#1 gargoyle117 May 29, 2008 12:03:25	I've got a strange question. Back in an old mod, I picked up a weapon enhancement that had to be bought on that AR (Morphing out of the MIC). It seemed like a good idea at the time, but as I have never really used it and would rather use the +1 enhancement for something more worthwhile for my character. Is it possible to sell back the enhancement at half cost, like any other purchased item? Before now, I had never considered needing to do this. It seems like the LGCS has not considered it either. Thanks

#3 gargoyle117 May 29, 2008 14:41:42	Thanks Tim, That was what I was afraid of. Unfortunately I also has Morphing and Everbright, which I could not buy again. I will just have to live with a +1 enchantment that is not particularly handy.

Wouldn't meet the OP's needs. hey have another enchantment on the weapon that they can't get replaced. Besides, it would probably be cheaper to buy a new masterwork weapon, and hope for another access to the Everbright enchantment for the new weapon, but keep the old one in the meantime. Although I would have to say that I am surprised that the OP hasn't used the Morphing ability, since it lets a single weapon overcome any damage-type DR.

I think you're confusing 'morphing' with either 'shadow striking' (Tome of Magic) or 'transmuting' (Magic Item Compendium), both of which alter a weapon's nature such that it overcomes the DR of whatever creature you've struck. Morphing simply changes the shape of the weapon: You can reshape a morphing weapon into any other melee or thrown weapon of the same size and type (light, one-handed, or two-handed). For instance, a morphing greatsword could become a spear, greataxe, or dire flail.

You can reshape a morphing weapon into any other melee or thrown weapon of the same size and type (light, one-handed, or two-handed). For instance, a morphing greatsword could become a spear, greataxe, or dire flail. For instance, a greatsword is Slashing damage, while a dire flail is Bludgeoning, so the greatsword would be good against, say, zombie-types, while the dire flail would be good against, say, skeleton-types. Those other enhancements are, almost certainly, better overall, but unless the PC is fairly high level, I could see being able to transform a two-handed weapon into a different two-handed weapon (for the BBDF, for example), in order to target a damage-type DR to be better than having to carry multiple 2H weapons, just given the weapon weights... It won't help with DR/adamantine or DR/good, but it could be useful against the mooks, reducing the number of hits to take them out.

Good point; it's been a while since I played any of my PCs where the "physical" DR (i.e., piercing, bludgeoning, slashing) mattered -- I seem to run into the adamantine/silver/cold iron/good DR a lot more recently... ;)
