[QUOTE="Michael Tree, post: 138168, member: 1455"] In other settings I would agree with you, but the Knights of Solamnia in Dragonlance have a similar cult of the sword. Ancestral swords are very important to them. Just look at all the hullabaloo surrounding the Brightblade with Sturm and Steel. Actually, Sturm is a great example of this game mechanic working. Sturm recovered the Brightblade fairly early in his career, but continued using it until he was fairly high level. In addition, among the knights, many of the most important magic items are considered important not because of great enchantments, but because they were carried by important people, like Huma, or Vinas Solamnus, or Sturm. It obviously wouldn't apply to two swords though. Perhaps to a sword and shield, or a sword and armor, or just the sword, with the option of spending a feat to gain the ability with other items like armor and shields. [/QUOTE]
