I'm trying to make a custom magic melee weapon that would be a little bit of flavor for spell casters. I want a melee weapon they could swing if they so chose using a different stat than Strength or Dexterity. I've been playing with the custom magic item maker on the site for a while now but I can't seem to figure it out. I know I can do it on the character page customizing the weapon in the equipment section, but I would like it give it to my players without having to worry about that. Is it possible to change the primary stat in the custom magic weapon screen?
(Yes, I know the druid cantrip that I won't try to spell here does the thing I'm looking for. But I don't want to give them a spell they have to cast, I just want a weapon that can override the primary stat.)
There is not a modifier for this. There are no weapons that use an ability besides STR or DEX, and the few class features that do have it hard coded in.
Maybe after the homebrew revamp (since this is pretty frequently requested).

In the homebrew magic weapon builder under "Modifiers"
edit "Bonus - Magic" and change the entry "Ability Score" to WIS or CHA

strange, it worked when I tried it on my bard with CHA, but somehow not with WIS...
