hellish rebuke.

Otherworldly Patron
At 1st level, you have struck a bargain with an otherworldly being of your choice: the Archfey, the Celestial, the Fiend, the Great Old One, the Radiant Storm, the Shadowforce, the Stars, the Undying, or the Warrior-Saint. Your choice grants you features at 1st level and again at 6th level, 10th level, and 14th level.
Patron Spells
Your Patron has granted you access to certain spells. You gain access to these spells at their corresponding Warlock level (1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th). Once you gain a patron spell, you always know it, and it doesn't count against the number of spells you know. If you gain a spell that doesn’t appear on the warlock spell list, the spell is nonetheless a warlock spell for you.
Pact Magic
Your arcane research and the magic bestowed on you by your patron have given you facility with spells. See the Spells chapter of the Player's Handbook for the general rules of spellcasting and for the warlock spell list.
The pact you have struck with your patron has given you the ability to cast spells.
Cantrips
You know two cantrips of your choice from the warlock spell list.
Learning New Cantrips:
You learn additional warlock cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Class Features (Warlock) table.
Replacing Known Cantrips:
When you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the warlock cantrips you know and replace it with another cantrip from the warlock spell list.
Spell Slots
The Warlock table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your warlock spells of 1st through 5th level. The table also shows what the level of those slots is; all of your spell slots are the same level. To cast one of your warlock spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a spell slot. You do not regain any pact magic spell slots upon completing a short or long rest. Additionally, you may only use your pact magic spell slots to cast Warlock spells or use other Warlock features. For example, when you are 5th level, you have two 3rd-level spell slots. To cast the 1st-level spell witch bolt, you must spend one of those slots, and you cast it as a 3rd-level spell.
You can spend 1 minute entreating your patron for aid to regain all your expended spell slots from your Pact Magic feature. You may use this feature a number of times equal to your Spellcasting Ability modifier (maximum of three, minimum once) before completing a long rest.
Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher
At 1st level, you know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the warlock spell list.
Learning New Spells:
The Spells Known column of the Class Features (Warlock) table shows when you learn more warlock spells of your choice of 1st level and higher. A spell you choose must be of a level no higher than what's shown in the table's Slot Level column for your level. When you reach 6th level, for example, you learn a new warlock spell, which can be 1st, 2nd, or 3rd level.
Replacing Known Spells:
When you gain a level in this class, you can replace any and all of your warlock spells, substituting them with ones appropriate for your level.
Spell Versatility
Whenever you finish a long rest, you can replace one spell you learned from this Pact Magic feature with another spell from the warlock spell list. The new spell must be the same level as the spell you replace.
Spellcasting Ability
Choose either Intelligence or Charisma when you gain this feature. Your choice determines your spellcasting ability for your warlock spells. You use the chosen ability score when setting the saving throw DC and when making attack rolls with warlock spells you cast. Also, you gain proficiency in saving throws using the chosen ability.
Spell Save DC
Spell attack modifier
Pact Boon
When you make a pact with a patron, you are rewarded with a boon — a special artifact that symbolizes the eldritch bargain that has been struck.
This section introduces four pact boons for you to choose from — blade, chain, tome, and wand.
Spellcasting Focus: For as long as you are holding or wearing it, your pact boon acts as a spellcasting focus for your warlock spells.
Choosing your Pact
Choose your pact from one of the following options:
-
Pact of the Blade: You want physical power, and you are rewarded with an eldritch weapon.
-
Pact of the Chain: You want to control others, and you are rewarded with a familiar-summoning trinket.
-
Pact of the Tome: You want forbidden knowledge, and you are rewarded with an eldritch spellbook.
-
Pact of the Wand: You want to destroy your enemies, and you are rewarded with a wand of destruction.
Your pact boon artifact bears the unmistakable mark of your patron—fiendish red veins, fey vines and flowers, aberrant runes and etchings, etc. You may decide how your artifact is branded by your patron.
Sealing your Pact
You gain your pact boon artifact once you seal your pact—traditionally by means of making a promise or sacrifice to your patron. Choose one of the following, or define your own sealing ritual:
-
I made a promise: You have sworn to perform a particular service in the name of your patron. Your promise should be (a) achievable and (b) narrow enough in scope so that it can be reasonably addressed during gameplay.
-
I made a sacrifice: You sacrificed something of great value to your patron.
Describe how you sealed your pact with your patron, or pick a random suggestion (if appropriate) from the Promises and Sacrifices tables.
Renewing your Pact
If you lose your pact boon artifact, you can perform a 1-hour ceremony to receive a replacement artifact from your patron.
This ceremony can be performed during a short or long rest, and it destroys the previous boon item.
A New Seal
Depending on the circumstances in which you lost your artifact, your patron may demand that you renew your pact with a fresh seal. This may require you to make a new promise or sacrifice.

