I wont personally need any mention if you use any of mine, I merely want something to brag to my players about <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Its a very good idea to expand on the current, existing weapon abilities. In my opinion, those found in DMG / ELH are not enough. Most people end up with Keen / Ghost Touch weapons with a big plus. The more abilities, the bigger the posibility that a player might find one that he finds suitable for him, so suitable that he's willing to give up some clean plusses to get it.Are the abilities all going to be "single" abilities, or are some of them "advancable". By advancable, I mean if they will have different variations that cost different plusses (I saw some ideas for this in this thread). I use some of those in my campaign and have even made a rule regarding them. You can go and get an ability "upgraded" for a price equal to modified weapon price - base weapon price. (That means, a weapon which costs 2000 gp. has an ability that costs a +1 market price. That ability has a greater version which costs as +2. A weapon with this would cost 4000 gp, so I allow the player to upgrade it for 2000 gp). This is only possible with the connected abilities and not merely plusses and such. I even had one of my players acquire a magical item that gained "levels" with him, as a familiar would. It could gain various minor powers each time it advanced. He could save the advancements and buy greater powers etc. Anyways, again, the Danish one is rambling on...</blockquote>
