Talk:Special Attachment (3.5e Flaw)

Bad Flaw

1. Be a tiefling
2. Be a martial class
3. Ignore the flaw
4. Lose darkness
5. Don't care

This flaw isn't a very good one, nor does it penalize all characters equally. --Ghostwheel 21:26, May 18, 2010 (UTC)

You can even pull this off as a sorcerer. You think a dagger is your magical weapon. No thief is (realistically) going to steal a mundane dagger off a sorcerer, and since he never uses it in combat, it'll never get sundered/broken/lost. This requires a DM to intentionally do something that makes no sense(have a thief steal a 2gp dagger rather than a 2500gp longsword, or a half-full spellbook) to have any penalty. Finally, any DM that does steal the sorcerer's dagger takes away ALL HIS POWER for a week. That's not balanced. No DM would do that to a spellcaster more than once, in which case you're getting a free feat for one bad encounter. --The Badger 21:43, May 18, 2010 (UTC)

I was originally going to have this flaw require the item be in your hand or worn on your person at all times and have loss or destruction result in a comatose state, but I thought I had enough of a reputation as a sadist as it was. Besides, I do like the idea of a magical being who refuses to accept his power is his own.--Teh Storm 05:53, May 19, 2010 (UTC)