In addition, you gain proficiency with medium armor, shields, and martial weapons.
Pact Weapon
Item, Weapon
You can spend one action to summon your pact weapon into your empty hand. You can choose the form that this weapon takes each time you summon it — a dagger, a sword, a bow, etc — though it must be a form you are proficient with.
Your weapon bears the unmistakable mark of your eldritch patron — fiendish red veins, fey vines and flowers, aberrant runes and etchings, etc.
-
Eldritch Strike: When you attack with this weapon, you can use your warlock spellcasting ability modifier instead of Strength or Dexterity, for the attack and damage rolls.

Blade Adept
Beginning at 3rd level, you can transform a magic weapon into your pact weapon by performing a special, eldritch ritual. The ritual takes 1 hour, during which you must be holding the weapon. You can then dismiss the weapon, shunting it into an extradimensional space.
The weapon appears whenever you create your pact weapon thereafter. You can't affect an artifact or a sentient weapon in this way. The weapon ceases being your pact weapon if you die, if you perform the 1-hour ritual on a different weapon, or if you use a 1-hour ritual to break your bond to it. The weapon appears at your feet if it is in the extradimensional space when the bond breaks.

Eldritch Brand
At 5th level, when you hit a creature with your Pact Weapon, you may expend one spell slot to brand the creature and deal an extra 1d6 force damage per spell slot level. This brand lasts for 1 minute. A creature can only be affected by one brand at any one time.

-
Chain Master: When you take the Attack action, you can forgo one of your attacks, or use your bonus action to allow your familiar to spend its reaction and make one attack of its own.
-
I Remember: The Companion or Familiar that is summoned by this trinket is always the same one.

I Serve: Your familiar has a personality of its own— it may or may not be happy to serve you. But whatever its attitude, the familiar must obey the command of whomever wears the trinket.
Chained Companion

With 5 hour of work and the expenditure of 30 gp worth of rare incense, you call forth your Companion from whichever plane it comes from.
At the end of the 1 hour, your chained companion appears and gains all the benefits of your Servant's Bond ability. You can have only one chained companion at a time The companion obeys your commands as best it can.
If your companion is ever slain, the magical bond you share allows you to return it to life. With 1 hours of work and the expenditure of 15 gp worth of rare incense, you call forth your companion's spirit and use your magic to create a new body for it. You can return it to life in this manner even if you do not possess any part of its body, but you require the trinket.
Forging the Companion
You can find the rules for creating a chained companion here
Servant's Bond
Your Chained Companion gains a variety of benefits while it is accompanying you
- It acts on your initiative, and you determine its actions, decisions, attitudes, and so on (no action required by you). If you are incapacitated or absent, your Companion acts on its own.
- Your Chained Companion has abilities and game statistics determined in part by your level. Your Companion uses your proficiency bonus rather than its own.
- Whenever you gain the Ability Score Improvement class feature, your Companion’s abilities also improve. Your Companion can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or it can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. Your Companion can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
- During the course of a short rest, you can shape and meld your Companion's body, causing them to take a different form. You can transform them into one of the forms given in the find familiar spell
Chain Mind
Starting at 3rd level, while your companion is on the same plane of existence, you can communicate with it telepathically. Additionally, as an action, you can see through your companion’s eyes and hear what it hears until the start of your next turn, gaining the benefits of any special senses that the companion has. During this time, you are deaf and blind with regard to your own senses. Lastly, while perceiving through your companion’s senses, you can also speak through your servant in your own voice, even if it is normally incapable of speech. When looking through your companion’s eyes, if you have any of the following invocations, your companion gains the benefit of them as well: devil’s sight, eldritch sight, eyes of the rune keeper, witch sight.

It gains a bonus to attack and damage rolls equal to half your proficiency bonus, and the DC for any saving throws it uses increases by an equal amount.

Book of Erudition
Starting at 1st level, you gain a book of forbidden knowledge from your patron, granting you more power over the arcane.

Book of Erudition
Item, Book
An eldritch book of forbidden knowledge. While you are holding your Book of Erudition, you can cast your warlock spells as a ritual if they have the ritual tag.

