[QUOTE="Angcuru, post: 1790462, member: 10948"] I really like this idea too. I've been really really annoyed with the complete lack of decent Katanas and the overabundance of godly longswords. Plus, does all +dice damage HAVE to be elemental?? I have yet to see a single sword that instead of being on fire and dealing +2d6 fire, is extremely sharp and deals +2d6 slashing. Plus, this would allow people to have their own neat looking stuff. Instead of everyone having the same items, everyone has their own unique set! Nice! But in this case, you'd have to make available a WIIIIIDE variety of stuff for different aesthetic tastes. I was very pleased at being able to change the colors of my armor, with the dye merchant. This would be a great step towards completely customizing a character. It shouldn't be too too hard to do this. IMO. I think all you have to do is to select an existing item like the Add (Bright White Light) Gem, and change it to Add (Weapon Enhancement +1) Gem. But there's the issue of overlapping enhancements. If you had a Battleaxe, added +1 to it, would you have to buy a +2 gem to add it, thus nullifying your earlier purchase of the +1 gem? I think this would be a good idea to do it, with enhancements replacing one another and suchlike. With a system like this, characters could not be restricted to items too far above or below their level. They would have items that grow as they do, items they get really attached to, instead of saying "Yeah, this is a nice ring, but I'll have to replace it eventually...". I say go for it 5,018%!! :D [/QUOTE]
