Rule Implications of a Transmogrified Sword In an upcoming campaign I'm planning on playing a hexblade warlock, and in an effort to circumvent some of the edgier tropes I've decided that rather than having a patron, my character will be an actual sword from Shadowfell transformed into a living, breathing man. Not necessarily a unique idea, and I don't have all the details fleshed out, but I was wondering about the in-game implications of this.

For example, what would dispel magic do? Is it better to have him be a person possessed by the sword rather than a sword itself? Basically I just want to know any kooky situations that may come up or anything I should watch out for, or even any suggestions for improving on this idea from a mechanical standpoint. Thanks!
