[QUOTE="Garthanos, post: 7056942, member: 82504"] Extracting a pivitol piece of fiction A Himsati, is their humanoid form. [B]Thinking out loud on the mechanics[/B] [B] Symbiotic Bond[/B] Perhaps while wielded they both take damage when the wielder is targeted but area affects, are assigned independently (since generally a weapon is unlikely to be directly attacked) this could handle hit point damage (Stormbringer was often described as bleeding a black light...) similarly the weapon may suffer other effects like dazed and things some causing the weapon to be inert, instead of actively aiding and directing some of the attacks and maneuvers in the fight.... even inert the wielder would still have passive benefits (like they had a normal magic sword) These Weapons absorb the power and often the abilities of magic items (sometimes the items are absorbed as raw karmic energy) its not exactly like a shapeshifter so the items do not "normally" appear in the humanoid form. Many of the weapons contain and acquire ritual magic knowledge and can perform rituals usually in weapon form often hovering and cutting/drawing runes of energy and magic circles as it is one of the ways they use the Karmic energy they can absorb The absorbtion in raw KE form is directly analogous the act of disenchanting an item into its essence [/QUOTE]
