What Race are Warlocks?

One of the most intriguing features of the Warlock class in Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition is that they can be played without a specific racial requirement, unlike other classes. They are the perfect embodiment of a societal outcast who has made a pact with some kind of otherworldly being, be it demonic, fey, or divine. This flexibility when it comes to choosing race is what makes Warlocks so unique and appealing, but it can also confuse players who are new to the class.

Arguments for Best Warlock Class

In a recent Redditors discussion, commenters shared their arguments and favorite Warlock races:

• Duergar: Invisibility spam is a powerful ability, ensuring you can slip in and out of combat unnoticed while saving throws against illusion and charm can prove useful given the Warlock’s association with deception and manipulation
• Halfling: Crit failure protection protects against the random nature of Warlock spellcasting which is crucial, especially on the battlefield where one minor miscalculation might be the difference between win and loss
• Asmodeus: Obtaining free Hellish rebuke and darkness spells in your arsenal provides an advantageous position in combat, often proving decisive
