Creating a Warlock

To create a Warlock, consult the following lists, which provide Hit Points, proficiencies, and armor training. If you’re making a 1st-level character, also consult the “Step-by-Step Characters” section of the Player's Handbook. Should you require starting equipment, work with your DM to have equipment that is appropriate, and by refer to the Class as listed in the 2014 publication for a basic idea.

Then look at the Warlock table to see the class features you get at each level in this class. The descriptions of those features appear in the “Warlock Class Features” section.

Class Features

As a warlock, you gain the following class features.

Boon of the Amulet

You unlock the ability to store magical energy into enchanted stones, amulets, talismans, or any other sort of trinket. Now, you can channel this stored energy, amplifying your own magical capability. It takes a polymath to wield such diverse magic. You gain proficiency with one skill of your choosing.

You gain a magical amulet. While you have the amulet on you, you have 1 additional Spell Point to use between rests, and you can use the amulet as your spellcasting focus. And, when you roll damage for a warlock spell you cast using Spell Points, you can choose to reroll any 1 damage die, but must use the new roll.

If you lose the amulet, you can perform a 1-hour ceremony to receive a replacement from your patron. This ceremony can be performed during a short or long rest, and it destroys the previous amulet. The amulet turns to ash when you die.

Boon of the Chain

Devil worshipers, summoners, hags, witches, and many others once called upon the creatures of the other planes for aid. You've deduced the ritual needed to gain control of your own minion.

You gain command of a minion of your choice. Aberration (flumph or knot of tentacles), Celestial (owl, raven, or other bird), Dragon (pseudodragon or similar dragonet), Fey (pixie or sprite), Fiend (imp or quasit), or Undead (shadow or skull), or similar as approved by your DM. Your minion is friendly to you and your companions, and it obeys your commands. See its game statistics in the accompanying Warlock Minion stat block, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places.

In combat, the minion shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It can move and use its Reaction on its own. On its turn, the minion takes the Dodge action and uses its Move to avoid danger, unless you command it otherwise (no action required).

You summon your minion over the course of a short rest, and upon doing so can choose which creature type your minion takes on. Once summoned, it remains until it hits 0 hit points, or you use this feature again to alter your minion's form. The minion regain all lost hit points on a short or long rest.

As long you and your minion are within 5 miles of each other you can use a Magic Action to perceive through your minion’s senses until the end of your next turn. During this time you see what your minion sees and hear what it hears, blinding and deafening yourself in the process.

Boon of the Sword

The training and experiences of the warriors of old have encoded themselves in some way. You've decoded their secrets.

You gain proficiency with Martial Weapons, Medium Armor, and Shields.

You can bind yourself to one weapon by performing a special ritual while you hold the weapon. You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour. This weapon becomes your bound weapon. You can then dismiss the weapon, shunting it into an extradimensional space.

The weapon ceases to be bound to you 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. Your bound weapon disappears into extradimensional space if it is more than 5 feet away from you for 1 minute or more, or if you dismiss it (no action required).

Once you have bounded a weapon to yourself, you can’t be disarmed of that weapon unless you are incapacitated. You can summon that weapon as a Bonus Action on your turn, causing it to teleport instantly to your open hand. In addition, your bound weapon can be used as a spellcasting focus for your Warlock spells, and you can provide the somatic components for your warlock spells while wielding your bound weapon with one or both hands.

Additionally, when you hit a creature with an attack using your bound weapon, you can place a Hexblade's curse on the creature. The curse lasts for up to 1 minute, but ends early if you use this feature again to place a Hexblade's curse on a different creature. Whenever you hit the cursed creature with your bound weapon and deal damage to it, the creature takes an additional 1d6 necrotic or radiant damage, including on the attack that you curse it.

You can apply your Hexblade's curse a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier(minimum of once). Recharge: Short Rest

Boon of the Tome

The wizards and mages of the past guarded their secrets in cyphered journals, texts, and books. You've made sense of their ramblings and now keep this knowledge held close in a book, grimoire, or spellbook of your choosing. Some warlocks may call their grimoire the Book of Shadows.

You gain the Eldritch Blast cantrip, which doesn't count against your number of cantrips known. You use Intelligence as your spellcasting modifier for this spell. When you cast Eldritch Blast, add your Intelligence modifier to the damage of the first beam that hits each turn.

