Pact of the Blade
Pact of the Blade summons or binds a pact weapon, which uses the Warlock's spellcasting ability modifier.
How it works
Warlocks choose one Pact Boon at level 3. Pact of the Blade lets the Warlock summon a pact weapon or bind the weapon currently wielded, making it magical. Pact weapons use the wielder's Spellcasting Ability Modifier instead of Strength or Dexterity. At level 5, the boon grants Extra Attack with the Pact Weapon.
