The "worst result on the table" at least lets you hit Daemons and Ethereals without penalty..nondisclosed_email@example.com (BassJam)Sat, 01 May 2004 08:40:19 +0000 Magic Weapons vs. Runeshttps://bwarhammerquest.runboard.com/p555169,from=rss#post555169https://bwarhammerquest.runboard.com/p555169,from=rss#post555169I want my Imperial Noble to have a magical rapier at some point so I can feel more effective while being killed by Greater Daemons and the like. This raises the nitpicky question: Is any weapon with a rune considered magical? Evidence in favor of "yes" as I see it: - A plain old Magic Sword, as opposed to any other weapons on the Magic Weapon & Armor table, is worth a measly 25 gold, so being just "magic" is usually more a side effect than a power. - Under the description of the Spelleater Rune, the wording specifically says that the rune can be applied to "any bladed weapon" (i.e. magical or non-magical) and then refers to the weapon that the rune is applied to as a "magical" weapon. - When the Imperial Noble gets a rune grafted on a weapon for being heroic (under his special Settlement Events table), the weapon is said to have "extra magical powers". Evidence against: - The Dwarf Runesmith has one rune that just makes the weapon it's applied to magical. I see this as a just the worst result on the table; however, it could be implied to mean that you need a special rune to make a weapon magical, and that runes that give weapons magical powers don't necessarily make the *weapon* magical. Any thoughts? nondisclosed_email@example.com (muddlewait)Mon, 26 Apr 2004 09:26:37 +0000
