[QUOTE="Forrester, post: 207911, member: 1279"] I split the difference in a recent encounter in my campaign. The first round of swings hit the creature just fine -- after that, though, the weapon is drained & the character must wait the requisite period of time for its magic to return. I also played it that if the Nishruu just ENTERS the square that the +1 weapon-wielder is in, regardless of whether the Nish stays in there an entire round, the weapon gets sucked. They did manage to defeat it -- a Raged Orc Fighter that's Power-attacking with a greatsword averages more than 20pts of damage per round, even after the sword has had its magic sucked away -- but I did manage to suck the brains of a kobold wizard first :). He spent most of the rest of the day saying "Ooh ooh" and "aah aah" and trying to poke his party members with sharp things. Luckily, they were able to sacrifice some elves to an altar of Maglubiyet soon afterwards, earning them a Heal for the Feeblemind effect . . . but that's a different story :). [/QUOTE]
