![]() You're also giving up having any sort of spellcasting focus that would give you a bonus to hit. In order to pull off this combo, you need two specific invocations (one to give you the ability to use your pact blade as a spellcasting focus, one to let you summon a bow as your pact blade), and you need to spend a feat slot on something that (for you), realistically only does this one thing. Thus, by the rules, casting a Witch Bolt through a bow that you have summoned as a warlock will allow you to make use of sharpshooter.But it's really not worth it. Witch Bolt is a warlock spell that can make use of a spellcasting focus, involves a ranged attack roll, and does damage. It just allows you to use it as one for warlock spellsĪn item used as a spellcasting focus is being used to cast a spell, and, by extension, used to make whatever effects that spell generates. It doesn't make it into a spellcasting focus. ( Are weapons with the "Thrown" property considered a "Ranged Weapon" for the purpose of sharpshooter?) In particular, the original (UA) version of the invocation in question says ".use any weapon you summon with your Pact of the Blade feature as a spellcasting focus for your warlock spells". ![]() Indeed, even thrown weapons, when thrown, count as melee weapons being used to make ranged attacks. Weapons do not change what they are just because they are used in new and more interesting ways. By rules as written, this is technically legit.Ī bow is a ranged weapon. ![]()
