Message: <blockquote data-quote="CapnZapp" data-source="post: 4587238" data-attributes="member: 12731">Sorry for asking a question that's probably been discussed already, but what is the low-down on magic items with more than one property?(As in official recommendations and DMG guidelines, not just the "do whatever you like, its your campaign" talk)For example, could a Flaming Berserker Battleaxe +2 even exist?As I'm imagining it, similar effects wouldn't stack, but they would complement each other. At least where negation wouldn't be the natural resolution.Taking the Battleaxe as an example, the critical would be the highest of the two (Berserker and Flaming), meaning +2d10 in this case. The damage would be fire, rather than normal. All damage could be turned into fire, as per Flaming's At-Will power. As for the dailies, giving the weapon both would be the simplest solution. A paragon character could then use both dailies during the same milestone if he wanted. As one is a minor action and the other a free action, they could both be triggered in the same round.But as I said, I can't find anything on this. Does that mean such weapons are actively discouraged, or merely that there's no rules on them yet. (Or possibly that I'm just blind, and there is a page reference waiting...)How would such a weapon be priced? The sum of both weapons seems to be the more direct answer (i.e. 5000 + 5000 = 10000 gp for Berserker +2 and Flaming +2).The reason why I'm asking is that this kind of multi-property weapon would be ideal for a Warlock's off-hand rod. As he's not using it to attack, having a high enchantment bonus is a waste of money. But adding a second, third or fourth property to it would seem to be a very very useful thing to do. The main-hand rod could then be a straight magic rod, where all the money goes to the plus bonus.Again, if this has come up before, feel free to answer with a link only. Thanks!</blockquote>
