Message: <blockquote data-quote="Andre" data-source="post: 1882797" data-attributes="member: 25930">I agree. Even if the item only negated one type of magic bonus, it would be potentially very powerful. As is, it's a complete mage-killer, monk-killer, killer of anything that avoids regular armor. (Interestingly enough, it's not terribly powerful at low levels - but at high levels...watch out!)The only balancing factors I can think of are:1. Only a perfectly dull weapon can be so "enhanced". Thus the weapon, no matter what it's shape, does only 1 point of damage plus any applicable bonuses (Strength, Sneak Attack, etc). Also, the weapon can have no other enhancements or abilities. The weapon can never crit.OR2. The weapon has no effect on any creature with any form of armor other than magical. In effect, it's effective only against monks, wizards, and such - and even then, that assumes the target doesn't run around in a mithril chain shirt or some such (and some casters do).BTW - have you considered how difficult it would be to calculate AC's vs this weapon? We already have AC, Flat-footed AC, and Touch AC. You would need to keep track of yet another type: Non-Magic AC. Is it really worth the trouble?</blockquote>
