Invocations List
Warlock invocations are extra abilities that the warlock gets at levels 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 12, 15, and 18.
If an invocation has a level prerequisite, the warlock must have that number of warlock levels to take the invocation. When you gain an invocation, you can pick any invocation you meet the requirements for.
When you gain a warlock level, you can choose one of the invocations you know and replace it with another invocation that you meet the requirements for. If you replace an invocation, you lose all benefits from that invocation. You cannot replace an invocation that is the prerequisite for another invocation or feat you possess.
Invocations are sorted by prerequisite on this page.
