[QUOTE="discosoc, post: 6986144, member: 6801554"] The reality is, you've basically created an artifact weapon with a complicated set of custom rules. If you're looking for something like this suitable as a rare or very rare magic weapon, maybe chose any single ability you're thinking of and give it to a basic weapon. Letting it do multiple things, with scaling effects, at range, ignoring most cover, etc, is just too much. Compare it to other "rare" weapons that do things like an extra d6 or 2d6 on a crit, or 2d10 poison damage for a minute once per day, and you might notice how much better yours is. Or compare it to some "very rare" weapons like dancing swords (get to make ranged attacks with it as a bonus action), or stuff like swords of sharpness that have focused and specialized effects. Yours still outclasses them in terms of utility and often damage. To be honest, your "rapier" seems to function much more like a very rare or legendary magic staff, IMO. [/QUOTE]
