Overview
Warlocks make pacts with otherworldly begins to gain power and might. This relationship between warlock and patron is somewhat like that of a cleric and deity, but beings that serve as patrons for warlocks are not gods.
Warlocks summon powerful energies, attacking enemies with Eldritch Blast.
Warlocks can cast spells through their connection with their patron. They can only perform a small number of spells in this way, but that's supported by the ability to endless inflict magical damage with Eldritch Blasts.
Warlocks cannot easily switch spells at taverns or rest shrines. They are able to switch spells but to do so they must undergo a special ritual that can only be done once every few days with the help of a Warlock trainer.

Spells
- See Also: Warlock Spells
- A warlock casts warlock spells, which are drawn from the Warlock spell list.
- A Warlock must choose and prepare his spells in advance.
- To prepare or cast a spell, a warlock must have a Charisma score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a warlock's spell is 10 + the spell level + the warlock's Charisma modifier.
- Like other spellcasters, a warlock can prepare only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day.
- The Arcane Spell Failure from light armor (but not shields) is ignored by Warlocks when casting Warlock spells. The Enlightened Spirit Tier IV enhancement extends this benefit to medium armor.
Notes
Selecting Lawful and/or Good for alignment will restrict the pacts that you can choose while leveling.
