      A decent to very good melee weapon for Warlocks. An early +2 weapon, even if it's only got a 1d6 damage die, can be significant. I wish it was a AT LEAST a longsword instead of a shortsword since Warlocks don't benefit much (at all) from two-weapon fighting, and they automatically gain proficiency with whatever their pact weapon is...

        Does anyone know if baneful bond proks with eldritch blast because it says on hit and doesn't specify with what

        • Anonymous

          Doesn't seem to count as a thrown weapon which means that despite this weapon being intended for Eldritch Knights, this is not optimal for a Tavern Brawler Eldritch Knight throwing build.
