warlock spell slots....

[CheekiBreeki]

why every time i try to cast with my level 1 warlock spell slot it uses my wizzard/paladin one? thought it might fix upon getting warlock to level 3 and unlock level 2 spells but all that did is remove my level 1 warlock spell slots??!? what the ♥♥♥♥ is wrong with warlock atm??

they have less spell slots that regain on short rest. no restriction on spell levels, they always cast at max spell level.

Your slots are still there they just got a little larger.

damn that so lame why would it remove my lower level spell slots having 2 spell slots at level 3 is so dumb. some of the level 1 spells have non combat uses and are more utility spells so who cares about casting them at level 2. hopefully mods hit this game soon

There's some bugginess when you multiclass a warlock with any other spellcaster.

Warlock spells are supposed to always use one of your warlock spell slots (which you have only a few of, and are always at the highest level your warlock can cast - so you don't really have slots of different levels for warlocks).

But if you have spell slots from other classes, even your warlock spells will prefer to use those slots rather than your warlock slots. When all your other slots are used up, it will switch to using your warlock slots instead.

That's just how Warlock works in 5th Edition D&D. Larian copied the rules over almost 1:1 so blame Wizards of the Coast.

Larian COULD have done a much better job at adding some kind of Encyclopedia for players like you who have no idea what the rules actually are or has never played D&D 5E before but they didn't and I understand your confusion.

Warlocks are the only class that has slots that return after a Short Rest. Giving them extensively more lasting power in between your Long Rests.

Warlocks also get a considerable number of freebie spells and abilities through their Patron in the form of Invocations as they level up.

Warlocks are ALSO the only class where every one of their spell slots "upgrades" every few levels to keep their spells always casting at the maximum level.

Those utility spells? You can still use them with a higher spell slot, then take a short rest. Spell slots restored. Problem solved. Continue with your adventure.

Look for Invocations that grant you better utility so you can replace those spells with better things.

This is the strategy of Warlocks.
It may not be for you and other classes might work better instead of following the "Paladin/Warlock Multiclass Meta"

Yes and no.

Yes, it's intentional that warlocks only have one level of spell slot, rather than slots of each level like other spellcasters.

What ISN'T intentional is that a Warlock / Spellcaster multi-class will preferentially use the other class's spell slots for casting if they are available.

For example, if you have a Warlock / Bard, both with level 2 spells, you can't actually use any of your Warlock spell slots until you've completely exhausted your bard spell slots. It won't matter if you are trying to cast from the warlock or bard spell list, it will use bard spell slots if available, and only switch to warlock when they are out.

In "real" 5E, a warlock / bard would work like this:
* Warlock spells will always be cast using a Warlock spell slot. They are always upcast at the highest level of spell available.
* Bard spells will always be cast using a Bard spell slot. They can be cast using a spell slot of the correct level.

In Baldur's Gate 3, a warlock / bard works more like this:
* Both Warlock and Bard spells will use a Bard spell slot, if there is one of the appropriate level available.
* If there is no Bard spell slot of the correct level available, both Warlock and Bard spells will be cast using a Warlock spell slot.

I understand THAT part. I meant that's just how Warlocks work as it applies to spell slots leveling up with Warlocks.

That rest, not being able to use them for other classes spells, seems like a bug then, not an intended feature. If it WAS intended then the game wouldn't let you cast non warlock spells with Pact Magic slots even after using all Spellcasting slots. Since the Spellcasting and Pact magic features are different. Unique.

This, hopefully, messed up what Larian intended and wasn't the actual result they were going for. The 5E rules state they SHOULD be interchangeable, but since Larian hasn't released an Encyclopedia of class ability and spells and how features work like I have suggested in a different thread...we will never know.

I hope they fix it or otherwise make some clear indication that this is what they intended. Which would suck.

Just ask them your question on an independent account and bump every week.

i think you can click on the representation of warlock spell slots and the window will change to the spells you can cast from it.

This also isn't entirely correct. In tabletop 5e you can choose what spell slots to use, you can absolutely cast Warlock spells with your bard spell slots, and vice versa.

Preferences shouldn't be hard coded into the spell slut system - the slut you choose should be the slut you use.

i mean its just lame being able to only cast 2 spells a fight. period. Idk what ur talking warlock spell slots "upgrading" cause on wizzard level 3 i also got 2+ level 2 spells slots ontop of more level 1 spell slots which i assume unlike this retarded ♥♥♥♥ actually get more and more of each spell per level. who cares if my level 12 warlock has 4 level 6 spells when a wizzard/sorc has probably more level 6 ones 8 level 5 10 level 4, etc. like what are you u on about...

Hello, I'm from 2024, has this been fixed yet? All my googleing has turned back outdated results.
