Introduction
Warlocks are seekers of the knowledge that lies hidden in the fabric of the multiverse. Through pacts made with mysterious beings of supernatural power, they unlock magical effects both subtle and spectacular. Drawing on the ancient knowledge of beings such as fey nobles, demons, devils, hags, or tempestuous powers of the deep, warlocks piece together arcane secrets to bolster their own power.
Note: Good/accidental/forced Warlock RP is not supported. All Arelith Warlocks have taken their pact voluntarily. The circumstances of this choice remain at the player's discretion.
- For Arelith's purposes, every character with a Warlock pact makes the choice to pact, for whatever reason. -DM Watchtower

Bardic Path Warlocks
The "bardic" Path Warlocks (old) have been migrated to the new Warlock class (this page). This note is here to assist with anyone looking to understand why their pre-existing Bardic Path Warlock has a forced relevel.
During your next login with such a character, one of the following things will happen:
- If you started with the Bard class, it will be replaced with the Warlock class. You will automatically gain the new Pact Feat corresponding to your old warlock path. Your character's ability scores and 1st level feats remain unchanged, and you will need to relevel.
- An exception was made for bardic warlocks with Dragon Disciple levels or tokens. These characters instead become regular Bards to avoid locking them out of their Dragon Disciple levels. A relevel is still required.
- If your character took bardic warlock levels later on, the path will be removed and you will need to relevel.

Primary saving throw(s): Reflex and Will
Base attack bonus: +3/4 level
- Note: A Warlock summoning any Evil planar being using any in game spell/feat/item/etc. is exempted from alignment divergence hostility.
Spellcasting
- Arcane (spell failure from armor is a factor), charisma-based (a base score of 10 + the spell's level is required to cast a spell, bonus spells are based on modified charisma, and the charisma modifier accects spell DCs), and spontaneous cast (no spell preparation required).
- Warlocks are able to freely select spells from the Warlock spell list.
- Warlocks learn one (infinite) cantrip at level 2 and additional ones at levels 10, 20 and 30.
- Pact feats (See Below) will enable infinite casts of pact-specific spells, if the Warlock has selected them on level-up:
- Regular Pact enables pact-specific infinite spells of Spell Levels 1 and 2.
- Greater Pact enables pact-specific infinite spells of Spell Levels 3 and 4.
- Epic Pact enables pact-specific infinite spells of Spell Levels 5 and 6.
- Spell Levels 7 and 8 are a Patron's greatest boons and therefore never unlimited
- Metamagic will not prevent Pact Spell replenishment, unless the Spell Level increases to 7 or higher.
- Due to engine limitations, using all casts of one Spell Level will also prevent casting Pact Spells of that circle.
- Pact Spells are both listed on the Pact feat description and highlighted during levelup for ease of selection.
- For balance reasons, certain Pact Spells are only replenished once every 3 minutes. These spells are marked with an asterisk in the spell selection menu. After casting, the "-cd" command will list their remaining replenishment cooldown times.
- Epic Spells: Warlock exclusive Dark Invocations. They have specific Epic Pact feat requirements in addition to Warlock level and Spellcraft skill requirements
Eldritch Blast
- The repeat use of Eldritch Blast (including Eldritch Spear, Eldritch Chain, Hideous Blow, Greater Hideous Blow) can be automated using -warlock autoblast. Allowing the Warlock to automatically continue using this ability across available targets.
- Note: This excludes Eldritch Doom, Greater Eldritch Doom and targeted healing.
- Is available as a feat-based ability granted at level 2 for all Warlocks. Harbinger synergizes with Warlock, increasing (only) Eldritch Blast Caster Level by 1 per 2 Harbinger levels.
- Starts at 2d6 damage (level 2), increases to 3d6 (level 5) then increases by 1d6 per combined (Warlock / 2) and (Harbinger / 4) levels. Certain Warlock Class Feats will increase this damage further. Damage is halved when targeting objects.
- All Eldritch Blast Damage Types EXCEPT Magic and Positive will deal half Magic or Positive and half Elemental Damage. Magic and Positive Blast Damage remains undivided but only deals 80% Damage. This makes Magic and Positive the best Blast Damage for interruping spells.
- Is a Touch Attack, ignoring Weapon AB unless otherwise noted. Eldritch Blast respects Spell Resistance, but ignores Globes of Invulnerability and Spell Mantles due to being an invocation.
- Note: the base Eldritch Blast is a ranged touch attack (Dex based).
- A natural 20 on the Touch Attack results in a critical hit, increasing Eldritch Blast damage by 50%.
- Different Blast Shapes are available as Warlock Class Feats. Presently, these are the following, available in Regular and Greater variants:
- Hideous Blow: Strength-based Melee-range Eldritch Blast. Instead of wasting an action when queued to target a creature out of range, Hideous Blow will trigger a regular Eldritch Blast or Spear instead, if the target is close enough for these abilities. Hideous Blow applies a third of the blast damage as temporary hit points for a short period of time.
- Eldritch Doom: Area of effect Eldritch Blast. No touch attack nor saving throw, but lower damage.
- Eldritch Spear: Long-range Eldritch Blast. Dexterity-based ranged touch attack. Upgrades to Eldritch Chain which adds chaining to multiple targets with decreasing damage.
- Warlocks can switch between different blast damage types using the "-warlock" command or radial menu. Available damage types depend on the chosen Pact feats.
- Warlocks able to invoke:
- Positive energy can use Eldritch Blast to heal non-undead party members by 1d4 hit points per two warlock levels.
- Negative energy can use Eldritch Blast to heal undead party members by 1d4 hit points per two warlock levels.
- Note: This does not work for Hideous Blow and Greater Hideous Blow (swapping to base Eldritch blast or another shape will still work)
- The Metamagic feat Quicken Spell will automatically quicken Eldritch Blast cast times.
- Note: Due to engine limitations, the first Eldritch Blast in a sequence remains unquickened.
- Eldritch Blast will appear as an "unknown spell" in the combat log unless characters have high enough Spellcraft to recognize the vile origins of this ability. The amount of Spellcraft needed to recognize Warlock invocations increases based on the observer's level.
- Epic Pact Eldritch Blast effects:
- Epic Pact, Eldritch Blast effects are triggered with:
- Base Eldritch Blast
- Base Shaped Eldritch Blast (Edritch Spear, Eldritch Doom Hideous Blow)
- Greater Shaped Blast (Eldritch Chain, Greater Eldritch Doom, Greater Hideous Blow)

