[QUOTE="cjosephs1s, post: 5709927, member: 6683450"] Tip #1: You don't want a possesed item if your a non evil character. Tip #2: You still don't want a possessed item even if you are an evil character unless you plan on rerolling another character pretty soon. Ok here's the thing with possessed items. I recall doing some reading on them a long time ago and just brushed up a tincy bit on them. They are possessed usually by Demons (Devils also work). That's what gives them power. Demons (or Devils) aren't the forgiving type nor are they looking out for your PCs best interest or the party's for that matter. Rules for how this works are in the book of Vile Darkness pg 25. Now I do recall reading somewhere (not in a WotC book) that you can summon a Demon and trap him inside a weapon and make him do your bidding if you are strong enough and have the right magical protections in place but once again you are playing a very very dangerous game. If you ever fail to keep control of your demon it will most likely attack you that very instant. Also your item will not really be magical as it has no magical enchanments on it. It will however detect as evil which can cause problems for you. My advice: while colorful and different as this path is, get a weapon of legacy or perhaps an intelligent weapon that is of the same alignment as your character. More than likely he's in enough danger without his own weapon turning against him. [/QUOTE]
