Warlocks channel arcane might wrested from primeval entities. They commune with infernal intelligences and fey spirits, scour enemies with potent blasts of eldritch power, and bedevil foes with hexing curses. Armed with esoteric secrets and dangerous lore, warlocks are clever and resourceful foes.
However you came to your arcane knowledge, you need not accept the poor reputation warlocks sometimes endure. The pacts are complete, the rites concluded, the signs drawn in blood and the seals broken — your destiny beckons.
“By the Chains of Levistus, the Thousand Eyes of Gibbeth, and the pacts sworn in Bael Turath, I curse thee to the blackest pits of Hell!”
WARLOCKS CALL upon powerful, ancient magic. They commune with primeval entities, treat with devilish or fey visitors in the darkest hours, and spend hours studying the night sky while mouthing the names of constellations and stars. A warlock’s pact might favor a particular style of curse or hex, but that fact doesn’t pigeonhole a warlock into a specific goal or ambition. Even if your warlock chooses the infernal pact, he can remain a tome-toting scholar captivated by ominous lore. If your warlock chooses the star pact, she need not give herself over to entities of the Far Realm; instead, she might search for elusive truths.
Warlocks are purveyors of secrets that others wish to be ignorant of. Those secrets are the keys that unlock the power of hexes, curses, and eldritch incantations. From one point of view, warlocks have taken a shortcut to power. Instead of undertaking careful study and practice, a warlock swears a pact to an entity that provides power in return for fealty. A few warlocks are consumed by their oaths, becoming the worst kind of spellcaster—one who uses magic to tyrannize the weak without remorse. Those warlocks who can withstand the dominating personalities of their pact holders have the potential to become powerful forces in the world and across the planes.
Warlocks rely on Charisma, Constitution, and Intelligence; no warlock powers or class features depend on Strength, Dexterity, or Wisdom. The two basic builds are the deceptive warlock and the scourge warlock.
You prefer spells that deal a little less damage but inflict penalties and negative conditions, fighting at range and avoiding close combat. Make Charisma your best score (most attacks depend on it), Intelligence second (many powers gain a bonus from it), and Constitution third. Deceptive warlocks should choose the fey pact or the star pact.
Suggested Feat: Improved Misty Step (Human feat: Human Perseverance)
Suggested Skills: Arcana, Bluff, Insight, Thievery
Suggested At-Will Powers: eldritch blast, eyebite
Suggested Encounter Power: witchfire
Suggested Daily Power: curse of the dark dream
No subtlety here — you want to deal damage. You’re tougher than the deceptive warlock, with powers to attack and defend in melee as well as excellent ranged attacks. Make Constitution your best score, Intelligence second (it powers many bonuses and improves Reflex and AC), and Charisma third. Scourge warlocks should choose the infernal pact or the star pact.
Suggested Feat: Improved Dark One’s Blessing (Human feat: Action Surge)
Suggested Skills: Arcana, History, Intimidate, Streetwise
Suggested At-Will Powers: eldritch blast, hellish rebuke
Suggested Encounter Power: vampiric embrace
Suggested Daily Power: flames of Phlegethos
You can take one of two basic approaches to your ability scores as a warlock. First, you can put your highest score in either Charisma or Constitution, choose only powers that use that ability for attack rolls and damage rolls, and put your next highest score in Intelligence in order to get the best possible boost from powers that have secondary effects based on your Intelligence. This is the approach suggested in the Player’s Handbook. The advantage to this approach is that you get the most bang for your Intelligence buck, but if you select attack powers that don’t use the ability you chose, those will be clearly inferior to your other attack powers. Effectively, you’re limited to half of the available powers—the ones that use whichever ability you choose as your highest score.
The second approach is to keep both your Charisma and your Constitution high, making Intelligence your third-highest score (and probably a distant third). If you go this route, you can choose any warlock power and know that your attack rolls and damage rolls will be more or less equal, so you have the maximum flexibility in your power selection. On the downside, you won’t get as much benefit from powers that have effects related to Intelligence.
Which approach is best for you is really up to you to decide. It’s worth spending some time when you create your warlock character to think about the powers you’re going to want as you progress through your career, so you can weigh the importance of Intelligence to your character and make the right choices for your ability scores.
