Market Price for a Weapon Enhancement

[Hypersmurf]

I'm thinking about a weapon enhancement to make a weapon ignore abjuration spells. (One of those "Bows etc do not confer this enhancement on their ammunition ones - you want this on your arrows, you buy enhanced arrows.)

Example - A creature protected by Shield, Shield of Faith, Protection from Evil, or Holy Aura gains no benefit to AC. A creature protected by Entropic Shield does not receive the normal miss chance against a ranged weapon enhanced in this fashion. The weapon ignores the DR of Stoneskin.

Example - The weapon is not affected by Antimagic Field, cannot be suppressed by Dispel Magic, and (maybe) can't be Disjoined. (Perhaps the 1% per caster level chance of Disjunction that artifacts get, without the whole losing-spellcasting-abilities and attracting-attention-of-deities consequences.)

Example - The weapon can pass unharmed through a Prismatic Wall or Prismatic Sphere. (Obviously, the effect does not extend to the wielder, so this is only useful for ranged or reach attacks.)

Example - The weapon is not affected by spells such as Repel Metal or Stone or Repel Wood.

Possible Example - If the weapon also deals elemental damage, it ignores such spells as Endure Elements and Resist Elements.

Possible Example - If the weapon is Spell Storing, it ignores such spells as Spell Resistance or Spell Immunity.

Possible Example - If the weapon is drains levels or deals negative energy damage, it ignores such spells as Death Ward and Negative Energy Protection.

Possible Example - The weapon ignores abjuration effects of items as well, such as Rings of Protection, Vestments of Faith, or the enhancement bonuses of Armor and Shields.

THOUGHTS
i like the idea.

MARKET PRICE
+2 can only bypass level 1
+3 level 3
+4 level 5
+5 level 7
+6 level 9
+7 epic spells of the abjur school

that puts bypassing level 9 into epic games only, but that is where i feel it should be.

other ideas is keep it at +2 or +3 and call for a caster level check to bypass the abjuration.

WARNINGS
can get very unbalanceing

it might also be a good idea to house rule greater magic weapon to only effect nonmagical weapons or nonmagical projectiles, or make it a part of this enhancetment to not allow greater magic weapon on these arrows.

part of giving it a high market value is so the archer has to chose abjur penitration or DR penitration.

allowing a magic item in an antimagic field could be way to strong. the first ting that came to mind is where is that iron collosus.

incase you havn't noticed i like the epic level handbook. maybe a little too much.

try and keep it out of the players hands. or give them very few or if you are the player don't try and cheese these. abjuations are a good way for a dm to up the difficulty of the encounter if they become usless then encounters might start being impossible to balance just right.

my worries might be unfounded cause i play in extremly high magic worlds and in a normal magic world the availability might be low enogh that there is nothing or little to worry about.

that's my opinion. let me know what you think.
