Warlock Pacts
Overview[edit]
Every Warlock chooses one of the three Pacts at character creation: Fey, Fiend, or Great Old One. This defines the source of the Warlock's power and determines several variables for the Warlock's development. The choice is permanent.
Pacts[edit]
Each of the pacts available for warlocks have different basic requirements and benefits. These are listed below:
Pact | Alignment | Pact Damage Type | Save Bonus |
Fey | Any alignment | Sonic | Reflex |
Fiend | Non-Good alignments | Fire | Fortitude |
Great Old One | Non-Lawful alignments | Acid | Will |
Celestial | Good | Electric | Will |
The Abyss | Non-Good alignments | Negative | Fortitude |
Carceri Storm | Any alignment | Cold | Reflex |
Pact Damage[edit]
As shown above, each pact gets specific types of damage per pact. That starts +1d4 extra damage to your Eldritch Blast based on your pact; this will increase by +1d4 every even Warlock levels, for a total of 10d4 at level 20.
Elemetal Resistance[edit]
Warlocks gain bonuses to elemental resistance granted at class level 10 based on your pact.
