Unlike bookish wizards, warlocks supplement their magic with some facility at hand-to-hand combat. They are comfortable in light armor and know how to use simple weapons.  \nDelvers into Secrets  \nWarlocks are driven by an insatiable need for knowledge and power, which compels them into their pacts and shapes their lives. This thirst drives warlocks into their pacts and shapes their later careers as well. Stories of warlocks binding themselves to fiends are widely known. But many warlocks serve patrons that are not fiendish. Sometimes a traveler in the wilds comes to a strangely beautiful tower, meets its fey lord or lady, and stumbles into a pact without being fully aware of it. And sometimes, while poring over tomes of forbidden lore, a brilliant but crazed student’s mind is opened to realities beyond the material world and to the alien beings that dwell in the outer void.  \nOnce a pact is made, a warlock’s thirst for knowledge and power can’t be slaked with mere study and research. No one makes a pact with such a mighty patron if he or she doesn’tintend to use the power thus gained. Rather, the vast majority of warlocks spend their days in active pursuit of their goals, which typically means some kind of adventuring. Furthermore, the demands of their patrons drive warlocks toward adventure.  \nCreating a Warlock  \nAs you make your warlock character, spend some time thinking about your patron and the obligations that your pact imposes upon you. What led you to make the pact, and how did you make contact with your patron? Were you seduced into summoning a devil, or did you seek out the ritual that would allow you to make contact with an alien elder god? Did you search for your patron, or did your patron find and choose you? Do you chafe under the obligations of your pactor serve joyfully in anticipation of the rewards promised to you?  \nWork with your DM to determine how big a part your pact will play in your character’s adventuring career. Your patron’s demands might drive you into adventures, or they might consist entirely of small favors you can do between adventures.  \nWhat kind of relationship do you have with your patron? Is it friendly, antagonistic, uneasy, or romantic? How important does your patron consider you to be? What part do you play in your patron’s plans? Do you know other servants of your patron? How does your patron communicate with you? If you have a familiar, it might occasionally speak with your patron’s voice. Some warlocks find messages from their patrons etched on trees, mingled among tea leaves, or adrift in the clouds—messages that only the warlock can see. Other warlocks converse with their patrons in dreams or waking visions, or deal only with intermediaries.  \nQuick Build  \nYou can make a warlock quickly by following these suggestions. First, Charisma should be your highest ability score, followed by Constitution. Second, choose the charlatan background. Third, choose the eldritch blast and chill touch cantrips, along with the 1st-level spells ray ofsickness and witch bolt  \n1  \nThe Warlock  \nLevel  \n1st  \n2nd  \n3rd  \n4th  \n5th  \n6th  \n7th  \n8th  \n9th  \n10th  \n11th  \n12th  \n13th  \n14th  \n15th  \n16th  \n17th  \n18th  \n19th  \n20th  \nProficiency  \nBonus  \n+ 2  \n+ 2  \n+ 2  \n+ 2  \n+ 3  \n+ 3  \n+ 3  \n+ 3  \n+4  \n+4  \n+4  \n+4  \n+ 5  \n+ 5  \n+ 5  \n+ 5  \n+ 6  \n+ 6  \n+ 6  \n+ 6  \nFeatures  \nOtherworldly Patron, Pact Magic  \nEldritch Invocations Pact Boon  \nAbility Score Improvement/Feat  \n-  \nOtherworldly Patron feature-  \nAbility Score Improvement/Feat  \n-  \nOtherwordly Patron feature Mystic Arcanum (6th level) Ability Score Improvement/Feat Mystic Arcanum (7th level) Otherwordly Patron feature Mystic Arcanum (8th level) Ability Score Improvement/Feat Mystic Arcanum (9th level)  \n-  \nAbility Score Improvement/Feat Eldritch Master  \nCantrips Known  \n2  \n2 2  \n3  \n3 3  \n3 3  \n3 4  \n4 4  \n4 4  \n4 4  \n4 4  \n4  \n4  \nSpells Known  \n2  \n3 4  \n5  \n6 7  \n8 9  \n10  \n10  \n11  \n11  \n12  \n12  \n13  \n13  \n14  ","cbCaiuxwFzUpfNb2","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuxwFzUpfNb2","pdf",1137041,14,"English","# Creating a Warlock\n## Work with your DM\n## Patron relationships and communication\n# Quick Build\n## Ability score and background\n## Starting spell and cantrip suggestions\n# The Warlock\n## Hit Points and proficiencies\n## Equipment\n## Otherworldly Patron\n## Pact Magic","[{\"question\":\"How can a patron influence a warlock’s adventuring?\",\"answer\":\"A patron’s demands can drive a warlock into adventures, or they may consist of small favors between adventures.
