Talk:Profane Weapon

Auto-confirming, nice.

I do feel obligated to point out that Align Weapon is level 2 as well. It has more flexibility than Profane Weapon, though, so it might be safe to call it balanced. -Slitherrr

Wouldn't this be more appropriate if it revolved around the Chaotic alignment? Evil doesn't seem to be far outside Alexandria's wheelhouse. --Msallen

Also, I'm pretty confused by this:

In addition, critical hits threatened against good foes automatically confirm. This effect does not apply to any weapon that has a magical effect related to critical hits, such as keen and vorpal, but does apply to critical increasing feats, such as improved critical.

How does this behave if you have a magical enhancement? If you have one, no matter how small, do you have to roll to confirm. Does this, in some circumstances, make you *less* likely to get a critical hit? No matter what, if you are focused on critical hits, this looks like its pretty complicated to factor in. --Msallen

Well, you could make it so that you only have to confirm for things like keen/vorpal--if it doesn't confirm, it still does crit damage, just not the keen/vorpal special effect. -Slitherrr

Vorpal, anyways. This should still auto-confirm on keen, just because keen only doubles threat range--whether or not the threat range is doubled, profane should make you confirm. -Slitherrr

So, if I have some magical effect that adds 1d6 to damage for a crit, then a feat that adds +2 to damage from a crit, I'm supposing what abs is looking for is for the +2 to apply all the time, but the 1d6 only to apply if the threat confirms. -Slitherrr
