However I don't see it ruled anywhere about having a Shocking, Holy, Anarchic, Extraplanar Bane Longsword +1 of Speed. Is such a weapon legal? And if anyone could provide the rules regarding this specificly I'd love a page number.
Thorak 10-24-05, 03:54 PM	Yep. The actual enhancement must be at least +1, and no more than +5 pre-epic, but the weapon itself can be +10. The other +9 can be anything from up to +4 enhancement more, to the +9 of other abilities you mentioned.
Mysticaloctopus 10-24-05, 04:02 PM	Hmm? i didn't think it had to have an enchantment bonus, just be masterwork. six Throwing returning ranged keen vorpal scimitars on a marilith dervish with improved crit and focus in scimitar, anyone? that'd be six 14-20 crit vorpals to anyone within 100 feet, i think. 3.0 may allow RAW abuse, but it's so fun.
primemover003 10-24-05, 04:05 PM	You're obviously abusing RAW you haven't read fully... You've always had to have at least a +1 enhamcement bonus on any magic weapon in 3.0 & 3.5...
spectralphoenix 10-24-05, 04:09 PM	In both 3.0 and 3.5, weapons must be enchanted with a bonus of at least +1 before they can be given special abilities. In 3.5, vorpal only works on a natural 20. In 3.0, it operated on criticals and could be munchkinized all too easily (keen vorpal bladed gauntlet with Improved Critical, anyone?)
Mysticaloctopus 10-24-05, 04:59 PM	You need a wepon to be +1 before enchanting? Okay, got it now. Like i said, the overabuse is for fun, like 20th level sorceror duels. Prismatic wall above you, polymorph your feet into tree roots, then reverse gravity. something stupid like that. Fun spontaneous things break up monotony mid-campaign.

In 3.0, it operated on criticals and could be munchkinized all too easily (keen vorpal bladed gauntlet with Improved Critical, anyone?) scimitar was better, since the bladed gauntlet had a threat range of 19-20/x2... Companies like WotC put out errata for thier products for a reason, it is sad that so few people bother to check it.
Lord Schpungus 10-24-05, 11:30 PM	polymorph your feet into tree roots What specific creature is it that is "You with tree roots"? Didn't bother to read Polymorph, either, it seems.
Tyler Do'Urden 10-24-05, 11:41 PM	What specific creature is it that is "You with tree roots"? Oh yeah, it's a template. With Roots. It's in Lords of Madness.

Ummm, I could be wrong, but I don't believe that Improved crit and keen stack............. neither does the keen edge spell............
Tyler Do'Urden 10-24-05, 11:49 PM	Ummm, I could be wrong, but I don't believe that Improved crit and keen stack............. neither does the keen edge spell............ Improved Crit and keen stacked in 3.0 but don't in 3.5. Neither stacked with the spell though.

RegdarW 10-26-05, 05:08 PM	+4 keen vorpal falchion, imp crit, weapon master= 10-20 threat range plus head chopping (3.0) :D