Most devas prefer the wizard, avenger, invoker, or cleric class. However, after enough reincarnations, some devas are attracted to the idea of pursuing an out-of-the-ordinary career, and so one might take up the warlock class. Although a deva can’t consciously recall the details of his or her previous life, a deva warlock often selects a pact connected in some way to previous experiences. Such individuals tend to take the fey pact or the vestige pact. They typically avoid the infernal, star, and dark pacts, believing such oaths to invite corruption and rebirth as a rakshasa.
Dragonborn have naturally high Charisma, which makes them excellent warlocks. Dragonborn warlocks put their natural force of will to good use with star pact or fey pact powers. Despite their natural ability, dragonborn warlocks are unusual. Thus, a dragonborn warlock tends to stand out more than a dragonborn fighter or a tiefling warlock might.
Though not known for their high Charisma, dwarves possess exceptional Constitution scores, which make them ideal warlock candidates. Dwarves often become scourge warlocks, and they favor the infernal pact and the vestige pact, both of which play to their racial strengths. Dwarves have a strong tradition as fighters, yet among dwarf clans, many warlocks proudly pledge their eldritch powers to the defense of the community.
Eladrin prefer to pursue careers as wizards rather than warlocks. However, eladrin who do swear pacts to otherworldly entities discover that their education and hardened minds make them ideal students of esoteric knowledge. Their background in ancient history, fey entities, and distant stars gives them the know-how to safely form pacts. Eladrin favor the fey pact because of their fey origin and because the Misty Step pact boon enhances their ability to teleport.
Like eladrin, elves are not known for making eldritch pacts. Elves who become warlocks usually take the fey pact to connect with their fey origin. Elf warlocks often pick up some martial powers to supplement their arcane abilities, relying on attacks that utilize Dexterity.
Some half-elves feel trapped between two worlds they’re not truly part of, and they turn to dark pacts to find escape or revenge. Others see their dual heritage as a unique source of power, allowing them to harness fey forces without being bound by those forces. Whatever their situation or outlook, half-elves excel as warlocks, putting their naturally high Charisma and Constitution to work to help them master the spells of any pact with relative ease.
Quick-witted halflings are drawn to becoming warlocks. Their high Charisma enables halflings to excel with their curses and spells, and their small size and innately superior Dexterity are effective complements to the paradigm that deceptive warlocks embody.
The tiefling is the prototypical warlock. The race’s innately high Charisma and Intelligence tend to make tieflings favor the class. Many tieflings swear pacts to vestiges, Far Realm creatures, and ancient, fey entities, perhaps out of a desire to break the mold of their predecessors in Bael Turath, who often adopted the infernal pact.
All warlocks know the eldritch blast at-will power, which can be used as a basic attack. You gain it plus another at-will power determined by your Eldritch Pact. (See the Level 1 At-Will Spells.)
You have forged a pact with mysterious entities. Choose one: fey pact, infernal pact, or star pact. Your pact determines one of your at-will spells and grants a pact boon — a power you use to further hex your enemies — and provides bonuses to certain warlock powers (noted on individual powers as a “Fey/Infernal/Star Pact” rider).
The Player’s Handbook describes the fey pact, the infernal pact, and the star pact. The Forgotten Realms Player’s Guide describes the dark pact. Arcane Power introduces the vestige pact, which draws upon mislaid spheres of power, forgotten eldritch influences, and allegiances that most believe have been concluded or discontinued.
A bargain with ancient, amoral powers of the Feywild. You know eyebite, and gain the Misty Step pact boon: when an enemy under your Warlock’s Curse drops to 0 hit points or fewer, you can immediately teleport 3 squares as a free action.
The perilous secrets of a forgotten race of devils. You know hellish rebuke, and gain the Dark One’s Blessing pact boon: when an enemy under your Warlock’s Curse drops to 0 hit points or fewer, you immediately gain temporary hit points equal to your level.
The astrologer’s art and the secret names of the stars. You know dire radiance, and gain the Fate of the Void pact boon: when an enemy under your Warlock’s Curse drops to 0 hit points or fewer, you gain a +1 bonus to a single d20 roll on your next turn (cumulative for multiple cursed enemies that drop).
You have forged relationships with vestiges—the remnants of powerful forces and entities that once exercised great authority or demonstrated awful capabilities. These remnants are diverse in their background and motives. As a vestige pact warlock, you can choose from between two or more vestige pacts to fuel your arcane power.
When an enemy under your Warlock’s Curse drops to 0 hit points or fewer, you gain the benefit of your active vestige’s pact boon.
