Class Information

Warlock's default armour

Pact Magic

  • Spellcasting Ability: Charisma Charisma
  • Known Spells: Warlock Spells are Always Prepared. In exchange, Warlocks know fewer Spells at low levels.
  • Pact Magic: Warlock spell slots (also known as "pact slots") are not like those of other spellcasters.
    • Warlock spell slots are equal to the highest level of Spells the Warlock has access to. Casting a lower level Spell will always "upcast" it to the highest level available.
    • Warlocks have a very limited number of spell slots, but also regain those slots by taking a Short Rest or Long Rest.
    • As a result, Warlocks can cast fewer Spells per battle than other spellcasters, but also more high level Spells per day.
