How to learn

Classes:

• Class level 3: Eldritch Knight

Notes

• This applies only to the weapon held in the caster's main hand.
• Only one weapon can be bound at a time. Attempting to bind another weapon causes the previous to be unbound.
• Works only with melee weapons.
• Outside of a long rest, this effect persists even if:
  • the weapon is given to another character
  • the caster is removed from the active party
  • the caster respecs with withers to another class
• For example, you can acquire a hireling, select the Eldritch Knight subclass at level 3, apply this to another character's weapon, hand it back to them, remove the hireling from the party and then respec the hireling to another class entirely. This effect is well-suited to thrown weapons given to characters that utilize the tavern brawler feat.
• KEY NOTE, binding a weapon does not grant it the  Thrown property if it does not already have it. Only weapons with the Thrown property will do their full weapon damage including any added elemental effects such as from the Flawed Helldusk Gloves; otherwise they will only do basic damage of an Improvised Weapon based purely on their weight.
