[QUOTE="thewok, post: 5363574, member: 60907"] An interesting thing came up in the WotC CharOp forum. It was pointed out that the Blade of Annihilation is not a weapon at all, as it is labelled a Warlock [I]item[/I]. It is an item that has certain properties like damage dice, proficiency bonus, etc. that [I]can be used as[/I] a weapon. Going along with this, the hexblade would not need heavy blade expertise or weapon focus, but would use the expertise and focus related to the implement used to summon the pact weapon. The text in question is: "[B]You can make weapon attacks with your pact weapon[/B], using its proficiency bonus and the appropriate damage die. Your pact weapon shares your implement’s enhancement bonus, critical hit effect, properties, and powers. The weapon cannot be enchanted." Why point out that you can make weapon attacks with the pact weapon if it already is a weapon? It is worded as if it is giving special persmission to do such a thing. [/QUOTE]
