Warlock Pacts

From DDO Compendium

Overview[edit]

Every Warlock chooses one of the six Pacts at character creation: Fey, Fiend, Great Old One, Celestial, The Abyss or The Carceri Storm. This defines the source of the Warlock's power and determines several variables for the Warlock's development. The choice is permanent.

The Dark Bargainer Iconic is automatically granted the pact The Dark Powers.

Pacts[edit]

Each of the pacts available for warlocks have different basic requirements and benefits. These are listed below:

Pact Alignment Pact Damage Type Damage Save Save Bonus
Fey Any alignment Sonic Reflex Reflex
Fiend Non-Good alignments Fire Fortitude Fortitude
