How do I add IFT characteristics to a weapon (ex: Lightbringer or Holy Avenger)
The short answer might be that you can't. But in case I'm wrong, I'd love to know.
Can you add an effect to a weapon like Lightbringer where it causes an extra 1d6 radiant damage to an attack against undead? I know there are a few methods like:
- Add another item called "Lightbringer (Undead)" and add an extra 1d6 radiant damage roll that the player can use instead.
- Add an effect that they can activate in their abilities using something like IFT: type(undead); DMG: 1d6 radiant. They can activate this before a roll or keep it on permanently given they only use this weapons.
Both of these seem like viable but not optimal options. The first is just clunky and the second either requires them to click it before each attack or keep it up permanently and just remember to turn it off if they use another weapon. Also, you'd have to constantly monitor the effects status in the combat tracker.
My question is, can you add this effect to an actual weapon. The FG effects guide lists something similar for the holy avenger, but I wouldn't know where to put this on a weapon.
Thanks!
