So, I want some people's opinions on the sentient-weapons thing. It's just something I've been thinking about, since I haven't had a chance to use mine much during the missions I've been on. I'm planning to switch to something more practical for my needs, but...

Are they actually as useful as they seem, in your opinion? I mean, where I'm from, intelligent items are kind of a pain in the ass, to say the least. Always demanding things, and if they're strong enough, they can make you do stuff if they don't like you.

I don't see as much of that here, but... It makes a girl cautious, you know?

(OOC: At some point, this post is going to inspire Pidonus to switch her sentient weapon from a whip over to her voice - making her bardic magics, bardic music, and suggestion spell more effective. If someone with a voice ability wants to suggest the idea to her, that'd be great!)

It scares a lot of people, but it is unfounded from what I have seen. The weapons only gain enough to know how to help and how to anticipate what you need, not become their own self unless you are one of those individuals who invested the abilities in another living creature. Ander's cat for one.

The most common fear of sensible D&D characters: Housecats.

Do not piss off Ander. Ever.

most of my D&D characters loved cats/had cat familiars

[onemoredeath]

I have no need to.

This only makes Pidonus scream and me laugh

[have_hat_will_travel]

I meant myself.

Housecats are dangerous.

considering that i mostly played chaotics or neutral evils, the cats fit

[onemoredeath]

I suppose they could be though Ser Pounce-a-Lot seems to be a rather friendly cat.

[have_hat_will_travel]

Oh god someone knows the full racial features of cats they're from my world whywhywhy

[onemoredeath]

Not too found of cats, are you?

[have_hat_will_travel]

Pissed-off housecats are a top killer of low-level adventurers where I'm from.

[onemoredeath]

I do not think he is a house cat. His shoulder is at my thigh.

[have_hat_will_travel]

Oh, then he's probably statted out like a lion or tiger.

They're less terrifying. Weirdly.

[onemoredeath]

[ He doesn't know that term too well, so he's going to shrug. ]

I guess so.

[have_hat_will_travel]

... My reality's different, all right?

Why does everyone look at me like I'm crazy when I go into this?

[onemoredeath]

It sounds as if it is.
