Hey Isida,

What's your ruling on the fortissimo spell (Song and Silence) with a screaming weapon as per this post?

all right, no problem there... i thought i read that at one point but didn't see it in the character creation guidelines... only restriction were the light generating items

It's in the first post of this thread, in the 3rd full paragraph... something about banning spells (and magic items) that create food and water.

I am afraid I will be disappearing for the next couple days. Tomorrow I am moving to my new apartment, and I won't have internet access for a few days. I should be back by Friday or this weekend at the latest

Okay, this is rather cheesy, but I figure I'd ask everyone's opinion anyway. In Song and Silence, there's a 2nd-level bard spell called fortissimo. It can be cast on either a creature or object and increases the DC of sonic or language-based attacks by +2 and the sonic damage by +1d6 points (if the creature or object has an attack that deals damage).

Now, it's pretty obvious that if Phaeder casts this on himself, then casts shout, the save DC for the spell would go up by +2 and he would deal 6d6 points of sonic damage instead of 5d6.

However, if he casts this on his +1 screaming bow instead (which deals sonic damage), would it do +2d6 points of sonic damage instead of +1d6 with every arrow he shoots?

Hmm... I smell cheddar. It seems awfully cheap to have a spell that can bypass that kind of cash you need to give a weapon that much damage. So... I say no.

Isidia, will you ban keen and greater magic weapon, for similar reasons?

Umm... nope.

Back on Tuesday for real people. GenCon is pretty fun so far.

 

[Thanee]

Ah, then have fun there.

Once Isida gets back I'll jump in around then, still need to do some catching up on the IC thread.

Isida do you want me to jump in? I only snagged one item from the party pool of gear (the beetle buckler that the person i'm replacing had) and it went to my cohort, is there more available or what not?
