Last time I brought up changing it to ignore natural armor as well my head was practically bitten off by people whose campaigns apparently only have humanoids in full plate as the effective combatants at higher levels..Paying +4 to ignore a few points of ac but being unable to effect a large list of creatures just doesnt seem like a good trade. Which would someone rather have? +1, brilliant energy or +5? The +5 is just plain better in so many situations it isnt even funny. Going to the other extreme +6 of various things and brilliant vs +10 of various things I would still not take the brilliant energy..In this way it is a lot like dancing. There are situations where it is useful, but they are so few and far between it just isnt worth the price tag associated with it.but for your specific problem having a brilliant energy weapon that only fires brilliant energy rounds sounds very interesting.. working with the dm to come up with a price that is actually workable seems to be the way to go.Also, take a look at spell storing, as that seems to be right up the alley here.</blockquote>
