Well met all! Quick question. Running the "Pool of Radiance: Attack on Myth Drannor" & the players found the +2 defender rapier. Does anyone have ANY info on this weapon? Is it a alignment weapon? Player is buggin' me about its stats. HELP! |

I'm an "old school" player, but I like the idea of the A.C. bonus. Thanks for the info.quote:

Here is the 3.5 info on defending weapons. Basically, like mentioned above, as a free action the wielder can transfer the +2 from attack and damage rolls to AC.

Thanks. I'll looks at the DMG & also the MAGICA Tomes. quote:

I see no indication that a defender blade blade has any alignment restriction. It clearly is possible a single blade might have an additional restriction, however the defender ability is not an alignment restriction.

Sword,+4 Defender: This gives its wielder the option of using all, some, or none of the +4 bonus in defense (improving his Armor Class) against any opponent using a hand-held weapon, such as a dagger, mace, spear (not hurled), sword, etc. For example, the wielder can, on the first round of battle, opt to use the sword as +2 and save the other two bonus factors to be added to his Armor Class. This can be done each round.
Note that there is also a sword, +5 defender. This is identical to the +4 sword with one extra bonus point.
comes from the 2nd DMG which I used as reference for my reply.
