Okay... having an argument with one of my players.
The character carries around a Gargantuan +1 Keen Adamantine Great Scimitar. The character is a 10th level Half-Fey Sorcerer with a very high Charisma (28).
There are two spells he wants to abuse...
1) Whirling Blade (Complete Arcane, Sor/Wiz-2).
He claims that the sword would attack at +15 to hit (+5 BAB, +9 Cha, +1 Weapon), doing 6d6+10 to each target hit.
2) Animate Weapon (Complete Mage, Sor/Wiz-3)
He claims that the sword would attack at +22 to hit (+12 BAB animated object, +9 Cha, +1 Weapon), doing 6d6+10 each hit. It would have 148hp & 20 Hardness
I would like thoughts on both, but my main contention is that a 3rd level Sor/Wiz spell produces almost the same effect as a 6th level Cleric spell. Better, in some ways, with the Swift Concentration skill-trick.