Additionally, choose one 1st-level spell that has the ritual tag from the following classes: bard, sorcerer, paladin, warlock, or wizard’s spell list. The spell appears in the book and doesn’t count against your number of spells known.

With your book in hand, you can cast the spells in your book as rituals. You can’t cast the spells except as rituals, unless you’ve learned them by some other means. You can also cast a warlock spell you know as a ritual if it has the ritual tag.

If you lose your book, you can perform a 1-hour ceremony to craft an exact replacement. This ceremony can be performed during a long rest, which destroys the previous book. The book turns to ash when you die.

You can add other ritual spells to your book. When you find such a spell that is from the available class listings above, you can add it to the book so long as you have spell slots that are equal to or less than the spell’s level, and if you can spare the time to decode and 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.

Otherworldly Entities

There is a surplus entities that currently inhabit the material plane and even more that once did. Warlocks thirst for power and knowledge, many devote their entire career to the study of a particular entity. These entities may or may not be gods, but almost godlike in their power. In your searches and explorations, you have uncovered parts these entity's power.

The Celestial

Your entity of study is a powerful being of the Upper Planes. You focus on an ancient empyrean, solar, ki-rin, unicorn, or other entity that resides in the planes of everlasting bliss. Your study of that being allows you to experience the barest touch of the holy light that illuminates the multiverse.

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. At times, your heart might also be filled with a longing for the celestial realm, and a desire to wander that paradise for the rest of your days. But you know that your mission is among mortals for now.

The Fiend

You have studied a fiend from the lower planes of existence, a being whose aims are evil, and how they operate and manipulate. Such beings desire the corruption or destruction of all things, ultimately including you. Fiends powerful enough to shape their realm and worth your study include demon lords such as Demogorgon, Orcus, Fraz’Urb-luu, and Baphomet; archdevils such as Asmodeus, Dispater, Mephistopheles, and Belial; pit fiends and balors that are especially mighty; and ultroloths and other lords of the yugoloths.

The Genie

Genies in-fight, grants wishes, take slaves, and do much more. You delve in their rich lore, their magic, and how they make deals with unsuspecting peoples. Such entities rule vast fiefs on the Elemental Planes and have great influence over lesser genies and elemental creatures. Noble genies are varied in their motivations, but most are arrogant and wield power that rivals that of lesser deities. Genies delight in turning the table on mortals who attempt to bind them into servitude, and mince their words into something they sought not.

Genie’s Vessel

3rd-level Genie feature

You build or graft a magical vessel that emulates a small measure of the genie’s power. The vessel is a Tiny object, and you can use it as a spellcasting focus for your warlock spells. You decide what the object is, though some are urns, oil lamps, rings, a stoppered bottle, or a hollowed statuette.

While you are touching the vessel, you can use it in the following ways:

• Bottled Respite. As a Magic Action, you can magically vanish and enter your vessel, which remains in the space you left. The interior of the vessel is an extradimensional space in the shape of a 20-foot-radius cylinder, 20 feet high, and resembles your vessel. The interior is appointed with cushions and low tables and is a comfortable temperature. While inside, you can hear the area around your vessel as if you were in its space. You can remain inside the vessel up to a number of hours equal to twice your proficiency bonus. You exit the vessel early if you use a Bonus Action to leave, if you die, or if the vessel is destroyed. When you exit the vessel, you appear in the unoccupied space closest to it. Any objects left in the vessel remain there until carried out, and if the vessel is destroyed, every object stored there harmlessly appears in the unoccupied spaces closest to the vessel’s former space. Usable Once. Recharge: Long Rest

• Genie’s Wrath. Once during each of your turns when you hit with an attack roll, you can deal extra damage to the target equal to your proficiency bonus. The type of this damage is determined by your genie kind: bludgeoning (dao), thunder (djinni), fire (efreeti), or cold (marid).

The vessel’s AC equals your spell save DC. Its hit points equal your warlock level plus your proficiency bonus, and it is immune to poison and psychic damage.

If the vessel is destroyed or you lose it, you can perform a 1-hour ceremony to fabricate a replacement. This ceremony can be performed during a long rest, and the previous vessel is destroyed if it still exists. The vessel vanishes in a flare of elemental power when you die.

Elemental Gift

6th-level Genie feature

You now have resistance to a damage type determined by your genie’s kind: bludgeoning (dao), thunder (djinni), fire (efreeti), or cold (marid).

In addition, as a Bonus Action, you can give yourself a flying speed of 30 feet that lasts for 10 minutes, during which you can hover.

