As an outsider - can someone explain the warlock one to me?

[–] Katzastrophe@feddit.de 74 points 10 months ago (4 children)

Warlocks make pacts with powerful beings to get their magic, mostly demons

[–] HeartyBeast@kbin.social 20 points 10 months ago

Thank you, and thank you to all the others who answered. I am now more cluefull

[–] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

Ironically, a bunch of their potential patrons are typed as outsiders...

[–] Cylusthevirus@kbin.social 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Hey now, they also pact with Fae, ancient outsiders, and even Celestials!

Or the fucking sword

Does this mean that if I hire a wizard to do magic stuff for me, I'm a warlock?

[–] sibannac@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

it's more like renting the magic from the wizard.

Warlocks obtain their powers by making a pact with and otherworldly entity (Archfeys, Demons, Lovecrafttian horrors, etc...)

[–] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago

Sorry, can't. I'm only humanoid and don't have a way to change that.

A warlock gets its magic by forming a pact with a magical entity like a god, devil or powerful demon.
