Talk:Boneblade (3.5e Class)

Nice

Interesting class as always Eiji, I was going to make a "Necroblade class", and now I might get around to putting it in a sandbox. This looks like awesome fun to play and btw I see what you did there with "Logan" :D.--Stryker 03:53, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Animate Dead

Is the "effective spell level" for this ability your bone blade class level?

Balthuras 07:52, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

No, I'll clarify it as your character level, balanced out by it coming at 3rd to discourage easy dipping. -- Eiji-kun 08:25, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Growth

Is is possible to get two different metal bonuses? e.g Adamantine Frame+Cold Iron Frame and if so do their armor bonus's stack?

Balthuras 07:53, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

They're not intended to. Its a matter similar to a warforged picking up Adamantine Body, or such. I'll clarify later. -- Eiji-kun 08:24, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Bone Enhancement

Because changing this +1 modifier is a swift action, can i attack with my now +1 weapon, then switch it to defense before it's the end of my turn?

Balthuras 07:55, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

You mean like... "Starts out +1 attack... fight fight, swift action to defense, end turn?" Yes, that works. And next round you can be "swift to attack, attack attack, end turn." and have to spend a turn without defense, since you only get one swift a round. -- Eiji-kun 08:27, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for all these clarifications :D

oh, also with this ability, does this stack with armor and weapon enhancements? -- Balthuras 10:52, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

You know, you can put all these questions in one section, it's ok. Did a little formatting to clean it up. Anyways, its good to ask these questions, thats something else I should clarify. It does stack, though I didn't say HOW it stacks. I'll have it read that "once it has a +1 enchantment you may add special abilities as normal" and that the +X bonus does not count towards the price. Incidentally this has the side effect of making enhancements cheaper, as you can get, say, Flaming for 2000g instead of the 8000g normally (since you need a +1 Flaming weapon normally, which is a total of +2).

As for enhancement, you are enhancing the bone, not "bone in sword shape" so it applies to any weapon when valid. For example, a Keen Speed bone would only keep Speed if turned into a hammer, but will regain keen once it returns to piercing or slashing.

Adding things now. -- Eiji-kun 11:24, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Boneblade

(This referring to the ability to draw or "create" boneblades)

If i am to have my boneblades magically enhanced, does this only enhance the type of boneblade i have effectively equipped at the time? Or am i enhancing my bones, and the benefits of enhancing transfer with the change of boneblade weapon?

e.g Marcus the lvl 1 Boneblade, gets his longsword boneblade enhanced with a +1 bonus, later that day he comes up against a skeleton, he changes from his longsword+1 (boneblade) to his Mace (boneblade).

Also, if i were to have my boneblade sundered, do i lose my enhances to my previously sundered boneblade? or am i effectively enhancing my bones, so i can just recreate another longsword+1 (boneblade). Ty :) -- -- Balthuras 10:52, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

See above. -- Eiji-kun 11:24, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

How much damage does the boneblade do? And what is tombtainted soul?

As much as the weapon it duplicates. If you are proficient in scimitars, you can draw a 1d6, 18-20/x2 boneblade. Likewise, 2d4, 20/x4 scythes and, 1d8, 19-20/x2 longswords, etc. As for the other, Tomb Tainted Soul is a feat from Heroes of Horror or Libris Mortis, I forget. It basically says "you're healed by negative energy and hurt by positive" like you were undead, even though you're not. (PS: Don't forget to sign your posts. The code is ~~~~.

Bone blades

Hey a topic of discussion has come up while playing this class, does the bone blades count as your own alignment for the purposes of overcoming dmg reduction?
