[QUOTE="Ridley's Cohort, post: 869789, member: 545"] Spatzimaus, You raise some good points. A few things I would like to add. (1) I consider flaming burst a direct upgrade of flame. No, you can't have flaming + flaming burst. A crit w/longsword does d6+d10 flame. All of the above are not obvious from the letter of the rules, but balancewise they are the best way to play it. (2) Multiple d6 energies are worthless against intelligent enemies that choose to ward with multiple Endure Elements -- a very accessible spell even for nonspellcasters once you hit ~10th level. A bursting weapon will cut through Endure Elements. (3) Fancy weapons are not cost effective unless you are playing energy + energy + GMW. Therefore, the fancy weapon are really for the DM to play with -- the nominal cost is not an object to the DM like it would be a PC. [/QUOTE]
