the field is pretty thin at bastard sword.

iirc there is a +3 that does fire damage and one similar to valgyr's blade.

There's this one -

Blade of Searing, Bastard Sword +3
The benefits inherent in this sword are plain to see; it is exceptionally accurate, and a lick of flame follows every blow, searing the target in addition to the normal damage received. It is an efficient troll-killer, though it has not yet been heralded as such in song or legend.

STATISTICS:

Combat Abilities: 1 extra point of fire damage
THACO: +3 bonus
Damage: 2D4 + 3
Damage type: slashing
Weight: 5
Speed Factor: 5
Proficiency Type: Bastard sword
Type: 1-handed
Requires: 11 Strength
Not Usable By:
Druid
Cleric
Mage
Thief

It's bleedin dark down here, slippery too.

Man, that's a pisser.

What kinds of abilities would you like this sword to have?

An intelligent mind is the key to the universe.

The most distressing thing about practicing magic is the fact that even the most learned sorcerers cannot accurately describe what magic *is*....

You want it to be +4, but +3 against evil?? Could you clarify?

Can an elf get a break anywhere these days?

I think he means an extra +3, as in +4 normal, +7 vs. evil.

Kerlyssa · 06-05-2001, 08:39 PM

Or maybe he doesn't. Would be an interesting sword to write a history for....blessed by an evil god, aybe, to smite good.
