Overview
Warlocks are seekers of hidden knowledge & through pacts made with mysterious beings they unlock magic both subtle & spectacular. Drawing power from ancient & powerful entities, Warlocks piece together scraps of secret power through whatever dread pact they have forged with these creatures. They are defined by this arrangement, similar to common deals between master & apprentice. The Warlock learns and grows in power, at the cost of occasional services performed on their patron’s behalf.
The Patron defines such a deal & there are no shortage of bizarre & potent entities within the Homelands able to grant power. Whilst most commoners would view a Warlock with suspicion & envision Infernal bargains or dread Demi-Gods toying with mortal lives, some do indeed serve agents of the Old or New Gods such as potent Fey or Celestial interests.
Whilst there are infamous covens of Warlocks united in service by Patron or common cause such as the High Elven Court of Dreams or the Spiral Senate of Syhl, most are loners even though they are never truly alone. Ultimately most Pacts are lifelong (or beyond!) but in some cases it may culminate in a mutual parting, or be annulled by one party. Woe betide the Warlock who neglects the fine print!

At 1st level, you know 2 Cantrips & 2 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. 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.
Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you may choose 1 of the Warlock spells you know & replace it with another from the Warlock Spell List, which must be of a level for which you have spell slots. You may also replace 1 spell you learned from this feature with another from the Warlock Spell List after a Long Rest, though it must be of the same spell level.

The creature disappears and hurtles through a nightmare landscape. At the end of your next turn, the target returns to the space it previously occupied, or the nearest unoccupied space. If the target is not a fiend, it takes 10d10 psychic damage as it reels from its horrific experience. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Awakened Mind
Starting at 1st level, 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. Additionally, the creature does not gain the ability to telepathically reply, despite you being able to speak to it.
Entropic Ward
At 6th level, 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, you 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. Additionally, your thoughts can't be read unless you allow it.
Create Thrall
At 14th level, you can use your action to touch an incapacitated humanoid. That creature is charmed by you until a Remove Curse spell is cast on it, the charm 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.
The Hexblade
Expanded Spell List

| 5th | Banishing Smite, Cone of Cold |
Hex Warrior
At 1st level, you gain proficiency with medium armor, shields, and martial weapons.
Additionally, whenever you finish a long rest, you can touch one weapon that you are proficient with and that lacks the two-handed property. When you attack with that weapon, you can use your Charisma modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity, for the attack and damage rolls. This benefit lasts until you finish a long rest. If you later gain the Pact of the Blade feature, this benefit extends to every pact weapon you conjure with that feature, no matter the weapon's type.
Hexblade's Curse
Starting at 1st level, as a bonus action, choose one creature you can see within 30 feet of you. The curse ends early if the target dies, you die, or you are incapacitated. The target is cursed for 1 minute. 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.
You can't use this feature again until you finish a short or long rest.
Accursed Specter
Starting at 6th level, when you slay a humanoid, you can cause its spirit to rise from its corpse as a specter, the statistics for which are in the Monster Manual. 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 Hexes
At 10th level, if the target cursed by your Hexblade's Curse hits you with an attack roll, you can use your reaction to roll a d6. On a 4 or higher, the attack instead misses you, regardless of its roll.
Master of Hexes
Starting at 14th level, when the creature cursed by your Hexblade's 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.
The Soulless
Expanded Spell List
The following spells are added to the Warlock Spell List for you.
| Spell Level | Spells |
|---|---|
| 1st | False Life, Sanctuary |
| 2nd | Silence, Spiritual Weapon |
| 3rd | Feign Death, Speak with Dead |
| 4th | Ice Storm, Locate Creature |
| 5th | Commune, Cone of Cold |
Sentinel Raven
Starting at 1st level, you gain a spirit that assumes the form and game statistics of a raven. It always obeys your commands, which you can give telepathically while it is within 100 feet of you. While the raven is perched on your shoulder, you gain darkvision with a range of 30 feet and a bonus to your passive Wisdom (Perception) score and to Wisdom (Perception) checks. The bonus equals your Charisma modifier.
- While perched on your shoulder, the raven can't be targeted by any attack or other harmful effect; only you can cast spells on it; it can't take damage; and it is incapacitated.
- You can see through the raven's eyes and hear what it hears while it is within 100 feet of you.
- In combat, you roll initiative for the raven and control how it acts. If it is slain by a creature, you gain advantage on all attack rolls against the killer for the next 24 hours.
- The raven doesn't require sleep. While it is within 100 feet of you, it can awaken you from sleep as a bonus action.
- The raven vanishes when it dies, if you die, or if the two of you are separated by more than 5 miles. At the end of a short or long rest, you can call the raven back to you—no matter where it is or whether it died—and it reappears within 5 feet of you.
Soul of the Raven
At 6th level, as a bonus action when your raven is perched on your shoulder, your body merges with your raven's form. While merged, you become Tiny, you replace your speed with the raven's, and you can use your action only to Dash, Disengage, Dodge, Help, Hide, or Search. During this time, you gain the benefits of your raven being perched on your shoulder. As an action, you and the raven return to normal.
Raven's Shield
At 10th level, you gain advantage on death saving throws, immunity to the frightened condition, and resistance to necrotic damage.
Death's Right Hand
Starting at 14th level, you can cast Finger of Death. After you cast the spell with this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.
The Starborne
Expanded Spell List
The following spells are added to the Warlock Spell List for you.

