[QUOTE="Arthedain, post: 2082663, member: 17748"] Yep, I've got one of those :). In my Forgotten Realms campaign (set in the Dalelands), the players help rescue Randal Morn and free Daggerdale from the *evil* Zhents (dramatic music). One of the players, an aasimar fighter, got The Sword of the Dales, a +3 silvered bane [magical beasts & constructs] longsword, with some additional nifty powers (like reflecting lightning bolts and polymorph magic + opening chains). HOWEVER, the aasimar fighter had his mind set on a character that would wield a two-bladed sword. So as of today, some 2 years (both in-game and in real life) later, he still usually uses a two-bladed sword. The Sword of the Dales has been used on occasions, like when the players where going *in disguise* to Voonlar (a small village north of the Dalelands where the *evil* Zhents rule behind the scenes) and the caravan they were traveling with were ambushed by orcs. Now, if you look like an average traveling minstrel and draw a sword that glows blue, and display impressive fighting skills...I wonder if someone tells about it when they come to Voonlar.... :) To add insult to serious injury, the aasimar has grown wings (Outsider wings feat from Races of Faerun), and always wears full plate. Me and one of my players have been mocking (in a friendly fashion, of course) the player for ages because of his high "cheese-factor". Our latest idea was to try to promote his character as a prospective new King of the Dalelands. Cheesuz I, or something like that:)..... But probably not as long as The Sword of the Dales stay in his sheeth for 98% of the time. [/QUOTE]
