I gave a player a Frost Brand at level 3. It was an ancestral family weapon.
So, yes, if the plot demanded it, or a character was underperforming.
Sure but that's not the question. The question is when the plot doesn't demand it and when no other character is underperforming, would you at that time give out a +2d6 sword? Because that's what allowing SS + CE on this fighter is equivalent to.
