![]() Attuning to a magic ranged weapon as your pact weapon but being unable to use half of the Pact of the Blade feature until you take the followup invocation might be a significant enough limitation to talk your DM into allowing you to have the benefit of the text's ambiguity. Although, even after attuning to a magic bow, whenever you try to create it after dismissing it you'd still end up re-limited by the first paragraph telling you that you can only create a melee weapon, so you'd have essentially banished your magic item until you got around to taking Improved Pact Weapon. I think that the RAI is pretty clear here, but RAW, there is a definite gap. The weapon appears at your feet if it is in the extradimensional space when the bond breaks. The weapon ceases being your pact weapon if you die, if you perform the 1-hour ritual on a different weapon, or if you use a 1-hour ritual to break your bond to it. You can’t affect an artifact or a sentient weapon in this way. You can then dismiss the weapon, shunting it into an extradimensional space, and it appears whenever you create your pact weapon thereafter. You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a short rest. You can transform one magic weapon into your pact weapon by performing a special ritual while you hold the weapon. It also disappears if you use this feature again, if you dismiss the weapon (no action required), or if you die. Your pact weapon disappears if it is more than 5 feet away from you for 1 minute or more. This weapon counts as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage. ![]() You are proficient with it while you wield it. You can choose the form that this melee weapon takes each time you create it (see the Weapons section for weapon options). You can use your action to create a pact weapon in your empty hand. Emmber and Sigred are of course right that it is absolutely 100% clear that you cannot create a ranged weapon Pact weapon, but that isn't what you're asking. Rule303, you're right that Pact of the Blade is worded a little ambiguously about whether the melee weapon limitation applies only to created weapons, or also to limit the sort of magic weapon that you can treat as your Pact weapon. ![]() Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverseĭescent into the Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth
