From ''The Morals and Ethics of the Arcane'', by Ypesliva
[[Warlock]] is a custom base class available on Arelith.


== NWN Requirements ==
__TOC__
* Base Class: [[Bard]]
* Arelith allows lawful bards, and therefore allow lawful warlocks.
* Infernal warlocks require non-chaotic non-good.
* Abyssal warlocks require non-lawful non-good.
* Fey warlock non-good.


== General Information ==


Warlocks have an overall poor reputation, a result of their dealings with otherworldly and often malevolent outsiders. However, not all warlocks are evil by nature and may use such deadly gifts for more benign purposes. How far the warlock goes to fulfilling their pact is entirely up to them, though corruption is an ever-present danger for warlocks of all stripes.
== Introduction ==


Likewise, many warlocks make pacts with several creatures, rather than just one, in order to access even more power, though all warlocks must eventually favor one pact over all the others. Like sorcerers many warlocks come from a supernatural bloodline and it has been said that warlocks are "born, not made." This is not true for all warlocks, though many do indeed come from fiendish bloodlines. Those that aren't are still often touched by destiny in some special way, sought out by powerful extraplanar forces as tools and minions, altering their soul and giving them supernatural abilities beyond the ken of most mortals.  
[[Warlock]]s 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.


These forces behold warlocks to their power, though some break away from the chains of their servitude to forge their own destiny. More often, warlocks, by choice or by circumstance, become much like cruel and capricious beings they serve. Tieflings and others of fiendish blood are powerfully drawn to the ways of the warlock and are among the most common to take the path. Humans, thanks in large part to their capacity for ambition, also breed many warlocks, hoping to find a path to power that does not take them a significant portion of their short lifespans. Half-orcs are also commonly warlocks, in part because the powers that choose to give patronage to warlocks do not discriminate between them and other, more "purebred" races.
'''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''

Warlocks have varying views of those who differ from them, in part because of their outsider place in society. Generally, warlocks view other arcanists through a lense of bitter rivalry but many have a healthy respect for fighters' strength or clever rogues. Few warlocks get along well with practitioners of divine magic, in part due to their dealings with unholy powers, but warlocks rarely try to deliberately upset allies who could prove useful, which includes healing clerics.
=== Bardic Path Warlocks===
The "bardic" Path [[Warlock]]s (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.


=== Warlocks in Campaigns ===
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 [[#Pacts|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|Dragon Disciple]] levels or tokens. These characters instead become regular [[Bard]]s to avoid locking them out of their [[Dragon disciple|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.


Even more so than sorcerers, warlocks tend to be viewed with great suspicion and fear, and only the most infamous necromancers come close to provoking the distrust and enmity that warlocks commonly elicit. Even the least superstitious know that a warlock's power is derived from dangerous and evil patrons; and even a warlock whose worth has been proven time and again in the service of good might still be thought to have the potential for dark treachery.
== Class Mechanics ==


Few towns or cities will long abide a known warlock in their midst - low-level warlocks often risk being assaulted by pitchfork-wielding mobs. Warlocks of moderate power rarely need fear outright attack, but they might find themselves subject to a variety of hints (subtle or otherwise) that their presence is unwanted. High-level warlocks are generally considered far too dangerous to offend, but they can often find themselves subject to harassment of a different sort as successive waves of crusading adventurers show up on their doorsteps, each intent on eliminating such a clearly malevolent threat.
=== Requirements ===


Warlocks fare a little better when under the protection of a local lord, but few good-hearted nobles freely offer a warlock employment. The reputation of these fell arcanists is simply too black.
'''Alignment restrictions:''' Any non-good


Like the sorcerer, the warlock is valued less for his counsel and knowledge than for his ability to wreak havoc against his foes, and those rare few who obtain a powerful patron likely serve as bodyguards or highly capable arcane warriors. Most warlocks never swear fealty to another individual, though, preferring to wield their unique power only in their own name.
=== Class Features ===


''Excerpt from The Complete Arcane''
{{ClassPicture|title=Warlock|image=Warlock_PHB5e.png}}


