Running a 5-8th level game (3.5) and wanted to throw in some really cool weapons but, sadly, most of the neat weapons I want to add will be out of the PC's price range.
How unbalancing is it to remove the "weapons must be at least +1 before they can have other magical abilities" restriction. The first problem that immediately comes to mind is the fact that a +1 Flaming Long-sword seems to be dwarfed by a +0 Flaming Shock Long-Sword.
Any Idea why the designers put this rule in in the first place? Are there other pitfalls I'm missing? Is there another way to solve this problem?
