Though I'm sure enchanters are having a BALL right now, trying to make stuff for fighters. Which, really, is a bit sad. I'd love to see fighters have their own ability to make amazing gear - but it's hardly an "issue" - there's so much else that's going on/being updated.

Bane Weapons:
Enabling 1d2, 1d4, 1d6, etc racial specific damage addition to a weapon.
The crafting option is limited and scales with mundane levels, higher the level, better crafting options are available.
Weapon made is tied to item level restriction to avoid "en masse" production and giving out to low levels.
"Bane" property scales with weapon size, the bigger the weapon is, the better damage cap it gets to off-set the possible of inventory hogging of small weapon users.
Odds of success will be scaled depending on the weapon trying to be improved.
Successfully enchanted weapon will give off the red glowing visual effect


Additional Crafting Menu:
Mundanes can add a feat to their equipments (Blinding Speed to Boots, Self-Concealment I and II to Shield, Improved Whirlwind Attack on Belts, Oath of Wrath on Bracers, Inspire Courage on Cloaks, Rallying Cry on Helms, and Perfect Health on Armours)
Availability of the crafting for each feat will be tied to the Mundane Class level.
Odds of success will be scaled appropriately depending on the material of the original equipment and the "strength" of the additional feat.
Epic feats included in the crafting will be available at a much later level of the mundane, and will probably be at around 20+.
Level restriction on the item will also be applied depending on the strength of the property added.

You could have +1d4, +1d4, +1d4 and Keen on a bronze weapon with a temp 1d6 essence put on top of that.

But something people are forgetting is that Bronze has almost a 15% chance to get damaged in battle compared to the 5% chance of other metals. Not to mention it only has 15-20 points.. You can quite literally destroy a suite of extremely enchanted bronze armour and weapons in a single grinding session if you didn't hit a forge half way through.

• Keen (enchant)
  +1d4 massive critical (enchant)
  +1 str (enchant, that with another additional str will give another +1 dmg)
  +4 elemental X damage (permanent essence)
  +1d6 eleemntal Y damage (temporary essence)

You're not using rainbow weapons?
Ignore 1d4 massive criticals, that's terrible. Find an enchanter, get them to whip you up a sword with 1d4 elemental damage of as many types they can muster, and keen. I'm pretty sure you can then slap an essence on it but someone else should probably chime in before you do so.

Now, if Vamp Regen worked

Vampiric regeneration does not always function, but no pattern has been found in the (scattered) times it does not function.

It appears that two vampiric regeneration properties can trigger on the same hit, so it effectively stacks. Just remember that the item property doesn't trigger for every hit, so even with two properties, you might see only one vampiric regeneration message after a hit. --The Krit 19:52, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
