📋 About This Mod
Ever wanted to use a bow as a warlock? Arrows materializing from your patron's magic as you draw the string? Infused with great power? (your charisma modifier)
Well now you can, this is a build that is normally possible in 5E, but we never got the possibility in BG3.
What this mod does
Hexblade Bind and Pact of the Blade Bind now work on both the Main Hand Melee weapon and Main Hand Ranged weapon simultaneously.
Pact of the Blade now allows you to summon a Pactbound Longbow.
Thus, this lets you have one bound weapon of each, one melee and one ranged, plus one Pactbound weapon existing at the same time.
Now regarding any questions
Q : Does this only work for bows?
A : No, this should work for any ranged weapon placed in the Main Ranged weapon slot
Q : Using the Bind spell to bind a weapon always unsummons my Pactbound weapon, why?
A : Honestly I have no idea, if you bind a weapon first then summon the Pactbound weapon they both coexist even in vanilla, but in this order the Pactbound weapon is destroyed and I can't do anything about it.
Q : It says Pact of the BLADE and HexBLADE are you really going to make it work for RANGED weapons?
Q : "I asked ChatGPT" "I asked Grok"
A : Well I asked my patron and they said that you should surrender your souls to me... or leave a nice comment if you like the mod.
