[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 124611, member: 2209"] [b]NUA trick[/b] RogueJK, To use the Nystul's trick, if either of the elven wizard's has the heigten spell feat, offer to pay for the first level spell NUA. If not then you can still get it into the party by buying a wand of heightened NUA (that should still be within your means at your level, I would think) and giving it to any of the 3 arcane casters who have it on their spell lists. I don't expect many people to have the heighten feat so the wand is probably your best bet. Glad you like the trick, I'm a bit proud of it. I would also agree with Pielorinho that the most natural interpretation of striking surface would be distinct from a blades edge. It sounds like the spell adds spikes to bludgeoning weapons although I can picture a sawtoothed sword or axe. What is the text of the spell (I don't own DotF) magic weapon provides enhancement bonuses to attacks as well so it sounds like they would not stack "Magic weapon gives a weapon a +1 enhancement bonus to attack and damage rolls." It would seem pretty odd for a weapon spike spell's enhancement bonus to be to the wielder's attack, not the weapon's. [/QUOTE]
