[QUOTE="Kae'Yoss, post: 307394, member: 4134"] I don't care if weapons with +6 or more violate the spirit of the ELH. I don't think it to be right that only people who buy that book may use +6 swords. I just say that you shouldn't have a +6 or better weapon while you are within the normal rules: whether you use the ELH to go beyond those rules or make something up shouldn't care. I'ts also not about enhancemant bonus versus other bonuses. I have no problems with a non-epic spell that grants an enhancement bonus of +7 or so. If it doesn't apply to weapons! I would allow non-epic characters to have spells (maybe even equipment) that gives more than +6 on an ability score, and I would *maybe* even allow a +6 armor, but no +6 weapon. It's because the bonus to weapons enables you to overcome DR. As I said, I wouldn't even allow a "normal" 9th-level spell to create a +6 weapon, cause that would enable a 18th-level caster (or maybe 17th-level, if the spell has a faster progression, like +1 for every two caster levels). I would require the character to be beyond level 20. That could be achieved by an epic spell, or just with a house rule that allows enhance spell to be used with greater magic weapon. You'd end up with a spell that uses up a 7th level spell slot (or maybe you could rule that it has to be hightended to 5th level before it is enhanced, to end up with a 9th-level slot) but you had to epic since enhance spell is an epic feat..
