Warlock (2024 Edition)

Warlocks quest for knowledge that lies hidden in the fabric of the multiverse. They often begin their search for magical power by delving into tomes of forbidden lore, dabbling in invocations meant to attract the power of extraplanar beings, or seeking places of power where the influence of these beings can be felt. In no time, each Warlock is drawn into a binding pact with a powerful patron. Drawing on the ancient knowledge of beings such as angels, archfey, demons, devils, hags, and alien entities of the Far Realm, Warlocks piece together arcane secrets to bolster their own power.   Warlock DnD 2024Warlocks view their patrons as resources, as means to the end of achieving magical power. Some Warlocks respect, revere, or even love their patrons; some serve their patrons grudgingly; and some seek to undermine their patrons even as they wield the power their patrons have given them.   Once a pact is made, a Warlock’s thirst for knowledge and power can’t be slaked with mere study. Most Warlocks spend their days pursuing greater power and deeper knowledge, which typically means some kind of adventure.

Pact Magic

Through occult ceremony, you have formed a pact with a mysterious entity to gain magical powers. The entity is a voice in the shadows—its identity unclear—but its boon to you is concrete: the ability to cast spells. See the Player’s Handbook for the rules on spellcasting. The information below details how you use those rules with Warlock spells.   Cantrips. You know two Warlock cantrips of your choice. Eldritch Blast and Prestidigitation are recommended. Whenever you gain a Warlock level, you can replace one of your cantrips from this feature with another Warlock cantrip of your choice.   When you reach Warlock levels 4 and 10, you learn another Warlock cantrip of your choice, as shown in the Cantrips column of the Warlock Features table.   Spell Slots. The Warlock Features table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your Warlock spells of levels 1–5. The table also shows the level of those slots, all of which are the same level. You regain all expended Pact Magic spell slots when you finish a Short or Long Rest.   For example, when you’re a level 5 Warlock, you have two level 3 spell slots. To cast the level 1 spell Witch Bolt, you must spend one of those slots, and you cast it as a level 3 spell.   Prepared Spells of Level 1+. You prepare the list of level 1+ spells are available for you to cast with this feature. To start, choose two level 1 Warlock spells. Charm Person and Hex are recommended.   The number of spells on your list increases as you gain Warlock levels, as shown in the Prepared Spells column of the Warlock Features table. Whenever that number increases, choose additional Warlock spells list until the number of spells on your list matches the number on the table. The chosen spells must be of a level no higher than what’s shown in the table’s Slot Level column for your level. When you reach level 6, for example, you learn a new Warlock spell, which can be of level 1–3.   If another Warlock feature gives spells that you always have prepared, those spells don’t count against the number of spells on the list you prepare with this feature, but those spells otherwise count as Warlock spells for you.   Changing Your Prepared Spells. Whenever you gain a Warlock level, you can replace one spell on your list with another Warlock spell of an eligible level.   Spellcasting Ability. Charisma is the spellcasting ability for your Warlock spells.   Spellcasting Focus. You can use an Arcane Focus as a Spellcasting Focus for your Warlock spells.

Level 6: Dark One's Own Luck

You can call on your fiendish patron to alter fate in your favor. When you make an ability check or a saving throw, you can use this feature to add 1d10 to your roll. You can do so after seeing the roll but before any of the roll’s effects occur.   You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of once), but you can use it no more than once per roll. You regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.  

Level 10: Fiendish Resilience

Choose one damage type, other than Force, whenever you finish a Short or Long Rest. You have Resistance to that damage type until you choose a different one with this feature.  

Level 14: Hurl Through Hell

Once per turn when you hit a creature with an attack roll, you can try to instantly transport the target through the Lower Planes. The target must succeed on a Charisma saving throw against your spell save DC, or the target disappears and hurtles through a nightmare landscape. The target takes 8d10 Psychic damage if it isn’t a Fiend, and it has the Incapacitated condition until the end of your next turn, when it returns to the space it previously occupied or the nearest unoccupied space.   Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a Long Rest unless you expend a Pact Magic spell slot (no action required) to restore your use of it.
 
Great Old One Patron

Great Old One Patron

This is the Great Old One Patron according to the information WotC released so far, not yet the official 2024 version. Your pact is rooted in magic that is utterly foreign to the fabric of reality. When you choose this subclass, you might bind yourself to an ineffable being from the Far Realm or an elder god known only in legend—a being such as Ghaunadar, called That Which Lurks; Tharizdun, the Chained God; Dendar, the Night Serpent; Zargon, the Returner; Great Cthulhu; or some other unfathomable and uncaring being. Or you might rely on eldritch lore invoking the names of several such entities, without yoking yourself to one in particular. The motives of these beings are incomprehensible to mortals, and their knowledge is so immense and ancient that even the greatest libraries pale in comparison to the vast secrets they hold. The Great Old One might be indifferent to your existence, but the secrets you have learned nevertheless allow you to draw your magic from it.  

Level 3: Awakened Mind

You can form a telepathic connection between your mind and the mind of another. As a Bonus Action, choose one creature you can see within 30 feet of yourself and create a telepathic bond. You and the chosen creature can speak telepathically with each other while the two of you are within a number of miles of each other equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1 mile). To understand each other, you each must speak mentally in a language the other knows.   The telepathic connection lasts for a number of minutes equal to your Warlock level. It ends early if you have the Incapacitated condition or die or if you use this feature to form a connection with a different creature.  

