By that logic, a fire elemental could be considered among deity-like power because he has the power to burn the entire world. Turn the material plane into the Elemental plane of fire (kinda). In other words, anyone who tries to "flood the world" with a decanter of endless water is just asking to...

The problem I see is with permanent effects. Sure, it's great to penalize the wizard a few con when he casts Wish to teleport the party to Elysium or something,but what about using that Wish to boost his Int? It's a permanent effect, and the only cost is a few points of Con that'll return in a...

I'm pretty sure that's the standard reaction to about half of the abilities from 3e splatbooks. As I said in my first post, many DMs won't allow anything from 3e meshed in with abilities/items from recent 3.5e. With good reason.

Not necessarily. For items that heal damage or produce effects with a crucial duration, maybe, but for an item that produces such minor effects (such as this item, which can only use 0-level spells) it's hardly too powerful. The less powerful the effects, the less flawed the pricing is. That...

Let's say you're trying to make a slotted item that allows the wearer to use Mage Hand, Prestidigitation, Detect Magic, Detect Poison, Message, Light, Mending, Create Water, Know Direction, Ghost Sound, and Read Magic, all at will, all at caster level 1? Once you've gotten that figured out...

The ability is useless, you mean?

Hmm... the thing is, it's getting cast automatically every night, with a 4d12 week duration. Assuming all rolls are minimum, doesn't that mean that in order to dispel the Fimbulwinter, you'd have to dispell it at least 28 times (since you've actually got 4 weeks' worth of castings with...

Except that Lesser Restoration specifically dispels any magic effect lowering a character's ability scores, such as Ray of Enfeeblement. This effect (whatever it is) would be dispelled, so long as it's magical. And if it's fatigue you're worrying about, Lesser Restoration heals that too. In...

Keep in mind, of course, that Unapproachable East was a 3e book, and therefore many DMs won't allow it to mesh with 3.5, especially in regards to items and abilities from most recent books (such as the Magic Item Compendium and such). And with good reason, obviously.

If I recall, there's a feat in either the PHB 2, Dragon Magic, or Book of Nine Swords (one of the three- the three books I don't have) that lets any caster use a held one-handed weapon to perform somatic components.

...but... it's not evil, though. There's arguably just as many evil creatures on the material plane as on Acheron. It's a Lawful plane, not an Evil one.

Your logic seems a bit inconsistent. If that was your only problem, then your problem has nothing to do with the Bane mechanic, GMW-enhanced or otherwise. Your problem is with GMW itself. Let's take a look at your write-up from before: Let's change the scenario a bit. Cost of +5 Weapon =...

Also, strictly speaking, I don't believe a plane detects under Detect Evil at ALL, come to think of it. There's no mention of "Evil Plane" at all. So, technically, even if you're on the 993rd level of the Abyss, Detect Evil won't show anything unless you happen to be looking at an Evil...

Actually, Acheron isn't an Evil plane. It's a Lawful plane. True, it's a bit creepy, and many creatures there are evil, but the plane itself has the Minor Lawful-Dominant trait, not the Evil one.

It's Strength Damage, not a Strength Penalty, so it stacks. Honestly, it's not as big of a deal as you might think- Sneak Attack is already quite limited in its use, and it's got its downsides. Sure, the opponent may be taking a -1 to all attack and damage rolls for each sneak attack he takes...

One more thing. You are correct- to craft a +7 sword, you need the Craft Epic Arms & Armor feat. However, you're not crafting a +7 sword- you're crafting a +5 Bane sword. It's a +5 sword that gets an additional +2 against certain opponents. Let's say you're crafting a +3 sword. By the rules in...

Says who? If I'm not mistaken, don't the majority of effects get applied in whichever order is more beneficial to the player?

In case you haven't noticed, magic weapons in general have the exact same limitation. But that still doesn't show any evidence a Bane weapon wouldn't increase it by +2.

That's an incorrect analogy. A +2 longsword has a +2 enhancement bonus. It gains a +2 on attack rolls and damage rolls. A +2 Bane (dragons) longsword has a +2 enhancement bonus. It gains a +2 on attack rolls and damage rolls. If you attack a dragon, what's its enhancement bonus? Does the Bane...
