Magus Bladebound & enchanting the Black Blades


Rules Questions


About Magus Bladebound Archetypes:

The 'enchantments' that you put on your blade are pretty cool (especially between the both sets of class features). However, they are fairly limited, in a sense. What if I want to put 'Holy' or 'Bane' on my Black Blade? Am I just not able to? Or if I'm able to, how does that work?

Unlike the Magus core class 'Arcane Pool' feature which says it 'stacks' with any exsisting enchantments, and what have you. The Black Blades weapon just says it advances like 'X.'

Thanks!

you can still use the arcane pool to enhance the black blade, although you can't add any properties until 5th level.

would be nice to be able to exchange the enhancement bonus on the black blade for some abilities though...

Right, but is the Black Blade unenchantable? So, since 'Bane' isn't on either the Magus "Arcane Pool" or the Bladebound "Energy Attunement" lists; does that mean I can't go over to Bob the enchanter & have him put 'Goblin Bane' on my Black Blade?

the search feature is your friend. there are several other threads on this...

i believe there is a split concensus.

overall i say no. it would change the ego of the weapon, and there is no way to determin what the ego would be becaus the blade specifically has a unique ego progression.

thats what spells, a scabbard of keen edges, and a few other things are for