Usable a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus. Recharge: Long Rest

Sanctuary Vessel

10th-level Genie feature

When you enter your Genie’s Vessel via the Bottled Respite feature, you can now choose up to five willing creatures that you can see within 30 feet of you, and the chosen creatures are drawn into the vessel with you.

As a Bonus Action, you can eject any number of creatures from the vessel, and everyone is ejected if you leave or die or if the vessel is destroyed. In addition, anyone (including you) who remains within the vessel for at least 10 minutes gains the benefit of finishing a short rest, and anyone can add your proficiency bonus to the number of hit points they regain if they spend any Hit Dice as part of a short rest there.

Limited Wish

14th-level Genie feature
Emulating the genies, you can grant your own small wish.

As an Action, you can speak your desire to your Genie’s Vessel, requesting the effect of one spell that is 6th level or lower and has a casting time of 1 action. The spell can be from any class’s spell list, and you don’t need to meet the requirements in that spell, including costly components; the spell simply takes effect as part of this action.

Usable once. Recharge: After 1d4 Long Rests

The Great Old One

The Great Old One is a mysterious entity whose nature is utterly foreign to the fabric of reality. It might come from the Far Realm, the space beyond reality, or it could be one of the elder gods known only in legends. Its motives are incomprehensible to mortals, and its knowledge so immense and ancient that even the greatest libraries pale in comparison to the vast secrets it holds. The Great Old One might be unaware of your existence or entirely indifferent to you, but the secrets you have learned allow you to draw your magic from it.

Entities of this type include Ghaunadar, called That Which Lurks; Tharizdun, the Chained God; Dendar, the Night Serpent; Zargon, the Returner; Great Cthulhu; and other unfathomable beings.

The Revenant

Revenants are mysterious entities from the Shadowfell; a warrior bound to life with uncompleted vengeance. These warriors come and gone have found themselves clinging to this world, their purpose not yet complete. Some revenants find themselves in the service of the Raven Queen, whether by virtue or enslavement. The Raven Queen is known to have forged the first sentient weapons - weapons bestowed with life, carved from the stuff of shadow. The most foul of sentient weapons bind themselves to the warriors that wields them, enslaving them to its creator. Many sages speculate that she uses these sentient weapons and her thralls to manipulate events on the Material Plane to her inscrutable ends.

Curse of Ire

3rd-level Revenant feature
Bound with baleful conviction, you gain the dark power power to hasten another's demise.

When you hit a creature with an attack you can choose to curse the target for 1 minute. The curse ends early if the target dies, you die, or you are incapacitated. Until the curse ends, you gain the following benefits:

• You gain a bonus to damage rolls against the cursed target. The bonus equals your proficiency bonus.
• Any attack roll you make against the cursed target is a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20 on the d20.
• If the cursed target dies, you regain hit points equal to your Warlock level + your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1 hit point).

Usable Once. Recharge: Short Rest

Marrowrend

6th-level Revenant feature
Once, on each of your turns when you hit with an attack, you can expend 1 Spell Point to deal an additional 1d8 necrotic or radiant damage and add one of the following effects to the attack. For each Spell Point beyond the 1st (limited by your Max Spell Level), this feature deals an additional 1d8 damage.

Dark Command. The target has disadvantage on all attack rolls against targets other than you until the end of your next turn. If it attacks another creature during this time, that creature has resistance to the damage.

Unholy Stagger. The target is staggered. It is unable to take Reactions until the start of its next turn.

Obliterate. The target is wrapped in necrotic energy until the start of your next turn. Within that time, each time they regain hit points, they regain no hit points and take 1d8 necrotic damage instead.

Eldritch Smite. If the target is Large or smaller, they must make a Strength saving throw. On a failure, they are pushed up to 15 feet away from you, knocked prone, or both.

Grasp of Hadar

6th-level Revenant feature
As a Bonus Action you can choose one Large or smaller creature within 30 feet of you that you can see or hear. That creature must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or be teleported to an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you. They can willingly fail this save.

Usable Once. Recharge: Short Rest

Regeneration

10th-level Revenant feature
Regeneration from beyond the grave is easy for those who have already died. You merely channel that power.

You gain one additional hit die (this does not increase your maximum hit points). At the start of each of your turns, if you have less than 1/2 your hit point maximum and at least 1 hit point you can expend a hit die to regain hit points equal to the roll + your Constitution modifier + 1/2 your warlock level. If you had taken fire or radiant damage within the last round, you cannot use this feature to regenerate hit points.