=== On Consorting with Fiends ===
'''Hit die:''' d6


If characters can be judged by the company they keep, then those who deal with fiends - demons and devils - are surely evil beings themselves. Fiends are the ultimate expression of evil given animate form: literally evil incarnate. Destroying a fiend is always a good act. Allowing a fiend to exist, let alone purposefully summoning or helping one, is clearly evil.
'''Proficiencies:''' armor (light, medium), shield, weapon (simple)


Occasionally, a spellcaster may summon a fiendish creature to accomplish some task. Such an act is "evil" but not terribly so. However, some characters, particularly those who worship demons or devils or see them as valuable allies, may work with (or for) fiends to further their own ends. Worse still, some mortals sell their souls to fiends in order to gain more power or support.
'''Skill points:''' 6 + int modifier ((6 + int modifier) * 4 at 1st level)


Although dealing with fiends or selling souls is risky at best, the lust for power is a temptation too strong for some to resist. Yet fiends have great power, infinite life spans, and a delight for double-crossing others, so it's not surprising that most characters who ask for a fiend's aid end up on the wrong end of the deals they make.
'''Class Skills:''' bluff, concentration, [[skill changes#Modified_Skills|craft mastery]], discipline, heal, hide, [[skill changes#Modified_Skills|intimidate]], [[skill changes#Modified_Skills|leadership]], [[skill changes#Modified_Skills|lore]], move silently, [[skill changes#Modified_Skills|perform]], [[skill changes#Modified_Skills|sail]], spellcraft, spot, tumble, [[skill changes#Modified_Skills|use magic device]]


''Excerpt from The Book of Vile Darkness''
'''Unavailable feats:''' weapon specialization


=== On Demons: The Corrupter ===
'''Class feats:''' Pact, Greater Pact, Eldritch Mastery, Hideous Blow, Greater Hideous Blow, Eldritch Doom, Greater Eldritch Doom, Eldritch Spear, Greater Eldritch Spear, Beguiling Influence, Deceive Item, Devil's Sight, Leaps and Bounds, Otherworldly Whispers, See the Unseen, Eldritch Summon


The corrupter subtly brings the Abyss to the Material Plane. While it does employ temptation and lures beings into its influence with offers of favors and service, the Corrupter's nature keeps it from living up to all of its long-term bargains. While demons are known for impulsiveness, as ageless creatures, Corrupters have learned to look at least a short time into the future, recognizing that a little patience now might pay off with more chaos later.
'''Primary saving throw(s):''' Reflex and Will


Corrupters usually set up a base of operations somewhere on the Material Plane, finding or creating lairs reminiscent of their home. Indeed, Corrupter demons seek to corrupt more than just living creatures: they endeavor to change the Material Plane, and all other planes, into reflections or extensions of the Abyss. A haunted castle, a bottomless well, a labyrinthine maze of caverns hidden in a nearby hillside - any of these places could be home to a demonic corrupter.
'''Base attack bonus:''' +3/4 level


Corrupter demons do venture out into the open, but they use disguises and possession (the demon's ultimate weapon) to collect souls and change the land to benefit their masters.
:'''Note''': A [[Warlock]] summoning any '''''Evil''''' planar being using any in game spell/feat/item/etc. is exempted from [[Summoning_Changes#Alignment_divergence|alignment divergence]] hostility.


Here are a few examples of how well some kinds of demons align with the corrupter role.
===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).
:* [[Warlock]]s are able to freely select spells from the Warlock spell list.
:* [[Warlock]]s learn one (infinite) [[:Category:Spells#Cantrips|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 [[#Class_Feats_-_Dark_Invocations|Dark Invocations]]. They have specific '''Epic Pact''' feat requirements in addition to [[Warlock]] level and Spellcraft skill requirements


Archetypical: Glabrezu, guecubu, nabassu (juvenile), succubus
===Eldritch Blast===
Interesting: Chasme, dybbuk, lilitu, marilith, nalfeshnee
Unlikely: Armanite, babau, ekolid, mane


