Warlock Pacts
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.
