It is a melee class that dedicates life to one weapon, and gets bonuses with that weapon only (you dump xp into the weapon to get it enchanted). "weapon" means "ONE specific weapon", not a group of them, so it'll be "grandfather's longsword", not "any longsword", for example. So you start with mundane blade, then it improves up to +5 and beyond aas you progress (beyond +5 it is improved by adding non-EB bonuses). I don't rememebr details, though.

Thanks for te info Neg.

Now that I think abbout this... Warriors dedicated to a single weapon. Pure energy weapon with supernatural powers. Midiclorains-pacted ~~jedi~~ warlocks, now all makes sense

Myrualae - Chantress of Doron Amar
Snow - Sorcery and carrots!
Gomez de Aguirre - The Fabulous Knight of the Mystic Fire
Uelaereene Sai'zzel - Once I saw the stars...
Lilly Sai'zzel - Stormy snowflake
And more...

Data format:

Average_Damage(Average_Minimum_Damag...Average_Maximum_Damage). The data is per round.

Keep in mind that eldrtich blast forms a bell curve, meaning that reaching maximum damage is close to winning a jackpot (roll 6 on d6 20 times in a row). So the damage will be around average most of the time.

The data accounts for critical hits.

The script used to generate the tables can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/913lbhqmksy2w ... ve.py?dl=0

So, no interest in eldritch glaive?

If you are asking me, I haven't had the time to examine the concept.

I can see the appeal of a glowing glaive. But i'd wonder if folks might not like the same with whatever weapon they care to equip, perhaps a glaive as an option.

I think we need feedback on the numbers and whether the idea has merit.
