[QUOTE="hong, post: 136245, member: 537"] It would seem that the good folks at Necromancer Games aren't particularly fussy about sticking to canon. The only way a weapon can be "evil", unless it has the unholy enchantment, is if it's an intelligent weapon. Intelligent weapons usually have a swag of other abilities, besides just an alignment. You could give the sword the unholy enchantment, but that would make it pretty powerful (IIRC Rappan Athuk is meant for characters below 10th level). Similarly, there's no such thing, according to the core rules, as a "holy" shield. My guess would be that the designers intended for these items to be usable only by characters of the given alignment. What I'd do is just apply a couple of negative levels to anyone who tries to use these items and doesn't fit the alignment restriction. The negative levels disappear when they drop the item, but aren't restorable otherwise. [/QUOTE]
