Warlocks a lot better in bg3 than in actual dnd because you can actually take short tests😩

[musiccommands]

Based. Warlock was my first class i played!

At level 5 Casting 6 fireballs before a long rest really appealed to me :)

Not to mention the Hex interactions with multi-hitting spells like scorching ray.

"You see a small child"

Eldrich Blasts honest reaction:

A wiser DM once said to me. "There's power in constraints and limitations, if you were able to do everything, in the end you end up doing nothing. Half the fun is overcoming said constraints and doing something great even with said limitations"

I like the presentation of Wyll as a warlock who is, in every other way, a swashbuckling hero-by-choice-not-circumstance, running around the Sword Coast with a rapier and bravado. But he also taps dark magic and feeds the souls of his victims to his succubus master. Really, he should have been an Archfey pact.

[Rewwgh]

Playing Pact of the Tome Warlock with a Noble background currently and it's been a blast! But I think I should have probably gone with the Archfey patron instead of Fiendish one. 😅

[wavytoad]

A warlock/rogue multiclass can dominate every charisma roll, steal, sneak and critical hit without ever being seen. OP as hell

[allrequiredfields]

This sounds really appealing to me because the whole only getting to use a spell once per rest is probably my least favorite part of true d&d. I much prefer the mana for magic so this seems like probably the best choice for me.

[forsaken]

Oh I cannot wait for the PS5 release in September. So juiced for a game that is feature complete with no micro transactions, battle pass or in game currency. Warlock is what I'm leaning towards as my first character 😈

[burokkori]

For my second warlock playthrough I am getting 3 levels of thief and 7 levels sorcerer to twin spell haste and use the extra bonus action and metamagic points to edritch blast 4 times per turn.

[commanderroddi]

Warlock: HEX, the eldritch blast. Works in D&D, works in BG3.. can be a great blaster too. Fiend patron one.

[alteragosagin]

After almost 70 hours I can say that best thing about warlock is multiclass with paladin/fighter and packt of the blade

[emeraldsky]

I understand wholeheartedly why they didn’t, but I wish there was some patron interaction for custom characters, considering the whole premise of warlock. I might as well just play a sorcerer at that point, which stings more considering how involved Mizora is, yet still relatively in the background.

[NieroshaiTheSable]

I didn't look to see if BG3 kept this in, but... everybody forgets that warlocks get ALL their spell slots back after every SHORT rest.

[Vanille]

You should make a guide for bard.I'm in my first play through I'm playing a bard and holy crap it's hard to strategize what to use of the amount of buffs/spells and heals It's a lot with the little actions you can do per turn. But if you play right they are amazing. I was stuck between this class or bard to play for my first time I think once I'm done I might try this class out.

[topbakka]

True. I can't be bothered to read what the spells do I'm a warlock now, I got a patron to please and I ain't got that kinda time.

[Tiltigo]

And a very good Eldritch Blast to you too, sire.

[changer_of_ways_]

Eldritch Blast + Faerie Fire + Spell Sniper = Easy Mode

Also Friends as second cantrip for dialogue easy mode.

[proverbialking]

Tbf there is not much reading involved in BG3 when it comes to spells. I kinda wish they went into more details on the function of each spell instead of just a synopsis.

[SeanPS]

I really loved the addition of bound weapon specific, magic weapons.
