Namely, the Illithid psychic sword that is described in the AD&D The Illithiad. I am running a Forgotten Realms adventure for some friends who still have their 2nd Edition pcs (we are converting them to PF) and they have a collection of gear that I am trying to convert (for whatever reason, their DMs were big on magical loot and they got quite a few items that are essentially minor artifacts in 3.5/PF).
Anyways, one of the items I am having a bit of difficulty converting is the Illithid psychic sword and I was hoping that a 3rd party publisher might have already done something similar to the item in question.
In 2nd Edition, the sword's enhancement bonus to attack and damage was dependent on the user's intelligence (which is easily replaced with the psychic enhancement for weapons), granted specific powers based on your intelligence, and had a 50% chance per hit of treating said attack as if the target did not have any magical defenses.
So, yeah, a weird weapon to convert so I am hoping that a 3rd party publisher has done something similar already.
Thank you for any suggestions to a 3rd party publisher/material that may have covered this.
Cheers!
