This is Game Theory. Today we're talking about the Warlock — D&D's most misunderstood class. Now let's get into it.
The Warlock's Core Fantasy: • Power through pacts, not study or devotion
• You've bargained with something ancient and dangerous
• Every spell comes with strings attached
Patron Types: •
The Fiend: Devils and demons, fire damage, temporary HP
• Great Old One: Cosmic horror, telepathy, mind manipulation
• Archfey: Feywild trickery, misty escape, charm abilities
• Celestial: Divine light, healing, radiant damage
• Hexblade: Shadowfell weapons, melee combat, charisma attacks
Pact Magic Mechanics: • Limited spell slots (max 3 at level 11)
• All slots cast at highest level
• Full recharge on short rest
• Kings of short rest parties
Eldritch Blast Mastery: • Best damage cantrip in the game (1d10 force)
• Scales to 4 beams at level 17
• Customizable with Eldritch Invocations
• Agonizing Blast, Repelling Blast, Eldritch Spear
Pact Boons (Level 3): •
Chain: Enhanced familiar for scouting and attacks
• Blade: Summoned weapon for melee combat
• Tome: Extra cantrips and ritual spells
Combat Strategy: • Hex for consistent 1d6 bonus damage
• Eldritch Blast as baseline DPR
• Save spell slots for big plays
• Efficiency over raw power
Multiclassing Synergies: • Paladin/Warlock: Short rest smite slots
• Sorcerer/Warlock: Quickened double Eldritch Blast
• 2-level dip for any class
Roleplay Potential: • Built-in story hooks through patron relationship
• Moral dilemmas and loyalty tests
• Living with the consequences of your deal
