[QUOTE="Pielorinho, post: 401235, member: 259"] +3? Really? That somehow seems high to me. The force-effect properties of the weapon seem to me equivalent to ghost-touch, worth a +1. The granting of reach to a weapon doesn't seem comparable to other +2 effects -- it's not as good, I think, as disruption (auto-kill vs. undead sometimes) or bane (+2 to hit, avg. +9 damage vs. specific opponents). It mimics the effects of other weapons, such as spiked chain. This weapon will likely appear in a treasure cache, so I'm not terribly worried about the cost, except that i want to try to keep it balanced. The weapon will go to an 8th-level character. Can y'all help me get it down to a +2 enchantment? I'm thinking that maybe the force effect will be visible, so that there's no sneak-attack advantage to using it. And it'll be command-word activated similar to flaming/shocking/frost weapons and the like. Thanks for everyone's feedback! Daniel [/QUOTE]
