Godshard Weapon Lvl 8+
Made with godstones themselves, it allows the wielder to channel divine energy to their weapons.
Lvl 8 +2 3,400 gp
Lvl 13 +3 17,000 gp
Lvl 18 +4 85,000 gp
Lvl 23 +5 425,000 gp
Lvl 28 +6 2,125,000 gp
Weapon: All
Enhancement: Attack rolls and damage rolls
Critical: +1d6 per plus
Property: You can use this weapon as a holy symbol. It adds its enhancement bonus to attack rolls and damage rolls when used in this manner.
Power (Daily): -tentative-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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?

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.

Yeah, I've thought of that as well.
I was thinking of something that the item daily power copies one of the channel divinity of clerics/paladins. Sort of giving them a taste of channel divinity, but doesn't qualify them as having the class feature. |

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? |

Not exactly radiant, I was thinking the item will get additional properties depending what master godstone it is attuned too. Radiant would probably be Nagthari, or probably fire. Or both.
The item daily i'm thinking is simply copies Channel Divinity of cleric/paladin. Not sure if it's going to be specific, maybe they're free to choose ![Very Happy](images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif) |

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... |

It's starting to sound like a deity's favored weapon :/
Though I like the idea, but not to specific weapons, probably to weapon types.
Nagthari - bows
K'maht - heavy blades?
Spiral - spears
Ilawith - maces?
Raven - light blades
It's possible that 2 godstones or more enhance the same weapon type, or possibly a godstone enhancing more than one weapon type. |
