an idea for a few weapons

i have a few ideas about weapons...
i was thinking about:
a greataxe or warhammer with Balagarn's Iron Horn on hit,
a greatsword with hammer of the gods on hit called blessed hammer,
a scythe with flame strike on hit, 20positive and 20electric dmg called vortex
a whip with Searing Light on hit, 2d12magic and 20sonic dmg,
a whip with blind on hit, 25lvl unique power and 2d12 magic dmg called devil's might,
a kama with blind on hit, 25lvl unique power and 2d12 magic dmg called grief,
a kama with power word stun, 20divine dmg or 20positive dmg called fortitude, (divine coz you said yourself that divine is reserved for monks, pallys and clerics)

i was also thinking about an item that could upgrade negative positive and magic dmg on weapons... like holy egg but it drops only in d16

They sound pretty awesome. Shame they would be way too powerful for KT.

On hit spells are very server intensive. I actually run "on hit" effects on most of the weapons, but it's my own custom programming that is heavily streamlined to avoid lag. More complicated spells would quickly bog the server down. I know of only one other weapon with a non-custom on hit effect, and that's Grimbold's Hammer. I figured with just one of those in the game, the server could handle it.

Great ideas! Who knows, you may even see an item named after one of your suggestions in game!

I will try to implement item ideas, but keep in mind I developed a spreadsheet to calculate item levels. It's not something I arbitrarily do. The spreadsheet helps me ensure that all items of similar power are set for approximately the same level. In other words, you won't find a +12 enhancement on an item for level 1 players.

The best way to help me program an item into the game is to give me as much information as possible. That includes a list of the properties (+12 enhancement, immune to mind spells, etc). Make sure the properties are appropriate to the module (similar to other items of the level you have in mind). Also give me an item name and description (I prefer funny descriptions).

Speaking of funny items, has anyone found the Dead Fish yet?

I have the fish... Its very silly. very effective too.

I would like to see a bow for arcane archers, similar to Infinty (makes its own ammo), but the ammo be an ordinary arrow to take advantage of the AA Enchant Arrow feat. Also to make the bow upgradable with gems to add a damage type.

Maybe throw in some bonus spell slots, spell focus feats or points into spellcraft to accent the "arcane" side the class.

Bows are very limited in what they can do. A bow isn't like a melee weapon. For example, swords can have an enchantment that adds to both AB and damage. Bows are limited to AB bonuses only. Basically, a bow only is useful towards hitting the target. All damage effects (what happens after you hit) come from the ammunition.

There are some bows with unlimited ammunition, but the types of ammunition that can be added are very strictly limited. In other words, I can't make +20 unlimited arrows. I think the maximum plus is +5.

Sorry to say this, but bows are pretty poorly implemented, and there's not much I can do about it.

I know about the +5 cap on unlimited ammo, but this +5 superceded the arcane archers ability to enchant the arrow, because it is a magic (+5) arrow.

If the unlimited ammo was a mundane arrow then a level 29-30 arcane archer would be firing +15's In fact a level 11 or above arcane archer would be doing better with a mundane arrow than a +5...


I figured added enchantment and elemental damage to the bows would be pretty tricky, if not impossible, but its worth asking.

a double bladed sword called Kha's sword.

Hi Sarah,

Any chance of a one handed divine based weapon that's usable by non-paladins / CoT?

My barbarian is great fun to play when he's paired up with Divine Fury, unfortunately this means that he can't use the Barbarian Set or the Rusty Set as he can't wear the shield and because he's not a Paladin or Champion of Torm, he can't use Sword of the Spirit. As a result he tends to die a lot in Hell if attacked by 2 (or more) creatures. It would be nice if could wear a set (for the bonuses) and wield a weapon capable of Divine damage.

How about:
The Word of The Lord
"For the Word of the Lord is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing assunder of soul and spirit, and the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart" Hebr 4:12

Dwarven Waraxe
+12
+20 Divine Damage
+20 Piercing Damage
Haste
Keen
+10 Initiative
On Hit Divine Damage Lvl 20 (Less than Divine Fury to make up for the benefit of wearing a shield)
Restrictions: Good. D15 boss killed


Thanks again for all the hours of entertainment you've given me.
