Made for delightfully hilarious gaming. Of course, he also had a bondage gnome lackey with a choke ball to carry all his stuff, which goes to show what level of roleplaying game we were playing...This was a throw-away your funny idea characters at Rappan Athuck game, so none of the PCs lived very long.I would imagine that one of the more interesting things to explore with intelligent weapons would be figuring out at what level their awareness was at. A sword that was telepathic and could tell what alignment creatures are is one thing compared to a clueless sword that just "likes the taste of orcs."Or perhaps a weapon that as far as it can tell, everything tastes like chicken.Forged and wielded by a heroic chicken slayer maybe?okay. sorry. I'm done.</blockquote>
