Greenhilt Sword's per day limit
So, in #1046 Roy tells his father that the sword (probably) a daily limit on uses.
However, have we seen it being used more than once in a single day? As far as I remember there were only three instances of it being used: In both Durkon* fights and versus the female frost giant, which all occurred on different days.

Re: Greenhilt Sword's per day limit
Roy certainly seems to treat the returning property as having infinite charges. I suppose he might have read about it in the book, but it would be quite interesting of the sword suddenly didn't come back.

Re: Greenhilt Sword's per day limit
I made it four times in the Banquet Hall fight. There's several ways it could work though.
1) Sword has Returning property permanently.
2) Sword has Returning x/day.
3) While in Green Fire mode, sword has Returning.
4) While in Green Fire mode, sword has Returning (x/day)
5) While in Green Fire mode, sword has Returning. Using returning reduces the duration of GFM by one round.
Or ki points. Or psionic power points. Or essentia.
Really there's a lot of variables that I doubt Rich will specify, as doing so means nitpickers be nitpickin'.

An explanation of why MitD being any larger than Huge is implausible.

Re: Greenhilt Sword's per day limit
I'd guess that the returning (though it's actually teleporting, and can be summoned whenever he wants rather than only right after throwing it) ability is unlimited, while the self-healing and buffing abilities have daily limits. The sword (but not Roy) lighting up with green fire for increased damage might also be unlimited, but I'm less sure about that.

Re: Greenhilt Sword's per day limit
The Teleporting psionic weapon property would fit.
The Called weapon property from Pathfinder might fit with Roy's ability to summon it - but that has a 100 ft range limit. 3.5 has a "summon from anywhere on the plane" property for armour (Called, in MIC) but I couldn't find anything like that for weapons.
Maybe people who think there is, read the armour version, assume there's an identical version for weapons, and don't actually check the book?Last edited by hamishspence; 2019-05-03 at 02:38 PM.
