[QUOTE="cignus_pfaccari, post: 1708152, member: 14557"] Oh, this is easy. Well, not that easy. Several assumptions: Postulate # 1: That there is a 1-handed version of the Jovar, which we'll call the Zeusar for a bad pun. That would be d8/18-20 x2. (Note that the Jovar is one of the few good things from the Planar Handbook) Postulate # 2: That we're playing a half-giant, goliath, or some race released in a future supplement with the Powerful Build ability. Postulate # 3: That the part of the Sun Blade ability that changes an exotic one-handed weapon's burden into a light martial weapon (itself a not-entirely stable interpretation of the rules) is a +1 ability. That is suggested somewhere on Andy Collins' (I think) website. Postulate # 4: That you're playing in an epic game, have Monkey Grip, and can take Wield Oversized Weapon. So, buy yourself twin Gargantuan +whatever Balanced Keen "Light"bladed Mithral Zeusars. That's 4d6/15-20 x2 goodness, which count as shortswords for the purpose of two-weapon fighting. Granted, they weigh 26 pounds each, but they feel like they're two pounds when you're swinging them around (because, hey, "light"blade and all). Besides, you're strong. And, well, they cost 15,300gp each before enchantment, but you're epic, and have money coming out the wazoo. Alternately, if you're not a rogue, or don't feel like defending postulates # 1 & # 3 to your DM, you take your Gargantuan +whatever Balanced Keen Mithral Jovar, wield it two-handed, and do 6d6/15-20 x2 damage. Again, it weighs 52 pounds, but dang it, you're strong, and it needs the weight for structural integrity. Or something. :D And, hey, 30,300gp before enchantment for a sword that weighs that much isn't asking much. Hrm...ooo, slap the Half-Minotaur or Half-Ogre templates from Dragon # 313 onto your character, increase your size category to Large (but still keeping Powerful Build, so you can use Huge Weapons), and slap those babies up to Colossal (6d6/15-20 x2 for the Zeusars, and 8d6/15-20 x2 for the Jovar). Okay, I'm starting to scare myself. Brad [/QUOTE]
