- Pact Magic
By the time you choose this martial subclass at 3rd level, your arcane research and the magic bestowed on you by your patron have given you facility with spells.
- Cantrips
- You know two cantrips of your choice from the warlock spell list. You learn additional warlock cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the warlock table.
- Spell Slots
- The Pact Warrior table shows how many spell slots you have. The table also shows what the level of those slots is; all of your spell slots are the same level. To cast one of your Pact Warrior spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a spell slot. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a short or long rest.
- For example, when you are 8th level, you have two 2nd-level spell slots. To cast the 1st-level spell burning hands, you must spend one of those slots, and you cast it as a 2nd-level spell.
- Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher
- At 1st level, you know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the warlock spell list.
- The Spells Known column of the warlock table shows when you learn more warlock spells of your choice of 1st level and higher. A spell you choose must be of a level no higher than what's shown in the table's Slot Level column for your level. When you reach 7th level, for example, you learn a new warlock spell, which can be 1st or 2nd level.
- Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the pact warrior spells you know and replace it with another spell from the warlock spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
- Spellcasting Ability
- Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your pact warrior spells, so you use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a pact warrior spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier
- Spellcasting Focus
- You can use an arcane focus as a spellcasting focus for your pact warrior spells.
- Pact of the Blade
You can use your action to create a pact weapon in your empty hand. You can choose the form that this melee weapon takes each time you create it. You are proficient with it while you wield it. This weapon counts as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.
Your pact weapon disappears if it is more than 5 feet away from you for 1 minute or more. It also disappears if you use this feature again, if you dismiss the weapon (no action required), or if you die.
You can transform one magic weapon into your pact weapon by performing a special ritual while you hold the weapon. You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a short rest.
You can then dismiss the weapon, shunting it into an extradimensional space, and it appears whenever you create your pact weapon thereafter. You can't affect an artifact or a sentient weapon in this way. The weapon ceases being your pact weapon if you die, if you perform the 1-hour ritual on a different weapon, or if you use a 1-hour ritual to break your bond to it. The weapon appears at your feet if it is in the extradimensional space when the bond breaks.
- Eldritch Invocation
When you choose this martial subclass at 3rd level, you gain one eldritch invocation from the list available to the warlock. For invocations that have a certain warlock level as a prerequisite, you can use one-third your fighter level rounded up plus your warlock level (if any) for the purposes of meeting the invocation's prerequisite.
You gain an additional invocation when you reach 7th level, and again at 15th level. Additionally, when you gain a level in the fighter class, you can choose one of the invocations you know and replace it with another invocation you could learn at that level.
- Mystic Arcanum
At 10th level, your patron bestows upon you a magical secret called an arcanum. Choose one 3rd-level spell from the warlock spell list as this arcanum.
You can cast your arcanum spell once without expending a spell slot. You must finish a long rest before you can do so again.
At higher levels, you can replace your mystic arcanum for a higher level spell. For a 4th-level spell at 13th level and for a 5th-level spell at 19th level. You regain all your Mystic Arcanum when you finish a long rest.
- Eldritch Master
At 18th level, you can draw on your inner reserve of mystical power while entreating your patron to regain expended spell slots. You can spend 1 minute entreating your patron for aid to regain all your expended spell slots from your Pact Magic feature. Once you regain spell slots with this feature, you must finish a long rest before you can do so again.
