[QUOTE="Undrave, post: 8626092, member: 7015698"] Yeah I prefer to have resistances you can overcome through mundane means because you researched the enemy, rather than just having a one-size fits all solution. One solution that would allow to keep the 'signature weapon' trope is to simply have your ability to overcome 'no mundane damage' be simply dependant on you being attune to a magic item, ANY of them.

Come to think of it... what if we were to ditch the +X on items and have your +X simply based on how many magical items you are attuned with? The more magic item, the stronger your magical aura? With a few rare magical weapons boosting it further too. Just a thought 4e didn't have level dips. You took a MC feat that gave you a weaker version of that first level and a skill training.