You always have one active vestige. As a beginning character, you have access to the two primary vestiges: King Elidyr and Zutwa. You select one of these as your active vestige after a short rest or an extended rest.
How does your warlock character’s build affect his or her personality? Although a warlock need not have a personality associated with his or her pact, it is easy to imagine an infernal pact warlock as cunning and mischievous, and a star pact warlock as absentminded. A fey pact warlock might be more caring, ensuring the preservation of animals and plants, while a dark pact warlock might see creatures of the surface as impediments to his or her goals. A vestige pact warlock tends to be bookish and scholarly, more akin to a wizard.
You can gain temporary access to other vestiges by using certain daily attack powers. (For ease of identification, all these powers have names that begin with “Vestige.”) When you use a power that gives you access to a daily power vestige, you can choose for that vestige to immediately become your active vestige. If you do so, it remains your active vestige until you gain access to a different vestige by using another daily attack power or until the end of the encounter. If you don’t immediately choose to change to that daily power vestige, your access to that vestige is lost until the next time you use that power.
After a short rest or an extended rest, you again select one of the two primary vestiges to be your active vestige. That vestige remains active until you change to a daily power vestige or until you take another short rest or extended rest.
In addition, certain benefits (such as the Vestige Adept feat) allow you to change your vestige at a different time or under different circumstances.
The pact boon associated with the primary vestiges are given below. Other pact boons are described in the daily attack powers that give you access to new vestiges.
You’re a vestige pact warlock who likes the vestige of King Elidyr, so after an extended rest, you choose that to be your active vestige.
During your first encounter of the day, when you use the eyes of the vestige power, you gain the eyes of the vestige augment associated with King Elidyr. If you curse a creature and that enemy then drops to 0 hit points or fewer, your King Elidyr pact boon triggers.
Later in the same encounter, you decide to use the vestige of Mount Vaelis daily attack power. That power gives you access to a new vestige, Mount Vaelis, and you choose to make the change. When you adopt this new active vestige, your pact boon and your eyes of the vestige augment both change to the benefit that Mount Vaelis provides. You no longer gain the benefits of the vestige of King Elidyr. The only time you can change your active vestige back to King Elidyr (or to Zutwa, the other primary vestige) is after a short rest or an extended rest.
If you use another daily power in the same encounter that gives you access to a new vestige, you can choose for that daily power vestige to replace Mount Vaelis as your active vestige.
Your first two vestiges are King Elidyr and Zutwa. They give out their power freely and recklessly.
The warlock spells in the Player’s Handbook all identify the pact they’re associated with, but the spells in this book don’t include that information. After looking at the Player’s Handbook, many players felt constrained to choose the powers associated with their pact, which is far too limiting. If you’re a fey pact warlock, you don’t have to choose only fey pact powers—any warlock spell that uses Charisma (including dark pact powers and some star pact powers) is a fine choice for you. If you want to, you can tweak the descriptions, flavor, or even the names of your powers to reflect your pact or the particular patron you choose.
Some powers in this book give particular effects based on your choice of pact, and even offer different effects for different pacts. For example, the fortune’s reversal spell has a baseline effect, a slightly different effect if you have the dark pact, and a still different effect if you have the fey pact. Furthermore, certain items and feats have benefits that apply when you use a warlock power of a particular pact. Such powers can be identified either by the pact name appearing in parentheses in the title line of the power, or by the pact’s name appearing as a subhead in the power entry.
If none of your allies are nearer to your target than you are, you gain a +1 bonus to ranged attack rolls against that target.
On your turn, if you move at least 3 squares away from where you started your turn, you gain concealment until the end of your next turn.
Your passage through the world leaves its mark. As you walk, arcane energy burns and congeals around you. Depending on your pact and your idea of your character, you might imagine the effect of your Shadow Walk class feature as fey energy sparkling around you and hiding you from clear view, the utter blackness of the Underdark clinging to you, or sulfurous smoke straight from the Nine Hells billowing around you. It’s up to you to decide whether your warlock is constantly surrounded by this concealing cloud—even while you’re walking down a city street doing your shopping—or if it’s only active while you’re in combat. If it’s always active, it’s a good idea to remind your DM of it once in a while, so the NPCs you meet respond appropriately.
Once per turn as a minor action, you can place a Warlock’s Curse on the nearest enemy you can see. If you hit a cursed enemy, you deal extra damage (once per round; decide after rolling damage). A curse lasts until the end of the encounter or until the enemy drops to 0 hit points or fewer. You can curse multiple targets over an encounter, but not one already cursed by you or another character.