Pacts
- Warlocks are not limited to a single Pact and Patron. Multiple Pacts can be chosen at the expense of Warlock Class Feats.
- Pact feats represent a Warlock's commitment to one particular Patron entity. Per Pact, there are three tiers with increasingly powerful benefits: Regular Pact, Greater Pact and Epic Pact.
- Note: Epic Pact offer the most powerful benefits, but also prohibit the use of Divine Might and Divine Shield when multiclassed with a class that grants access to selecting these feats.

Class Feats - Summoning
Available Summoning Class Feats.
- Tier 4 Summons and above are subject to the Epic Caster Bonus.
- Creatures summoned with the Eldritch Summon line of feats now synergize with the warlock's pact spells and abilities:
- Self-casting Haste also the summon now gains a 50% movement speed increase.
- Eldritch Blasts heal them by 1d2 per 3 warlock levels.
- Casting (Greater) Life Transference on them bypasses the pact spell cooldown.
- Eldritch Summons can resist Word of Faith via a successful fortitude saving throw.
- If they pass this saving throw, they are instead blinded for 9 seconds, like player characters.
- Warlock Eldritch summons are limited to the "Evil" planar streams regardless of the alignment of the Warlock. If the Warlock uses a stream (even their default stream) that is not evil, the summon will default to the "evil" axis of their alignment.
- Example: A Lawful Neutral Warlock summons a creature using their default stream and Eldritch Summon will summon from the Lawful Evil stream (Devils).
- The "evil" Planar streams are:
- Devils: Lawful Evil
- Yugoloths: Neutral Evil
- Demons: Chaotic Evil
- Unseelie Fey: Chaotic Evil
- Note: These summons are exempt from the alignment divergence penalties typical for outsider summons.

RP Tips
Persecution and Hostility
The nature of the warlock is one that is often regarded with fear and mistrust - their powers didn't come through arduous arcane study alone, or by virtue of a magical bloodline, or by the divine providence of a well respected deity, but from esoteric, and often unspeakable powers, powers that they themselves may not fully understand, powers that sometimes, if not outright malign in nature, are at least unknowable, carrying a sentience and purpose that is unpredictable and dangerous.
Clearly, the act of binding with a greater power is not in itself evil, but it is questionable. Those that would make of themselves warlocks should know that the path they chose is one that is dark and turbulent, and many are the ones that have gone astray and have been consumed by the thirst for even more power. Many are the warlocks that have been the cause of great calamity, and few are truly heroic; in the eye of the public, any warlock is as likely to cause another catastrophe.
Painful experience teaches the warlock to be secretive of their nature, and never to flaunt their powers, lest they invoke the ire of the zealot, the fearful and the cautious alike.
That is not to say that warlocks are to be killed on sight; do not make the mistake of considering that questionable is direct equivalency to a more than monstrous status.
Playing with and playing as a warlock has the subtle expectation everybody involved understands that warlocks should be persecuted; they should be ostracized, thrown rotten tomatoes and pointed subtle fingers to. A warlock is only marginally better than an Outcast, barely above the status of a criminal and never better than second class citizens... if the nature of their powers is revealed, of course...
Plainly speaking - Don't go flaunting your pact powers around and expect nothing to happen; you should know that your class is persecuted and questionable. A good RPer will hide their identity and powers, an excellent RPer will almost hide it entirely, and play along when they are inevitably caught. This obviously goes both ways; common people and adventurers should treat warlocks with the full awareness that they are, if not at the very least dangerous, capable of binding their soul to dark forces in the pursuit of power. It should be common sense that this is a red flag.
As an "ordinary adventurer" - that is to say, a non-outcast, non-evil character - associating with warlocks has the same implication as associating with other brands of common ruffians, assassins, necromancers and pale masters are all similar equivalents. This never means 'do not RP with warlocks' or 'Kill them on sight' - this means that you have to find the balance to maintain a skeptical wariness of what they are, and how it will reflect on you to deal with their kind.
