Warlock PactHexblade Pact“Behold! A gift from my master! Let me share it with you.”

The Hexblade is an additional pact option for the Warlock, that can be chosen at 3rd level. Similar to the Pact of the Blade, this pact allows you to use an action to create apact weapon in an empty hand. The form this weapon takes is associated with your patron. These forms are described later in this supplement. If a patron has more than one pact weapon associated with it, you choose one that remains associated with you. You are proficient with the weapon, and it counts as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

Your pact weapon disappears if it is more than 5 feet away from you for 1 minute or more. It also disappears if you use this feature again, if you dismiss the weapon (no action required), or if you die.

In addition, you learn a new cantrip associated with the pact weapon form you chose.
