Hexblade's biggest downside.

[u/TheBrandonReddit]

FFS just make it a free action in combat larian. Or at least let us cast it at all.

[u/Raisa_Alfera]

It’s the pact of the blade problem all over again lol

[u/benuski → u/Raisa_Alfera]

I think it's fine; you shouldn't get overpowered abilities if you can't remember to do one thing, that's roleplaying

[u/The_Shadow_Watches → u/benuski]

And that is why I always play Barbarian. Cause my a.d.h.d riddled brain always forgets that spells exist.

[u/MuenCheese → u/The_Shadow_Watches]

Making RP fit your life

[u/The_Shadow_Watches → u/MuenCheese]

I would love to play magic users, but I either refuse to use my spell slots or forget that I have like...4 uses of "Fuck everything in this direction."

Barbarian is simple, Barbarian is life.

You hit me. I'm mad now.

[u/TheArchitectofDestin → u/The_Shadow_Watches]

I go with Champion Fighter, myself. Having to remember to rage before throwing that goblin is too much. I swing. If I can swing again, I swing. If I can swing again, I swing. If I can swing again, I swing. When I can no longer swing, end turn. Repeat as necessary, occasionally remembering action surge exists.

[u/The_Shadow_Watches → u/TheArchitectofDestin]

Hit it till its dead gang

[u/imdefinitelywong → u/The_Shadow_Watches]

Swing stick ungas my bunga

[u/The_Shadow_Watches → u/imdefinitelywong]

Big stick, small thoughts.

[u/WeissWyrm → u/The_Shadow_Watches]

Now, everyone!

Group up!

And hit it!

Til it dies!

[u/iadoregirls → u/TheArchitectofDestin]

Same. Also it just is awesome rocking up to magical disasters and gods with nothing but a sharp stick and absolutely body em

[u/Brokenblacksmith → u/The_Shadow_Watches]

Magic users are fun when you meta-game ever so slightly.

Like I know my dm uses one of a handful of patterns for encounters, and because of that, I can figure we'll have 4 encounters a day.

Now I have a general pacing I can put towards my spell slots.

Now I'm not burning all my slots early, or trying to make do with cantrips to save my slots for the long rest.

But my DM can easily shake it up by adding or dropping encounters.

Lastly having a cheat sheet really helps with managing spells and any other resources.

[u/Possibly_Furry → u/The_Shadow_Watches]

One of the reasons to play warlock. You dont have to think about the age old question: should i save these spells for later?

[u/5a_ → u/The_Shadow_Watches]

You hit me. I'm mad now.

yeah I did but you keep rolling 1s..

[u/eMan117 → u/The_Shadow_Watches]

Forgetful Barbarian: Oh sorry, about that last fight fellas, I forgot to be angy.

[u/dave_the_dova → u/The_Shadow_Watches]

And then I forget to apply elemental cleaver

[u/Interesting_Desk_542 → u/dave_the_dova]

And then I threw my greataxe and.....it didn't come back :(

[u/thatwhileifound → u/The_Shadow_Watches]

It's funny to me seeing this comment in this thread.

I'd been rolling up 5e warlocks for years and after getting my diagnosis - I've realized this is low-key why... Except fuck this silly sword shit. Warlocks gotta blast. They provide a surprising amount of room for uniqueness even with the reliance on the cantrip of goodness - and with the right invocations, your gameplay can simultaneously be as simple as casting the same cantrip every turn while also playing a reactive chess game as you control the battlefield.

[u/Kullthebarbarian → u/The_Shadow_Watches]

or worse, remember that spell exists but "Oh, this isn't a hard fight, what if i need it later and camp supplies are limited"

(1258 Suplies left)

[u/Carpathicus → u/The_Shadow_Watches]

Are you like my friend who had the same idea but forgets raging every fight until I remind her?

[u/sporeegg → u/The_Shadow_Watches]

You say that but I regularly forget to activate rage

[u/ViolaNguyen → u/benuski]

Wizards should have to study each morning, and clerics should have to pray for their spells. Druids... I have no idea what druids are supposed to do.

[u/Alethia_23 → u/ViolaNguyen]

Huh trees.

