silencing sword?
« on: August 12, 2014, 09:03:51 AM »
I'm looking for a magical melee weapon that would silence it's target (3 times a day for example)

Are there any like this?

There's the silent strike weapon ability (Dragon 330, p67), but it allows a DC 15 will save. 

If you want something actually useful, you could cast suspended silence (Spell Compendium, p216) on a fleshgrinding weapon (Book of Vile Darkness, p111).

or custom-make a sword that just emits silence from itself (the user will be silenced too but a rogue won't mind)

The cost would be?

If you're going to do that, why not just use a spellstoring weapon/wand/potion/oil/etc and cast it on yourself? I'm surprised Silence can't be made Permanent via Permanency...

Namarra (MoF, 30315gp). +2 keen longsword, casts silence on itself at will. Substract 18000gp for the +2 keen, 315gp for a masterwork longsword and the silence effect ends up costing 12000gp.
