Can a Blackblade read a tome of intellect


Rules Questions


Can a magus archetype's Blackblade (the weapon itself) benefit from a tome of intellect?


I dont think so because it isn't a person...

The tomes state anyone but I don't think it applies to objects.


Can intelligent constructs benefit from a Tome of Vast Intellect? They are both 'an object' and a 'person'.

A black blade is aware of everything around it like a creature that can see and hear. It can be blinded and deafened as if it were a creature.

Seeing as intelligent items have a mental stat and are said to be treated like NPCs, I could see this being ruled as allowed. It does say 'anyone', but it doesn't require them to actually be a person or even humanoid in nature. It also says to treat them like a construct, but seeing as most constructs are mindless, this doesn't really count.

End all, its up to your GM. If you really wanted to give up the bonus from the tome to your INT as a Magus and give it to your weapon, I wouldn't stop you.
