[QUOTE="Greenfield, post: 5863897, member: 6669384"] Well, it's actually something between this particular DM and me. he likes me way too much. I have to be careful at the table, lest my view on things becomes the game reality. He folds way too easily when we disagree on just about anything. So when he was handing out goodies, and the prize of the pot comes with a bow and a gift tag already made out, well, it just feels wrong. And when the weapon makes no sense, in that that same weapon didn't display any special damage bonus, either as extra dice or as points from Charisma, when the enemy Bard used it against us, well that just makes it feel more wrong. It looked like he was making it up on the spot. He described it as a Rapier that did two dice of damage instead of one, and three against Lycanthropes, among other things. When someone questioned how we should price it, he had to start considering it from a rules basis, so "three dice against Lycanthropes" became "Lycanthrope Bane", which would actually make it do four dice against them. (Two dice base, plus two more from Bane.) And while it might be a relatively weak +6, it's a +6 in a game where nobody else has ever seen a +4. [/QUOTE]
