The Questioner +4

It is not uncommon to hear Bards sing tales of adventurers who wielded the long sword known as, 'The Answerer'. Much lesser known however, was its' twin brother, 'The Questioner'. Like mirror images, their properties were the opposite of each other. The Questioner however, was more lethal in the sense that it was a talking sword that constantly barrages its' victim with riddles and puzzles, distracting them from combat and potentially confusing them. Only those who are deaf or wield its' brother blade, are immuned to its' confusion.

When equipped, +15% Magic Resistance, +2 AC

Each hit, 5% chance target hit becomes confused( no save).

THACO: +4 bonus
Damage: 1D8 +4
Damage type: slashing
Weight: 2
Speed Factor: 9
Proficiency Type: Long Sword
Type: 1-handed
Requires: 6 Strength
Not Usable By:
Druids
Mage
Cleric
Beastmaster

interesting!

i already made one version of the questioner, and i feel it is more *useful*. giggle

Questioner +4. a parry dirk.

a dirk is a long, thick bladed dagger intended to be used in place of a shield, allowing a second strike from an edged weapon while not compromising armour class against melee attack. this one is the sister to the answerer +4, and is enchanted to only slightly less a degree.

Equipped ability gives a AC bonus of 3 against all but missle weapons.
Each hit lowers opponents' Magic Resistance by 7%
Each hit applies a penalty of -1 to opponents' AC

Ac bonus: +3 against melee weaponry
THACO: +4 bonus
Damage: 1D6 +4
Damage type: slashing
Weight: 2
Speed Factor: 9
Proficiency Type: Long Sword
Type: 1-handed
Requires: 3 Strength
Not Usable By:
Druid
Cleric
Mage

as you see, most abilities are half that of the longsword. i also added an ac bonus to all but missle weapons, so that it takes the place of a shield, as a parry dirk, or main-gauche should. it uses the same icon, and proficiency, so you dont need to use/waste shortsword proficiencys.
