Glitchiest must unpolished and annoying playstle in game. Aside from throwing being broken and with the stupid amount of buff items accessible early and a weapon that devalues this skill, throwing as an eldrich is the shittiest implementation ive played so far. Skill just fcks off half the time for no reason mid combat aside from dissapearing weapons and tons of other dumbass quirks.

The return on thrown is so underwhelming. If it added the 'Thrown' property I could see it being useful, but I can only think of 1 throwing weapon (Lightning Jabber) that is SLIGHTLY better when thrown than a normal spear and doesn't have the ability to automatically return to you.

Bound weapon seems to lose the buff after returning from being thrown (first throw), meaning you can only make one thrown attack per turn aaaand if you throw it again after, it won't return (second throw) ... Is this a bug or intended?
Weapons that have the "automatically returns to wielder" enchantment return to you no matter how many attacks you make per turn, but this buff seems to expire after just one throw.

Eldritch Knight seems to have really bad design to me… Is he supposed to be a magic caster that throwns weapon? Also, what is the point of Weapon Bond if it doesn’t grant Thrown feat to the weapon and the best weapons with Thrown feat have the “return” effect already. And casting cantrips seems a waste of extra attacks

Protip: bound weapons when thrown to start combat is a bit buggy.
If you want your Eldritch Knight to start combat, carry a couple spare daggers to chuck at the enemy.

Something you can do with bound weapon is. When you throw the weapon. It automatically equips it to your hand.
So if you bound a weapon. Then swap it. You can throw the weapon from your pocket and swap weapons.
Letting you use new weapon skills.

I miss free weapon swapping. Would be nice to have as a feat. Like once per turn you get to freely equip. Andt get. 1 str or dex.

A missed opportunity by Larian by not allowing to bind Shields. RIP Captain America fans O7

Fun note on weapon bond: It just adds the 'bound' trait to the weapon. It can then be removed and given to any character and will function as normal until long rest. It is bound to the weilder, not the caster. Have fun

Using it on thown weapons is not the only use for this feature, you can use it as well as pact of the blade feature to activate Blood-Bound Blade's magical abilities

So with the 1D4 thrown weapon damage ring and the double strength bonus for thrown weapons from tavern brawler, this could be a funny spear throwing build.
Unfortunately the delay it has to return to you kills it for me, i know i will hit space to early way to often and end up hating it.

Submit

Only weapons with the Thrown properly will deal full damage on hit when you throw them, so in reality this ability is limited to a narrow selection of weapons since the Bond itself doesn't grant your weapon the Thrown property.

With Eldritch Knight/Pact Weapon Warlock, can you bind a Pact Weapon to get a thrown/returning weapon that scales attack and damage off of Charisma modifier?

This would be better if the bonded weapon would always get the thrown attribute, otherwise i don't really see much use for it

Does anyone know if you can bind a bow?

A strength archer who doesn't fire his bow but instead just ****ing chucks it at people sounds hilarious.

Seems most weapons special effects don't work when thrown

I've seen some conflicting information regarding thrown weapons, so I just want to ask here: If you are an eldritch knight fighter with extra attack, can you throw your pact weapon multiple times?

Submit

This is a neat way to switch melee weapons mid fight. Normally, switching weapons in combat eats your action which sucks, but if you wield a non-bound weapon and want to switch just throw your pact weapon at the enemy and it'll replace the main hand weapon while still doing damage

Weapon Bond lasts until Long Rest. Do not forget to recast it after resting (I do it after short rests just to keep it a habit). Don't go throwing your unbounded spear/trident because you forgot to rebind lol.

Throwing is also a tad buggy. The Bound property is visibly removed from the weapon on the turn it is thrown but still returns. Returning takes several seconds, do not end your turn before the weapon returns or the weapon just lays there where you had thrown it and you have to pick it back up the old fashioned way. THERE IS NO RECALL BUTTON FOR BOUND WEAPONS.

Notes about Weapon Bond and Throw action:
* It takes several seconds for the weapon to return after it is thrown. DO NOT END YOUR TURN until the weapon returns. Doing so will cause the weapon to lay at its destination unbound. THERE IS NO RECALL BUTTON.
* The Bound property is visibly removed from the weapon after throwing it, do not be alarmed, it is still there. When the weapon returns on your turn you wont see the Bound status until your next turn. It is still Bound though, I tested with a potion of speed on turn based mode. The spear came back after being thrown, no property. I threw it again, it still returned without a visible property.

Sadly as of the current patch you can only have one weapon bonded at a time instead of 2

The thrown bonded weapon returns to your hand, in case you were wondering.