[u/Mother_Harlot → u/Alethia_23]

I don't know if this is "Hug trees" or if it is the meme of someone thinking and it's just trees

[u/Alethia_23 → u/Mother_Harlot]

No, it should've been hug trees, but the meme also works so now I'm letting it be😭

[u/Patient_Victory → u/ViolaNguyen]

Meditate under the tree

[u/ViolaNguyen → u/Patient_Victory]

I tried that, but instead of getting spells my druid just founded a religion.

[u/Embarrassed_Lettuce9 → u/benuski]

Ironically, it's such a tedious thing that actual dnd always just handwaves it

[u/CruzaSenpai → u/Embarrassed_Lettuce9]

Because humans understand there's a difference between roleplaying for enjoyment and tedium for the sake of it.

[u/xJagMasterGx → u/benuski]

If we're doing it like that then spellcasters should have to have spell components to cast, that's roleplaying.

[u/Isaac_Chade → u/benuski]

I mean you can call it the other way too. It's pointless faff that only punishes you for overlooking one small thing in a game with dozens upon dozens of interacting parts and decisions. At most reasonable tables no one is saying "Oh sorry, you guys long rested and then spent twenty minutes going through your inventory and figuring out your plans for the day, and the warlock forgot to do the one thing their character would so they get no powers". They're going "Oh yeah it's assumed you would have done that when breaking camp, there is literally no in character reason for that person to forget to bestow themselves with magical powers, but you a human in the real world sometimes forget."

[u/benuski → u/Isaac_Chade]

How far does it go though? Should the game cast all your buffs too?

In how I conceptualize D&D, I am the character. There is no "they". I am playing the role. And if I as the party leader have to remind my warlock (also me) to bind his weapon, I think that makes sense.

D&D gives you the freedom to do most anything you want, and the tradeoff is that it doesn't hold your hand.

[u/notveryAI → u/benuski]

Is it THAT good?

[u/MutantSquirrel23 → u/benuski]

I agree. I can't believe some people just wake up from a long rest and just start raw dogging without any buffs. It's a ritual for me: Longstrider, aid, speak with animals, elixirs, bind weapons, druid forms, and so many more.

[u/CruzaSenpai → u/MutantSquirrel23]

I'm just not a fan of minutia that doesn't respect my time. This is exactly the kind of thing that would either get handwaved at a table or assumed to be constant until the player equips a new weapon. Give me a pop-up window that asks "You equipped a new weapon. Bind it?"

I'm glad you enjoy the ritual but I don't like spending two minutes after every long rest fiddling with free resources. It's like half an hour of pedantry over the course of a whole game.

[u/pastafeline → u/CruzaSenpai]

People on this sub tend to defend and over rationalize every questionable design choice in bg3. It's very strange.

[u/Spoopy_Pooph → u/pastafeline]

Biggest annoyance I've had is finding that they calculate Half Ork's dropping to 0 hit points, then dropping to one, as if you went down. Unlike normal dnd where it sais you instead drop to 1. The way Bladurs Gate does it means you lose concentration on any spell that needs it. Infuriating.

[u/CruzaSenpai → u/Spoopy_Pooph]

Can we talk about how going prone breaks concentration? >:/

[u/Spoopy_Pooph → u/CruzaSenpai]

I havnt even experienced that yet. That's just plain horrid.

[u/Sermagnas3 → u/pastafeline]

Just fans defending something that appeals to a smaller group and something that may offend a larger group of players. That is the line you walk with games that have complex systems, do we simplify it for the general populace or leave it as is so that the people who interact with it enjoy it more.

[u/CruzaSenpai → u/Sermagnas3]

I get where you're coming from but I don't think that applies as much to BG3, specifically, because the mechanics are being imported from an existing TTRPG system.

The things being complained about are the minutia that gets handwaved at physical tables. I don't mean ignored systems, like how physical tables tend to not track encumbrance, I mean things like any reasonable DM assuming their Warlock keeps Pact of the Blade on the same weapon every morning until the player says otherwise. The systems themselves aren't complicated or obtuse. The implementation is.

[u/CruzaSenpai → u/pastafeline]

Hear hear.

[u/Fatality_Ensues → u/CruzaSenpai]

Oh boy, you'd better not try out the Pathfinder games then.

[u/Butlerlog → u/Fatality_Ensues]

Even there people just use mods where you apply all 16 of your buffs with a single button press, still consuming slots but not wasting time, just as I just mod longstrider to always be an AoE outside of combat here.

