Once I was hungry, so I decided to create the baconburst enchantment.

Baconburst
On a critical hit you may heal yourself for 1d6 hp and deal and extra 1d6 fire damage. If your weapon does x3 on a critical it heals for 2d6 hp and deals 2d6 fire damage. If your weapon does x4 on a critical it heals for 3d6 and deals an extra 3d6 fire damage.

+2 enchantment (weapon)

Once used by the awakened boar fighter 12/paladin 5/knight 3 Sir Oinkentrotter. +3 Vorpal Baconburst long sword.

EDIT: This enchantment can only be put on melee weapons.
EDIT: Changed thread name from Bacon Burst to current.

Why healing? I'd think it would just produce 1d6 meals with a successful hit. Maybe a critical kill rains bacon, duplicating a Heroes' Feast spell.

Wouldn't work against Undead, Constructs, Oozes, or Elementals though. You can't make bacon from meatless creatures.

It's a Baconburst sword. Are you really questioning the validity of what the enhancement does?

Also, rock on there pigknight.

I do question its baconation ability.

I question your right to question baconation!

This isn't quite worth a +2. Maybe it should normally deal 1 fire damage and 1 point of healing, then the increase on a crit.
Silverthumb

02-11-08, 02:13 PM
But its a cursed weapon! The bacon COMES FROM YOUR OWN RED ASS!! :eek:
pigknight

02-11-08, 07:23 PM
The bacon comes from the weapon, and the weapon also cooks it, explaining the healing and fire damage

What about Vicious Bacon Burst?

-Or backlash 'popping' grease damage?

Are we talking regular bacon, or Canadian backbacon? If it's the latter, it's obviously better.

Canadian bacon? Canadian bacon is made from demon pigs! Demon pigs from Canada!

See editted first post.

It's regular bacon, the canadian baconburst enchantment does unholy damage instead of fire.

-Good to know.

If you want to use this in a serious campain call it Pheonix Fire.

PEACH please.
tyrecian

02-20-08, 05:48 PM
I like it, gives extra kick to that scimitar weilding boar that crits often with his keen, vicious, vampiric, scimitar...

Nice synergy, and just at +2 as well, i could even see this being underpowerred to a +1 though :)

I've gotta say, I prefer raspberry tart burst. I've got this sword, it's got bursts you ain't never even heard of.

On topic, I approve. I'd say let it do 1 point of fire damage on a normal hit. Ironically, this makes it technically worse to crit on a x4 weapon in terms of damage, since average on 1d6 is 3.5. But no healing on a normal hit, because otherwise we get back to a bag o' rats fighter who just hits his bag for free healing out of combat.
Legdiwena

02-20-08, 07:28 PM
or scale the crit damage like some effects do. 1d6 for x2, 2d6 for x3, 3d6 for x4, and 4d6 for x5 (in case of this effect on a dragonbone bow used against a dragon).
pigknight

02-20-08, 07:51 PM
It scales on crit. multiplier. I also made cow and chicken burst enchants, which are actually good. I made this +2 because get a scythe or a scimitar and use it. It has been playtested.
Legdiwena

02-20-08, 08:22 PM
It should be +2 in keeping with the other burst effects anyway. What do the others do?
Bauglir

02-20-08, 08:56 PM
Oh hey, so it does scale. My bad.

You have anything like a Caffeinating Burst? Combined with Bacon Burst you'd be an unstoppable force of deliciousness.
pigknight

02-21-08, 01:45 PM
@Legdiwena: Do a special effect (usually damage) on a crit.
sakuradm

02-22-08, 01:15 PM
but food does not heal, magic, potions, and or time does... sounds like a pointless item to me, just get a longsword.... and maybe take campaigns more seriously.. or how about i have the jokers in my campaign join yours eh?
pigknight

02-22-08, 01:53 PM
@sakuradm: 1) It's magic food created with magical magicy magic. 2) What part of calling it pheonix fire do you not understand?

02-22-08, 02:00 PM
i dont see pheonix fire anywhere...:P

Wood to Bacon.

I wish I could do a silly fun campaign like that! Ive got people that are too serious, like one or more people in this thread... *cough* teehee!

