it is your item, i held no authority over it, you can say no to whatever you want, but to be honest, no one (the RPGer type) is gonna use an overpowered item (like 1d10 +5 katana) didnt you notice there isn't any +5 katanas in BGII?

it was written clearly, this type of sword, the construction itself, is already perfectly balanced and enchanted. it is hard to add more magic in it. if you still say no to 1d8 +3, then I dont care.

I'll do 1d10+whatever but not 1d8+whatever

heh, how come I got a feeling that you powered up it instead of balancing it?
well, at least make it 1d10 +3 instead of +5. if you want a +5, give it a nicer story.

But i'm terrible at storys (apart from one of my long term projects).
also how has it become more powerful?

whenever an opponent gets hit, he is stunned, so why do you need other characters? just one guy with this sword and go on a rampage

when ever this sword strikes, your opponent must make save THREE times, and all different type of save. look, this is how save works, different class/race has different advantage/disadvantage at saves. your sword force them to cover all the saving throw areas. that means one of the special ability will always get them, and your opponent will always end up dead, isnt this too much?

your sword is +4 to hit and +5 thac0, i take it as +9 to hit, what is that? AO's personal weapon?

aligment change is not a penalty at all, at least in BGII.

firstly i meant more powerful than it was in the earlier post and secondly alighnment change is sometimes a bad thing . but i agree 3 different type of saving throws is overboard so i'll make them all vs Death

"your sword is +4 to hit and +5 thac0, i take it as +9 to hit, what is that? "

250: what +4 to hit and +5 thaco mean is that the weapon is considerd a +4 weapon for the purpose of determining what it can hit. And gives it's wielder +5 thaco, it is in no way a +9!!
