Condition: Hexed Weapon

 Hexed Weapon

• The warlock bound to this weapon is always Proficient with it.
• The weapon's damage is magical and uses the warlock's Charisma modifier.
• When the warlock attacks with this weapon, there is a chance that  Hexblade's Curse will be applied to the target.

Where to find

• Summoned by a Hexblade with  Pact of the Blade: Maul

Notes

• This pact weapon option is exclusive to Hexblades. Warlocks of other subclasses with Pact of the Blade cannot summon this weapon.

Regarding Tenacity:

• If a weapon action misses, using Tenacity does not trigger its effects.
• As Tenacity deals weapon damage even if an attack misses, it can trigger many on-hit effects from equipment. For example, from the  Gloves of Power, the  Callous Glow Ring, weapon coatings, or any infusion from the  Ring of Elemental Infusion.

Bugs

Regarding Tenacity:

• As  Horde Breaker (Melee) rolls invisible, zero-damage weapon attacks against all enemies in the Horde Breaker area of effect, Tenacity can be prompted to trigger against them even if the first attack hits. It is therefore possible to score 2 hits in one attack: the full attack against the original Horde Breaker target and a Tenacity hit against another target.
