[QUOTE="The Other Guy, post: 819531, member: 10859"] Its funny you should mention an annoying sentient sword, for a fellow player is having a similar problem with his. My advice to him, and to you is this. Dominate the sword. It may have intelligence and a personality, but let the damn thing know who is boss. Tell it to shut the hell up, and if it doesn't threaten to not use it. As much as you the player want to wield this magnificent sword, it wants to be wielded as well. Probably more so than you think. It may suck for you, but if it doesn't heed your warnings, lock it away for a bit. Perhaps in a magic shielded box, so it cant call to other masters. Explain to the sword that you hope to build a good relationship with it, but it WILL recognize that you are its master. If its smart, it will realize that if it gives you what you want, you will give it what it wants, and perhaps even reward it with nice guestures such as a jeweled sheath to reside in. Basically, try not to be a cruel master, but make sure it knows that you ARE the master. Such is how I would deal with it. [/QUOTE]