Level 3: Great Old One Spells

The magic of your otherworldly patron ensures you always have certain spells ready; when you reach a Warlock level specified in the Great Old One Spells table, you thereafter always have the listed spells prepared.  

Great Old One Spells

  • Warlock Level - Spells
  • 3 - Detect Thoughts, Dissonant Whispers, Phantasmal Force, Tasha's Hideous Laughter
  • 5 - Clairvoyance, Hunger of Hadar
  • 7 - Confusion, Summon Aberration
  • 9 - Modify Memory, Telekinesis
 

Level 3: Psychic Spells

When you cast a Warlock spell that deals damage, you can change its damage type to Psychic. In addition, when you cast a Warlock spell that is an Enchantment or Illusion, you can do so without verbal or somatic components.  

Level 6: Clairvoyant Combatant

You learn to read the attacks of minds you touch. When you form a telepathic bond with a creature using your Awakened Mind, you can force that creature to make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failed save, the creature has Disadvantage on attack rolls against you, and you have Advantage on attack rolls against that creature for the duration of the bond.   Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a Short Rest or Long Rest. You can also restore your use of it by expending a spell slot of level 2 or higher (no action required).  

Level 10: Eldritch Hex

Your alien patron grants you a powerful curse. You always have the Hex spell prepared. When you cast Hex and choose an ability, the target also has Disadvantage on saving throws of the chosen ability for the duration of the spell.  

Level 10: Thought Shield

Your thoughts can’t be read by telepathy or other means unless you allow it. You also have Resistance to Psychic damage, and whenever a creature deals Psychic damage to you, that creature takes the same amount of damage that you do.  

Level 14: Create Thrall

Your patron grants you the ability to manifest a part of itself. You always have the Summon Aberration spell prepared. When you cast the spell, you can modify it so that it doesn’t require Concentration. If you do so, the spell’s duration becomes 1 minute for that casting and when summoned, the Aberration has a number of Temporary Hit Points equal to your Warlock level plus your Charisma modifier.   In addition, the first time each turn the Aberration hits a creature under the effect of your Hex, the Aberration deals extra Psychic damage to the target equal to the bonus damage of that spell.
 
Custom Fiend Of Destruction Patron

Destruction Patron (Fiend Variant)

Your pact draws on the forces of utter destruction from the Lower Planes. Your patron could be a being like the Cataclysm, the Oblivion Lord, or a mighty creature that seeks the annihilation of all things. Their influence manifests through destructive energy and the unraveling of the material plane, aiming to reduce creation to nothingness. Your path is shaped by how you wield this destructive power.  

Level 3: Dark One's Blessing

When you reduce an enemy to 0 Hit Points, you gain Temporary Hit Points equal to your Charisma modifier plus your Warlock level (minimum of 1 Temporary Hit Point). You also gain this benefit if someone else reduces an enemy within 10 feet of you to 0 Hit Points.  

Level 3: Destruction Spells

The magic of your patron ensures you always have certain spells ready, focused on devastation and entropy.  

Destruction Spells Table:

  • Warlock Level - Spells
  • 3 - Chaos Bolt, Dark Orb, Hellish Rebuke, Inflict Wounds
  • 5 - Dispel Magic, Erupting Earth
  • 7 - Gravity Sinkhole, Evard's Black Tentacles
  • 9 - Destructive Wave, Flame Strike
 

Level 6: Dark One's Own Luck

You can call on your destructive patron to alter fate in your favor. When you make an ability check or a saving throw, you can use this feature to add 1d10 to your roll. You can do so after seeing the roll but before any of the roll’s effects occur.   You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of once), but you can use it no more than once per roll. You regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.  

Level 10: Ruinous Resilience

Choose one damage type, other than Force, whenever you finish a Short or Long Rest. You have Resistance to that damage type until you choose a different one with this feature. In addition, when you take damage from the chosen type, you can use your reaction to send a wave of destructive energy back at your attacker, dealing psychic damage equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1) to the attacker.  

Level 14: Banish to the Void

Once per turn when you hit a creature with an attack roll, you can attempt to banish the target to a plane of utter destruction. The target must succeed on a Charisma saving throw against your spell save DC or be banished to a realm of endless disintegration. The target takes 8d10 necrotic damage if it isn’t a Fiend and is Incapacitated until the end of your next turn, when it reappears in the space it previously occupied or the nearest unoccupied space.   Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a Long Rest unless you expend a Pact Magic spell slot to restore your use of it.  

Level 15: Fiendish Ascension

At 15th level, your patron takes full possession of your body and mind, fully transforming you into a fiendish entity. Your race permanently changes to Fiend, and the following effects occur:  
  • Fiendish Form: You gain resistance to fire and necrotic damage, and you no longer age. If you were already immortal, you become immune to aging effects altogether.
  • Corruption of Mind: Your thoughts are now inseparable from your patron's will, and you have disadvantage on Wisdom saving throws to resist charm or fear effects from other fiends.
  • Infernal Command: You can speak and understand all infernal and abyssal languages, and you can communicate telepathically with any creature within 60 feet that understands a language.
  • Fiendish Appearance: Your appearance reflects the nature of your patron, possibly manifesting horns, wings, glowing eyes, or skin like molten rock or shadowed void, at the DM’s discretion. This may impact how you interact with others in non-fiendish societies.
  or   You become your patron.....
