Properties of Godshard Weapons

Godshard weapons aren't exactly made entirely by godstones, more like coated/imbued by them. To create such requires a godstone shard included in the component costs.

You could also attune such weapons to master godstones. Those who does grant their weapons additional abilities.
---- the idea here is master godstones give attuned godshard weapons additional properties/item powers, depending on what the master godstones does, giving each unique capabilites.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The idea is to make weapons out of godstone shards. As a result, they could channel divine energy through it. I can see it in slashing weapons (heave blades, light blades, spears (axes?)), but not so much in bludgeoning (hammer, mace) though they are the usual weapons allowed as divine implements.

The above example is based from Crusader's Weapon (AV 66), even copied the item daily. Though it may change.

Comments?

EDITS:
erwin EDIT: changed allowable weapon to all. made item daily tentative.

I'd say "Weapon: All"

precedents:
-Fhrayle attaching a godstone to a bow and using it as holy symbol.
-Meso/South American axes and maces made of chipped obsidian.

How about changing the item daily, most likely not all who will use this weapon will use it for the channel divinity, especially those who only paragon multiclassed to cleric or paladin.

Those who MC'd into another class usually get the short end of the stick when it comes to benefits from feats, magic items, so I see no problem with it providing a CD-based bonus.

That said, I don't want it to look like a copy of another item in AV.

How about dealing extra radiant damage plus some sort of cookie with a Daily power?

That's too complicated for a 4e magic item.

Ah, here's an idea: Instead of having it as just one item, how about you turn it into a subgroup of weapons, similar to the deity-specific holy symbols of 4e? Only this time, it will all be weapons attuned to a godstone, and if you are attuned to the godstone, you can use it's daily power.

What do you think? Offhand, Sinaghari could have a bow with a sun-shaped crystal attached to it, K'maht could have a crystal-bladed scythe, the spiral would have a kukri, Ilawith a mace...

Godshard bow (Daily): If you are attuned to Sinaghari...

Dead God's Claw
Weapon (Heavy Blade, Special)
Special: This property can only be applied to a Scythe.
Daily: If you are attuned to K'maht...