What happens to your enemies when you lay your curse upon them? Unless you have a magic item that imposes additional effects, the effects in the game are very straightforward: The target takes more damage from your attacks. But what’s happening from the perspective of your character—and the monster you target with your curse?
Fundamentally, you’re creating a bond between you and the target—that’s part of the reason your curse works only on the nearest target you can see. Perhaps you simply create a conduit between yourself and the target that makes the power you wield flow more easily to the target, so you can imbue your spells with a little extra strength as they course along that conduit to your foe. Or you might briefly mention the target’s name to whatever entity gives you your power, focusing that being’s alien attention on your foe so your spells carry more power.
When you put your curse on a creature, the target knows it. The creature might experience it as a chill down the spine, a prickle at the back of its neck, a nauseated feeling in its stomach, or an unpleasant sense of dread. It might have a brief flash of vision revealing the source of your power, terrible and awesome in its mind. Many creatures respond to that feeling with fear, and many others react with aggression directed at the source of the curse—you. It’s never a bad idea to have a defender in place between you and the target of your curse.
More than members of other classes, warlocks are known for their impiety. Warlocks channel power from creatures and entities that are often enemies of the gods, and thus warlocks are bound to wonder what the gods can offer that they do not already have. However, in a world where the gods have specific goals and can manifest physically, some warlocks realize that they cannot ignore the pantheon entirely. A few warlocks find that devotion to a particular god can further their own goals as well as those of the deity.
Avandra is a popular deity among warlocks because of her influence over adventure. Warlocks who search for secrets and ancient knowledge, even if they’re not evil, might revere Vecna. As the god of knowledge, Ioun has appeal for warlocks who seek to learn more about the enigmatic creatures with which they make pacts. Beyond these three, all the deities in the pantheon count some warlocks among their worshipers. Warlocks who view magical skill as an art form, including many elves and eladrin, worship Corellon. Dwarf warlocks who seek to protect their communities worship Moradin. Pelor is popular among good-aligned warlocks who use their eldritch powers to scour evil, and the Raven Queen is a favored deity among warlocks who seek only to deliver death with their powers.
Adrin is an elf rogue from the Witchwood, a cheerful and gregarious citizen of a small, close-knit community of elves and eladrin. Although he thrives on the company of other people, he also enjoys wandering through the forest—at least, he used to. That changed when he encountered a presence, a fey being of enormous power, ancient wisdom, and primal hunger. The being scared him senseless, but left Adrin with arcane power he didn’t possess before (reflected in the Pact Initiate feat, with the fey pact). Adrin is terrified of what the fey being is going to ask in exchange for the power it gave him, and his sleep is tormented by nightmares about this encounter. After that experience, Adrin left the Witchwood for the nearby town of Brindol, and if he never enters the forest again, he will be content.
Warlocks deal extensively with the life force of all beings—the energy that animates even undead creatures. When you place your Warlock’s Curse on a creature, you bind its life force to yours. Your Prime Shot feature (unlike the ranger’s similar feature) relies on your ability to manipulate an enemy’s life force when no competing sources of life force are nearby. Many of your powers manipulate life force directly (such as life force reclaimed), and the life-stealer paragon path (Player’s Handbook) is the ultimate expression of this tendency in warlock powers. For an infernal pact warlock like the life-stealer, manipulation of enemies’ life force is clearly sinister, and it’s part of what makes all warlocks frightening to common folk.
How does your warlock view this use and abuse of enemies’ life force? Is it a distasteful but necessary part of your magic? Do you derive pleasure or sustenance from it? Is it an almost addictive, dangerous habit you would just as soon break if you could? Or is it a foretaste of the destiny you will someday embrace, when as a terrible demigod of annihilation you will feast on the lives of nations?
A warlock’s powers are spells, listed by the level at which you gain access to them. Each spell notes the pact it belongs to (Fey, Infernal, Star, or All); spells that are not your pact can still be chosen, but the bolded “Fey/Infernal/Star Pact” rider only applies if you have that pact.
These new warlock powers flesh out the vestige pact and provide additional options for other warlocks. Spells of the vestige pact use your Constitution score because managing numerous and diverse vestiges takes a physical toll. The ancient powers of the vestige pact hunger to consume a warlock’s body and use it for their own purposes, and a warlock must resist these forces if he or she is to survive.

