Is it imbalanced to come into a campaign where your character died using the advice '25%, 25%, 25%, 15%, 10%' rule but take some item creation feats to create Wondrous Items to save money?
If I an reading the rules right, activating a magic sword with the flaming ability takes a standard action.
Flaming Ability:
Flaming: Upon command, a flaming weapon is sheathed in fire that deals an extra 1d6 points of fire damage on a successful hit. The fire does not harm the wielder. The effect remains until another command is given.
