The Perfect Weapon

[User3]

I'd like to present to you the perfect weapon:

--Two-handed, so it does bigger Power Attacks.

--Adds a +2 shield bonus, so you can enchant it like a magic shield and you can get your shield bonus while two-handed fighting, and without any feats used.

--Adds a +2 to bull rushes.

--damage = 3d6/x2

-Downside: must be enchanted as a +3 weapon, or else you suffer a -4 to hit with it. Also, enchanting it as armor or weapon costs double.

What is it?

A large table....., as per the Improvised Weapon rules on page 158-159 of the Complete Warrior.

Enchant it as a Karmic Table +1 (thus granting proficiiency in "Table"), then enchant it as a shield, maybe get a cleric or wizzy to boost its weapon bonus, and you are good to go.

Awesome.

Fvck.

Does that mean that we're going to have to make some weapon design rules in Races of War?

Lame.

Well you were already going to have to do something about the improvised weapon rules.

[Oberoni]

This needs a prestige class so bad.

It already has one. Drunken Master.

Unfortunately Drunken Masters never are actually proficient in improvised weapons, they just get to use their reach/tripping/disarming characteristics and deal added unarmed damage. But that can still be pretty badass.

Which book is the Karmic weapon ability in?

Sorry, I meant the Skillful enchancement from Complete Arcane. page 144. I couldn't edit my post.

It's folkloric, using a large wooden table as your primary weapon isn't even cheesy - you're supposed to do that.

So awesome...

So, uh, can a table have +10 weapon and +10 shield enhancements? or simply +10 total?

[User3]

Frank's 2 table pictures are horrible examples of utilitarian tables. I wouldn't insult my guests by serving them drinks and hor d'eouvres on such a piece of crap thin-ass table.

C'mon! Let's see some photos of some true combat tables that you actually throw some coffee table books, a plant, some coasters, and the TV remote on top while still having room to prop your feet up on the damn thing.

Since it's a weapon AND a shield, I'd assume +10 Weapon and Shield, as with a Spiked Shield.

[Fwib]

Since it is a weapon and a shield, you can shield-spike it, and have two lots of +10 for weapon, and one for shield.

Ironically, in the first 3.0 DnD adventure I ever ran, the party wound up using a spiked door as one of their weapons (they unhinged a door and stuck some swords through it as they used it for cover in a hallway).

[Catharz]

Those pictures are amazing.

Oh, and I looked at Complete Warrior and the original is a table too big for a medium character to use. The smaller table does less damage, but I think it retains all the other good stuff.

[virgil]

Wouldn't you not get the shield bonus if you attacked with it for that round?

[CalibronXXX]

Wouldn't you have to sharpen the table to get it to do 3d6 damage?

This seems like a pretty surmountable problem

You ever get hit with a chair?

Not bump into one or trip over one. I mean honest to goodness had a chair smashed into your body with an obvious intent to hurt.

It doesn't need to be 'sharpened' in order to beat the fvck out of you.

I'd imagine that a table is like a chair, only it beats you up more.

The same way that a fullblade beats you up more than a longsword does, because it is bigger.

[josephbt]

Yup, what JE said. I got hit with a window once and it hurt like hell. Tables must be on the far side of the spectrum - massive, solid, hard objects.

[Catharz]

I ran into a plate glass door once, but I'm glad it was a door and not a greatsword...

[Brobdingnagian]

You forgot to mention it could be used to get total cover.
