Warlock

Base Class #

Warlocks are seekers of the knowledge that lies hidden in the fabric of the multiverse. Through pacts made with mysterious beings of supernatural power, warlocks unlock magical effects both subtle and spectacular.

Special abilities & feats #

Warlocks are unique across spellcasters. They do not need to rest to restore their spell slots, but they only have a very limited amount of slots. The Warlock slots scale with the Warlock level, and each spell cast from the Warlock will always be cast at the currently unlocked spell slot level. These slots recharge naturally during the day, with a decreasing CD. The CD decreases the more the Warlock advances and gains new levels. Warlocks are arcane casters, but can wear Light Armor and Small Shields without risking spells failure.
