Bound by a pact to an all-powerful patron, Warlocks trade their loyalty for supernatural abilities and unique magic.

Warlock is a character Class in Baldur's Gate 3. Warlocks channel their patron's pact magic to fight enemies and aid allies in combat. Warlocks use Charisma as their primary ability score.

The Warlock Subclasses are: The Fiend Subclass Icon.pngThe Fiend, The Great Old One Subclass Icon.pngThe Great Old One, The Archfey Subclass Icon.pngThe Archfey

Class Information

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.
