Strength would be a good one, as would Con.b) Give the item 50-100 'charges', and have each point of difference between target AC and attack roll eat one charge. When the charges run out, the weapon loses its enchantment.Other optional rules:- If the weapon fails to connect (due to concealment, Mirror Images, etc.), it still eats the difference as though it had hit, but the weilder must make a Will save at DC 10 or become Confused for 1d4 rounds.- The weapon retains its Hardness, but any attempt to break the weapon deals damage directly to the weilder (or from the weapon's pool of charges).- The weilder can't be disarmed, but only because the weapon drains HP to make up the difference in disarm rolls. -- Nifft</blockquote>
