[CSC] [SoP] The Pale Philosopher Playtest - New Class, Death Sphere expansion

[AlienFromBeyond]

The weapon isn't being used to deal the damage, the weapon is being used to deliver the Ghost Strike that is dealing the bleed damage. This might be something that needs to be brought up in either with the SoM / SoP authors though to clarify it for sure, but it isn't a combo I would allow in any of my games.

IIRC it has before and been okay'd, because the weapon being used to deliver that damage is as far as basically anything else in the game works also means the weapon is being used to deal that damage. I think that was the reasoning anyways.

I think it was a design flaw on the part of the brutal necromancer necros' author, but there's nothing to do about it now.

Agreed, Brutal Necromancer is brutally broken, but even base Necros is iffy at best on balance, certainly above the rest of the LSP spheres classes. But as you say, everyone will make the comparison (despite being a totally different non-DDS publisher).
