Tis a sad tale...
The sword is indeed powerful, but I like the irony that it just takes one element of suprise AND one BIGass bad mofo of a dragon to lay rest the devastation this sword brings.
In many cases, big bad monsters call for big bad weapons and vice versa. It's overpowered, but it's doable even if my nme possessed it...hell, I just watched Lord of the Rings over this past weekend, and I think ANYTHING is possible, especially with that ending - Gawd.
Give that sword to one of my most hated enemies and just let me get Legolas and a few more archers [img]smile.gif[/img] Someone will go down. The bane will in time give the wielder a sense of invulnerability; that's just enough time to build up an army of elven archers.
I dunno how AOE spells equate into this, but I'd use AOE spells out the wazoo to get around the protections or something like the pierce line to take down some of the resistance...or summoned fodder to surround the wielder while my archers go to town.
Ranged non-magical weapons look like the answer to taking the wielder of that badboy down - that or one simple catapulted boulder to the head. Painting a smiley face on the boulder before it's launch is optional of course.
