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.

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.

Cantrips

You know two cantrips of your choice 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.

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.

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.

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.

• Magical Origin: This weapon counts as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

• Ephemeral: This weapon disappears if you use this feature again, if you dismiss the weapon (no action required), or if you die.

• Greater Pact Weapon: Starting at 5th-level, you can attack with your pact weapon twice — instead of once — whenever you take the Attack action on your turn

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.

Additionally, any weapon you summon with your Pact of the Blade feature gains a +1 bonus to its attack and damage rolls, unless it is a magic weapon that already has a bonus to those rolls.

Chained Familiar

You gain a special trinket from your patron which allows you to summon a familiar and bind it to your will.

Chained Companion

Starting at 3rd level, you learn to summon a servant of your patron, a being known as a Chained Companion. Your familiar gained from find familiar is replaced by this Companion.

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.

Book of Erudition

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

Adding Rituals: When you find a ritual spell, you can add it to the book if the spell's level is equal to or less than half your warlock level (rounded up).

For each level of the spell, you must spend 2 hours and 50 gp for the rare inks needed to inscribe it.

Eldritch Pages

Beginning at 3rd level, add two additional cantrips and one additional 1st-level spell that has the ritual tag to your Book of Erudition. These spells can be from any class spell list (and needn't be from the same list).

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.

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.

While the spell is inscribed, you cannot cast the inscribed 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.

Once the creature successfully casts the spell, or after 1 week, the inscription vanishes. You can maintain a number of inscriptions equal to your Spellcasting Ability modifier (minimum 1) at a time. Inscribing another beyond this limit causes an inscription of your choosing to vanish.

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.

Warrior-Saint Patron Spells

Blind Justiciar

At 1st level, your connection to the Warrior-Saint has granted you the ability to see through the imbalance of both order and chaos. Whenever you would normally make an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw with advantage, you can choose to twist the scales of reality. Roll three d12’s. 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.
