This weighs down the class and just takes up space on the character sheet. Could work for a specific build, but otherwise is either a wasted opportunity or is just weaker than other alternatives.

Will provide some bonus that can’t be found through other means. Often forms the backbone of a class’ look and feel.

But if you’re looking for a subclass of your own, read on and let’s find the best pick for you!Įverything in this guide has an emoji, ranking how useful a given ability or feature is to playing this class effectively.

So if you think a Warlock has to be some brooding figure in a hooded cloak with claws for hands, check your privilege and prepare to get educated.

I know at least two Warlocks with horns, and they’d melt your mind until it poured out your ears if you said they were similar.Īnd it’s all thanks to subclasses! Every Warlock will sell their soul to a different patron, which means the powers they get in return are going to vary.

Anyone who says all Warlocks look the same clearly haven’t met enough Warlocks.