Vengeful Glare

14th-level Revenant feature
You can spread your Curse of Ire from a slain creature to another creature.

When the creature cursed by your Curse of Ire dies, you can apply the curse to a different creature you can see within 30 feet of you, provided you aren’t incapacitated. When you apply the curse in this way, you don’t regain hit points from the death of the previously cursed creature.

The Undead

You’ve made a pact to seek out and understand how a deathless being, a creature that defies the cycle and life and death, forsaking its mortal shell so it might eternally pursue its unfathomable ambitions. For such beings, time and morality are fleeting things, the concerns of those for whom grains of sand still rush through life’s hourglass. Having once been mortal themselves, these ancient undead know firsthand the paths of ambition and the routes past the doors of death. They eagerly share this profane knowledge, along with other secrets, with those who work their will among the living.

Beings of this type include the demilich Acererak, the vampire tyrant Kas the Bloody-Handed, the githyanki lich-queen Vlaakith, the dracolich Dragotha, the undead pharaoh Ankhtepot, and the elusive Darklord, Azalin Rex.

Expanded Spell List

You always know the following spells, so long as the spell is of a spell level you can cast.

Form of Dread

3rd-level Undead feature
You can manifest the dread of the Undead entity you study.

As a Bonus Action, you transform for 1 minute. You gain the following benefits while transformed:

• You gain temporary hit points equal to 1d10 + your warlock level.
• Once during each of your turns, when you hit a creature with an attack roll, you can force it to make a Wisdom saving throw, and if the saving throw fails, the target is frightened of you until the end of your next turn.
• You are immune to the frightened condition.

You can transform a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

The appearance of your Form of Dread reflects some aspect of the Undead entity you've chosen. For example, your form could be a shroud of shadows forming the crown and robes of a lich, or your body might glow with glyphs from ancient funerary rites and be surrounded by desert winds, suggesting a mummy.

Grave Touched

6th-level Undead feature
The powers of the Undead have a profound effect on your body and magic.

You don’t need to eat, drink, or breathe. In addition, once during each of your turns, when you hit a creature with an attack roll and roll damage against the creature, you can replace the damage type with necrotic damage. While you are using your Form of Dread, you can roll one additional damage die when determining the necrotic damage the target takes.

Necrotic Husk

10th-level Undead feature
Your connection to undeath and necrotic energy now saturates your body.

You have resistance to necrotic damage.

If you are transformed using your Form of Dread, you instead become immune to necrotic damage. In addition, when you would be reduced to 0 hit points, you can use your Reaction to drop to 1 hit point instead and cause your body to erupt with deathly energy. Each creature of your choice that is within 30 feet of you takes necrotic damage equal to 2d10 + your warlock level. You then gain 1 level of exhaustion. Once you use this Reaction, you can’t do so again until you finish 1d4 long rests.

Spirit Projection

14th-level Undead feature
Your spirit can become untethered from your physical form.

As an Action, you can project your spirit from your body. The body you leave behind is unconscious and in a state of suspended animation.

Your spirit resembles your mortal form in almost every way, replicating your game statistics but not your possessions. Any damage or other effects that apply to your spirit or physical body affects the other. Your spirit can remain outside your body for up to 1 hour or until your concentration is broken (as if concentrating on a spell). When your projection ends, your spirit returns to your body or your body magically teleports to your spirit’s space (your choice).

While projecting your spirit, you gain the following benefits:

• Your spirit and body gain resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.
• When you cast a spell of the conjuration or necromancy school, the spell doesn’t require verbal or somatic components or material components that lack a gold cost.
• You have a flying speed equal to your walking speed and can hover. You can move through creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain, but you take 1d10 force damage if you end your turn inside a creature or an object.
• While you are using your Form of Dread, once during each of your turns when you deal necrotic damage to a creature, you regain hit points equal to half the amount of necrotic damage dealt.

Usable once. Recharge: Long Rest

The Valkyrie

You have studied a Valkyrie, living or dead. Valkyries are famed warriors, defenders of the land, who fight to prevent the end of days. Only a few, the bravest, the strongest are granted to power of the eternals. Valkyries carry with them the goals of strengthening themselves in life, so that in death they've made the preparations needed to obtain their rightful place in the hall of eternals.
