You mean to make this "upgrade" for the Carsomyr? IIRC, it never had a chance of killing on strike. If you plan to do this, yes, its overkill. A chance ofgetting killed while being killed is overkill IMO

Make it usable by all Paladins, take that 35% Vorpal hit down to 15%, and give it a +1 bonus to the save.
And even then it`s still a bit overkill.

Trau · 12-22-2002, 10:41 PM

Boy, I tell ya, 35% is way too high. *changes it*

Sever · 12-22-2002, 11:32 PM

Make it 10% chance of instakill vs Chaotic evil oponnents. Even then, it's still overkill.

Trau · 12-23-2002, 12:52 AM

If only I knew how to do that!

Overkill?! What overkill?

It's impossible to overdo it in SOA or TOB.

CLUAConsole:CreateItem("killsw01") [/QUOTE]The description of this item reads:

"Long Sword +2: 'Varscona'
Blades of this type were long used by Sharran priests during the sacrificial rites of "Feast of the Moon" ceremonies. Legends say that, when she passed on, the remains of this sword's wielder were mummified and the blade was placed within her chest as a symbol of power. In the first stage of a long forgotten ritual, she was to have been exhumed in a season, born again in some new form. Unfortunately, cult wars killed the few that knew of her existence; her tomb became a prison where she was forgotten, and there she developed a rage that bordered on insanity. Her grave was eventually found, but it was deserted and gave no indication of her whereabouts. Some venture to say that her anger was so concentrated, she became one with the very blade of her weapon. Regardless, after hundreds of years surrounded by constant hate, the sword harvested a power of its own. It is now exceedingly deadly in combat.

STATISTICS:

Damage: 1D8 +2
Special: +1 Cold damage
THACO: +2 bonus
Damage type: slashing
Weight: 3
Speed Factor: 3
Proficiency Type: Long Sword
Type: 1-handed
Requires: 6 Strength
Not Usable By:
Druid
Cleric
Mage"

However, it has a few hidden abilities. These hidden abilities is to add 1500 Fire, Magic and Cold damage, as well as 1000 Piercing and Slashing damage. All is per hit.
This is, ladies and gentlemen, a sword made by BioWare themselves, added into the game. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
