#2 stealthmarmot Jul 21, 2009 18:58:06	I honestly have no idea what you are asking.
#3 LlamasNotsheep Jul 21, 2009 18:59:17	I think he means the swords the Ranger pic has on p. 103 of the PHB. And I have no idea
#4 sushijunkie Jul 21, 2009 19:02:56	Give your DM a wishlist, and ask that the swords you get are cosmetically changed to look like those awesome weapons, or something similar. So they look the same, but as far as abilities go it is the same thing as a boring longsword +2 or something. The appearance of things never matter.
#5 Chiba_Monkey Jul 21, 2009 19:23:25	What kind of weapon does the ranger have in the PHB i mean the lightsaver type thing. Thanks. You mean lightsaber? And also, everyone here is right, there's no flat out answer to that question, but if you speak with your DM, he will probably allow you to have a weapon that the blade turns green and sheds pale light when drawn.
#6 eazy_e Jul 21, 2009 23:11:31	Ah yes i meant lightsaber...typo. The only reason I hesitate to do that is a sword of a similar type recurring in the WOTC books, this makes me think it is an actual weapon with stats. Does anyone know where i can find those facts.
#7 Stuntman Jul 21, 2009 23:22:07	There's the sunblade. It glows. If you want a really cool sword, literally, try a frost weapon.
#8 koradzi Jul 21, 2009 23:37:55	Do weapons of Brilliant Energy still exist in 4e? If so, that'd be the one.
#9 eazy_e Jul 21, 2009 23:38:16	thanks thats all i needed!
#10 silent_stone Jul 22, 2009 0:06:28	Do weapons of Brilliant Energy still exist in 4e? If so, that'd be the one. They do, but not in the Player's Handbook. They're in the Adventurer's Vault.
#11 seyeklopz Jul 25, 2009 22:30:45	Get someone to cast continual light on your sword.. maybe with dim or hue modifier. Must not be the stealthy type of ranger huh? :P
#12 eazy_e Jul 25, 2009 22:53:13	Not a ranger at all...I am an invoker. I just want a fancy sword, I can't wield it effectively, but who cares. I would probably just use it for ceremonial stuff. Nobody in my group uses a sword...
#13 shinikama Jul 26, 2009 12:30:37	Well, if you want one mechanically that acts that way, then look into Radiant or Brilliant Energy. If your DM isn't against you refluffing things, you could basically reflavor ANY magic sword to look like that. If I were DM, I'd even let it shed light as the Light cantrip, although it would take a minor action to turn the light on or off, or you could sheathe it as a free action to douse the light (since that takes you out of combat-readyness)
