Cantrips

You know two cantrips of your choice from the warlock spell list. You learn additional warlock cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Warlock table.

Spell Slots

The Warlock table shows how many spell slots you have. The table also shows what the level of those slots is; all of your spell slots are the same level. To cast one of your warlock spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a spell slot. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a short or long rest.

For example, when you are 5th level, you have two 3rd-level spell slots. To cast the 1st-level spell thunderwave, you must spend one of those slots, and you cast it as a 3rd-level spell.

Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher

At 1st level, you know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the warlock spell list.

The Spells Known column of the Warlock table shows when you learn more warlock spells of your choice of 1st level and higher. A spell you choose must be of a level no higher than what's shown in the table's Slot Level column for your level. When you reach 6th level, for example, you learn a new warlock spell, which can be 1st, 2nd, or 3rd level.

Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the warlock spells you know and replace it with another spell from the warlock spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

Spellcasting Ability

Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your warlock spells, so you use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a warlock spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Pact Weapon

At 1st level, you can use your action to create a pact weapon in your empty hand. You can choose the form that this melee weapon takes each time you create it. You are proficient with it while you wield it. You can use the weapon you summon with this feature as a spellcasting focus for your warlock spells.

You can transform one magic weapon into your pact weapon by performing a special ritual while you hold the weapon. You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a short rest. You can then dismiss the weapon, shunting it into an extradimensional space, and it appears whenever you create your pact weapon thereafter. You can't affect an artifact or a sentient weapon in this way. The weapon ceases being your pact weapon if you die, if you perform the 1-hour ritual on a different weapon, or if you use a 1-hour ritual to break your bond to it. The weapon appears at your feet if it is in the extradimensional space when the bond breaks.

Your pact weapon disappears if it is more than 5 feet away from you for 1 minute or more. It also disappears if you use this feature again, if you dismiss the weapon (no action required), or if you die.

Eldritch Warrior

At 3rd level, you gain proficiency with medium armour and shields.

When attacking with your pact weapon you can use your Charisma modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity, for the attack and damage rolls as long as it lacks the two-handed property.

Thirsting Strike

At 5th level, you can attack with your pact weapon twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

Improved Pact Weapon

Also at 5th level, the weapon gains a +1 bonus to its attack and damage rolls, unless it is a magic weapon that already has a bonus to those rolls. This bonus increases to a +2 at 9th level, and a +3 at 18th level.

Your pact weapon counts as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

Weapon Modification

At 9th level, your pact weapon gains one of the following features. Some features are restricted to certain weapon types. You may change which feature your pact weapon benefits from by performing a 24 hour ritual with your pact weapon.

Changing. As long as you are wielding it, you can change your pact weapon into a different type of weapon as a bonus action. This feature cannot affect legendary or sentient weapons.

Luminous. As a bonus action, you cause your weapon to shed bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light for an additional 20 feet. The light can be colored as you like. This effect ends when you dismiss your weapon, or if you end it as a bonus action.

Ominous. Your weapon gives off an unsettling aura. You have advantage on Charisma (Intimidation) checks made while wielding it.

Returning. (thrown weapons) After your weapon hits or misses a target, it magically teleports, returning to either your free hand or its sheath.

Siege. (heavy weapons and warhammers) Your pact weapon deals double damage against objects and structures.

Warning. While the weapon is on your person, you can’t be surprised, except when incapacitated by something other than nonmagical sleep. The weapon magically awakens you if you are sleeping naturally when combat begins.

Overwhelming Assault

At 18th level, as an action, you can make six attacks with your pact weapon against a single target. You make a separate attack roll for each attack.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Book of Erudition

At 1st level, you receive a spellbook called a Book of Erudition from your patron. When you gain this feature, choose a cantrip from any class's spell list. While the book is on your person, you can cast that cantrip at will. This doesn't count against your number of cantrips known. If the cantrip doesn't appear on the warlock spell list, it is nonetheless a warlock spell for you.

If you lose your Book of Erudition, you can perform a 1-hour ceremony to receive a replacement from your patron. This ceremony can be performed during a short or long rest, and it destroys the previous book. The book turns to ash when you die.

You choose two additional cantrips at 3rd level.

Highest Knowledge

At 3rd level, you draw on your patron's knowledge to supplement your own. You may use your Charisma modifier, rather than your Intelligence modifier, when making an Intelligence check with a skill that you are proficient in.

Sacrificial Rite

Starting at 5th level, your patron bestows upon you the key to unlock superior magical prowess at the cost of your own vitality.

