[QUOTE="azhrei_fje, post: 4969344, member: 12966"] Thanks for the reply. :) The question is more of the "my frost weapon made my equipment so cold that my potions froze!" variety. Not damaging to the equipment per se, but something that makes them unusable in the short-term. Or perhaps the cold permeates the sheath and starts to makes the fighter's plate armor cold. One of the (possible) prereqs for [i]frost[/i] is [i]chill metal[/i] which would clearly have an effect on the fighter inside his armor... So a weapon with the [i]shocking[/i] ability can't harm a metal sheath? What about the person holding the sheath in their hand? Uh... Are you [u]sure[/u]? Seems pretty likely to me that they're going to get hurt! What about weapons that don't have sheaths? Bows, bolas, blowguns, and so forth? (Hmm, lots of B-words there. :)) But then a command word is only needed to turn it off, not turn it on. I think command word was a huge mistake. They should've just said they were use-activated and the whole problem would go away, although you might lose some of the flavor descriptions. :) So let's say I wanted a frost weapon that was use-activated. Should it be the same +1 market price? Or something different? :) [/QUOTE]
