Warlocks are seekers of knowledge that lies hidden beneath the veil. Making pacts with mysterious beings of supernatural powers, Warlocks unlock magical effects both subtle and spectacular.
Where Wizards draw their magical power from study and Sorcerers from magical bloodlines, Warlocks gain power through a pact with a powerful patron: a fiend, perhaps, or some other powerful entity. The nature of a warlock's powers varies depending on the nature of the patron and the details of the pact.
Warlock class was introduced in the Inner Strength DLC.