| 4th | Arcane Eye, Locate Creature |
| 5th | Legend Lore, Passwall |
Shielding Aurora
Starting at 1st level, as a bonus action, you create a whirling aurora of brilliant energy that swirls around you. Until the end of your next turn, you gain resistance to all damage, and if a hostile creature ends its turn within 10 feet of you, it takes radiant damage equal to your warlock level + your Charisma modifier.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
Pact Boon: Pact of the Star Chain
At 3rd level, a character dedicated to the Seeker can select this option instead of one of the warlock's existing Pact Boon options. The Seeker grants you a chain forged from starlight. While the chain is on your person, you know the Augury spell and can cast it as a ritual. The spell doesn't count against your number of spells known.
Additionally, you can invoke the Seeker's power to gain advantage on an Intelligence check while you carry this item. Once you use this ability, you cannot use it again until you complete a short or long rest.
If you lose your Star Chain, you can perform a 1-hour ceremony to receive a replacement from the Seeker. The ceremony can be performed during a short or long rest, and it destroys the previous chain. The chain disappears in a flash of light when you die.
Astral Refuge
At 6th level, as an action, you disappear from the world for a brief moment and enter the Astral Plane, taking advantage of its timeless nature. While in your astral refuge, you can take two actions to cast spells that target only you. After using those two actions, you return to the space you occupied and your turn ends.
Far Wanderer
At 10th level, you no longer need to breathe, and you gain resistance to fire damage and cold damage.
Astral Sequestration
Starting at 14th level, by performing a special ritual over the course of 5 minutes, you shift yourself and up to ten willing creatures you can see to the Astral Plane. You and those creatures gain the benefits of a short rest while sequestered on the Astral Plane. You then return to the spaces you all occupied when you used this ability, with no time having passed in the world. During this short rest, you and the creatures you sequester can make use of any options available during a rest that affect only you and the creatures you sequester. Once you use this ability, you cannot use it again until you complete a long rest.

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 any disease.
Additionally, if an undead targets you directly with an attack or a harmful spell that is not an AoE that happens to include you, that creature must make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failed save, the creature must choose a new target or forfeit targeting someone instead of you, potentially wasting the attack or spell. On a successful save, the creature is immune to this effect for 24 hours. An undead is also immune to this effect for 24 hours if you target it with an attack or a harmful spell.
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 long rest.
Undying Nature
Beginning at 10th level, you can hold your breath indefinitely, and you don't require food, water, or sleep, although you still require rest to reduce exhaustion and still benefit from finishing short and long rests.
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, on your turn, you can use a bonus action to regain hit points equal to 1d8 + your warlock level. Additionally, if you put a severed body part of yours back in place when you use this feature, the part reattaches.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
