Enforcer84 Posted April 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 Actually I am pretty sure someone told me that "Expendable" is for items like Spell Components, not magic weapons. So I'll have to adjust that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyrm Ouroboros Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 Interesting. However: Lesser Power need not be used proportionally to Power with which it is Linked (+1/4) ... Damage Shield (+1/2) As far as I can tell, if you have the latter (Damage Shield) it doesn't matter what your 'Linked-to' power is used at. For this weapon, wielded by Biff the Terror, if ol' Biff is attacked by a host of zombies or skeletons (that don't have weapons) he can just parry-parry-parry until the weapon's innate 2d6 Energy RKA (with +1 stun -- against the undead, why bother?) explodes them all one after the other. Instead of the 'Lesser Power not in proportion (+1/4)', you may be meaning to instead use 'Shield Damage can be done to targets with HTH attacks other than Grab/Parry (+1/4)'. This, of course, would be really bad for sticking your sword in them and just letting the sucker stay there -- damage every one of the target's phases, or for a weak person just pressing the sword against their flesh. Which, I suppose, IS a grab, but still. Q: Just swinging the weapon, would you do the Damage Shield damage to the zombie ON TOP OF the sword's regular damage, or is that just too malevolent to consider?

So I'll have to adjust that. An expendable sword would be odd... it would basically have to be reforged after each use... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucius Posted April 29, 2003 Report Share Posted April 29, 2003 Independent. The limitation you are looking for is Independent, not Expendable focus. you don't want to have to reforge the sword for each strike, you want someone to be able to take it away permanently.
