Aww, the WYSIWYG editor seems to be gone now.
I've seen a lot of threads where people seem to think they should be able to use their slashing and piercing weapons as bludgeoning weapons, using the flat side of the blade or the pommel or some such. Personally, I don't think that real weapons work that way, but when has reality ever gotten in the way of magic items?
Cudgel Crystal
Price: 1000 gp (least), 3000 gp (lesser), 5000 gp (greater)
Body Slot: -- (weapon crystal)
Caster Level: 5
This crystal is brown and gray in color and completely opaque.
Any attempt to affix a Cudgel Crystal to a Bludgeoning Weapon automatically fails.
Least: The weapon is treated as a Bludgeoning weapon instead of its normal type, but does damage as if it were one size category smaller than it is.
Lesser: The weapon is treated as a Bludgeoning weapon instead of its normal type, with no penalty to damage.
Greater: The weapon is treated as a Bludgeoning weapon in addition to its normal weapon type.
Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and Armor, Greater Magic Weapon
Cost to create: 500 gp, 40 xp, 1 day (least); 1500 gp, 120 xp, 3 days (lesser); 2500 gp, 200 xp, 5 days(greater)
You can always just change every instance of "Bludgeoning" to either "Piercing" or "Slashing" and change the physical description if you want to have one like it. I'll probably do it myself anyway, but I don't want to clutter these forums with redundant items.
Any feedback?
