[QUOTE="StGabriel, post: 442584, member: 8225"] [b]magic weapons[/b] Well, the Excalibur idea works for casters, with core rules. I ran a druid back a few compaigns ago that was way into hunting and archery. One of his goals in life was to perfect himself as a hunter/archer and he saw his magical abilities as a way to do this. To that end he continually upgraded his bow over levels. I think that was a very good usage of the upgrading rules. I don't think it was video-gamish at all. Excalibur upgrading with Arthur could have been Merlin behind the scenes working his mojo. If you wanted to allow magical weapons to upgrade without a caster then I would recommend writing up an alternate Craft Magic Arms and Armor feat that worked for noncasters. It should be less powerful than the feat for casters. Perhaps it should draw larger amount of XP's in return for not costing gold (or if you still want to take gold away from your players, find a way to justify that). It should have level limits for +'s but no pre-reqs for spells. --- StGabriel, the Taoist saint. [/QUOTE]
