DC20 Class: Warlock
Warlock
Warlocks make a pact with a powerful entity that grants them magic. Their body and soul are a part of this contract and as such, they can tap into their own life force to enhance and amplify their magic and capabilities as well as drain the life force of other living creatures as well. They also choose a type of pact to be made giving even more benefits based on the pact chosen.
Source of Power: Warlocks gain their power through a pact with a powerful entity. By making a deal with this entity (and following the conditions), they gain access to magic that they can channel as their own. Unlike a Cleric (who believes in, follows, and has a true relationship with their deity), Warlocks simply make a deal and have more of a transactional or business relationship with their patron. Pacts can be made with all sorts of entities of all ranges of power levels as well, such as gods, devils, fey creatures, other worldly beings, dragons, and even other powerful Warlocks.
