[QUOTE="kreynolds, post: 657161, member: 2829"] What about the fourth? It's not really appropriate to be an extraordinary ability. If you look at the other extraordinary abilities, you'll notice that they are all useful to the wielder. I don't see how a weapon that becomes less powerful in someone else's hands is a benefit to the wielder (except in the event that a bad buy picks it up and attacks you with it). As to special purposes, that's all fine and well, but with a special purpose comes a special power, so that begs the question...what's the special power? Becoming less powerful isn't exactly a special power. Know what I mean? The ego doesn't really have anything to do with it though. I mean, if in someone else's hands it becomes a +3/+3 dire flail, it just kinda "goes to sleep", right? If someone else can't "wake it up", then an ego conflict won't occur. Is this not the case though? Intelligent items really threw me for a loop the first time I tried to figure them out too. Come to think of it, they threw me off for a good long while! :) In some aspects, but not all. I just think that if he's gonna be charged 32,000 gp for a weapon, he should get a 32,000 gp weapon. If not, maybe a discount is in order? [/QUOTE]
