im playing a warforged artificer and ive got a question about the personal weapon augmentation...if i give my slam attack construct bane, does this effect me in any way? i dont have any of the books right now, so i cant really look it up myself

It doesn't, just like if you give a gauntlet fiery it doesn't hurt the wielder at all.

yeah but a gauntlet is different than using a part of your body...and, though i might be mistaken, doesnt a bane weapon give a negative level to a creature using a weapon of their bane?

ex: goblin using a goblin bane mace

i could be, and more than likely am, wrong...but i dont have the book in front of me at the moment so i have no idea

it wont hurt you unless you actualy start hitting yourself, i would recomend you against doing that...

Bane weapons (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/magicWeapons.htm#bane)

No mention of negative levels; Holy/Unholy and Anarchic/Axiomatic do that, but not Bane. The only bad thing that could happen is if your character has an older brother who makes him hit himself...

Nope, it doesn't. There are several instances where it makes perfect sense for a race to widely manufacture and wield bane weapons that would work against their own type. Dragonborn with dragonbane weapons, drow with elfbane weapons...

... demons could get a ton of use out of evil outsider-bane weapons, between the Blood War and their own eternal infighting...