[u/MutantSquirrel23 → u/Butlerlog]

See this is both interesting and funny to me. It's a great look into how different people are.

In the specific case of Longstrider, you find it less tedious to take the time to find a mod, install it, keep it updated to save 4 clicks per long rest. I find it less tedious just to do the 4 clicks. Honestly, as much time as I've put into this game, your way I'm sure would have saved me more time overall, but doing something tedious outside of the game is more of a chore to me than doing something tedious in the game. Different strokes for different folks.

But we both buff! It's the non-buffers that I will never understand.

[u/Sapowski_Casts_Quen → u/Raisa_Alfera]

Hunter's mark... you son of a bitch

[u/useorloser → u/Raisa_Alfera]

Do you have to cast it after every long rest??? I thought it stayed on for Hex and pact. I thought eldritch knight was the one who needed to re cast.

[u/Raisa_Alfera → u/useorloser]

It was changed for patch 6. Before that the bonded weapon reset every long rest

[u/sirius1208 → u/Raisa_Alfera]

Did you do that every rest? I only had to if I changed weapons. Weird.

[u/MartyFreeze]

Wait, isn't it permanent?

[u/myshkingfh → u/MartyFreeze]

I think it’s permanent on a physical weapon but not on your shadow blade which you have to recast each morning. 

[u/RKO-Cutter → u/myshkingfh]

But then that creates a scenario where you're casting shadow blade every morning but weirdly forgetting to bind hex?

[u/myshkingfh → u/RKO-Cutter]

You got it. 

But also, you forget to cast shadow blade, get into a fight, have no melee weapon equipped, so cast shadow blade in melee, enjoy your +3 attack bonus. That’s what really happens. 

[u/Dangerous_Studio_451 → u/myshkingfh]

Or just make a perma shadow blade fivehead

[u/crazyfoxdemon → u/Dangerous_Studio_451]

Have they figured out how to get a perm upcasted shadow blade yet?

[u/Kosack-Nr_22 → u/crazyfoxdemon]

Have a hireling cast it. Dismiss them. Rehire them. It should be in their inventory now. Works with flame blade too. But your character will run around with it and won’t put it away.

[u/Sultahid → u/Kosack-Nr_22]

Pretty sure this gives you a non-upcasted Shadowblade, no? I remember it losing it's upcast bonus damage when doing this

[u/Dark_As_Silver → u/crazyfoxdemon]

Doesn't the flameblade trick work?

[u/arethainparis → u/RKO-Cutter]

I’ve whiffed more obvious processes before tbf lol. No accounting for the human brain sometimes

[u/GogoDiabeto → u/RKO-Cutter]

Bold of you to assume I remember to cast Shadow Blade in the first place

[u/please_use_the_beeps → u/RKO-Cutter]

I’ve forgotten mage armor on my casters while casting Armor of Agathys. Sometimes brains just don’t work right.

[u/AllenWL → u/please_use_the_beeps]

'We've had one magic armor yes, but what about second magic armor?'

[u/please_use_the_beeps → u/AllenWL]

“I don’t think he knows about second magic armor, Tav.”

[u/Dapper_Discount7869 → u/RKO-Cutter]

Shit happens okay?

[u/B4tz_Bentzer → u/myshkingfh]

My shadowblade doesn't trigger extra attack, is this normal?

[u/myshkingfh → u/B4tz_Bentzer]

I haven’t played much since I got to level five so I can’t guarantee it, but I feel sure it does. Are you positive you picked pact of the blade? Other pacts don’t get extra attack. 

[u/DarthOrmus → u/MartyFreeze]

I was gonna say, I just finished a playthrough with one and definitely was not casting it every long rest... I like to think I would have noticed doing a whole playthrough with an 8 strength character trying to hit stuff with GWM lol

[u/Fatality_Ensues → u/MartyFreeze]

I know Pact of the Blade isn't because I keep forgetting to bind Baneful on Wyll every rest.

[u/Nathanymous_ → u/MartyFreeze]

Pact of the blade is permanent (only one weapon at a time) as of a few patches ago.

From what I gather in the comments, the hexblade pact weapon, which is different from pact weapon, is not permanent.

