Bastard Sword*Unlimited Uses/day*No Energy Type*d10 damage(Doesnt bypass DR)*Ignores Energy Resistance*No attacks of opportunity*Not a spell*Damage increased by STR.Admittedly The Eldritch Jolt bypasses DR, but it has low damage, and spellcasters have a lower BAB than fighters. And yeah, its a ranged attack, not a touch attack (but it has a really short range). I dont really see it as much besides a weapon. can you explain what makes it broken? it doesnt overcome all DR, just the very weakest varieties (silver, magic, coldiron) a dr x/+1 still works the same.Its like a bow but with worse damage, and worse crit range, worse range, and damage type magic.If you have a better solution I'm listening, I just think the wizard needs a small, weak magic attack of some sort that adds int to damage, and that he can use as often as melee attacks. I'm all for slightly weakening the class somewhere else to compensate.and yeah, a feat, or class ability, to increase the damage dice wouldnt be bad. I dont mind giving the damage a type, like fire, cold, electric, etc. further weakening if if everyone thinks theres no way to make it fit power-wise, though I dont see how its overpowered now, as illustrated above.----------------------small clarification. The bolt comes from the palm of the hand . doesnt work if the wizard has something IN their hand (as the bolt just hits the thing in their hand) and it cant be aimed if the wizard has his hands tied together - though, as it will come up eventually, it can be used as a regular attack in a grapple, like you would use a claw.----------------------if its too powerful as is, give suggestions, dont just complain.EDIT: I think we still use the DR rules from 3e, as I wasnt aware they had changed, and I'm the one running the game. lol. I'll look at this again tomorrow and look at the way 3.5 DR works.</blockquote>
