Great responses <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /> (I never use emoticons but this warrants it)You see how what should be a simple explanation of a rule in the PHB is in fact open to interpretation (some cool creative ones).I didn't want to quote the entire rule because of possible copyright. I saw it mentioned before. But maybe it's OK. The Mod could always ask me to edit it.I'll do what I could have done in the initial post. I may have quoted it in a reply but everyone can quote this easily now:Pact Boon choice number two is Pact of the Blade (maybe should be Pact of the Weapon) It confused me because 4e Essentials has a Pact blade instrument which not everyone would know but that's what I was expecting to read.The important 5e PHB parts verbatim pp107-108: (I highlighted)"You can use your action to create a pact weapon in your empty hand. You can choose the form that this melee weapon takes each time you create it" [...] "Your pact weapon disappears if it is more than 5 feet away from you for 1 minute or more. It also disappears if you use this feature again(?) (if they mean you can't wield two weapons at the same time they should say that imho), if you dismiss the weapon (no action required) (I replied to a post where I said you needed an action but I was wrong-FB), or if you die."Sidebar examples verbatim: "Pact of the Blade. If your patron is the Archfey, your weapon might be a slender blade wrapped in leafy vines. If you serve the Fiend, your weapon could be an axe (one or two-handed?) made of black metal and adorned with decorative flames. If your patron is the Great Old One, your weapon might be an ancient-looking spear (I forgot about that. Thanks for the reminder! -FB), with a gemstone embedded in its head, carved to look like a terrible unblinking eye."</blockquote>