''Excerpt from Fiendish Codex I: Hordes of the Abyss''
:* '''The repeat use of Eldritch Blast (including Eldritch Spear, Eldritch Chain, Hideous Blow, Greater Hideous Blow) can be automated using [[Console_command#-warlock|-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 [[Warlock]]s. [[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.
:* [[Warlock]]s can switch between different blast damage types using the [[Console_command#-warlock|"-warlock" command]] or radial menu. Available damage types depend on the chosen Pact feats.
:* [[Warlock]]s 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)

Devils take special delight in corrupting the souls of their enemies, and Faustian pacts have proven to be among the most effective ways to lure mortals stray. Such a contract exchanges the mortal's soul for any number of possible benefits. Over the centuries, many adventurers have proven themselves susceptible to the temptations inherent in Faustian pacts, because those pacts promise the sort of powers and abilities that adventurers covet.

Devils extend two types of contracts: the ''Pact Certain'' and the ''Pact Insidious''. These terms are used only in the Nine Hells; they sound too sinister to share with prospective signatories.
===Pacts===


In accordance with folklore, each contract is a physical object, whether a scroll or a small volume bound in fine leather and edged in gold. In it are scribed the terms of the contract in amazing detail. The devil always retains a copy of the contract and, if pressed, provides a second one to the signatory. Mortals must sign in their own blood to render the contract binding.
* [[Warlock]]s 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.
 
====Abyssal Pact====
<i>Lusting after power and uncaring of - or bolder than - its perils, the warlock strikes a black bargain with the destructive agencies of the Abyss.</i>

The '''Pact Certain''' is the favored choice of all devils who deal in Faustian pacts, but it is offered only to easy marks who have already proven themselves indifferent to the fates of their souls. A Pact Certain contains language in which the mortal ''explicitly'' affirms allegience to a Lord of Hell and promises to do their will in exchange for whatever benefits are offered.
|}


The mere act of consciously assigning one's soul to a lord of Hell is, by the terms of the Pact Primeval, an irredeemably and intrinsically evil act.
=====Pact Spells (Abyssal)=====
: '''Pact'''
:: Level 1: [[Darkness]], [[Grease]], [[Protection from Alignment]], [[Ultravision]], [[Scare]]
:: Level 2: [[Bull's Strength]], [[Darkfire]], [[Lightning Bolt]], [[See Invisibility]],
: '''Greater Pact'''
:: Level 3: [[Combust]], [[Fear (spell)|Fear]], [[Magic Circle Against Alignment]], [[Poison (spell)|Poison]], [[Command]], [[Life Transference]] (3min CD), [[Strangulate]]
:: Level 4: [[Finger of Agony]], [[Haste (spell)|Haste]] (3min CD), [[Scintillating Sphere]], [[Stinking Cloud]]
: '''Epic Pact'''
:: Level 5: [[Dismissal]], [[Flame Shield]] (3 min cooldown), [[Greater Life Transference]] (3min CD)
:: Level 6: [[Chain Lightning]], [[Hell Inferno]], [[Lesser Planar Binding]], [[Mass Bull's Strength]]


A Pact Certain can be nullified only by proving that the bloody signature was extracted involuntarily through duress. According to the Pact Primeval, devils cannot reap signatures through torture or threats of force - including force against third parties. This rule does not, however, pertain to individuals who voluntarily sign a Pact Certain to ransom an imprisoned soul from Baator.
====Fathomless Pact====
<i>Guided by a thalassic patron of the world's Oceans or the Undrenzee, the warlock grasps for sinister powers originating from the blackest depths.</i>


In a '''Pact Insidious''', a devil promises to provide certain benefits for a mortal signatory in exchange for specified reciprocal favors. It does ''not'' explicitly bind the mortal's soul to Baator, nor does it require a statement of allegiance to any particular archdevil.

