This Schimitar is fast (50 HP to like 25 or thity) combine that with dual wield and double attack with a second fast weapon and you are virtually unstoppable, no mater what you battle, magic or monster.... Im OK with it...
What I want to know is....what the hell is so magical and special aboiut it? No PRCO, no AC or HP boost, no +save versus ANYthing. No DEX or AGI Boost Nothing. Damage 5, Delay 24. How does a delay of 24 versus a delay of 25 give it amagic rating, or make it worth 44 PP compared to the Fine Steel Scimitar's(same damage, by the way) 6PP price? How is it any more effective, howis it any better of a weapon? Save yourself 30 or so plat,and buy aFine Steel Scimitar. better yet, ask someone like me to kill gnolls inSouthKarana,and I'll give you one, unless you arehigh enough to kill the gnols yourself, then you get a FREE one (Fine Steel). I just can see the value placed oncombine weapons, and abslutely NOTHING about them translates as magic, by normally accepted terms.
Please feel free to email me with an answer, as I am sure several people will be self-proclaimed know-it-alls, and have SOME sarcastic or rude comment to make about my "uneducated opinion." E-mail: paladin@hobbittown.org
Magic weapons can damage magical beasts. Like wisps. Accidently attack a magical NPC with your fine steel weapon and you will see: You slash Lydl the Great.... Lydl the Great is INVULNERABLE and proceeds to whup you big time.
Found this one at the Gypsy camp in Oasis of Marr. I think the vendors name was Transan. Anyone know about the Combine Morningstar. As a Druid of the Third Ring, these are my best hope for a magic weapon.
