[QUOTE="Evilhalfling, post: 5462114, member: 16991"] playing -- a MURP game where we were fighting undead goblins in a lair, I could hit the broadside of the barn. One of three PCs went down and two of us were left fighting back to back in a burning hallway- the dead PC had started with a magic sword which was good, but not incredible. His body was in a fire, but I reached into the pyre and lifted out his sword, burning its hilt into my palm. Crit. Crit. Crit. In rolemaster this meant decapitations, lung piercing and other nearly instant fatal wounds. my dice ran so hot we actually got out alive. The sword became "Arra Anna Liegh" or "Gift from the Flame" in JRRs elvish. It was my very favorite sword.
