[QUOTE="Torchiest, post: 5482196, member: 6670682"] Good points, all. I had definitely planned on having [I]Coinspinner[/I] make some brief cameos, and I have some solid ideas for [I]Dragonslicer [/I]being chased around by members of the Cult of the Dragon. I'd also really like to see [I]Doomgiver [/I]get some center stage time, since I always felt like it was underutilized in the original books. Which Sword(s) did you let them get ahold of? Were they able to keep them for long, or did they get snatched away by the vagaries of existence, as they tend to be? I'd love to hear more details about how you worked them into your campaign. I've come up with some names and ideas for powers: [LIST] [*][I]Lightbringer [/I]- Similar to [I]Dragonslicer[/I], except it works against the Undead. I'd debated making it need to be exposed to sunlight at regular intervals to "stay charged" or something like that. Symbol is a sunburst. [*][I]Backstabber[/I] - Provides permanent [I]improved invisibility [/I]and is poisonous. Symbol is a curved dagger. Maybe it could cause paranoia or something if used too frequently. [*][I]Farseer [/I]- Provides permanent [I]clairaudience[/I], [I]clairvoyance[/I], and [I]ESP[/I]. The drawback could be simple information overload in crowded places. Symbol might be a pair of closed eyes or maybe some wavy lines. [*][I]Windwalker[/I] - ? [*][I]Tombsealer[/I] - ? [/LIST] I have some other names that aren't as good, but those are my top ideas so far. I've considered keep swords like [I]Soulcutter[/I] and [I]The Mindsword[/I] way way off the map for a long time, or just not using them at all, since the former is not very "fun" and the latter seems far too overpowered to be introduced in any but the most delicate circumstances. Something else I've considered is renaming and "re-symboling" some of the existing Swords to keep it confusing and/or fresh. [/QUOTE]
