Message: <blockquote data-quote="Siran Dunmorgan" data-source="post: 4775724" data-attributes="member: 39268">It's pretty clearly not a mistake.It's implemented in the Character Builder, allowing an arcane character to select Wand, Staff, Orb, Rod, Dagger, heavy blade group, or light blade group as their new implement.When the weapon is equipped, the bonus is correctly added in: for example, I just built a Tiefling Infernal Pact Warlock with Arcane Implement Proficiency (heavy blade group), equipped him with a Vicious Scythe +1, and the Character Builder adds the scythe's +1 enhancement bonus to his warlock powers.This also seems to apply to weapons that normally require a proficiency feat: if I switch to longsword (which is not normally a weapon with which a warlock has proficiency), the sword's bonus is still added in for warlock powers—e.g. Eldritch Blast— but not its proficiency bonus for melee basic attacks.Switching to a group that was neither a warlock implement nor a weapon with which warlocks have proficiency—a Fleshseeker Net +1—the Character Builder did not acknowledge its use as an implement.So, I'd say that using Arcane Implement Proficiency with bladed weapons is official, and not a mistake.Of course, having one's Infernal Pact Warlock using a scythe as an implement is all kinds of picturesque.—Siran Dunmorgan</blockquote>
