Jeremy Reaban has published a good number of OSR Classes. While they say OSR on the cover they do have advancement tables for "Original," "First Edition," and "Basic/Expert" editions. So they are really quite flexible. I do note that the "Basic/Expert" table does go to level 20, so great for Labyrinth Lord and Basic Fantasy, but you will need to cut off at 14th level for Old School Essentials. Keep in mind these classes all predate OSE in publication.

All his classes, and indeed all his publications, are Pay What You Want. I like that. Given he is buying art for all of these at least pay him a couple of bucks.

PC11 - The OSR Warlock

PDF. 14 pages. Black & White cover.

This is the "new" warlock from Reaban. I'll get to the "old" one in a bit.

Essentially this is a conversion of the 5.1 SRD warlock and I am totally happy with that. You get a Pact boon and a bunch of Eldritch Invocations.

Listed are various Patrons the warlock can take. We get the Fiend, the Great Nature Spirit (this one is new), Faerie Queen (or King), the Great Old One, Elemental Prince, and the Celestial. Each gives the warlock powers and a collection of spells.

This is followed by the advancement tables (with level titles!). Warlocks get bonus damage on their Eldritch Blast for high Charisma. And the selection of spells common to all warlocks.

There are 7 NPC warlocks and some design notes. The design notes in particular discuss why this is the second Warlock Reaban has done and how the old warlock is now the Kineticist.

I'm a big fan of these OSR Classes. I'm going to plug them into my Dark Dungeons X game. They didin't include the BECMI (Cyclopedic) level advancement chart. So I have to make a 36 level chart. There was another version of the warlock, but this one is much better. This is a class that someone wants to play. I will post any comments about the Warlock.

I suck at converting 5e rules to OSR style games, but this one does everything I wanted it to do! If you like the idea of a 4e/5e Warlock class in your 0e or BX games, this is the one to get! It comes with several Level Advancement tables for 0e, 1e, BX, BECMI, etc. and compatible with those associated 'clones. So frickin handy for more than one of my OSR games!