You can perform an one hour ritual, which can be done over a short rest, to gain an additional warlock spell slot. When you use this feature, your maximum hit points are reduced by an amount equal to twice the level of the spell slot. The spell slot granted by this feature may only be used once, you do not regain it after a short rest.

If it's not used, the spell slot is lost after a long rest. Your maximum hit points are restored after a long rest. You may use this feature once per long rest.

Gift of Additional Hexes

At 9th level, choose a 1st level warlock spell you know. You may cast that spell once per short rest as a 1st level spell without expending a spell slot.

The Forbidden Arcanum

At 18th level, choose one spell from any spell list of 6th,
7th, 8th, or 9th level. The chosen spell counts as a Warlock spell for you. You may cast that spell at it's lowest level by expending the use of your Mystic Arcanum of the same level.

Pact Familiar

At 1st level, you learn the find familiar spell and can cast it as a ritual. The spell doesn't count against your number of spells known. The familiar you summon has the statistics of the form you choose for it, but its creature type and alignment are determined by your patron.

Familiar's True Shape

At 3rd level, when you cast the find familiar spell, you can choose whether to change your familiar as usual or change it into its chain form. You determine what your familiar looks like in its chain form the first time you change it into that form. Regardless of its appearance, the chain form uses the statistics detailed in the Chain Familiar stat block.

While in its chain form, your familiar has abilities and game statistics determined in part by your level. Your familiar uses your proficiency bonus rather than its own. In addition to the areas where it normally uses its proficiency bonus, your familiar also adds its proficiency bonus to its AC and to its damage rolls.

You can use your action to command your familiar to take the Attack action.

In addition to the features detailed in the Chain Familiar block, your familiar also has the following features depending on your patron:

Shapechanger. Choose two CR 0 beasts, these become your familiar's beast forms. Your familiar can use its action to Polymorph into one of these beast forms, or back into its true form. Its statistics are the same in each form, except for changes to speed. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn't transformed.

Actions

Invisibility. Your familiar magically turns Invisible until it attacks, or until its Concentration ends (as if concentrating on a spell). Any equipment your familiar is wearing or carries is Invisible with it.

Expanded Spell List

The Archfey lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you.

Fey Presence

Starting at 1st level, as an action, you can cause each creature in a 10-foot cube originating from you to make a Wisdom saving throw against your warlock spell save DC. The creatures that fail their saving throw are all charmed or frightened by you (your choice) until the end of your next turn.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Misty Escape

Starting at 6th level, when you take damage, you can use your reaction to turn invisible and teleport up to 60 feet to an unoccupied space you can see. You remain invisible until the start of your next turn or until you attack or cast a spell.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Beguiling Defenses

Beginning at 10th level, you are immune to being charmed, and when another creature attempts to charm you, you can use your reaction to attempt to turn the charm back on that creature. The creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your warlock spell save DC or be charmed by you for 1 minute or until the creature takes any damage.

Dark Delirium

Starting at 14th level, as an action, choose a creature that you can see within 60 feet of you. It must make a Wisdom saving throw against your warlock spell save DC. On a failed save, it is charmed or frightened by you (your choice) for 1 minute or until your concentration is broken (as if you are concentrating on a spell). This effect ends early if the creature takes any damage.

Until this illusion ends, the creature thinks it is lost in a misty realm, the appearance of which you choose. The creature can see and hear only itself, you, and the illusion.

You must finish a short or long rest before you can use this feature again.

Expanded Spell List

The Fiend lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you.

Dark One's Blessing

Starting at 1st level, when you reduce a hostile creature to 0 hit points, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Charisma modifier + your warlock level (minimum of 1).

Dark One's Own Luck

Starting at 6th level, you can call on your patron to alter fate in your favor. When you make an ability check or a saving throw, you can use this feature to add a d10 to your roll. You can do so after seeing the initial roll but before any of the roll's effects occur.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Expanded Spell List

The Great Old One lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you.

Awakened Mind

Starting at 1st level, your alien knowledge gives you the ability to touch the minds of other creatures. You can communicate telepathically with any creature you can see within 30 feet of you. You don't need to share a language with the creature for it to understand your telepathic utterances, but the creature must be able to understand at least one language.

Entropic Ward

At 6th level, you learn to magically ward yourself against attack and to turn an enemy's failed strike into good luck for yourself. When a creature makes an attack roll against you, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on that roll. If the attack misses you, your next attack roll against the creature has advantage if you make it before the end of your next turn.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Thought Shield

Starting at 10th level, 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.