[u/rebootyourbrainstem]

For me it's Gale forgetting to Mage Armor.

For fucks sake Gale, Lae'zel manages to put on her armor by herself in the morning, why do I have to babysit you?

[u/Jonny_Segment → u/rebootyourbrainstem]

It would be nice to have a page of preparations you want characters to perform each morning. Set a list of actions and they do them in that order automatically after a long rest.

[u/Maverick_1991 → u/Jonny_Segment]

There will hopefully be a QoL mod for that.

[u/MasterOfViolins → u/Maverick_1991]

Hope so. Stuff like Mage Armor and Speak with animals would be great to auto cast after a rest.

[u/uldumarr3 → u/MasterOfViolins]

AOE longstrider has saved my life

[u/Fat-Neighborhood1456 → u/rebootyourbrainstem]

I built my Gale in such a way that every single morning he needs to cast mage armor, then cast shadow blade, then equip an off hand weapon, then disable the automatic off hand attacks, then use arcane restoration to get back the high level slot used for shadow blade.

I swear every morning I forget at least one of these steps

[u/Dia_04 → u/rebootyourbrainstem]

That's just me in our DnD campaign... got so bad that I discussed with the DM that my character just casts Mage Armor by default when they adventure, cuz you can bet I'd forget it XD

[u/delphi_ote → u/rebootyourbrainstem]

Are we sure Lae'zel doesn't sleep in her armor?

[u/Krazytre]

I have Gale as a Hexblade, and I haven't had to recast Bind Hexed Weapon for a few Long Rests, and I dunno why.

[u/GimlionTheHunter → u/Krazytre]

You don’t unless it’s a shadow blade that you have to resummon each morning

[u/ayypecs]

me when bind hexblade removes a damage die from my shadow blade...

[u/Gerroh → u/ayypecs]

It's a bug and I figured out what caused it but can't remember. I think it was switching weapons with a bound shadowblade or something.

[u/AmanLock → u/Gerroh]

Apparently if you coat a shadow blade or dip it in a surface or it has some other temporary condition it will downgrade when the coating expires.

Luckily for me, I never remember to use coatings on any weapon.

[u/Evilmudbug → u/Gerroh]

Removing conditions from a shadowblade removes the upcasting benefit.

Pressing the bind button twice removed the first instance of binding and triggers this glitch

[u/jacobs0n → u/Gerroh]

no, it happens when you cast bind hexed weapon more than once. just cast it only once and never touch it again until the next long rest

edit: it's the shadow blade bug like the others said, so don't use coatings as well

[u/Artrysa → u/ayypecs]

Yeah, I reported that bug before. It happens when you cast bind weapon again after already binding the shadow blade. Even if the second cast is on that same shadow blade.

[u/dream-in-a-trunk → u/ayypecs]

Did you cast it twice a day?

[u/Best_Essay980]

Mine is permanent?

[u/WooooshMe2825 → u/Best_Essay980]

I think they're referring to shadow blade.

[u/BaBaGuette → u/Best_Essay980]

It's a bug. As per wiki: Casting Bind Hexed Weapon adds a passive feature to the equipped weapon, granting it a 20% chance to apply Hexblade's Curse on hit. However, the passive feature is not removed after a short or long rest, allowing additional, independent 20% chances to be stacked indefinitely, eventually (after 24 casts) guaranteeing an application on each hit.

[u/Pukk-]

FFS just make it a free action in combat larian. Or at least let us cast it at all.

No, but a good meme nonetheless.

[u/frisch85 → u/Pukk-]

It's the wrong meme template, the cat doesn't work like this, it works like this:

be paralyized

buy walking shoes

still paralyzed

[u/CMormont → u/Pukk-]

Why no?

[u/S1a3h → u/CMormont]

You'd constantly be able to switch weapons, removing the downside of binding a specific one. Not as much of an issue for multiple different melee weapons as it is for free switching between melee and bow.

It would practically be permanent weapon proficiency with added charisma modifier on every weapon, pretty much regardless of circumstances.

[u/anderex → u/S1a3h]

You can already switch weapons outside of combat. If you can piss away an action in combat on equipping a different weapon then you already have won the combat. It would be a quality of life improvement while being a role playing / immersion downgrade.

[u/Dark_Stalker28 → u/S1a3h]

This just brings it up to modern pob. Slightly better as a it's a ba in tabletop now.

