[QUOTE="Forrester, post: 7101798, member: 1279"] I'm trying to get an idea of how highly this would be valued in ole 3.5 (or Pathfinder) D&D-land ... ------------- [B]Sword of Nullity[/B] This Masterwork sword is non-magical, and gives no bonuses to hit or damage. However, it completely ignores all protective spells on its target of 5th level or lower; targets with Stoneskin are hit as though they did not have the spell on them, Walls of Force and Resilient Spheres are automatically dispelled when the sword touches them, Mirror Images disappear if the sword is simply waved through them, and so on. Any spells that create an external aura (such as illusion spells) are also dispelled; 'buffing' spells such as Bull's Strength are unaffected. The sword also cuts through Walls of X, dispelling the magical effect within 3 inches of wherever the sword is waved; however, unlike walls of force/resilient spheres/Shields, the Walls of X (e.g., fire, ice) are not dispelled entirely. Casters that can expend at least some effort (as a free action) to maintain a barrier may attempt to resist the effect for their higher level spells, but they only have an X% chance (where X= their caster level plus twice the level of the spell) per round. The sword cannot be enchanted in any way; any attempt to make it hold a magical aura fails utterly. ------------- So -- are we in minor artifact/relic territory here, impossible to put a price on it, or ...? I know, this is a very random question, but I've been running a 7th Sea game where one of the characters has this sword, and they've just been transported to Sigil/D&D-land, and I want to get an idea of how valuable it is and how likely people will want to kill him to get it from him ... I mean, we're talking about a sword that can slice through Prismatic Spheres. [/QUOTE]
