[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 4012468, member: 19675"] [b]Gone but not forgotten[/b] I always like comrade raoul's posts & threads...good analysis! I'd heard all of this about 4E, and actually wasn't concerned about this aspect of the game at all. Then it occurred to me that there is still a way for +N items to reappear, albeit in the form of an enchantment just like Fire or Holy or whatever. If one were to design a weapon that allowed the weilder to fight like Sir Killsalot- a famous warrior from ages past- because it channels a bit of his warrior spirit (or whatever the weapon's backstory is)- it would seem to me that the easiest ways to design this are either: 1) Makes your PC have the BAB of a warrior of X level while wielding it and the magic is active or 2) Raises your PC's BAB to a warrior of X level while wielding it and the magic is active. Functionally, its very nearly a +N weapon. Now, because of the new (as yet unseen by me) magic item construction rules, you probably won't find as many such weapons, and this power probably comes at the expense of others. In addition, as the weapon's wielder approaches and then surpasses the puissance of Sir Killsalot, the weapon decreases in relative value, eventually becoming worthless to him...assuming it has no other abilities of note.