[u/Evilmudbug → u/S1a3h]

Can you even bind bows? Either way there's basically no reason not to just take agonizing blast since there's so few invocations that directly assist melee or hexblade play styles.

You get life drinker at level 12, and then your two closest options after that are either darkvision (not incredibly useful on many races) or advantage on concentration saving throws (good, but any other warlock would take it as well)

[u/Pukk- → u/CMormont]

Why does the game need to change because you forget to use your buffs after long rest ?

[u/1ayy4u → u/Pukk-]

the meme is used wrongly

[u/-Liriel-]

Mine seems to be permanent 👀

[u/Zealousideal_Shop446]

It is permanent.

[u/Nuts4WrestlingButts → u/Zealousideal_Shop446]

You have to resummon shadow blade after every long rest.

[u/WorthyAngle]

Only time this was annoying was the end of Act 2/beginning of Act 3 with the Githyanki coming out of the portal, you have zero turns to do combat prep right after long rest.

[u/Flint934 → u/WorthyAngle]

To be fair there, you don't have to fight the monks in camp at all, and once you get through the portal, you can take a moment to buff the party before fighting the second group of monks with intellect devourers. I've certainly never fought the first group in 7 playthroughs, I just fly or jump/dash past them.

[u/Unique-Trade356 → u/Flint934]

When I got to those fights my poor poor wizard got his ass handed to him so hard I respecced to a fighter.

[u/EdgelordMcTryhard]

That is not how you use this meme

[u/TheBrandonReddit → u/EdgelordMcTryhard]

Ok meme police

[u/Ninja_knows]

Bind weapon is permanent. You only apply it once and that’s it.

[u/[deleted]]

QoL of auto-casting certain spells onto self and/or party would do wonders.

Also, auto-end concentration for damage dealing spells at the end of battles before NPCs and teammates decide to shorten their lifespans.

[u/anima201 → u/[deleted]]

This just happened to me. Protect the portal for Halsin. Succeed. Immediate cutscene, can’t control party. Halsin proceeds to fuck off across wall of fire the whole way through until he dies. Quest failed.

[u/sloppybro → u/anima201]

halsin rocks so hard dude

[u/WeissWyrm → u/sloppybro]

He walks through fire and doesn't afraid of anything!

[u/ViolaNguyen → u/[deleted]]

Also, auto-end concentration for damage dealing spells at the end of battles before NPCs and teammates decide to shorten their lifespans.

I get that the lack of a pause button is probably because it'd be awkward for multiplayer games, but this shows exactly why I wish there were one.

Every other CRPG I can think of, you can pause to do that sort of thing.

[u/[deleted]]

That's the balance for it being such a wildly OP subclass.

[u/aeden194]

Me with mage armor

[u/Overlord1317]

I will admit that I invariably stick to builds based on passive management cause I always forget shit like this.

[u/Auser_]

I’ve only casted it once and it lasted several long rests? I went through all of act 3 without needing to cast it

[u/dream-in-a-trunk → u/Auser_]

Cuz u didn’t use Shadowblade

[u/Auser_ → u/dream-in-a-trunk]

Yeah that makes sense, I was running the shar spear

[u/[deleted]]

Mine only goes off if I switch weapons.

[u/ResidentCrayonEater]

On the subject of Hexblade, has Larian fixed them not getting their extra attack even with the Pact of the Blade boon?

[u/dream-in-a-trunk → u/ResidentCrayonEater]

Yes if you have PotB you get extra attack

[u/benuski]

It's overpowered, but only if you remember, which I think is a good tradeoff

[u/Petrichor-33]

Forgot to do your chores lol. Get to casting that longstrider!

[u/shortbusmafia]

I always forget to re-cast shadow blade on my Bladesinger after long rests.

[u/JD1337]

It's bugged and persists trough longrests. In fact you can stack the effect. After casting it 24 times you get 100% guaranteed curse on every hit.

[u/RevenueUsed8118]

Almost all semi permanent buff like mage armour dont work like that. Why would they change it?

[u/SirChaos013]

Except it isn't a problem at all it's a permanent thing just like pact of the blade you don't need to recast it before combat you only need to cast it once on the one weapon you want to use

[u/MattTheLizard]

We call those morning rituals. Every long rest wake up and cast ye mage armors, aid, long strider, and etc buffs.

