It'd be nice if they were clear about that. I only found out after the above conversation that I used mine to log in to a surprising number of things lol. If I can't keep it, I'll need to make another one to use instead.

Awesome

Awesome. Nicely done fejoa!

If you can keep it for free, then yeah, I still use mine on the (very) rare occasion. Otherwise, do what you must. I'm not attached enough to the e-mail to leech off you. Just gimme a heads up so I can save what I can.

I see you're having a good run. That usually means an interesting death.

The shoutbox isn't some exclusive club. Shout away!

Looking good. Keep it up.

Awesomeness, thanks fejoa.

Don't worry about the problems, if you're willing to address them then yes, I don't see a reason why you can't go somewhere with this. I'm not trying to cut you down, but someone has to ask the hard questions.

I'm not sure liquids on items can be repurposed for the kind of solid material coating you're thinking of, but if you think you can pull it off, all the more power to you! Something similar has been proposed in the past incidentally, regarding armor. I don't know if it actually got added though. If it did, you might be able to extend that to weapons.

I'm not proposing just different weapons here, I'm proposing introducing a new type that allows for weapons of different lengths without the need to change to another type. Things like a claymore or gladius would fall under long swords and short swords respectively. If the silverised blade forces you to switch training halfway through, people just aren't going to use it, or focus on long swords then use it when it gets longer. Which means the early stages will get neglected, which I don't think you'd want.

Yes, but who is the requester here? Is Petrus wanting you to nab the weapon for Valpurus, does Decos send you to a temple of Mellis instead, what is the story here? At least with the shirt of the golden eagle you can put it on to take on Attnam, what can you do with the completed silverised blade? Do you pick a god to try and return it to and the other sends their forces to take it from you?

Point still stands, silver is heavy, and as it grows longer so does the weapon, leaving you with one unwieldy weapon you'll probably have to two-hand. Not to mention if it starts short and ends up long, you'll end up having to switch your weapon training halfway, which is another minus. Which is why I suggested stilettos and rapiers, there may be a difference in length but the way they're used is the same, which is not the same as short/long swords. Anyway, there's no reason we can't just make the silverised blade an artifact of the new weapon type. Besides that, do we even have a mechanic for material coating on weapons?

I see the inspiration taken from Sherry, but a long, heavy weapon just isn't going to have the accuracy to hit limbs. That ability to turn limbs to silver will become an irrelevant gimmick you'll hardly see. Whereas extending it to any body part will be far more noticeable in-play. Sure, an elder dark mage turned into a silver golem works in your favour, but that's only if you hit every body part. An elder dark mage with a silver torso for a massive health boost? Big threat.
