[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 3348426, member: 2525"] I think you are looking for a level of realism that is not present in this particular game. As mentioned above, and mentioned elsewhere, there is very little realism as far as wounds go with this game. People fall thousands of feat and walk away fine. They get blown up by fireball spells and dodge out of the way without a single burn. They get frozen, chopped, drowned, and all sorts of stuff that is fatal in the real world and which is barely a scratch in this game. People get chopped with a sword twenty times and walk away fine in a rountine battle. There is no such realism for other wounds in this game, and I don't see why it would need to be there for this rule. It worked fine in 1e, so it's not like we don't have an example of the use of this type of rule in this type of game without disaster. I get that you don't want this kind of weapon in your kind of game. Fair enough. But the OP does, and frankly I think it's a nice idea and so do some others. So why not help out with how this weapon should be added to the game as consistently as possible with the current set of rules, rather than bash the idea entirely? [/QUOTE]
