Class Features
Otherwordly Patron
At 1st level, you have struck a bargain with an otherworldly being of your choice, each of which is detailed further below. Your choice grants you features at 1st level and again at 6th, 10th, and 14th level. The beings that serve as patrons for warlocks are mighty inhabitants of other planes of existence-not gods, but almost godlike in their power. Various patrons give their warlocks access to different powers and invocations, and expect significant favors in return. Some patrons collect warlocks, doling out mystic knowledge relatively freely or boasting of their ability to bind mortals to their will. Other patrons bestow their power only grudgingly, and might make a pact with only one warlock. Warlocks who serve the same patron might view each other as allies, siblings, or rivals.Eldritch Invocation