Create Thrall

At 14th level, you gain the ability to infect a humanoid's mind with the alien magic of your patron. You can use your action to touch an incapacitated humanoid. That creature is then charmed by you until a Remove Curse spell is cast on it, the charmed condition is removed from it, or you use this feature again.

You can communicate telepathically with the charmed creature as long as the two of you are on the same plane of existence.

Expanded Spell List

The Celestial lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you.

Expanded Spell List

Among the Dead

Starting at 1st level, you learn the spare the dying cantrip, which counts as a warlock cantrip for you. You also have advantage on saving throws against diseases.

Additionally, if an undead creature targets you with an attack or a harmful spell, that creature must first make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failed save, the creature must choose a new target or lose the attack or spell. On a successful save, the creature is immune to this effect for 24 hours. An undead creature is also immune to this effect for 24 hours after you target it with an attack or a harmful spell. This feature doesn't protect you from area effects.

Defy Death

Starting at 6th level, you can regain hit points equal to 1d8 + your Constitution modifier (minimum of 1 hit point) when you succeed on a death saving throw or when you stabilize a creature with spare the dying.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Undying Nature

Beginning at 10th level, you are immune to disease, poison damage, and the poisoned condition.

You can hold your breath indefinitely and you don't require food, water, or sleep. However, you suffer exhaustion if you do not rest and benefit from finishing short and long rests as usual.

In addition, you age at a slower rate. For every 10 years that pass, your body ages only 1 year, and you are immune to being magically aged.

Indestructible Life

When you reach 14th level, severed body parts of yours regrow over the course of a day and physical impairments (such as nonmagical blindness) are healed in the same amount of time.

If you have half of your hit points or less at the start of your turn, you regain hit points equal to twice your Constitution modifier unless you have taken radiant damage since your last turn.

You cannot benefit from this feature if you are unconscious, or dead.

Expanded Spell List

The Cursed Artifact lets you choose from an expanded list of spells when you learn a warlock spell. This list is partially determined by your Pact Boon. The following spells are added to the warlock spell list for you.

The Artifacts' Curse

Starting at 1st level, you gain the ability to place a baleful curse on someone. As a bonus action, choose one creature you can see within 30 feet of you. The target is cursed for 1 minute. The curse ends early if the target dies, you die, or you are incapacitated. Until the curse ends, you gain the following benefits:

• You gain a bonus to damage rolls against the cursed target. The bonus equals your proficiency bonus.

• Any attack roll you make against the cursed target is a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20 on the d20.

• If the cursed target dies, you regain hit points equal to your warlock level + your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1 hit point).

You can’t use this feature again until you finish a short or long rest.

Accursed Specter

Starting at 6th level, you can curse the soul of a person you slay, temporarily binding it in your service. When you slay a humanoid, you can cause its spirit to rise from its corpse as a specter. When the specter appears, it gains temporary hit points equal to half your warlock level. Roll initiative for the specter, which has its own turns. It obeys your verbal commands, and it gains a special bonus to its attack rolls equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of +0).

The specter remains in your service until the end of your next long rest, at which point it vanishes to the afterlife.

Once you bind a specter with this feature, you can't use the feature again until you finish a long rest.

Armor of Curses

At 10th level, your curse grows more powerful. If the target cursed by your Artifacts' Curse hits you with an attack roll, roll a d6. On a 4 or higher, the attack instead misses you, regardless of its roll.

Master of Curses

Starting at 14th level, you can spread your Artifacts' Curse from a slain creature to another creature. When the creature cursed by your Artifacts' Curse dies, you can apply the curse to a different creature you can see within 30 feet of you, provided you aren't incapacitated. When you apply the curse in this way, you don't regain hit points from the death of the previously cursed creature.

Armor of Shadows

You can cast mage armor on yourself at will, without expending a spell slot or material components.

When you cast mage armour using this feature, you have a +5 bonus to Dexterity (Stealth) checks made when you are in an area of dim light or darkness for the spell's duration.

Ascendant Step

Prerequisite: 9th level

You can cast levitate on yourself at will, without expending a spell slot or material components.

Beguiling Influence

You gain proficiency in the Deception and Persuasion skills. If you are already proficient, then your proficiency bonus is doubled for ability checks made with either skill.

Bewitching Whispers

Prerequisite: 7th level

You can cast compulsion once without expending a spell slot. You can't do so again until you finish a long rest.