Choose one of the following classes: bard, cleric, druid, sorcerer, or wizard. You must choose your spells from that class's spell list. (the two need to be from the same list). The spells appear in the book and don't count against the number of spells you know.
Additionally, when your Pact Magic feature lets you learn or replace a warlock cantrip or a warlock spell of 1st level or higher, you can choose the new spell from your selected class's spell list or the warlock spell list. You must otherwise obey all the restrictions for selecting the spell, and it becomes a warlock spell for you. Whenever you gain a level, you may trade one of these selected spells for a new one so long as it is of a level which you can cast.
With your Book of Erudition in hand, you can cast the chosen spells as if they are warlock spells. On your adventures, you can add other spells to your Book of Erudition (if they are from your chosen spell list or warlock spells). When you find a warlock spell of 1st level or higher, you can add it to your Book of Erudition if it is of a level which you can cast, and if you can spare the time to transcribe the spell. For each level of the spell, the transcription process takes 2 hours and costs 50 gp for the rare inks needed to inscribe it. If the spell is from your chosen list, the time and cost is double the normal amount.
Arcane Inscription
At 7th level, you learn the secrets of transferring spells, granting your allies powers beyond belief. You visibly inscribe the flesh of the creature with a warlock spell of 1st level or higher that you know, expending a spell slot appropriate to cast the spell.

During your turn, you can use your bonus action to force the creature to use its reaction to immediately cast the spell in a manner of your choosing, selecting targets or effects as you desire. If the creature can’t cast the spell, your bonus action is wasted. The creature uses its Intelligence or Charisma score (Whichever is higher) as its spellcasting ability for this spell.

Eldritch Essence
At 3rd level, you prepare the list of wand powers that are available for you, choosing from the wand power list. When you do so, choose up to three powers. You must meet all prerequisites for a wand power in order to prepare it. You can change your list of prepared powers when you finish a long rest.

Additionally, you gain another damage type of your choice. Wand Powers can be found below
Wand Master
At 5th level, you can prepare five Wand Powers of your choice. Additionally, whenever you deal a damage type from your chosen list, you ignore resistance to damage of the chosen type.

Every creature within a 20-foot radius of that must make a Dexterity saving throw or take eldritch blast damage equal to the number of beams available, as well as any invocations and wand powers on a failed save, or half as much with no additional effects on a successful one. You can use this ability a number of times equal to 1 plus your spellcasting ability modifier
Eldritch Destruction
At 7th level, while you are holding the wand, you can spend an action to channel the ruinous energies of your Patron through your wand. Scattering beams of destructive force erupt from your wand.

Some patrons collect warlocks, doling out mystic knowledge relatively freely or boasting of their ability to bind mortals to their will. Other patrons bestow their power only grudgingly, and might make a pact with only one warlock. Warlocks who serve the same patron might view each other as allies, siblings, or rivals.
Archfey
Your patron is a lord or lady of the fey, a creature of legend who holds secrets that were forgotten before the mortal races were born. This being's motivations are often inscrutable, and sometimes whimsical, and might involve a striving for greater magical power or the settling of age-old grudges. Beings of this sort include the Prince of Frost; the Queen of Air and Darkness, ruler of the Gloaming Court; Titania of the Summer Court; her consort Oberon, the Green Lord; Hyrsam, the Prince of Fools; and ancient hags.

Being connected to such power can cause changes in your behavior and beliefs. You might find yourself driven to annihilate the undead, to defeat fiends, and to protect the innocent.

The Undying
Death holds no sway over your patron, who has unlocked the secrets of everlasting life, although such a prize—like all power—comes at a price. Once mortal, the Undying has seen mortal lifetimes pass like the seasons, like the flicker of endless days and nights. It has the secrets of the ages to share, secrets of life and death. Beings of this sort include Vecna, Lord of the Hand and the Eye; the dread Iuz; the lich-queen Vol; the Undying Court of Aerenal; Vlaakith, lich-queen of the githyanki; and the deathless wizard Fistandantalus.
In the Realms, Undying patrons include Larloch the Shadow King, legendary master of Warlock's Crypt, and Gilgeam, the God-King of Unther

3rd | blindness/deafness, silence |
5th | vampiric touch, speak with dead |
7th | death ward, shadow of moil |

