Pathfinder 1E Is There An Official Warlock Conversion?

This is one thing I love about Pathfinder - because they are publishing under OGL, they HAVE to make their rules OGL too. No proprietary rules here. Towards the end of 3.5, this was a major problem - there was so much non-OGL stuff out there than the game as a whole could no longer be said to be OGL and couldn't be used for new OGL projects.

You are not quite right. They only have to make those rules directly fashioned off of OGL material OGL. They have published plenty of stuffy they could have been proprietary about, but aren't.

There's not an official one out there, no. However there are a number of fan-made conversions available.

This one appears on the EN World forums.

I play in a monthly Pathfinder game, and this is the one I use. It sticks to the original design of the Warlock in Complete Arcane, but ups it to better match Pathfinder's level of power. You'll also find the Artificer, Warmage and Wu Jen there, but I don't know if they're any good. I will say, however, that I've had no trouble keeping up with the pure Pathfinder classes in our game. I've never felt as if I'm lacking any skills or outright power (though, my party members sometimes wish I were an actual wizard or sorcerer instead of just posing as one).
 

The Invoker was mentioned.

Into the Breach: Oracle has a Warlock alternate class. I think it is a bit overpowered (maybe more than a bit) but it is an interesting take on the warlock.

Christina Styles' Strange Brew Ultimate Witch and Warlock Kickstater (book isn't out yet, but I'm a backer and get to see some of the material) has a pretty nice Warlock in it.

Interjection games has the Ethermancer - it's a complete reboot of the idea with some really detailed mechanics. Complete flavor change, but if the main thing you liked about the Warlock "I blast it" this is a great class.

I want to say there is another take on it, but I can not bring it to mind.

In the upcoming Occult Adventures book Paizo has said there will be a "kenitecist" class - think Pyrokinect, telekinetic etc. It is a non spell using class that can blast all day. So it has a similar idea.

Of all the ones I've seen, the one closest to the old 3.5 is the playtest for the Strange Brew.. but it isn't out yet. But I'd keep on the lookout for it. :D
