Any weapons better than +3 - Page 2

AndyG · 09-06-2002, 10:46 PM

I was looking through the toolset earlier today, at the magical weapons available. I was pretty disappointed. Plain weapons never go about +3 (of those I looked at) and even the named magic weapons were fairly weak on the pure enchantment side. They had nice extras of course.

Has anyone found the Blessing of the Daystar long sword? That looks like the best long sword for good characters. It has an evil counterpart.

Magic arrows to far more damage. I can often shoot for 12-15 hps of damage with acid arrows. The other way to up your arrow damage is to take a few levels of rogue for sneak attacks. There are a number of enemies immune to sneak attacks, so you'll want magic arrows against them.

Enemies that are immune to normal weapons are immune to normal arrows, too, unless you do a sneak attack or critical hit.

Yeah, the problem is this campaign is terribly monty haul. Part, because you can't do a lot of things like in PnP so you need to over-kill from a dev standpoint. Part, because you got to pander to the masses - so many want +500 weapons of mass destruction.

Since you brought up arrows, what feat or skill or whatever, can you take to get regular damage with them? I ask because I saw someone with arrows online (maybe hacked character, don't know) that was doing on average of 34 hps damage per arrow. Every so often he would do in the low hundreds too. With the damage he was doing, he could take out a Dragon with just a couple of shots. Supposedly, this was on a server that enforces legal characters too. Odd thing is that someone came in as a Fire Giant. How can you modify your character to look like a Fire Giant, without being classified as illegal? Has someone figured out the Hex bytes/code that classifies a person illegal or not? Anyways, if that arrow deal is legal, I want in on that. LOL
