[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 1063770, member: 5834"] [b]re[/b] I disagree. Say you have a high level fighter, say 16th level, fighting a very old dragon. The fighter is a hasted dual wielder with two wounding weapons. three of his hits are probably going to land every round, which means he does his original damage, plus 29 hit points due to con loss on the first round. On the second round he does his his usual damage, and 58 hit points due to con loss, and this alternates each round as he destroys the dragons Con. That means in two rounds the dragon ahs taken 87 points from Con loss caused by a wounding weapon with less than half the fighters attacks hitting. The dragon will be retaliating, often without the kind of support the fighter has. That is not even close to comparable to the old wounding ability which would have amounted in 6 points of extra damage with 3 wounds that over the course of 2 rounds. I am speaking from experience. I was attacked by a Duellist half-fiend with Keen Wounding rapier as I stated earlier. In addition to the regular damage, I lost 26 hit points from Con loss. That far exceeds the damage a regular energy enhancement could inflict in three hits if they were all max rolls which would be 18 max damage. It is only 10 points less than an Unholy weapon would have inflicted if they rolled maximum. The average loss from an Unholy weapon in 3 hits would be about 21 points, 5 points less than a Wounding weapon inflicts with 3 hits because a wounding weapon causes you to lose hit points from lost con which is a set amount. I cannot even begin to imagine the power a wounding weapon will have in the hands of a Hasted dual wielder. The gods save the DM that has to deal with a Hasted dual wielder with two Wounding or Greater Wounding weapons. [/QUOTE]
