[QUOTE="bret, post: 490554, member: 713"] The way I read the spell, this isn't quite right. Flaming is a +1 modifier. If it is a +1 Flaming sword, the rules aren't clear if it will tell of the weapon enhancement or the Flaming property. If it is a +2 or better weapon, all you would get is the Flaming property and the command word to light it up. If it is a +1 Flaming Burst Weapon, all you would get is the +1 Enhancement bonus of the weapon. No command word, nothing about it's ability to flame. Going to be interesting sheathing the weapon if you killed the person you got it off, but didn't hear the command word they used to activate the item. :D As for wands and such, the [i]Identify[/i] spell will tell you exactly how many charges an item has. I would have liked if it gave a little bit more information about items, but agree it shouldn't tell everything about an item. As it is, we still end up using it most of the time until someone in the group gets [i]Analyze Dweomer[/i]. The AD can definately be worth the money, but often times it can be a real hassle trying to find a spellcaster of the required level. [/QUOTE]
