[QUOTE="jaelis, post: 7459196, member: 60210"] I guess it comes down to two story concerns: first, I feel like making an item into your pact weapon involves a bond between it and your patron, which brings in story complications that you may or may not want to deal with. Whether that is an issue for you depends on how you think about pact weapons. Second I do think it bypasses the item conflict rules. The item can only use its powers to influence it's wielder, and you don't have to wield it to make it your pact weapon. (I agree it is not much different here from, say, using the demiplane spell to hide it. But the pact blade effect is available at will, for free, at third level. And the hiding space is entirely inaccessible to others unless you think the patron can get involved.) Anyway, those are the things that bother me, if they don't bother you then it isn't a problem and you can probably ignore that rule :) [/QUOTE]
