So, let's mention like, [[SRD:Axiomatic]] first. It's a +2 enhancement. It does most of the same as Balance here (+2d6 damage against a single alignment, bypasses that kind of alignment-based DR) but grants a negative level instead of dealing HD in damage each round and potentially dazing the holder, so, Axiomatic is not as strong there since a Balance weapon can just straight kill you pretty quickly. Balance also has a scaling effect on a hit and a static one (the 20% thing), and has protection against other wielders, which are things not present on Axiomatic. It also strips away DR for other attackers for a round on a hit. But, this isn't just one alignment, it's all four extremes. Even if it were just one alignment, it would be better than the base SRD ones for each four alignment extremes. This is supposed to be a +4 enhancement, right? --[[User:Ganteka Future|Ganteka Future]] ([[User talk:Ganteka Future|talk]]) 19:27, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

Balance

So, let's mention like, SRD:Axiomatic first. It's a +2 enhancement. It does most of the same as Balance here (+2d6 damage against a single alignment, bypasses that kind of alignment-based DR) but grants a negative level instead of dealing HD in damage each round and potentially dazing the holder, so, Axiomatic is not as strong there since a Balance weapon can just straight kill you pretty quickly. Balance also has a scaling effect on a hit and a static one (the 20% thing), and has protection against other wielders, which are things not present on Axiomatic. It also strips away DR for other attackers for a round on a hit. But, this isn't just one alignment, it's all four extremes. Even if it were just one alignment, it would be better than the base SRD ones for each four alignment extremes. This is supposed to be a +4 enhancement, right? --Ganteka Future (talk) 19:27, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
