![]() ![]() Unfortunately, there just doesn’t seem to be any more information available on this subject. You can spend one minute to end the attunement and remove the armblade.Īs the first line there says, it only applies to a “one-handed melee weapon.” So while armbows are things in Eberron, they aren’t (yet?) defined in 5e. An attached armblade cannot be disarmed or removed from you against your will, but while the weapon is attached you cannot use that hand for other actions. If you’re a warforged, you can attach an armblade by attuning to it. Weapon (any one-handed melee weapon), common (requires attunement by a warforged)Īn armblade is a weapon designed to integrate with the forearm of a warforged. That said, the 2018 Unearthed Arcana article “Magic Items of Eberron” defines the armblade as follows: Armblade Unfortunately, 5e Eberron is rather difficult to pin down-they keep publishing Unearthed Arcana or test material for it, but Wizards of the Coast has yet to publish anything finalized for the setting, including the warforged race itself. ![]() 5e situation: Eberron still seems to be “in flux,” and no armbow exists (yet?) Personally, I’d call the 3.5e armbow preposterously overpriced, even before getting into the implication that it was impossible to fire more than once per round even if you were supposed to have that ability, but that’s neither here nor there.Īnyway, the existence of the 3.5e armbow establishes that attaching ranged weapons to warforged is a totally consistent and appropriate thing in Eberron-but doesn’t answer what the 5th edition rules for doing so would be. It added +2 to attack and damage (compared to the armblade’s +1), it auto-magically created and loaded ammunition (which the armblade, obviously, had no need to do), and it could automatically cast align weapon on that ammunition for the unusual price of 3 hp per shot (thanks to 3.5e’s greater power level, recovering this damage was extremely trivial by about 2nd level). ![]() On the other hand, the armbow arguably had greater functionality. However, the armbow was vastly more expensive (20,000 gp to the armblade’s 2,300: nearly an entire order of magnitude). In the 3.5 edition of D&D, the original Eberron Campaign Setting included an armbow attached warforged component right next to the armblade. But 5e doesn’t provide any rules for doing so: the armblade component is limited to melee weapons, and no “armbow” component exists in 5e. Ranged weapons can definitely be attached to warforged in Eberron we have plenty of examples of that happening in older editions of D&D. Yes, but 5th edition has no rules for doing it ![]()