He sees what you want him to see, he hears what you want him to hear. Like a sinister puppeteer, you can make him do anything you wish. Atk Cha vs Will · Hit On tgt’s next turn, you dictate its standard, move, and minor actions. Tgt cannot use immediate actions. It can’t use powers other than a basic attack, and it can’t take suicidal actions such as leaping off a cliff or attacking itself.

| DLY | Doom of DelbanWarlock (Star) Attack 29 · PHBStd Ranged 10Arcane, Cold, Fear, ImplementTgt One creature | A single slanting shaft of frigid starlight strikes your enemy from above and clings to him.

It protects you while unleashing gouts of fire on foes. Eff You conjure a wall of flame that is up to 3 sq high and lasts until the end of the encounter. The wall blocks line of sight.

At 11th level a warlock may take one of these paragon paths. Each grants path features at 11th and 16th levels plus the encounter, utility, and daily spells shown. Some paths require a specific pact; others are open to any warlock.
“There is an old drow saying: ‘Vengeance is sweeter when exacted in darkness.’”
You deter creatures with physical and psychological threats when they intend to harm you, your allies, or other things important to you. You believe that threats mean nothing, though, if you are not willing to deliver on them. When intimidation fails, you visit vengeance swiftly and fully upon the offending party.
In your mind, vengeance is a virtue. As a warlock of the dark pact, you viscerally understand the concept of vengeance. Many of the entities with which you make pacts are consumed by revenge. In the Underdark, slights and rivalries fester and give birth to bouts of ruthless skulduggery and sinister schemes.
As a dark reckoner, you have internalized your baleful emotions and feelings of injustice. From dark alleyways and unlighted tunnels, you draw inspiration and purpose. You understand that vengeance is a potent source of power.
| ENC | Deadly JudgmentDark Reckoner Attack 11 · ArPStd Ranged 10Arcane, Implement, NecroticTgt One creature | The pain your enemy suffers from your attack is also felt by its allies. Atk Cha vs Reflex · Hit 2d8 + Cha necrotic dmg. Each enemy within 2 sq of tgt takes necrotic dmg = Int. |

Atk Cha vs Fortitude · Hit 4d8 + Cha necrotic dmg. Until the end of the encounter, the first time tgt makes an attack roll against you, it takes ongoing 10 necrotic dmg (save ends). Miss Half dmg. Until EONT, the first time tgt makes an attack roll against you, it takes ongoing 5 necrotic dmg (save ends). |
You wrap yourself in the fear of the darkness beyond the stars and use it as a shield against your enemies. In addition, you examine the strands of fate to issue proclamations of doom to all who stand against you.
| ENC | Fates EntwinedDoomsayer (Star) Attack 11 · PHBStd Ranged 5Arcane, Fear, Implement, PsychicTgt One creature | You lodge a painful psychic shard in your enemy’s brain that resonates whenever you take damage. Atk Cha vs Will · Hit 2d8 + Cha psychic dmg. Until EONT, when you take dmg, tgt takes half that amount of psychic dmg. |
| DLY | Accursed ShroudDoomsayer (Star) Utility 12 · PHBStd Ranged 5ArcaneTgt One creature | You envelop your enemy in an inky cloak of shadow that writhes and coils around him, twisting her attacks against you.

Atk Cha vs Will · Hit 4d8 + Cha psychic dmg, and tgt is stunned until the end of its next turn and knocked prone. Miss Half dmg, and tgt is dazed until the end of its next turn. |
“Bend an ear and listen close. You don’t want to miss this, do you? That’s the way—calm and easy. See how easily you’ve fallen under my sway?”
You are a figure of rumor and local folklore. You learned your craft from the First Order, ascended quickly to the Second Order, and made your pacts to the invisible magi of the Third Order. In return for your devotion they have given you the power to beguile and warp minds.
Your ways are mysterious and frightening to other creatures. When you use your spells, and even when you speak, people sit and listen, enraptured by the hypnotic sound of your words and mesmerized by your eyes. Few ever realize what they risk upon meeting your ensnaring gaze or listening to your enthralling voice. Those who do realize your true power consider themselves lucky to have survived the experience.
| ENC | Hekiah’s TranceEntrancing Mystic Attack 11 · ArPStd Ranged 5Arcane, Charm, Implement, PsychicTgt One creature | Your foe becomes lost in your eyes, shuffling in the direction of your gaze.

