I don't consider it an insult, but a statement of fact.   That weapon is totally munchkin. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />And far better people than you have called me a "lesser person" with far greater cause. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />Besides, why is it so important that it be classified as Rare instead of Legendary anyway?   Are you the DM giving this out to a PC?  If so, the rarity isn't a big deal one way or the other.   Or are you going to be playing in a game where the DM has agreed to give you a Rare weapon of your choice?   In which case, I stand by everything I said. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
