Upgrading my sword...(spoilers)

[Butterfingers]

I said it once, will say it again, destroying a rare and highly valuable Holy Avenger just to make another sword is selfish, evil, and a down right terrible thing to do. The Gods should punish you.

No good aligned character would ever do this.

ya, but only paladins can wield it . i would say make it so only evil can wield it (going along with butterfingers) but since its forged for you, i assume your PC is going to be using it so that would be useless.

I'm neutral good, so chaos is not out of character. Why should I trust the weapon into the hands of stiff paladins who lost it in the first place? It isn't evil to think that it's use could be better utilized in my hands. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Why?
The way I see it, there's no reason to lower the magic resistance if you combine it with a sword that gives 50% MR by default. [img]smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]Because I want a cumulative affect, and 50% for a wizard slayer is a bit cheezy.

The strange thing is: It's a crime to melt down the Carsomyr to upgrade another weapon, but using another weapon to upgrade the Carsomyr is just fine & dandy. So, you can appease Butterfingers simply by renaming it.

I say leave the weapon at its current flat 50% MR, no bonus. This would be perfect for a Wizard Slayer: Carsomyr's MR does not stack with items (which the Wiz Slayer can't wear anyway, such as the Ring of Gaxx, Cloak of Balduran, or Kaligun's Amulet), but it DOES stack with a Wiz Slayer's innate Resistance, which would *FINALLY* give Wiz Slayers a reason to exist.

15% chance of Stun on hit, unless the victim Saves vs. Wands (no penalty).
Wielder is immune to Stun.

There doesn't seem to be a good reason for the Sunray, so I would leave it out. Besides, Daystar is sufficient, and if you're taking MODs into account, there's Daystar+4 and the Holy Buckler of Amaunator.

Wow, I didn't know that Carsomyr's MR stacks with WS's innate resistance. Awesome.

About the destruction of the Carsomyr...What if it were the Order that did this? Say they, instead of destroying either weapon totally, fuse them together?
