    Question on Final Death Enchantment.

    Here is the Enchant:


    I know that it says 2d6 Magic vs Undead and 2d4 Divine vs Evil ... However, I am almost certain that they will both end up as Magic Damage. My question is, what is the affect actually meant to be?

    It's pretty handy against necromancers. Means you get to hit the necromancer for some bonus damage and his summoned creatures for a little more.

    You're right in thinking they'll both become magic damage though and as such they won't stack when you're happy slapping some evil undead.

    As for what the effect was meant to be? You'd need to ask Kealdorn that question...

      The intent is as shown on the recipe. However, the intent isn't possible with this game. You'll end up with magic damage twice, which is useless, as undead are evil. In the past, we've replaced the 2d4 divine v. evil with 1d4 divine.

          Hmm, does that mean if you put Holy and Undead bane on the same sword it would also be acceptable to get the 1d8 vs. evil from Holy changed to 1d4 or 1d3 divine vs. anything?

          Just curious, as it would make a lot more sense.

            IMO, this is a slightly different situation. The Final Death enchantment places both on the sword, and are sold as a package deal like such. Taking two enchantments that you know will conflict and willingly placing them in the same weapon then you should expect them to continue to conflict. Certainly more variation in the enchants would be nice, but that's why there is the bigger expensive package deal, if you want both enchants to coexist.

              I'd tap that enchantment on a +3 greatsword.

                Does Evil have an equivalent to this? Oh and by the way this can be found in the BH store, to be honest I am not sure why. Seeing as we are generally evil and use undead.

                  Yes, Evil does have an equivalent and ironically it is sold in the Arbiter's Alliance store

                    That makes complete sense. I was also curious why our elemental damage weapons are in the 1d4 range and not 1d6. It could be that I am missing something, but with everyone getting max HP, doesn't it make sense to keep it at d6? I also do not know if npc's get max HP or do they get average? if it is average then the d4 rule makes complete sense, if not than it doesn't.

                      Kaeldorn's crafting system is balanced around hating PCs.

                      Hmm, does that mean if you put Holy and Undead bane on the same sword it would also be acceptable to get the 1d8 vs. evil from Holy changed to 1d4 or 1d3 divine vs. anything?
                      Nope. Holy is 1d6 v. all evil, Undeadbane is 2d6 v. Undead. It's as intended.
