[DF] request for build advice: ridiculous magic weapon

[Dwarf99]

Modified Crushing Damage is a Powers thing. You can actually apply modifiers to strength based damage by treating it as an innate attack... that 156 point build would be 3900 FP. If you follow the same assumptions as GURPS Magic (either p. 20 or 22, IDR which) the price per FP is $33 for a total price of 128,700.

Thanks everyone! I think I have a handle on this, now. Of course, for the sake of anyone searching for similar build advice, any other ideas are welcome, and I do have time to try this out another way if something seems especially fitting.

Thanks, too, for the thoughts about curses and motivations that surround this weapon. Our group's game will be richer for it.

I used Power-Ups 4 (p. 10), but it is in Powers (p. 146) as well - just not the exact rules for weapons.

Costs would become:

• First Attack: Sparks (Nuisance Effect, sheds sparks, -5%) [0 points*] (+0 points)
• Second Attack: Crushing Attack 4d+5 (Doubled Knockback, +20%; Linked, +10%; Mana Sensitive, -10%) [+30 points] + Modified Crushing Damage (Doubled Knockback, +20%; Linked, +10%; Mana Sensitive, -10%) [+ points] (+0 points*)
• Third Attack: Crushing Attack 12d+15 (Doubled Knockback, +20%; Linked, +10%; Mana Sensitive, -10%) [+97 points] + Burning 4d (Link, +10%; Mana Sensitive, -10%; Surge, Arcing, +100%) [+40 points] + Modified Crushing Damage (Doubled Knockback, +20%; Linked, +10%; Mana Sensitive, -10%) [+6 points] (+0 points)

Damage would become:

• First Attack: 4d+ crushing with follow-up silver effect.
• Second Attack: 8d+10 crushing double knockback with follow-up silver effect.
• Third Attack: 16d+15 crushing double knockback linked 4d burning arcing surge with follow-up silver effect.

Well, as the author of the article - I'm really glad to hear that. :-)
