Magic Items under CBM

Hey sombre.. in defense for some of the new people it takes a lot more than 5 minutes to really get a handle on modding capability.

And there are probably better ways to get them interested - but as far as I'm concerned you're one of the best there are... to bad we can't have modding classes.

I always wanted to make a "light lance" that cast solar brilliance and had the #charge tag.
Can't do it. Wish there were easier ways to add spells to weapons, or tages to units.

Of weapon and item modding? I don't think so. Maybe to fully realise what you can do with all the existing weapons listed in edi's DB and clever tricks with secondaryeffects etc, but that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about basic limitations. Understanding that weapons and items aren't the same thing.


If you changed the description of the wraithsword to say it wreathes the user in shadows or whatever, you could certainly justify extra def. Depends what you want the wraith sword to be - to me it clearly isn't suited to being an anti SC weapon, since its defining characteristic is partial lifedrain, which is basically useful against chaff. Does added def make it better as a chaff harvester? High enough def would. It would all around boost it of course.

I kinda like the idea of the wraithsword getting 2 attacks personally, making the most of the partial lifedrain.

hmmm.
Very problematic with Quickness.
getting 2 times partial lifedrain is one thing...but 4?

25 dgems,not touching the stats and 2 attacks could be ok...maybe.

Maybe giving the Hell sword 2 attacks?
You gotta tone the stats down a bit though,for this to work.