Wood to Bacon sounds like it should be on one of those "1001 Spells That Should Never Be" or something, lmao! Id use it though.

I am definitely going to keep Baconburst/Phoenix Fire in mind for a future character!

1d6 bacon strips.

good job pig i love the enchantment. But wouldn't that be canabalism if a boar ate the magical bacon.
Cowjuicer

03-04-08, 11:59 PM
I'm gonna apply this to a longsword as a +0.5 (half a +1 bonus price) enchantment. Why? Because it does normal damage on normal hits, only gives 1d6 (the amount a flaming weapon gives on every hit) extra damage on a crit, and because 1d6 is less healing than CLW. And level one characters use that (in potion form, but whatever.)

I think when you get a critical against an enemy with the Bacon Burst ability, their internal organs should turn into bacon

I think that I should make a pie burst enchantment.

Then we'll need a whip cream enchantment.

06-08-08, 05:47 PM
I stabbed the thread. It's dead now. But honestly, a normal sword that when you kill someone it turns them into a massive pie... that would be amazing!

06-09-08, 11:38 PM
you get bacon for hitting peeps with your sword... NOW THAT'S MOTIVATION!!

i res'd the thread. eat it, ned.
Lancer_Bloodlust

06-10-08, 12:53 PM
This is like something you would see on Order of the Stick.

But no, the Phoenix Fire is a great idea. Honestly, who doesn't love healing. But if this were serious, forgive me I know, would the damage applied be fire or divine?
pigknight

06-11-08, 12:26 AM
Fire damage. Also, IT LIVES, BWAHAHAHA :evillaugh:!!!

Seriously, this thread gets close to dying a lot.
Lancer_Bloodlust

06-11-08, 11:56 AM
could it just be magical damage. Phoenix fire wouldn't just be fire, it would be magical fire right? Is magical even a damage type applicable to a dice roll? Magic Missle is force I think.
cezyou

06-11-08, 08:22 PM
Yeah, Magic Missile is force, and so is Wall of Force. Magical is not a damage type.

Quit trying to derail the thread. It had nothing to do with beef until you came along.

See people, this thread will never die. I don't even need to bump it. And I already updated it to 4e if that's what your asking. If not, 3.x enhancements don't really upgrade.
pigknight

08-28-08, 09:23 PM
Bump for great justice!

08-31-08, 12:35 AM
what happened to the not needing to bump it? it is a cool ability though. i know with the crappy rolls i always end up with, my characters can use all of the healing they can get.

aaron out.

11-01-08, 03:23 PM
See, this definitely can be more powerful. The normal bursts deal 1d6 on every hit, in addition to dealing even more than that on critical hits (Flaming Burst is a flaming weapon with the added crit bonus).

So, the way I see it is that this can deal 1d4 fire on a normal hit and heal 1d4 if you are at or below 50% hitpoints, and deal an extra 1d8/crit multiplier fire damage on a crit and heal 1d8/crit multipler, if you are at or below 50% hitpoints, on a crit.
pigknight

11-01-08, 07:41 PM
I already tested it thoroughly and it's on par if not better than fiery or other enhancements of its level.

Well, I wouldn't say it's actually helping your "cred." That whole "any publicity is good publicity" thing only works for celebrities, I'm afraid.

Oh, I don't doubt that occasionally someone wanders in with a clever quip, or perhaps makes some note of balance or suggestion of value. But, ultimately, this thread has died many times. It will keep dying too, unless it somehow receives a major injection of creativity (that's not to say it wasn't creative before, it just needs more to live now).

This thread isn't alive again, not really. I wouldn't even say it's undead. This thread is on life support. It's a coma patient. The doctor comes around once in a while to "apply the paddles," then says: "See... he's alive and well!" Sure, technically he's alive, but he has no quality to his life, and he's certainly not well.

Pull the plug already. If this thread merits continued longevity, it will come around by it's own merits, not by pointless bumping (http://redwing.hutman.net/~mreed/warriorshtm/necromancer.htm). I'll not deny, it was funny for a time, and had a good run. But if you keep it around for too long, you will only soil it's memory and taint it's legacy.
