[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 3456564, member: 50987"] Sounds fair to me. FYI, the [I]ironwood [/I] spell might be better than paying for mithril; ask your DM if you can buy that spell from the local NPC druid...660 gp for a 6th level spell is a lot cheaper than 4,000 gp worth of mithril (and at caster level 11, you can strengthen up to 55 pounds of wooden gear at the same time...so be sure to take along your wooden shield, axe handles, arrows, clubs...) Be advised, your enemies have other clever (and less complicated) ways of removing the item from your posession, no matter what material you craft it out of. It could be as flashy as a [I]heat metal[/I] or [I]polymorph any object[/I] spell, or as mundane as a minotaur tackling you and prying it from your hands. Or if your DM is Lawful Evil, he could send you into a nest of rust monsters... Sundering should be the least of your worries, if your Str is only 12. ;) Get that thing enchanted to at least +1 as soon as you can afford to (magic items resist magic attacks better), invest in a good set of locking gauntlets, and buff that Strength score. The ~6K you are about to spend on your weapon could probably be better spent on locking [I]gauntlets of ogre power[/I]. [/QUOTE]
