[QUOTE="Teflon Billy, post: 1021922, member: 264"] I disallowed it from the get-go. I disallowed most everything from Sword and Fist. It was WotC's first kick at the "power-up splatbook" can and I didn't care for, well, any of it really. When asked in an organized chat about the obvious "Power Creep" in the supplement, the Author gave a quip about 'Well, something has to be the most powerful weapon...this is it". After months of the 3E Author's claims that "Game Balance" was their holy grail during development. Baffling. He also claimed to have [i]intentionally[/i] left out the BAB for the Halfling Outrider (it was fixed--meaning added-- in the errata). The guy was just full of :):):):) pretty much from the get-go in that chat; both in the "not telling the truth" version of the phrase and in the "Was an Idiot" version. Anyway, [b]Mercurial Greatsword[/b]: it is unbalanced. None of my players ever asked for it though (Bless them). [/QUOTE]
