[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 6068526, member: 92511"] Why not? Who said it can't hew through stone? Unless, I suppose, it is specifically a "Dragonslayer" type of sword and the enchantments only pertain to draconic creatures...but still, why/how is that a verisimilitude problem? And how does that make sense to your verisimilitude? Your [the epic fighter's that is :) ] skill and strength is beyond compare and legendary. The rusty hatchet is still a rusty hatchet. The force of your blow thunders through the room, even echoes through the body of the dragon. The rusty hatchet bursts into dust against the dragon's hide. Not without magical (and I daresay flame-retarded) boots. I suppose your saves at level 14 could be good enough to give this appearance...or at least have the rumor-mill throwing that around. ;) Why? You're still an epic level fighter. To my knowledge that doesn't translate to you having the power to magically enhance things you touch...unless you picked that up through some kind of magical means in your adventures en route to becoming epic. :D But just because you can attack 10 times per round, always hit, and are +50 (per hit, naturally) to damage? Nah. The rusty hatchet is still a rusty hatchet. You wanna lop off 10 orc heads in one shot with that rusty hatchet? Go for it. Think you can take out a spectre or pierce dragon hide with it? Not so much. Ok...so we agree on that...but I doubt a rusty hatchet will suffice regardless of your epicness. [/QUOTE]
