Talk:Masterwork Variant (3.5e Variant Rule)

Comments
It doesn't seem that very many of the weapon abilities are good for ranged weapons. Maybe add something that increases range? Also can I create masterwork arrows in this variant?


 * Do you have any suggestions for things of similar power that would apply to ranged weaponry? And I don't see a problem with masterwork arrows, just divide the cost by 50 per arrow. --Ghostwheel (talk) 14:56, 1 December 2012 (UTC)


 * I've actually got some ideas for ranged weapons and for ammunition. I would say maybe do away with composite bows as their own thing and just make Composite (+1-2 Str) one of the features. Barbed arrows are a possibility (though Jagged might be essentially the same thing), as are some of the tradional D&D arrow types (flight and sheaf). Increased range is a definite possibility. Maybe Forceful (On 20, knocks opponents back 5 or 10 feet if they fail a Reflex Save DC 10+Weapon Tier+Strength modifier (or other damage modifier). -TheDarkest 02:10 AM, 4 October 2013 (UTC)


 * I really like this, but the only one that doesn't quite make sense is the raging quality. All the other stuff I can see having some mundane mechanical reason for doing what it does, but I don't get why a mundane weapon suddenly gets better when you rage. Just a minor quibble, really, as all of this looks good; can't wait to see some additions.Spanambula (talk) 08:37, 25 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Being the one behind that (its on the original too) the answer is "because its fun".


 * But if you need a fluff reason... the weapon's balance suits itself to reckless swings over attempts at precision. -- Eiji-kun (talk) 08:42, 25 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Ok, fine, but here I'm doing math now, and say I want a breastplate with 5 masterwork qualities. Tricky, but hey, who doesn't want a really useful breastplate? That will be.... yes, 983,240 gp. So I'll pick that up and pay for the breastplate once I reach Epic levels, I guess... Spanambula (talk) 08:56, 25 January 2014 (UTC)


 * I would suggest than on the weapon quality Armor Piercing you reword it to include bypassing 2 points of hardness as well as 2 points of DR. This would make it more useful against objects.

Rewording
I did a bit of rewording, so you'll need to make sure I got your intention correct with the mechanics. --Aarnott (talk) 14:24, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