From the devil's point of view, such a pact is still an exercise in damnation - it is merely sneakier than a Pact Certain. A Pact Insidious allows a gullible mortal to believe he can gain the benefits of a flirtation with evil without suffering its consequences. Thus, it exploits the eternal self-delusion of the lazy and greedy.
|-

Guaranteed secondary damage: 2d6 bludgeoning.<br/>-Eldritch Summon VI / Planar Gate: New pact-specific summon skin


A contract of this type is written to deliver its promises in stages. To reap the next stage of benefits, the signatory must perform a new service for the devil. A fool who signs a bargain rarely notices until it is too late that each service incrementally nudges him toward eternal damnation. Below are the most common corrupt acts requested at each stage and provided corruption value.
|}


* Using an evil spell ''(1)''
[[File:Summon Epic Pact Fathomless.PNG|link=]]
* Humiliating an underling ''(1)''
* Engaging in intimidating torture ''(1)''
* Stealing from the needy ''(2)''
* Desecrating a good church/temple ''(2)''
* Betraying a friend/ally for personal gain ''(2)''
* Causing gratuitous injury to a creature ''(3)''
* Perverting justice for personal gain ''(3)''
* Inflicting cruel or painful torture ''(4)''
* Inflicting excruciating torture ''(5)''
* Murder ''(5)''
* Inflicting sadistic torture ''(6)''
* Cold-blooded murder ''(6)''
* Murder for pleasure ''(7)''
* Inflicting indescribable torture ''(7)''


Hidden provisions in the contract revoke the previous benefits if the mortal stops performing the specified tasks. Strict prohibitions forbid the mortal from disclosing the contents of the agreement to any third party. Though the contract does not explicitly say so, these prohibitions are meant to keep mortals away from meddlesome priests who would seek to absolve repentant signatories of their accumulated sins.
=====Pact Spells (Fathomless)=====
: '''Pact Spells:'''
:: Level 1: [[Doom]], [[Grease]], [[Resist Elements]], [[Scare]]
:: Level 2: [[Blindness/Deafness]], [[Bull's Strength]], [[See Invisibility]], [[Blur]], [[Frigid Darkness]]
: '''Greater Pact (Fathomless)'''
:: Level 3: [[Fear (spell)|Fear]], [[Invisibility (spell)|Invisibility]], [[Protection from Elements]], [[Frostbite]], [[Gust of Wind]], [[Negative Energy Burst]] (3 min cooldown)

How a Warlock is played varies from person to person, but here are some tips that apply to everyone.
|-

| Warlock 20 || CHA 18 || Greater Pact (Infernal) || Fire,<br/>Acid,<br/>Magic || Fire DI 15%,,<br/>Fire DR 15/-<br/>Acid DI 10%<br/>Acid DR 10/- || Leadership +9 || - Greater Eldritch Summon (if Warlock has an Eldritch Summon feat)<br/>- Prevents Divine Might/Shield.<br/>- Eldritch Blast triggers a lesser [[Hell Inferno]] spell which does not stack with the actual spell  (2d4 variable damage + 1d4 extra per evo focus, magic reduced by 1d6. two ticks.).


* If you are aiming to keep your identity as a Warlock a secret, be careful about using your invocations. You never know who might know enough about Warlock magic to identify you.
|}
* If your identity as a Warlock is openly flaunted, prepare to be shunned in character. Yes, even neutral warlocks. All the available pacts are made with dangerous and evil otherworldly beings.
* A devil-pact Warlock would usually be a lawful character and/or have been given some kind of code to follow by the one they made the pact with. A demon-pact Warlock on the other hand would usually be a chaotic character. These tend to be the ones who flaunt their power openly.
* Swearing fealty to X isn't the same as worshiping X. This means that you can still worship your previous deity.
* You should know X's doctrines. But there will be a difference between the "believers" in those doctrines (more like worshippers), and those who follow the doctrines because of a pact (more or less willingly).
* Hence, there will be a difference between being devoted to X (these characters will most likely blossom), and those reluctant or even defiant. The latter will most probably be mentally and spiritually corrupted (comparable to necromancers). They wanted the benefits of the pact, but are not 100% willing to pay the very high price for it.
* At the very least, it is necessary to roleplay a significant influence from the pact. Believers will blossom from it. Those who did it for other reasons will most likely constantly run into problems wherever there is a conflict between the deity he/she serves and the doctrines of X.
* 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


Warlock roleplay can be seen as a triangle of conflict between the one you make the pact with, your deity and your own selfish (and/or your community's) interests.

