Recommended BG3 Warlock starting stats

If you don't wanna read too much into it, here's a TLDR for Warlock. This would be my answer "if I was FORCED to provide ONE SETUP" that might please as many people as possible.

It may be a bit out of topic, I highly recommend the Eldritch Blast Cantrip. Aside from that, Warlock is pretty basic in terms of starting stats. It's exactly the same as the Sorcerer, with less character creation nuances!

  • Strength: 10. Base 10 No Modifiers.
  • Dexterity: 14. Base 14 No Modifiers.
  • Constitution: 16. Base 14 +2 Ability Score Modifier.
  • Intelligence: 8. Base 8 No Modifiers.
  • Wisdom: 10. Base 10 No Modifiers.
  • Charisma: 16. Base 15 +1 Ability Score Modifier.

Your Warlock can't go wrong with maximizing CHA in the starting stats. It's your "main stat" after all.

16 CON 14 DEX vs. 14 CON 16 DEX: I've always preferred CON in these scenarios with spellcaster, and Warlock is not an exception.

Don't like negative bonuses? Will be painful. Lose some CON or DEX to shore it up. I don't recommend this.
