Favorite weapon enhancements?
hey all,
so i am stuck at home over the next few days, got my wisdom teeth taken out. so i am probs going to be trolling these boards for a while and ultimately building my human half minotaur frenzied barbarian trip build. for those of you who have not seen it, here is the thread that has most of the discussion about it. pardon my use of it as an instant messenger service, but i was bored in the library.
so anyway, to the point, i was wondering what everyones favorite weapon enhancements are? i will be using a scorpion chain with the whirling and brash enhancements, and have room for another. if it isnt in the dmg, could you please state where it is and what the enhancement does? thanks greatly
and if i at any time dont make sense, i got some extra strength vicodin (750 mg i think) so i am a little wonky. hope you guys understand. and thanks for the help!Spoiler
In the past, I played Sir Theo Roost.
I am soon to begin playing his heir, Dora the Destroya

Re: Favorite weapon enhancements?
My favourite weapon enhancements are the Transmuting and Morphing enhancements.
Transmuting changes the type of metal the weapon is made out of, to morph to beat the DR of whatever you just hit it with, if possible.
Morphing lets you change the weapon between, say, a greatsword and a glaive.
My artificier greatly enjoys the use of it. Really suits the adaptable role of the character in his party.

Re: Favorite weapon enhancements?
collision from the SRD and the XPH, a +2, it gives you a +5 damage that multiplies with crits (keen collision falchion FTW!!!)
also I like the morphing weapon enchancement, I got ANY weapon I want whenever I want (MIC) couple it with metalline (change to be any kind of special metal), transmuting (automatically change to bypass any DR) to have the ultimate weapon. All in the MIC
Particualarly deadly on an warblade.

Vicious, and Explosive (the later especially on reach weapons).
Nothing says "mindless killing machine" better then a man with a huge sword that hurts him as it SEVERELY hurts his opponents.
Also 'Warning' and 'Eager' together to make as sure as possible that you *always* win init. checks.

Re: Favorite weapon enhancements?
I like wounding, no save ability damage is always fun and gets quite potent on high HD/low con creatures.

Re: Favorite weapon enhancements?
Poking around Crystal Keep a while ago I found Earthbound (no relation). If I read it right, it increases your effective enhancement bonus by 2 as long as you and your target are on the ground. For a +1 equivalent. Not that bad until everything starts flying.
It's been a bit, GitP. If you're reading this, you're either digging through old stuff, or I've posted for the first time in forever.
If you want to stay in touch, reach out to me on twitter (same username).
The best answer is always to ask your DM.
Unless you're the DM, in which case you should talk to your players.

Re: Favorite weapon enhancements?
Warning, it gives +5 initative.
It was funny a while ago because he let the bonuses stack so people would just duel wield these all the time for huge +10 intiatives.

Re: Favorite weapon enhancements?
A crit-based AoO build can have fun with Bodyfeeder. A similar PsyWarrior build could have a lot of fun with Mindfeeder.
Overall my favorite is probably Collision. Better than pretty much every other damage enhancement.
Discipline weapons from ToB. Basically a flat +3 attack bonus.
Wounding, though at higher levels is definitely loses its usefulness. Still, TWF wounding weapons can quickly chip into someone's hit points.Proudly without a signature for 5 years. Wait... crap.

Re: Favorite weapon enhancements?
I like vampiric. deals an extra d6 and heals you that amount. Sure it isn't alot, but if you can find a solid way to get multiple attacks (high BAB, Flurry, etc) then you're set. Tack on wounding too for extra fun.

Perhaps Impaling if you want to go for consistency though I'm not sure if you can use activated weapons while enraged.

Always attack a man’s strengths, No one ever expects you to attack the strongest part of the fort. Up the middle that’s where the action is. And it’s the same in life. Don’t run away, attack them head on as their coming at you at full speed. Because that my friend is living.

Re: Favorite weapon enhancements?
Brutal Surge. Your attack gets a bull rush attempt, +2 if you're using a 2-handed weapon. It sends your enemy skidding back upon a successful attempt, but you don't have to move with your enemy. Limited uses per day, but it's pretty cool.

Vorpal
While I virtually never hit with an attack, when I do I usually roll two 20s in a row"If Andrex is DMing, check everything for traps. There will be one xP"
I would be Andrex
