Hey folks,
Undead & constructs (to name but two types) are built and balanced partly around their inability to be sneak-attacked or critted.
I now have a player in my campaign who wishes to modify a magic weapon for the express purpose of getting around this not-so-minor limitation.
In the Magic Item Compendium, for those that are familiar with it, there are two "crystals" whose sole purpose is to act as a weapon modification (removal/replaceable/reuseable) that then allows that weapon to crit constructs or undead.
So.
1) Do you think allowing such a change is massively imbalancing?
2) If you would allow such a change, what price would you make these items (assume standard levels of magic item/power in the campaign)?
Personally I do not agree with the pricing in the Magic Item Compendium - I think many items in that book are wayyyy underpriced. What price do you folk think should be paid to crit/sneak attack creatures that a) don't have anything particularly vulnerable to crit, and b) are designed and balanced around being invulnerable to such.
