How Many Spell Slots Does a Warlock Get?

A warlock is a spellcaster who drAWS power from an otherworldly patron, most commonly a demon, fiend, or Great Old One. A warlock might lead a cult dedicated to their patron or might be part of a larger organization such as the College of Shadows.

Eldritch blast is a signature ability of the warlock, and many of their invocations are based around improving this cantrip or making it more versatile.

At higher levels, a warlock gains access to more powerful and versatile features, such as the ability to cast spells in armor, summon fiendish servants, and even tap into the power of their patron to fuel their spells. A warlock’s spellcasting is reliant on two things: their otherworldly patron and the number of spell slots they have available.

The number of spell slots a warlock has access to scales as they level up, giving them more options in combat and out of it.