Unearthed Bones
Starting at 1st level, your patron grants you the power to draw on the remains of the ancient dead to shred your foes. As a bonus action you can temporarily draw ancient bone fragments from the ground to swirl around you. The gyre of bones collapses within 1 minute or if it moves more than 60 feet from you. As apart of the initial bonus action, you can have the bone shards move up to 60 feet and make a melee spell attack against a creature within 5 feet, dealing 1d8 + your spellcasting ability modifier necrotic damage on a hit.
You can use this feature twice before taking a short or long rest.
Among the Dead
At 1st level, you learn the toll the dead cantrip, which counts as a warlock cantrip for you. You also have advantage on saving throws against any disease.
Additionally, undead have difficulty harming you. If an undead targets you directly with an attack or a harmful spell, that creature must make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC (an undead needn't make the save when it includes you in an area effect, such as the explosion of fireball). On a failed save, the creature must choose a new target or forfeit targeting someone instead of you, potentially wasting the attack or spell. On a successful save, the creature is immune to this effect for 24 hours. An undead is also immune to this effect for 24 hours if you target it with an attack or a harmful spell.
Phylactery Ring
Starting at 6th level, your patron grants you a magical ring that can serve to revive you from death. Whenever a creature within 60 feet of you is reduced to 0 hit points, you can use your reaction to temporarily tether its soul to your body. If you would be reduced to 0 hit points while you a have a soul tethered to you, the soul is bound to the ring, empowering it, before you fall unconscious. If you die while wearing the empowered ring, you are revived 24 hours later with 1 hit point, your body fully restored at the location of the ring. If you instead get up from unconsciousness, the soul is removed from the ring and re-tethers to your body.
If you ever lose the ring, you can request your patron to grant you a replacement during a long rest.
Aspect of Undeath
At 10th level, your patron gifts you with some aspects of undeath. You become immune to disease and the frightened condition. You also gain resistance to necrotic and poison damage.
In addition, you can hold your breath indefinitely, and you don't require food, water, or sleep, although you still require rest to reduce exhaustion and still benefit from finishing short and long rests. You age at a slower rate. For every 10 years that pass, your body ages only 1 year, and you are immune to being magically aged.
Right Hand of Death
Starting at 14th level, your patron bestows upon you the ability to channel the power of undeath to slay your enemies and bind their spirits to you. You can use your action to cast finger of death. After you cast the spell with this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.
The Warrior-Saint
You’ve made a pact with the Warrior-Saint, one of the great champions of the multiverse. This ancient being acts as an enforcer of the cosmic balance – law and chaos, good and evil. It is the agent of the forces of creation and destruction that act upon the world and is more akin to a supernatural phenomenon than a god or demon. The Warrior-Saint grants objects and boons of terrible power crafted during the creation, as well as the strength to enforce your own morality and philosophy in the eternal conflict that spans the planes. In exchange, it watches through the eyes of its servants and uses them as guardians of its treasures

The die roll result equals the sum of the two highest d12 rolls. You cannot critically hit when you do this.
Treasures of Past Ages
At 6th level, your Pact Boon is granted power from the Warrior-Saint. You gain one of the following benefits depending on your Pact Boon feature. This feature may be used twice, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.
- Pact of the Blade: Whenever you are targeted with a spell while wielding your Pact weapon, you can use your reaction to make a Charisma saving throw against the caster’s spell save DC. If you succeed, the caster must choose a different valid target or lose the spell. This does not protect you from spells that target an area, like fireball.
- Pact of the Chain: At the start of your turn or at the start of your familiar’s turn, you can use your reaction to magically teleport, switching places with your familiar or moving one of you to a location within 5 feet of the other.
- Pact of the Tome: If you are the target of an attack, you can use your reaction to cast a spell or cantrip with a range of “self” before the result of the attack is revealed. If you would no longer be a valid target for the attack, the attack is wasted.
Hands of the Saint
Starting at 10th level, two ethereal arms of the Warrior-Saint manifest from your back at your whim. These hands can perform somatic components for spells, but cannot wield weapons, equip shields, or grapple creatures. Additionally, you have resistance to damage from spells and magical effects.
Guardian of Balance
At 14th level, your patron accepts you as a disciple of the eternal law, and gifts you a treasure of its own creation. You gain one of the following benefits depending on your Pact Boon feature:
- Pact of the Blade: Whenever you cast a cantrip while wielding your Pact weapon, you can make a single attack with it as a bonus action.
- Pact of the Chain: Your familiar takes half as much damage from all sources. You can use your bonus action to enable your familiar to make an attack using its reaction, and if you also use your action, it can make two additional attacks as part of the same reaction.
- Pact of the Tome: When you finish a long rest, choose 3 spells of 3rd level or lower that you know. You can cast them as 3rd level spells without expending a spell slot. Once you cast three times using this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest.
