Besides, the difference between x16 and x18 will be 0 in most cases, since the enemy will die. 
Modders really shouldn't serve as the police in addition to all the hard work they already have. If people want to powerplay, let them. It's all about fun, right? [img]smile.gif[/img]

Among other reasons, because I don't want to see Swashbucklers getting Backstab Triple Damage, that's why. I thought it more fitting to make the upgraded S.S.o.B. tack on additional damage before the Backstab multiplier instead. You also get to choose whether you want to add Poison or Level Drain to the sword.
I see all the reason in the world to police my own MODs. Sure, I could create a million items just as unbalanced as the Preserving Boots and Sanchuudoku, but then there'd be a million guys running around with the equivalent of tactical nuclear warheads in their packs, bragging about how cool they must be to have "earned" such gear....we already have a game like that, it's called Diablo. I can't even
count the number of times I've seen a Level 4 Sorcerer running around in Godly Plate of the Whale.
