PrC help

[Galadorn]

Of course.












and... of course... the inevitable nerf approaches. They just can't allow us to have so much fun without ruining it!

[Adanu]

YOu can't really roleplay out your sword having a spell in it, after all :p

I dunno.

Magic, and enchantments on weapons, seem pretty common in the FR.

There's a difference between enchantments, and an actual spell in your weapon.

There's a difference between enchantments, and an actual spell in your weapon.

You would have at least some options: people frequently try bad/inefficient solutions before getting good ones. Perhaps a spellsword hopeful would invest in weaponry that has command word or spell trigger spells on them: "This here is my acid arrow sword; it works on charges. Maybe that was a bad idea! This here is my burning hands sword; it's use per day... which I guess is nice, but it's hard to fight and aim at the same time."

And then as bonus cookies, you've demonstrated a serious investment in the concept, and can help explain the character's eventual getting better at it (if the PrC is ever implemented) with his having learned from his earlier mistakes. And if the PrC never gets implemented, you still have swords that shoot fire and acid and cool stories to tell.

// edit-- double bonus cookies: get a sword with ghost sound; that way both readings of that last sentence work.

This assumes I have the coin to spend on such things

I did suggest some relatively cheap options. A charge of spell trigger acid arrow in a bad slot is 135 gold, and burning hands 1/day on a bad slot is 540 gold.

But yeah, not every character is going to have a lot of liquid wealth. Might have to fiddle and fenagle to work as much, but a character with 1000 gold (which is achievable for mid levels, generally) can get a few thematic doodads, as long as they want theme and story instead of world-shaking power.

With the prices being that low, you never know, some kindly DM just might GIVE you an item, surprise! that will help you on your devoted quest to develop your PC's advancement... crazier things have happened.

And what do you mean Zyrus has no money? He's given Bu thousands over the years.

Useful upgrades that I know are decent with 500 gold or whatever is not the same as fiddling around with various ideas. If I had thousands to spend, sure.

This isn't tabletop where gold is plentiful each session.

Sell your current sword; problem solved.

[t-ice]

And the award for the most dazzling topic creep goes to ...

[I-KP]

...me.


(BTW, this is what "Zywus" would look like in Human form. Just saying.)

[gonz.0]

...me.

Spoiler tabs, please, ... My EYES! I can't unsee that!



(( Seriously, omg, lol ))

[Adanu]

I get the feeling I'm the only one who doesn't get that.

[Zelknolf]

I believe the joke is that some things are attractive when you're blue, hairless, and esthetically muscular-- and don't apply so much when none of those things are true.

There might be a reference to a Uniscorne drawing in there somewhere.

Sell your current sword; problem solved.

Show me a merchant that would buy it anywhere NEAR close to what it's actually worth first.
