Fixing Weapons and Armor [3.5]

[Baron Corm]

Change "enhancement bonuses" from "enhancement" to "inherent". This goes well with the idea that they're not magical, and allows it to stack with Greater Magic Weapon. Make yourself a +5 Greatsword, and your Wizard buddy can cast GMW on it to make it +10. Probably still lackluster, but at least it's not still +5 and missing +4 worth of additional abilities.

I assume that despite being non-magical, the enhancement bonuses still count towards the +10 limit? Can you make a +10 weapon, just literally straight up +10?

Also, I'd suggest making the enhancement/inherent bonuses give +x to damage and attack. That makes them a lot more attractive.

I don't want it to stack with GMW. The new enhancement bonus is just like the old one, so it already gives + to attack and damage. The idea is that some people would now choose to make a +10 weapon, and some would stick with special weapon abilities. So yeah, you can make a +10 weapon now. I'll clarify that.
