[QUOTE="Cbas_10, post: 3931170, member: 55767"] [b]I can't imagine it would ever appear in my game.[/b] First reason is that it seems a bit wonky. What does the Plane of Shadow or shadow-like properties have to do with adapting to various bits of Damage reduction? [i]Maybe[/i] a sort of precedent could be found in Shadow Conjuration/Shadow Evocation spells....but even then, those are illusions that are inferior to the spells they are imitating. Using the justification of Sure Striking doesn't work for me; that ability was rendered moot with the 3.5 DR rules. Besides, Sure Striking did not have to "duplicate" a myriad of substances/sources - it was just a minor bit of foolery that allowed an already magical weapon to act as if it were a bit more magical when hitting a creature. I think the Transmuting enhancement is quite enough, already. But, if someone really wanted to have thier PC Craft a weapon with this ability, I'd come up with a different crafting prerequisite. Shadow just doesn't do it for me. [/QUOTE]