Miss Tgt chooses either to be dazed until EONT, or to take ongoing 10 psychic dmg (save ends). |
Your constant visits to the Feywild and your communion with the fey entity that holds your pact have touched you to your very soul and driven you slightly mad. But within this madness, you have found the power to rise to the next level of your existence. The secrets of the Feywild might be maddening, but they provide you with new opportunities to achieve your goals and defeat your enemies. You relish the madness and can control it, but those you unleash it upon can do nothing but crumble in the wake of the unparalleled majesty of the Feywild.
| ENC | Will of the FeywildFeytouched (Fey) Attack 11 · PHBStd Ranged 10Arcane, Charm, Implement, Psychic, TeleportationTgt One creature | You bend your enemy’s will to your whim. In a blinding flash of golden light, the creature teleports to a location you designate and, in its madness, attacks one of its allies. Atk Cha vs Will · Hit 2d8 + Cha psychic dmg. You can teleport tgt 5 sq, whereupon it makes a MBA against an adjacent creature of your choice. Eff Tgt is dazed until the end of its next turn. |
| DLY | Twilight TeleportFeytouched (Fey) Utility 12 · PHBFree Ranged 20Arcane, Teleportation | An enemy falls to your curse, and another creature appears in its place, surrounded by motes of twilight.

Atk Cha vs Will · Hit Tgt must make a basic attack against its nearest ally (you choose tgt if there are multiple possible targets). If it can’t make the attack, tgt takes 2d8 + Cha psychic dmg. Eff After it makes its attack or takes psychic dmg, tgt is dazed (save ends). |
“When a god dies, it leaves behind power that lingers. I will find a way to access one of these dead gods and tap into its power.”
Gods, primordials, and other powerful beings are sometimes preserved in the Astral Sea after their deaths. Drifting through the starry mists like immortal flotsam, they slumber through the millennia, awaiting the divine spark that might reawaken them. As the ages pass, the drifting corpses transform into astral matter.
Your curiosity was kindled when you first heard the term “dead god” while studying vestiges. Something about the concept of dead immortals fascinated you. And why not? When a god dies, where does its power go? You discovered the answer to this question: The power becomes dormant, crystallizing into a solid form within the Astral Sea. There, it drifts across the starry expanse, forgotten but not destroyed.
You study the history of deceased deities, primordials, and other legendary beings. From these accounts, you learn to siphon the beings’ lost energy and dormant power. However, you know that real power lies in locating the crystallized essence of one of these dead immortals and awakening its full force.
| ENC | Deific DecayGod Fragment Attack 11 · ArPStd Ranged 10Arcane, Implement, NecroticTgt One creature | You harness the necrotic power of a dead god’s corpse, and you hurl it at an unsuspecting foe. Atk Con vs Fortitude · Hit 2d12 + Con necrotic dmg. |
| DLY | Deific DoomGod Fragment Utility 12 · ArPMinor Close burst 2Arcane, Zone | You borrow the remnants of power from a dead god, instilling your presence with an overwhelming sense of loss and regret. Eff The burst creates a zone of suffering, loss, and regret that lasts until the end of the encounter. When you move, the zone moves with you, remaining centered on you. Each enemy within the zone takes a –2 penalty to attack rolls and saving throws. |
| DLY | Vestige of KarmathGod Fragment Attack 20 · ArPStd Ranged 10Arcane, Charm, Implement, NecroticTgt One creature | You overwhelm an enemy’s mind with a fragment of Karmath the Unmourned God, giving you control over the creature’s body.

“I have looked into the fiery heart of the Nine Hells. There, I saw tantalizing power.”
Your choice to swear a pact to an infernal entity in exchange for power was not an easy choice, but it was a choice you made with open eyes. You understand the moral dangers implicit in your pact, but you believe that your soul can withstand the physical and mental force of Hell. Though devils constantly attempt to lure you into their sinister plots, you remain steadfast against their persuasion.
