Hello. Before we get started let me say first that I really do not and have never known whether or not someone can actually enchant an intelligent weapon within the rules of the game. I was however thinking about perhaps creating a set of house rules for it if their were not any in place to begin with. Now with that said I would appreciate some feed back.

Are there current rules in place, and if so what are they? Now I'm not looking anything verbatim here, just if there is give me a rough idea what they are, and how they pertain to the weapon in question (that is only if it is not blisteringly obvious). Also this can be from either Pathfinder or 3.5.

Do you think that such weapons should be able to be enchanted? I don't wanna turn this into a flame war, but some differences of opinion followed by a nice heaping portion of logic would be nice. Try to post to me and not the person that posted before you, this isn't a debate thread (start those on your own thread).

Would this be a beneficial addition to the already existing rules of the game? Again this is an opinion question so I expect that people will disagree, but have the decency to keep it clean.

I think that covers everything for now but as this goes along I may have more questions, so bear with me if you will.

Alright my DM was running the first segment of the Crimson Throne, and our party was finally returning the brooch to the queen when all of the sudden things went awry. See one of our players was playing a shugenja and one of their abilities is called "Sense Elements". Basically it allows him to sense for an element and then determine whether there is any of that particular substance within 10 feet all around him, then use a spellcraft check to determine certain things about the item itself such as whether it is natural whether it has anything in it, whether it is affected by magic, and even the exact nature of the item itself. With every extra round, it taking a standard round in order to sense the first ten feet, he can then expand his sense by 5 more feet in every direction. Now this compiled with the fact that the party stood talking with the queens personal body guard for several minutes basically made it to where our shugenja was able to determine that the queen was wearing an object that gave her the spell glibness and that her misdirection spell was placed on her body guard. This is basically where he turns to the rest of the party and asks for a quick conversation in which he departs all that he knows and then the party determines what to do. Well needless to say we were all ecstatic that he had found a way into the puzzle box that was the queens ruse. however when the DM started looking through the book for what the actions would be for her if confronted with the current scenario he could find nothing. Indeed it appears that a fair bit of the plot was unraveled at that junction. However he does not wish to change what happened in the least, instead he was asking some of us for ideas about how to handle this. I was curious, everything else that I have said aside. How would you deal with the current situation, plot wise mind you. Thanks for and feed back.

After seeing the dice for the Rise of the Rune Lords campaign I'm counting on paizo to pull out another awsome set for Curse of the Crimson Throne. however the description isn't quite as enticing as I would have hoped. Mayhap they look better than they sound?

Alright well I have to say that with the discovery of Pathfinder and the entire Paizo line I have been truly impressed. Especially when I heard about all the plans that they had in store for this relatively new system. I became still more impressed after I found out about some of the people that where on the Paizo team. One of the names that caught my attention is Ed Greenwood. Greenwood having my total respect for his contributions to the gaming world, and for his novels that came from those advances.

So this and the current changes with DnD going on at the moment, got me to thinking about my views on working with wizards of the coast. I had always planned to at least attempt to write for the Forgotten Realms series, but with my opinion of the changes made to the realms my plans seemed to drift in a direction opposite to my own wants.

Therefor I wish to ask the question that this whole post is leading up to. Does anyone know whether or not Paizo will be allowing people to create novels surrounding their new campaign? Will they be interested in creating an all new line of novels surrounding the new world of theirs? And if so who would I see about some information about the for mentioned new world?
