Artifice Blessing Questions


Advice


So, I was joking around with my brother about a Gestalt Warpriest/Gunslinger build that uses a Whip/Gun combo and has the Travel and Artifice Blessing (if this doesn't mean anything to you, go watch more movies). While looking it up I came across this little problem...

SRD wrote:
Transfer Magic (major): At 10th level, you can temporarily transfer a weapon special ability from one weapon to another. The bearers of each of the weapons must be willing, and you must be touching both weapons to activate this ability. You can transfer a weapon special ability with a base price modifier of +1 or +2. If you are using this ability on a double weapon, only one end of the double weapon is affected. The transfer lasts for 1 minute, after which the transferred weapon special ability automatically returns to the source weapon. You can use this ability multiple times on the same weapon or weapons. Alternatively, you can use transfer magic to move a +1 or +2 armor special ability from one touched suit of armor to another, or move a +1 or +2 armor or weapon enhancement bonus to another armor or weapon.

1.) What type of action is this?

2.) Would it be worth it to just carry a pouch of sling stones, each with a different Bane/Holy/Unholy property?

3.) Does this add to the new weapons total enhancement? i.e. if I have a +5 Sword or +5 junk attached, can I transfer more into it?

1) Unless otherwise noted, a blessing is a standard action.
2) heh sure why not if you can afford it.
3) You mean enhancement bonus? No, it transfers only special abilities.


Standard

Yes, if you can get them at 1/50 the cost of a batch of 50.

You only transfer special abilities, not the enhancement bonus. You would still be limited by the maximum, which is +10 equivalent on a single weapon.

Reread the very last sentence: or move a +1 or +2 armor or weapon enhancement bonus to another armor or weapon.

I do believe you both on it being a Standard, I just want to know how you know this. Like, where in the book do I find that?

Sovereign Court

At the beginning of the blessings description p. 63 of the advanced class guide.

A warpriest can select any two blessings granted by his
deity. Deities grant blessings of the same name as the
domains they grant. Unless otherwise noted, using a
blessing is a standard action.


OK, so you can transfer enhancement bonuses. It doesn't say it stacks with existing enhancement bonuses though and the general rule for enhancement bonuses is that they don't stack.

Elta covered the specific case of the action type here, and the general rule is that if it doesn't say what kind of action it is, it's a standard action.


Ah ha, I see where it says Standard now. It was in a spot on the SRD I just kept over looking. Thank you both.
