1st Level: Pact Boon

You have formed a pact with an otherworldly entity that has bestowed minor magical powers upon you. You always have the Eldritch Blast and Hex spells prepared, and you choose one of the following boons: Pact of the Blade, Pact of the Chain, or Pact of the Tome, each of which is detailed below. You determine the identity of the entity.

Each boon gives you a choice for the spellcasting ability used by your Spellcasting feature, and it gives you a pact spell that you always have prepared.

Pact of the Blade

Spellcasting Ability: Wisdom or Charisma

Pact Spell: Pact Weapon

Pact of the Chain

Spellcasting Ability: Intelligence or Charisma

Pact Spell: Pact Familiar

Pact of the Tome

Spellcasting Ability: Intelligence or Wisdom

Pact Spell: Book of Shadows

1st Level: Spellcasting

Delving into eldritch secrets and hidden knowledge, you have learned how to cast spells.

Cantrips. You know two cantrips of your choice from the Arcane spell list. Whenever you gain a Warlock level, you can replace one of your cantrips with another Arcane cantrip of your choice. When you reach 4th and 10th level in this class, you learn another Arcane cantrip of your choice, as shown in the Cantrips column of the Warlock table.

Spell Points. The Warlock table shows how many Spell Points you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a number of points equal to the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended Spell Points when you finish a Long Rest.

Prepared Spells of 1st+ Level. You prepare the list of spells that are available for you to cast. To do so, choose a number of spells from the Arcane spell list equal to your Pact Boon modifier + half your warlock level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have access to.

Changing your Prepared Spells. Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can change your list of prepared spells, replacing one or more of the spells there. Preparing a new list of spells takes time: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.

Spellcasting Ability. Your Pact Boon feature determines the spellcasting ability for the spells you cast with your Warlock features.

Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Pact Boon modifier

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Pact Boon modifier

Spellcasting Focus. You can use a Arcane Focus as a Spellcasting Focus for the spells you cast with your Warlock features.

2nd Level: Eldritch Invocations

In your study of occult lore, you have unearthed Eldritch Invocations, fragments of forbidden knowledge that imbue you with an abiding magical ability or other lessons. You gain two Eldritch Invocations of your choice. If an Invocation has a prerequisite, you must meet it to learn that Invocation, and you can learn the Invocation at the same time that you meet its prerequisite. When you gain certain Warlock levels, you gain more Invocations of your choice, as shown in the Invocations column of the Warlock table. You can’t pick the same Invocation more than once unless an Invocation’s description says otherwise.

3rd Level: Otherworldly Patron

You strike a bargain with an otherworldly being, known as your patron.

Your otherworldly patron is a specialization that grants you special abilities at certain Warlock levels. For the rest of your career, you gain each of your patron's features that are of your Warlock level and lower. This class's description tells you the levels when your patron provides features.
