i have just finished a new weapon that i made and it is pretty awesome. I made a quarter staff and it is 2d4 +2 and it has several abilities: for starters it is not too powerful for the game and thats the way that i made it, and here is a list of all of the things i put into it and why i put it into the weapon. first there is 25% immunity to everything(<25% is so you can still get hurt and killed if possible>) and next i added three preist spells to it to give it more of a punch(<they are not powerful spells:spike stones, heal, and one that i cannot remember>) next i added three slay creature things and it slays all major spell casters(<mage, cleric and i think paladin>)and does not kill druid, bard, or ranger on hit. then i put in four fixed damage attributes, which are set to very low damage and they are i think 1d2 to all of them and they are cold, magic, acid-or-fire, and electricity damage and it never does damage with them over seven. *****************the reason that i made this weapon was for fun and so i could make a weapon for my single player mage (<i only have one person in my party>) and it works good for him because at the first i put a proficiency of quarter staves on him. so if you want me to e-mail it to you please feel free to ask me and i will send it to you but leave your e-mail address for me to send it to you. and if you have any other questions about it or think that i should change anything in it please tell me and if you think that it is too powerful tell me please. cause i dont want the staff to be too powerful.

<font color = lightgreen>I have two suggestions: 1) either give the auto-kill features a saving throw with a bonus of +2 to +4 or 2) limit the number of charges of auto-kill to (perhaps) thrice/day. Any weapon that auto-kills needs to be balanced, especially if it targets a common foe such as "all major spellcasters".

Ohterwise, good show! [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img] </font>

stephenwil 04-24-2002 04:45 PM

first things first,,,i dont understand what you mean azred about giving the automatic killing charges??? and the only thing that it kills are mages, clerics, and i think paladins on one successful hit,
i might make a saving throw, and if so what is a good saving throw???

someguy,,,,i sent you an email on why i had problems sending you my file read the email and then i will send it.

Azred 04-24-2002 05:55 PM

<font color = lightgreen>I mean make "kill a spellcaster in one hit" a special ability usable three times per day. What would be easier, though, would be to set the saving throw to the auto-kill ability to something like "save vs spells at +3". I suggest the second method until you become more familiar with item creation. [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img] </font>

ok so now i changed it to where it will only kill mages, clerics, and paladins in the game with one hit and i am going to add a saving throw, so what do you think that the numbers should be for my saving throw, but i dont want it to be impossible for me to kill one though because this is the best weapon in the gods temple place.

TheGrandSlayer 04-25-2002 07:58 PM

stephenwil, can you tell me HOW you created that staff?? I wanna create the perfect blade BWAHAHA!

SecretMaster 04-25-2002 08:58 PM

Seems like a good weapon to me. Not to BS, not to weak, but just right.

Azred 04-26-2002 12:24 PM

<font color = lightgreen>I would suggest either save vs. magic (a moderately easy roll for most beings), save vs. death at +1 or +2 (a more difficult save, except for clerics), or save vs. breath at +3 (the most difficult save).

Otherwise, [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] . </font>
