The Phantom Blade has a lot to it, seeing as its entry is about as long as the bladebound magus entry. Here are some of the more exciting bits I wrote into the archetype:
1. You have no phantom at all, but have the phantom blade at 1st level. No waiting for 3rd level for your weapon.
2. The weapon is ectoplasmic, which means it is always a ghost touch weapon.
3. The weapon can be any weapon with which you are proficient. Are you an elf? Take an elven curved blade! Want a bow? Sure!
4. The ectoplasmic nature of the phantom blade means it's malleable. If you need to change damage types, you can eventually change the shape of your weapon to something better.
Just for some clarification, the weapon can BE any weapon with which the phantom blade is proficient, but does that mean that the class features FUNCTION with any weapon? So, can a phantom blade use spell combat and spellstrike with a 2h melee weapon? What about with a ranged weapon?