====Night Hag Pact====
<i>Coveting nightmarish dominion over the subconscious and the hazy beyond, the warlock strikes a pact with a Night Hag at their own peril.</i>


The Warlock is a subclass of the Bard. To become a Warlock, a character starts life as a [[Bard]], but then makes a pact with an Abyssal, Infernal or Fey entity to draw on its power. You can either find the NPC in-game that offers the pact, or you can take the pact on character creation.

A Warlock is similar to a Bard, with the following changes:
====Undying Pact====
* Bard Song is disabled (note that Curse Song is useless without Bard Song)
<i>Guided by one of those undying ancients who yet lurk the corners of creation, the warlock pursues the liminal mysteries of Life, Death and the Pale in-between.</i>
* Bardic Knowledge is disabled
* Hit Die changed to d8 (8HP/lvl)
* [[Warlock#Warlock_Resilience | Warlock Resilience]] (seen below)
* Arcane Spell Failure for Armor and Shields is reduced by 20% for pure-class Warlocks, or multi-class Warlocks with at least 6 levels in the class
* Warlocks may cast unlimited spells from a [[Warlock#Warlock_Spell_List | pre-selected list]], based on their pact (regardless of which spells are chosen at level up, only those from the Warlock spell list will be available)
* A Ranged Touch Attack must be made for any spell cast against a hostile opponent, and successful hits will inflict [[Warlock#Eldritch_Blast | Eldritch Blast]] damage (Charm Person, Dominate Person, and Darkness will not inflict damage)

When a spell is cast directly on a hostile opponent, Eldritch Blast damage of (1d6 + 1) / 2 levels is dealt to the target, along with the spell effect. Certain spells (marked below) that apply disabling or debuffing effects deal Eldritch Blast Damage of (1d3) / 3 levels to the target. While an AoE spell may affect multiple opponents, Eldritch Blast damage is dealt only to the target of the spell. Spell Resistance checks are made separately for the base spell and Eldritch Blast damage, meaning that one may penetrate while the other is blocked.

===Class Feats - Summoning===
Available Summoning Class Feats.
:* Tier 4 Summons and above are subject to the [[Summoning_Changes#Epic_Caster_Bonus|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:
::* [[Summons#Devils_.28Lawful.29|Devils]]: Lawful Evil
::* [[Summons#Yugoloths|Yugoloths]]: Neutral Evil
::* [[Summons#Demons_.28Chaotic.29|Demons]]: Chaotic Evil
::* [[Summons#Unseelie_Fey|Unseelie Fey]]: Chaotic Evil
:: '''Note:''' These summons are exempt from the [[Summoning_Changes#Alignment_divergence|alignment divergence]] penalties typical for outsider summons.

Fiendish and Abyssal Warlocks will summon alternate creatures with the Summon Creature line of spells.
|}


Greater Spell Focus: Conjuration does not increase the tier as it normally does with Summon Creature, but instead, it will raise its stats slightly. Epic levels will continue to increase the power of Summon Creature VI as per the [[Summoning Changes]]. For the exact stats of the summoned creatures, read the [[summons]] article. Warlocks cannot use the -stream command to switch abyssal/infernal summons.
== Arelith Changes ==


Warlock summons have a cooldown of (Spell Level + 1) rounds, starting the moment the creature is slain.

===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.

Warlock is a custom base class available on Arelith.


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.

Class Feats - Summoning

Available Summoning Class Feats.

  • Tier 4 Summons and above are subject to the Epic Caster Bonus.

  • Self-casting Haste also the summon now gains a 50% movement speed increase.

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.
