[QUOTE="Hitman187, post: 5598555, member: 6678313"] True having VT proc every hit seems overpowered; but having to recast VT on it every time i don't see the point of the weapon. VT is a touch spell which is easier to hit with than a sword in most cases, and all the extra complications for just changing a longsword of storing for an extra 3-4 damage and temp HP per casting into it, of only one spell seems highly underpowered. My goal was to make it Maximize Spell instead, if not both. I am making a new character for a high level game, 13th level Eberron setting with Pathfinder rules; unfortunately I have to be the tank, 75% of physical damage, the only melee, and the miscellaneous tracker/scout/diplomat. Had this weapon worked every hit I would be able to turn myself into a tank just by hitting back, ideally gaining 36 (or 72 with Maximize and Empower) temp hp per hit, to offset my lower HP and AC. While trying to derive a formula earlier I came up with this, although your "formula" sounded a little more legitimate. 12,315-MW longsword=12000-+1enchant=10,000-price for dragonshard atonement=9,900/spell level (3+2 from empower)=1980/caster level(9 min) =220. So it would look like MW weapon+dragonshard+enchantment bonus+(220*effective spell level*effective CL) If my formula is correct i cauclated a Maximize/Empowered +1 Bloodstone blade would cost around 30,500 (bumbping the CL up from 15 to 16 for the extra 1d6) [/QUOTE]
