A friend is creating a Knight of the Raven, from Expedition to Castle Ravenloft.
One of the items he's looking at getting is the Sunsword (pg 210-211)
It's an awesome item (+1 bastard sword that can use shortsword proficiency - so eliminates the need for exotic weapon proficiency). If you bond with it, it gets better. The "better" comes with a cost though -- "
With the bonded effect, it has a cost to the user ...
"On any day the bonded wielder draws the Sunsword, you forfeit 8 hit points and accrue a skill check penalty of –2 for that day. These costs fade 24 hours later, unless you again draw the Sunsword."
A couple questions:
I would think that, once you draw it, you can sheathe and draw it as many times as desired over the next 24 hours without additional cost. So I basically read the "once a day" as a 24 hour period - do you agree?
What if you draw it and don't sheathe it for a week? Do the penalties fade in 24 hours, then do not occur again until after you redraw the sword?
What if you get someone else to draw it (like a squire)?
Thanks in advance
