I'm torn on some of the enhancements...does Collision or Force sound like a better option to you guys? I like the idea of being able to ignore DR and incorporeality, but on the off chance we run into something immune to force effects my weapon is useless.

What incorporeal creatures are immune to force effects? What creatures in general are?
As far as I know, Force dragons are immune to force. That's it. Definitely go with Force. Myself, I'm torn on what to do with my vanilla dagger. Add another +1 property or replace Eager with a +2 (like Collision for more static damage)?
How does Umbral Awn work in regards to enchanting it with more effects? It's kind of weird, since it gets enchantments on its own. Right now it counts as a magic Ghost Touch dagger. So I guess I could theoretically Wish to put another +1 ability on it?
...Do two Eager weapons stack with each other? :smirk

That and half-force-dragons, IIRC.

Also, should I go with death ward, ghost ward, and light fortification, or just heavy fortification?

Don't read too far into my last post. I'm not really that heavily disappointed.
Good. :P

Well... Void Incarnates are also, but that's another epic level threat that you guys shouldn't have to worry about. Other than that, it would just be things inside AMFs, which of course opens up a whole other can of worms. ;)

Yeah, that's fine. I think it is a bit weak considering the penalties you get from using it. In fact... maybe we should just get rid of the penalties on Legacy Weapons entirely...

No. Same source.

You can have more than two weapons of course, and you don't have to attune them (and they won't take up one of your 8 item slots) as long as they're only "use activated" and not "continuous". So you could have an Eager/Warning weapon attuned, use that to determine your initiative, and then drop it and draw something else to attack with after you've started your turn. Or get some Eager/Warning armor spikes or something. Of course, this weapon will take up an item slot if you want to benefit from the Initiative boost.



Edit: Wait. Umbral Awn also gets +1d6 sneak attack dice, which IIRC is the equivalent of a +1 or +2 ability itself, isn't it?

A couple of water benders, a dike, a flaming arrow, and a few barrels of blasting jelly?

Sounds like the makings of a gay porn film.

Honestly, Im not all that worried about my Initiative. Much more than what I already have would just be overkill. The main appeal of Eager for me is the +2 damage during the surprise round and first round of combat by this point.

True, that it does. It also gives another fairly nifty ability. So much for that, then.

Either RotD or DM had a ruling on this - most types of dragons with unusual breath weapons are not immune to their energy type.

Wall of force and related effects are immune to antimagic fields and can in fact block them.

My work
The tier system in a nutshell:
[spoiler]Tier 6: A cartographer.
Tier 5: An expert cartographer or a decent marksman.
Tier 4: An expert marksman.
Tier 3: An expert marksman, cartographer and chef who can tie strong knots and is trained in hostage negotiation or a marksman so good he can shoot down every bullet fired by a minigun while armed with a rusted single-shot pistol that veers to the left.
Tier 2: Someone with teleportation, mind control, time manipulation, intangibility, the ability to turn into an exact duplicate of anything, or the ability to see into the future with perfect accuracy.
Tier 1: Someone with teleportation, mind control, time manipulation, intangibility, the ability to turn into an exact duplicate of anything and the ability to see into the future with perfect accuracy.[/spoiler]

Yeah, RotD says half-force dragons do not have immunity to force energy.

I'll take a peek if I have time later. I do not envy you having to manage all that crap. I think Xuuvosic is probably an even bigger headach than Eddie is. :P

Over seventy believers to manage! That's crazed! Looking over Eddie's sheet also makes me glad the alternate form rules were fixed for this campaign. Under normal rules its too strong to ignore, but statting it out would be a huge pain.

Yet, I shudder with the knowledge that Wish economy inherent bonuses opened up 4 more minion slots.  :blink

I like Ghost Ward and a Formless Vest (also MIC) personally

Wait. If Legacy Weapons get no penalties, I want my BFS to be a Legacy Weapon.  :D

Heh, that can be Cade's official theme song. Still, I don't think a limb qualifies for Legacy Weapon attributes. :)

I suppose I could make up a new legacy item. A pair of gloves or bracers or something. Still, probably unnecessary. Not sure what they'd do, anyway. :)

I remember some metal prosthetic arms in D&D. I swear I thought they were called the Arm(s) of Nym, but I can't find them now for the life of me.

Edit: Arms of Nyr, Defenders of the Faith. Homebrewed stuff would also be fine, but I'd want to look at it first.
