[QUOTE="Van_Guardian, post: 7404692, member: 6950348"] I have been wondering the same thing, but after reading through your thread I think you could go about achieving this a different way. If you were to choose Pact of The Blade as your Pact Boon it would give you the ability to apply these benefits to your Pact Weapon. (As you mentioned) [U]Hex Warrior[/U] "If you later gain the Pact of the Blade feature, this benefit extends to every pact weapon you conjure with that feature, [I]no matter the weapon’s type[/I]..." Then the question becomes, "Can your choose to summon your Pact Weapon in the form of a Shadow Blade?" Though they are two different spells I would argue that they can work together. [U]Pact of the Blade[/U] "You can [I]choose the form[/I] that this melee weapon takes each time you create it..." I would say that you could use your Action and Bonus Action to summon a Shadow Pact Weapon. Using your Action to summon your Pact Weapon and also using your Bonus Action to summon it in a Shadow Blade form. (Maybe a shadowy form of the weapon you normally summon) The wording seems to allow for this in saying: "No matter the weapon's type..." & "You can choose the form..." Also, the fact that one is an Action and the other is a Bonus Action would allow them to flow together. Therefore, as long as you use your Concentration keep the summoned weapon in its shadow form you could utilize the benefits of both for the duration of Shadow Blade. [/QUOTE]
