I don't like the idea of a magic item with an expiration date (and I didn't like it in 4E either).<br />Magic items should remain useful (even if players may find better eventually.)CFThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12001169682004850859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8170674472098446028.post-26250588878256710992014-02-01T16:36:32.166-05:002014-02-01T16:36:32.166-05:00I like the nomenclature, but I think I might use i...I like the nomenclature, but I think I might use it as a requirement for who can wield the sword effectively. Thus, a hero's sword can only be wielded by one who fights as a hero (this would be a fourth level fighter or a higher level member of another class).<br /><br />I also like the idea of tying banes to low rolls of extra damage. Backbiting and self-immolation are maybe too penalizing though, but I like the wailing example (random encounter check triggering, presumably).Necropraxishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12716340801054739658noreply@blogger.com