When an opportunity came to claim even more strength from your devilish patron, you leaped at it. You accepted their empowering flames, wearing your might like a crown. Sometimes your allies worry about the ultimate fate of your soul, but you laugh off their concern. You assure them that you are in no danger, and that they need not pity you. However, you have heard the call of darkness, and sometimes you question what destination awaits you when you die.
| ENC | Pillar of PowerHellbringer Attack 11 · ArPStd Ranged 10Arcane, Fire, ImplementTgt One creature | You call up a pillar of fire that rises from the bowels of the Hells and incinerates your foe. Atk Con vs Reflex · Hit 2d8 + Con fire dmg. Each creature adjacent to tgt takes fire dmg equal to half the dmg dealt. |
| DLY | Gates of HellHellbringer Utility 12 · ArPMinor Ranged 10Arcane, FireTgt Two unoccupied sq | You open a gate through Hell to connect points on the battlefield. Your allies can pass through it unharmed, but your foes cannot. Eff You create a dimensional rift between the two target sq that lasts until EONT. Any creature that enters one of tgt sq can move to the other target sq as if it were adjacent to that sq. A creature cannot pass through the rift if either sq is occupied by another creature. Each enemy that moves from one gate sq to the other takes 1d10 + Con fire dmg. Sust Minor The gates persist. |
| DLY | Unleash the InfernoHellbringer Attack 20 · ArPStd Close burst 10Arcane, Fire, ImplementTgt Each enemy in burst | You call up an earth-shaking column of fire, which burns and knocks down your foes. Atk Con vs Fortitude · Hit 2d10 + Con fire dmg, and you knock tgt prone. Miss Half dmg. |
“Art can be created in any medium. Painters draw images on canvas, bards write epic narratives, and musicians compose sweet harmonies. I spit curses of such beauty and potency that all who hear them are stricken.”
Any warlock can scream “I curse you!” but in your opinion, such curses are shallow and meaningless. Such a simple, insubstantial curse is a betrayal of the warlock’s ability to channel arcane might wrested from primeval entities. A normal curse might be enough to make an enemy quail, but you believe a curse should curdle the blood and elicit wide-eyed, slack-jawed shock.
You have delved deeply into the intricacies of crafting curses. You have discovered that greater effects can be wrung from a well-placed curse than most warlocks realize. When you place a hex, your foes reel from the power of your curse. You have learned to weave your spells with your curses and your curses with your spells. Your body and mind resonate with the damning curses you articulate. When you speak, all who hear your words flinch.
| ENC | HexblastHexer Attack 11 · ArPStd Close blast 5Arcane, Implement, PsychicTgt Each enemy in blast | You scream an eerie curse that harms your enemies’ minds more than their ears. Eff You can place your Warlock’s Curse on tgt. · Atk Cha or Con vs Will · Hit 1d8 + Cha or Con psychic dmg. |
| ENC | Vengeful HexHexer Utility 12 · ArPImm React Ranged 10ArcaneTgt The triggering enemy | You balefully eye the enemy who shot you.

| DLY | Hex of AbandonmentHexer Attack 20 · ArPStd Ranged 10Arcane, Implement, PsychicTgt One creature | Your foe imagines that you and your allies are manifestations of its worst nightmare that have come to torment and murder it. Atk Cha or Con vs Will · Hit 3d10 + Cha or Con psychic dmg. Eff Until the end of the encounter, you can place your Warlock’s Curse on each enemy that ends its turn adjacent to tgt, and that enemy takes 2d6 dmg when you curse it. |
Your pact with infernal powers has given you the ability to steal and utilize the life energy of your enemies. This life energy provides you with a new avenue to power, and you hunger for it as a vampire craves blood.
| ENC | Soul ScorchLife-Stealer (Infernal) Attack 11 · PHBStd Ranged 10Arcane, Fire, Implement, NecroticTgt One creature | As black fire immolates your adversary, you release one of your life sparks. Your foe cries out in pain as he feels the life ebb from his body. Atk Con vs Will · Hit 3d8 + Con fire and necrotic dmg. Eff If tgt creature has the same origin as a life spark you possess, you can expend that life spark to deal an extra 10 dmg to tgt. |
| DLY | Life Spark SummonsLife-Stealer (Infernal) Utility 12 · PHBMinor Ranged 10Arcane | You expend one of your life sparks to fashion an effigy of the creature whose spark you’ ve just released. Eff Expend a life spark you possess. Place the creature from which you received that life spark back in the encounter within the power’s range. It has 10 HP and acts on your next turn with a full set of actions as an independent creature that you control. The creature can do nothing except make basic attacks and move. It drops to 0 HP again, dies, and fades away at EONT. |
| DLY | SoultheftLife-Stealer (Infernal) Attack 20 · PHBStd Ranged 5Arcane, Implement, NecroticTgt One, two, or three creatures | You engulf your enemies in crackling purple energy. As they crumple, blazing motes of soul-light rise up from their bodies and fly into your grasp. Atk Con vs Fortitude, one attack per target · Hit 3d8 + Con necrotic dmg, and you gain a life spark from any target that drops to 0 HP or fewer as a result of this attack. Miss Half dmg, and no life spark. |
“The stars are points of light burning beyond the world. Some believe them to be windows through which inimical creatures study our cosmos. In my view, that’s a parochial conception of stars, at best.”