Book of Ancient Secrets

Prerequisite: Pact of the Tome feature

You can now inscribe magical rituals in your Book of Erudition. Choose two 1st-level spells that have the ritual tag from any class's spell list; these rituals needn’t be from the same spell list. The spells appear in the book and don't count against the number of spells you know. With your Book of Erudition in hand, you can cast the chosen spells as rituals. You can't cast the spells except as rituals, unless you've learned them by some other means. You can also cast a warlock spell you know as a ritual if it has the ritual tag.

On your adventures, you can add other ritual spells to your Book of Erudition. When you find such a spell, you can add it to the book if the spell's level is equal to or less than half your warlock level (rounded up) and if you can spare the time to transcribe the spell. For each level of the spell, the transcription process takes 2 hours and costs 50 gp for the rare inks needed to inscribe it.

Chains of Carceri

Prerequisite: 15th level, Pact of the Chain feature

You can cast hold monster as a 5th level spell at will — targeting a celestial, fiend, or elemental - without expending a spell slot or material components. You must finish a long rest before you can use this invocation on the same creature again.

Cloak of Flies

Prerequisite: 5th level

As a bonus action, you can surround yourself with a magical aura that looks like buzzing flies. The aura extends 5 feet from you in every direction, but not through total cover. It lasts until you're incapacitated or you dismiss it as a bonus action.

The aura grants you advantage on Charisma (Intimidation) checks but disadvantage on all other Charisma checks. Any other creature that starts its turn in the aura takes poison damage equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 0 damage).

Once you use this invocation, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Devil's Sight

You can see normally in darkness, both magical and nonmagical, to a distance of 120 feet.

Dreadful Word

Prerequisite: 7th level

You can cast confusion once as a 4th level spell without expending a spell slot. You can't do so again until you finish a long rest.

Eldritch Sight

You can cast detect magic at will, without expending a spell slot.

Eldritch Smite

Prerequisite: 5th level, Pact of the Blade feature

Once per turn when you hit a creature with your melee pact weapon, you can expend a warlock spell slot to deal an extra 1d8 force damage to the target, plus another 1d8 per level of the spell slot, and you can knock the target prone if it is Huge or smaller.

Eldritch Spear

When you make a spell attack with a cantrip that has a range of 10 feet or more, its range becomes 300 feet.

Eyes of the Rune Keeper

You can read all writing.

Fiendish Vigor

You can cast false life on yourself at will as a 1st-level spell, without expending a spell slot or material components.

Greater Beast Form

Prerequisite: 5th level, Pact of the Chain

Your familiar gains an additional beast form. Choose a beast with a challenge rating of 1 or lower whose size is medium or smaller. Your familiar may assume the form of the chosen beast using its shapechange feature.

While in this form, your familiar replaces its Strength and Dexterity scores with the beast's. It may also use the beast's actions and reactions as detailed in the beast's stat block.

Saving throw

• From Wisdom to Constitution. Because warlocks have a lot of concentration spells, so they might as well get the most out of them.

Pact Boons

• You get them at first level and they scale as you level up. The idea here is that the boon should be an indication of why you made the pact to begin with (magical power, fighting ability, or a faithful companion.)
• Pact of the Tome:
  • "Book of Shadows" changed to "Book of Erudition", because what Celestial is giving out something called a Book of Shadows?
  • Sacrificial Rite feature adapted from similar feature from u/Curuxa97's Aberration Warlock.
• Pact of the Chain:
  • You gain a Chain Familiar rather than a normal one.
  • Chain Familiars scale with level.
  • Also have different abilities depending on your patron.
• Pact of the Blade:
  • Thirsting Blade removed from invocations. Instead gained at 5th level.
  • Gains weapon specific features from Hexblade at 3rd level.
  • Improved Pact Weapon is now a level up feature.
  • Weapon Modifications adapted from some magic items from Pathfinder.

Patron Changes

• Hexblade: Has had the weapon-specific features moved to Pact of the Blade. Now a subclass where your pact boon and your patron are the same thing. Subclass renamed "Cursed Artifact" to reflect this. Pact spell list has also been changed so the available spells depend on your pact boon.
• Celestial: Extra cantrip removed. Didn't seem necessary.
• Undying: Renamed to the "Immortal" to avoid confusion with the Undead patron. Some features taken from Knight_Hag's revision as noted in "Sources."

Invocations

• Invocations that allowed you to cast a spell once per day no longer expend a spell slot slot to do so.
• Armour of Shadows also gives a buff to Stealth.
• Beguiling Influence also gives expertise if you're already proficient.
• Eldritch Spear and Repelling Blast work with all cantrips.
