Weapons of Sharpness and Magic Weapons

[jeffr]

If a mage casts Weapons of Sharpness on a commander carrying magic weapons (say, an Ice Sword), would the magic weapons be Armor Piercing for the remainder of the battle. Would a Horned Helmet have it's attack as Armor Piercing? Chi Shoes, etc.?

i'm not sure about secondary attacks, like chi shoes, or hooves, or the like; but i would expect they would be AP as well.

That's my quess as well. However, all the attacks that don't count in ambidexterity (including Chi Boots and Gore from the helmet) could be distinguished from the normal attacks. Other than that and whether the weapon is ranged or not, weapons are just weapons. Whether unit has a weapon named "Jotun sword" or "Ice Sword", it is just a name and bunch of statistics. IIRC, the Eternal Guards mercenary group members wield Flambeaus without even the commander having the item, and some Machaka units and commander wield Bane Blades.

They are not. When something is given Astral Weapon/Weapons of Sharpness/Fire9 Blessing as a unit icon that effects all weapons and attacks that the unit has, even equipped ones (like the Horned Helmet Gore).

So, the Hoof of a holy knight's horse is also flaming?

i just thought of something, nataraja with stone bird, ring of the warrior, chi shoes, horned helmet, blood thorn, sword of swiftness, gloves of the gladiator, with astral weapon+ astral shield+ resist magic he would rock.
