The Warlock
Warlocks are occult astrologers, diabolists, and spellswords in pursuit of nefarious magic. Warlocks must choose neutrality; they cannot takes sides the eternal struggle and must maintain their arbitrary disposition or be stripped of their spell casting powers.
In conducting their practices warlocks are allowed the use of leather armor (and also light mithril-type mail) and protective helms as well as daggers, spears, staves, swords, and short swords.
In combat a warlock uses the cleric's attack matrix. They have use of magic items employable by magic-users and anti-clerics, as well as enchanted spears and swords. They construct magic items as do magic-users.
