[QUOTE="RuminDange, post: 2044379, member: 5412"] I don't know of a rule to help with this, so I offer my opinion and probably what I would do. More than likely I will have to decide this at some point as one player (my wife) loves to redeem evil, she just hasn't thought about intelligent items yet. :uhoh: So personally I'd probably add something to the "level" based on the other enchantments like Keen, primary and extrordinary powers, special purposes etc to reflect the fact the sword is more powerful and unigue than a typical sword of life stealing. Probably somewhere around 20th like JodyJohnson stated but I figured it more like +1 level per enchantment bonus, +1 Level for every 2 primary powers ), and +1 level for each Extrordinary, Special Purpose, and probably +2 level for the epic powers if you use the epic level handbook to create intelligent items. Since a +3 Sword of Life Stealing is already at Level 17, I'd say the +3 is already counted. then I'd 1 for Keen, 1 for evasion and See Invis, 1 for Heal, for a final level of 20. or as a thought just as I was about to post, I might just use the Ego calculations to determine the overall level of the weapon as well. Probably work out about the same, give or take. RD [/QUOTE]
