Fleshgrinding Vampiric daggers
Does a Fleshgrinding Vampiric dagger do what I think it does? Meaning, could you keep a half a dozen on you, and when combat begins, immediately start distributing them to the bellies of your various opponents, which not only continues to harm them, but also feed you HP while you continue to fight?
Yes, they'd cost 50k each. But still -- awesome.

Or put them in your friends and turn them into human health batteries for your tank ;)
If something doesn't work, hit it.
If it still doesn't work, hit it harder.

Re: Fleshgrinding Vampiric daggers
Or jam one into a summoned minion with fast healing.
The prohibitive cost is the biggest problem with this one. 50k is not a small sum, even for high level characters.I am not seaweed. That's a B.

Re: Fleshgrinding Vampiric daggers
why does this remind me of transfusion grenades from Borderlands (2)?
Warlock Poetry?
Or ways to use me in game?
Better grab a drink...

Love the idea. Amazing thinking.

Re: Fleshgrinding Vampiric daggers
Raptor arrows are just corner casey enough that you might be able to take advantage of them.
I can't recall if arrows in general are destroyed when wielded as melee weapons or not, come to think of it.

Re: Fleshgrinding Vampiric daggers
Could Artificer infusions make this temporarily feasible? *Does not know infusions. At all.*

Re: Fleshgrinding Vampiric daggers
Unfortunately arrows used in melee are an improvised weapon. They're a ranged weapon for the purpose of magic item creation and as such inelligable for both enhancements.
Yes actually. The weapon augmentation line temporarily grants a special ability of your choice (limit based on the level of the infusion) to a weapon. The casting times are abysmal, though, unless you're willing to spend a couple action points. Even then, it'd still take two rounds to charge it up. The duration's not too bad though, so as long as you knew you were going to need this you could be prepared before stuff hit the proverbial fan.I am not seaweed. That's a B.

Re: Fleshgrinding Vampiric daggers
I've often wondered how Fleshgrinding would work on a Kensai Monk.

Re: Fleshgrinding Vampiric daggers
Technically, a monk may unarmed strike with any part of their body. So your whole body would be fleshgrinding.
That said, is there any way of getting weapon enchants on things that ignores the melee only/ranged only thing? Maybe from Ancestral Weapon or some such?
Cause this trick sounds great with ranged weapons and terrible for melee weapons.

Re: Fleshgrinding Vampiric daggers
Bloodstorm Blade (ToB) lets you treat thrown weapon attacks count as melee weapon attacks and gives any weapon you'd care to pick up a 10ft range increment.
Like I said, the big problem is that nasty 50K price-tag. Ancestral relic doesn't save you much money. Neither does Ancestral Daisho, if you'd care to take a dip in OA's samurai. Kensai can do it real good, just like he does with any other expensive combination of weapon properties, but he's limited to just the one; nevermind the alignment and RP requirements of the class.
Once again, artificer wins the game of who has the most money to throw around. Literally if you combine it with BsB. Though to be honest, a 3-5 level dip doesn't hurt an artificer nearly as bad as it would some classes. (1 for warblade then 2-4 BsB, depending on whether you'll be satisfied with thunderous throw or you demand lightning ricochet)I am not seaweed. That's a B.

Re: Fleshgrinding Vampiric daggers
Well, Lightning Ricochet kind of ruins the point of fleshgrinding.
Mostly I was just thinking that it would be great to have on a bow or some throwing knives cause of the pricetag.
Artificer with cost reduction wins the game on it's own regardless.

Add Backstabbing (or was it Masterslaying) for fun and profit!

Re: Fleshgrinding Vampiric daggers
Splitting only goes on ranged weapons. This would be a melee weapon being thrown.

Re: Fleshgrinding Vampiric daggers
Well, if your party has a permantly employed super artificer, you can get 20 of these daggers for the cost of 1.
