That being said GM Fiat rules in my games...And THAT being said, a GM who wants to sunder a weapon will, regardless of bonus. And a GM who routinely sunders weapons will end up either at least one player short (I'll just leave) or at least one player who never, ever invests in magical weapons.Now, for fun, on to his question:I'm going to vote no, along with everyone else. But then I'm going to point out that you did it wrong! FIRST you must transfer all it's +5 to defending (so that you have effectively a nonmagically striking masterwork weapon), THEN you cast Greater Magic Weapon on it. Now there's no overlap issue! Of cousre, I'd still rule "No" in that situation. But by RAW that does muddy the waters a bit as far as I can see.I'd rule that you can only transfer one. Because that's how I see the magic working. +1 is magically defending, +5 is "other" magic, and can't be used to transfer. But that's really a judgement call as far as I can see.</blockquote>
