We need more spells that encance weapons like Keen or flaming. I have a fighter/mage and it would be great if I can get more damange using a spell. That would go a long way to increasing the flavor of the build.   I think we should have more spells like this since magic items are few and far between.   Oh, Don't make them concentration please (although I know that won't happen)
#2 lawrencehoy Jun 03, 2015 20:46:10	There are already spells for this purpose: Magic Weapon: +1 damage, Elemental Weapon: +1 damage and 1d4 of chosen damage type, Shillelagh: increased damage, magical, alternate Ability Mod for attack/damage.   You can adjust the fluff of these spells pretty easily, to fit your concept needs. Magic Weapon can represent the Keen attribute or being chilled/heated/etc. (without actually changing damage type).   Elemental Weapon does precisely what you're asking for.   Shillelagh enables a higher attack/damage modifier (when your spellcasting ability has a higher modifier than your Strength) and makes the weapon magical.

I think the ranger, and the EK (specifically the EK not wizards in general), need more spells that enhance weapon attacks, and not just damage boosters I wanna swing  amace and have everybody in a general direction go flying.

#6 arnwolf666 Jun 03, 2015 22:18:03	I have reskinned my own Shillelagh spell as a cantrip that acts as shocking grasp except it does magic blunt damage.  Several people know how I hated at will cantrips and wanted wizards to need a staff in combat, this worked for me.  Yes, I made it a wizard spell.