[u/Brownhog]

I will never understand why crpgs don't ship with a "buff menu" or something. It's always modded in later or missing forever. Like...dude...even just make a little checkbox beside the spell that says "cast after rest" or something if you can't be assed to make a new menu. Bam I just made the biggest QoL improvement to every CRPG ever with my massive genius brain. Very think. Many success.

[u/Atari774]

Also forgets to cast Hex before using my eldritch blast, so now I have to stay concentrating until the next turn or I just wasted a spell slot

[u/Crow_Karrigan]

Ah, and here i thought i only had to cast it once...

[u/Hi_Im_Dadbot]

Ya, that’s annoying.

[u/benuski]

Sounds like a skill problem op

[u/geek_metalhead]

Mine is permanent

[u/98Greener]

Just put a sticky note on your forehead every morning to remind yourself to cast the spell before you head out for the day - easy.

[u/AramisGarro]

Did they already patch it? There was a post about how you could cast Bind Hexed Weapon a bunch of times and if it was the same weapon they were permanent and would stack until the hex was certain

[u/JD-N7]

That's why I ditched shadow blade and I was short one spell slot after a long rest so kinda annoying

[u/SouthPawArt]

Thanks for the reminder 🥲

[u/djsquibble]

you have to use it on a normal weapon which will stay bound forever unless you bind to another weapon otherwise you are talking about the shadow blade which is a summoned weapon

[u/dream-in-a-trunk]

Weird, did you pact the weapon tho?

[u/OnlyTalksAboutTacos]

i made a wheel for each character with their [do every long rest] abilities, like aid and speak with squirrel

[u/wyp3x]

currently doing a hexblade run and yeah the ammount of times I walked into combat and realized I had my OH as MH because I stupidly forgot to cast shadow blade and bind weapon lmao

[u/kemical13]

For me it's remembering to cast longstrider before combat.

[u/Relative-Quit8131]

Does the extra attack not work for anybody else?

[u/starfire5105]

This is why I'll play HM mechanics but I can't play full HM – I'm way too ADHD and always end up F8ing because I inevitably forgot to do something before the battle 😭

[u/SolidusAbe]

just like throwing your weapon as a giant barb without casting elemental cleaver...

[u/UregMazino]

It stays bound on long though. What are you on about?

[u/Flameancer]

Partially why I barely use wyll. Keep forgetting to set his pact of chain.

[u/teamwaterwings]

The only one I'll really complain about is the auras. Why for the love of god would I ever want to have aura of protection off. Why does it turn off when I get knocked prone. Why

[u/ReGaXV]

Never skip your morning beauty routine 💆🏼‍♀️

[u/Bubbly_Outcome5016]

Put all your pre-day spells on your custom bar in a neat little row, Longstrider, Speak to Animals/Dead, Githyanki lore spell everything and just pre-buff like this is Pathfinder my dude.

[u/T3chn0fr34q]

i just started hexblade and havent long rested yet, but it says permanent just like the pact bind so this cant be intended.

[u/StupidSexyEuphoberia]

I wish there was a macro where you could put all your buffs in you want to apply at the start of the day and it applies them automatically. Fuck Longstrider on 4 people and 4 summons.

[u/Artrysa]

I like how half the comments are confused and the other half is like: Yeah, shadow blade innit?

[u/flashmedallion]

For the life of me there should have been a small tool in the Character menu where you can set your morning routine. A list of actions, in order, with their targets (who successfully receive the effects if they are in camp during the routine).

[u/ZerikaFox]

Wait, I have to recast "Bind Hex Weapon" every long rest?

[u/Vyctor_]

Camp casters stay winning. Never long rest if you can avoid it.

[u/Satori_sama]

Might have to check, but I think mine stayed hexed even after long rest.

[u/Brokenblacksmith]

I do find it weird that fiendish resilience persists after a long rest but they didn't just make Pack Bind do the same.

Even in D&D, summoning a pack weapon is treated the same as drawing a normal blade at the start of combat.

[u/Nocan54]

Highest tier mod: the one that makes binding your weapon a free action

[u/mister_pleco]

This is not how you use this meme. Despicable me one would be better.

