Holy Sword Wands

[Phantom Lamb]

Posting this on behalf of another player's idea...

I think the holy sword wands are maxed out with spell level - like +5, 2d6 vs evil or something? Puts team evil at a severe disadvantage, since so many can invest 10 points in UMD and be badass against them.

Suggestion is to reduce the caster level on that wand.

[Kaybrie]

Caster level doesn't influence the damage.

And even the duration bugs on the weapon.

I'd just say make the damn wand uncraftable, I think the notion of non-paladins all over the place in Sundren using the thing is silly.

[kuscotopia]

Aye. They are bugged all around.

With proper exploiting you can have a holy avenger dealing all sorts of elemental damage to boot. I say leave the (un)holy avengers to the (un)pallys.*

*With exception of UMD power houses with the gall to wield the actual thing.

Fighter + Bard = use all the wands + 9th scrolls lol

[jarlexel]

No, 10 UMD means you can use all wands for high level scrolls it takes a ton of umd, high CHA, ghero, and it's anything + bard, fighter, paladin, half dragons anything plus bard.

As far as wand oh holy sword, a lot of people are using it and it is rather cheesy and gives little motives for weapon enchants but team evil can use it too for PVE, but I agree to get rid of it.

[Doubtful]

I'd be happy to see it gone.

I'd also be happy with the ic persecution of those who make the wands, varying on deity...

They are coming for you, Thresh! RUN!

I'd like to see it made so only paladins could use it, rather than undo with it completely. Not all of us paladins can cast the spell.

I'm already on the run, and my holy sword wand ain't that useful. Lemme tell ya.

But no, I suppose that's a pretty good point. There isn't, as far as I know, a 'evil guy' version of this spell.

[OnyxTigress]

There isn't, as far as I know, a 'evil guy' version of this spell.

There is, however, a neat template that they get.

[ManUtd4Ever]

Angus used to have a potion that afforded him the same attributes. Perhaps we should nerf those too.

[jarlexel]

That is a good point, I would have to agree with Onyx on that, I used one all the time when I was a pally, why not just make them like super costly, maybe

[Grey-Moth]

... why not just make them like super costly, maybe

They're already my most expensive wand and for some people, money isn't really a issue.

While I will be sad to see one of the few very useful wands float out the door, I suppose it can't be really helped. It is somewhat silly.

[ManUtd4Ever]

money isn't really a issue.

I have to agree. There was a time when coin meant something. Now, there are too many ways to generate 50,000 gp in a day.

Holy crap, Leithian is in the wrong business...
