Warlocks are not area of effect blasters like the evoker wizard or a sorcerer. This devotion to an eldritch being comes with a fair share of issues, so you may find yourself in tough situations where your party is wanting to do one thing but your Eldritch Patron wants another. These beings tend to be on the dark side, so your character might have a tough time getting along with a party’s lawful good paladin or religious cleric. Warlocks get their powers by dedicating themselves to an eldritch being.
