[QUOTE="Nazerel, post: 2266785, member: 24002"] A few more questions that have come up concerning the sunblade. The DMG describes all sunblades as always being of good alignment. Does this mean that all sunblades are treated as good aligned for the purpose of bypassing DR/good? I would say yes as it would make sense to me given the weapon's other abilities against evil creatures, but the text doesn't explicitly state this. I've been looking at the Item Familiar variant rules in Unearthed Arcana to replace the Summon Familiar ability of the hexblade class. My particular hexblade build would wield a sunblade and have an alignment of LN since hexblades can't be good aligned without suffering severe penalties to their abilities. The Item Familiar rules state the following: Basically, an ex-paladin NPC willingly left the sunblade in the hexblade's care (long story), as per the True Inheritance ruling. Now, does the sunblade's alignment shift to LN to match the new owner, and if so, does it lose its ability to bypass DR/good (if it has this ability to begin with) as well as its other bonuses against evil creatures as a result, keeping in mind that, unlike a holy avenger in the previous example, a sunblade doesn't explicitly have the holy ability?
