[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 126827, member: 2209"] I don't have RttToEE in front of me and I have not run the blade spirits yet but here are some of my off the cuff thoughts. The animating I would think is either all at once or 1 per round as it is an ability either SU or SLA. Attacking weapons. This seems like they would either be handled as animated items or the sundering rules might come into play. If you post the animate ability from the spirit that would be helpful. from the srd: Strike a weapon [Standard][AoO: Yes] Description: A combatant can use a melee attack with a slashing or bludgeoning weapon to strike a weapon or shield that a combatant's opponent is holding.