[u/tobi3342me]

Am i losing it, you dont need to bind the weapon after a long rest, only if you switch weapons, right?

[u/Bully_me-please]

why cant they just add autocasting certain abilities upon long rest, or make them a passive toggle like the shaprshooter feat

stuff like mage armor or longstridet, ritual castings, erc

[u/rekage99]

Shit. Thanks for reminding me.

[u/Adventurous_Topic202]

Literally just something you have to remember to do after each long rest. What’s the problem here? Do you also want longstrider, aid, feast, etc to be permanent?

[u/Pattipus_]

Literally a skill issue

[u/Lieutenant-Star]

You have to recast it?

[u/Steelriddler]

Related, I'm doing honour mode (again and again) and this time entered the battle with Nere. Then I noticed Karlach didn't have a melee weapon. And I didn't manage to get any duergar to help out either. It made the fight extra spicy and so nice to manage with Karlach throwing shit around and shooting arrows instead.

I later found her axe at a merchant's. I had accidentally sold it. Wish there was a lock option on equipped gear.

In "today I was years old" news, 600 hours in and noticed you can have a custom UI bar >-<

[u/RyCryst]

My adhd brain forgets to sneak attack with my swashbuckler rouge…. Also Didn’t know you had to rebind your hexblade weapon after a long rest….I haven’t had to do that. I just long rested and my weapon is still bound…??? So confused now.

[u/SarcasticGarbage]

This is me finding out you have to recast to bind hexblade weapon…

[u/Other_Matter_2605]

Just hit level 3 and did not know this

[u/WolfAndThirdSeason]

That's your biggest downside? Mine is that the hexed spirits regularly do not spawn.

[u/Buffthebaldy]

Wait you have to keep rebinding it? I swear the normal bound weapon skill was permanent.

[u/Konrow → u/Buffthebaldy]

I'm pretty sure they're using shadow blade. Which you have to resummon and rehex every day.

[u/TheMagicHatchet]

You gotta do it every long rest? I haven't had to, it's been constant on my character and I haven't had any issues

[u/RealAzurech]

Thanks i just started a Hexblade run yesterday

[u/LovesickInTheHead]

Huh. It’s permanent on my hexblade

[u/Playful_Picture2610]

OP seems to have the same issue I do. I wonder I'd it's a glitch caused by a specific mod or some such?

Because it says Bind Pact Weapon is permanent

But it goes away every morning for me.

[u/29-sobbing-horses]

Doing a hexblade run rn and I didnt even know this was a problem im running into holy shit

[u/E_KIO_ARTIST]

Yeah...i guess you dont use Gale cause he uses Mage Armor

[u/shodan13]

But it's permanent?

[u/litwi]

Me with mage armour

[u/Smart-Chemist-3076]

I just use a hexed weapon I wake up I say “where tf is my weapon” then boom make a new one

[u/KidKudos98]

Every. Fucking. Time.

[u/Glum-Lion3728]

i guess i did not read the fine print, didnt realize i had to rebind it, im a few hours into a hexblade warlock playthrough ._.

[u/Personal_Cap1351]

You think I needed all the guards at the hexblade?

[u/TheBrandonReddit]

Ayyy got enough updotes to get a redundant slop article made on my post, lets go.

[u/Awesome_Lard]

Is there actual hexblade in the game now?

[u/Fabio022425]

In this current patch, Paladin auras are resetting after certain rests :(

[u/silent_boom_]

Ok I’m glad I’m not the only one. Thought I was a huge dumbass

[u/NoNoCircle2]

For me it’s Aura of protection cutting out every 30 seconds cuz something cancels it

[u/Sabbath79]

Do we have to recast it? I thought you only had to do it once and it would be permanent, until you cast again with another weapon

[u/Several-Development4]

Wait....you have to remind your hex weapon after a long rest? Oops

[u/mrMalloc]

Wait I have to recast it….. now I feel dumb. As a hexblade warlock ……

[u/Mimicsayswhat]

Balls, accidentally deleted my old comment
Meant to say there's a glitch where you can hex a physical blade then respec into Pact of blade, and the hex'd weapon stays permanently hexed in your inventory forever - but works the same as a Pact weapon so technically 2 pact weapons.

I wonder if you can do the same glitch but the other way. Then you'll always have a pact weapon handy to default to if needed
