: Warlock Spells are '''Always Prepared'''. In exchange, Warlocks know fewer Spells at low levels.
; [[Pact Magic]]
: Warlock spell slots (also known as "pact slots") are not like those of other spellcasters.
: Warlock spell slots are equal to the highest level of Spells the Warlock has access to. Casting a lower level Spell will always "upcast" it to the highest level available.
: Warlocks have a very limited number of spell slots, but also regain those slots by taking a [[Short Rest]] or [[Long Rest]].
: As a result, Warlocks can cast fewer Spells per battle than other spellcasters, but also more high level Spells per day.

Warlock is a character Class in Baldur's Gate 3.

Overview[edit | edit source]

Warlocks channel their patron's pact magic to fight enemies and aid allies in combat. Warlocks use Charisma as their primary ability score.

Subclasses[edit | edit source]

The Warlock Subclasses are:

Class Progression[edit | edit source]

Class information[edit | edit source]

Known spells
For a list of spells available to the Warlock, see: List of Warlock spells.
Warlock Spells are Always Prepared. In exchange, Warlocks know fewer Spells at low levels.
Pact Magic
Warlock spell slots (also known as "pact slots") are not like those of other spellcasters.
Warlock spell slots are equal to the highest level of Spells the Warlock has access to. Casting a lower level Spell will always "upcast" it to the highest level available.
Warlocks have a very limited number of spell slots, but also regain those slots by taking a Short Rest or Long Rest.
As a result, Warlocks can cast fewer Spells per battle than other spellcasters, but also more high level Spells per day.