You understand the true nature of stars, and your knowledge surpasses that of nearly all other creatures. You have studied all the standard texts of star pact warlocks. You found the interpretation contained within those tomes to be catastrophic if accepted as fact. Perhaps some stars are windows into the Far Realm, as many star pact warlocks claim. You suspect that many stars hold other secrets, though. Thus, you have forged a new set of beliefs.
With your star chart, astrolabe, and viewing glass, you have determined the luminosity and motion of many stars. You have plumbed their colors, their sizes, and most important, the power they offer to a warlock. You understand the symbiosis of nature and magic that is embodied by the stars, and so you have twisted your pact into something different from those of your counterparts. You no longer fear the depths of the sky, for you are the master of the starry night.
| ENC | Stellar DebrisMaster of the Starry Night Attack 11 · ArPStd Close blast 5Arcane, Fire, Implement, RadiantTgt Each creature in blast | Brilliant stellar debris explodes outward from you, burning your enemies.

Atk Cha vs Reflex · Hit 4d10 + Cha radiant dmg. Until the end of the encounter, whenever you hit tgt, it takes 2d6 extra radiant dmg. Miss Half dmg. Until EONT, whenever you hit tgt, it takes 2d6 extra radiant dmg. |
“I have looked upon the glittering sea that reflects past and future. My visions reveal both hope and disaster.”
An oracle appeared to you in dreams. She strode from a cave mouth arrayed in the sea-green robe of an ancient prophet, and called herself the scion of the Sea Tyrant. “Behold!” she declared, revealing a vision of a terrible flood in which legions of angels were swept into eternal chaos. After showing you this disaster, the oracle bathed your eyes in water, and your vision was forever changed.
Like the prophets of old, you are capable of gaining horrible insights into the future. In most cases your predictions extend so far ahead in time that you can do little to affect the course of events. However, you sometimes predict imminent events, and in these cases you can take steps to avert or fulfill the occurrences you foresaw.
| ENC | Doomsday PortentSea Tyrant Oracle Attack 11 · ArPStd Ranged 10Arcane, Fear, ImplementTgt One creature | You prophesize the demise of your enemy, filling it with horrifying visions of its death. Atk Con vs Will · Hit Tgt is dazed and weakened until EONT. |

Miss Half dmg. · Sea Tyrant Pact Boon You slide one creature cursed by you that you can see a number of sq = Con. · Eyes of the Vestige Augment You also slide your eyes of the vestige target a number of sq = Int. |
“The world reels from my wrath, for I ride upon storms and carry wind and lightning in my footsteps.”
In a small tome called Fey Pacts of Ancient Days, you discovered the names of ancient archfey once revered by primitive humans. The tome described Zeifion the Lord of Bats, Zebechial the Lord of Lightning, and Alorrisa the Lady of Swords.
You were amazed and intrigued. You could feel a power within each name calling out to you. These ancient entities, so long forgotten, offered you strength in exchange for devotion.
You eventually acquiesced, swearing yourself to the fey creature whose ethos you believed most matched your own: the Lord of Lightning. Now, the entity whispers secrets of the storm to you from his floating demesne within the Feywild. You listen carefully to each utterance, every growl of the storm or roar of lightning. Although the Lord of Lightning seems most concerned with unleashing the force of the storm, you have gained much power under his tutelage. It might be only a matter of time before your own spells rival the power of your master.
| ENC | Judgment of the StormStorm Scourge Attack 11 · ArPStd Ranged 10Arcane, Implement, LightningTgt One or two creatures | You unleash bolts of lightning upon those who offend you, smiting them with your power. Atk Cha vs Reflex · Hit 1d10 + Cha + Int lightning dmg. |

Atk Cha vs Reflex · Hit 2d10 + Cha + Int lightning dmg. Eff Whenever tgt is hit by an attack, tgt takes lightning dmg = Int (save ends). Tgt cannot save against this effect until it is hit at least once. |
Warlock (PHB + Arcane Power) — 1
