If you do, roll your pact weapon’s damage die. On a hit, the target takes force damage equal to the result instead of 1d10 force damage. If you create multiple beams when you cast Eldritch Blast, you can choose for each beam whether you want to make a ranged spell attack or a melee spell attack.There. Bladelocks no longer have to choose between using their pact weapon or benefiting from Eldritch Blast and its enhancement Invocations, and they get full EB attack scaling so they get just as much benefit out of Hex. And since it’s a melee spell attack instead of a melee weapon attack, they don’t have to split between Charisma and Strength or Dex, but it also doesn’t benefit from spells and abilities that proc on melee weapon attacks, so its less abusable with multiclassing. It also keeps it from stacking with Thirsting Blade and Lifedrinker, so if you want to go that route you still can and it won’t break anything.</blockquote>
