This is the app I get comparing it to a standard Rufhelous 21 stone broadsword.

You are certain that the broadsword is a little stronger than the Aldauth scythe-blade.
You are certain that the broadsword is a little more balanced than the Aldauth scythe-blade.
You are certain that the broadsword is a little less suited to gaining extra attack power from your strength than the Aldauth scythe-blade.
You are certain that the broadsword does about as much puncture damage as the Aldauth scythe-blade.
You are certain that the broadsword does about as much slice damage as the Aldauth scythe-blade.
You are certain that the broadsword does about as much impact damage as the Aldauth scythe-blade.
You guess that the broadsword weighs less than the Aldauth scythe-blade.

(I don't have enough app yet to get it clean)

Now, this is what Indigoe says the stats should be ...

Alduath Scythe-blade 31 ME Low Moderate Low Fairly Fairly FS

Something does not look right to me. The scythe-blade hits just like my broadsword did at those ranks, (HE 129, ME 117) not like Indigoe's stats. I.e. it's hitting like I'm appraising it.

Anyways. Was there another version of this blade made, like the Iltesh? Also, I've heard it has some unusual characteristcs, so if anyone wouldn't mind passing them along, I'd really appreciate it. I'm really enjoying using it ... lots more fun than my sabre and goes through hatchings the same way my broadsword does. (Actually it's the best ME I've ever gotten to play with, at least insofar as weight/damage goes, so it's not for sale.)

I have two of these and both have lost their blesses...is there a trick to them?

Thanks

>Maybe the trick is that they were never permanently blessed and you'll need to have someone cast the bless spell on them again.

Yeah, I've never heard of perma-bless and I used to own a few of those Alduath scythe-blades before creatures decided to destroy them.

There were some perma-blessed weapons from a long, long time ago. Pre-web, I think. I doubt any still exist.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess it might be related to the imbue/crossbow bolt change. This should probably be in a bug folder, but I'd also try assisting.

>>sounds like it could be...I bugged it and will assist as well...thanks for the idea

Are they thrown? If so I'd definately lean towards them having the perma bless stripped with the change.

I've owned a lot of scythe-blades over the years and I've never had one that was perma-blessed.

My money is on bug that this change fixed somehow.
