I'm saying it's only working with mundane items right now, but I think it would be nice if the Sussur qualities could be added to any version of the weapons in question, including ones that are already magical.

Worgfang is a magical dagger, for instance, but it doesn't have a +1 enchantment. I think it would be nice if you could further enchant it with the Sussur qualities of both +1 and Silence. Same with the Ritual Dagger, where it would keep the Ritual Dagger abilities and add the Sussur qualities. Or if you threw in a dagger that was already +1 that it would just add the Silence ability (because it's already +1 and that quality shouldn't stack).

I'm mostly okay with it just being for a few different types of weapons, but I'd be thrilled if they opened it up to every type.


At some point, you just have to accept that you're not playing in a low magic setting. There's a lot of magic floating around, and while a +1 is nice at 4th level, a named sword with an introduction like we get from Phalar Aluve should be more, much more, in fact. It shouldn't even be comparable to what Dammon is offering for sale in the grove. That's what makes it *special*, as in more than a common vendor item.


I've never used them. I read what the effects were and immediately dismissed them as not useful.


I don't think I agree with you here. That damage could hit any nearby target, including your companions.

And taking constant extra damage in battle yourself... just seems like a really bad idea. That stuff adds up and drains resources.


Yes, you're right, the wielder not the target, my mistake.

But the point remains, in my opinion.


I don't think you're necessarily wrong. I just see an item like this and really want the ability to upgrade it.


Oh, c'mon. Wyll couldn't land a hit against anyone with a blade, what with his 13 Dex and 8 Str.

And a rapier like that from a big awesome villain like Nere should be great for more characters than a theoretical 11th level warlock. Give it a bonus to hit. Let it do a Shield of Screams once a long rest. Live a little.


Exactly how many hours do you think we should play before we get a +1 shield? I don't feel like this is a big ask. Are you saying we should be mid-game before getting a +1 shield?


A headgear slot item that gives a +1 to a skill isn't a good item. Especially when it's a Shar item. Plenty of players want to be able to build and outfit a bada** dark paladin. Shar and the Dark Justiciars have been built up by this point. The look has to equal the hype, and so does the sense of danger and evil. A lot of that can come across in how these items are portrayed, both in aesthetic and mechanic.

This is a story opportunity for Larian, and I feel like the ball is being dropped.


I would be very surprised.
