You can't attack with it at that point.

The War-Table is meant to give you a sheild bonus and beat the everloving crap out of people.

Probably not, but w/e.

Ahh, but sometimes you just need the total cover to hide.

Fixed.

Also, would make for some interesting RPing. "Tell me young lad; could you direct me to Sir Black and Decker - I need something enchanted ..."

josephbt at [unixtime wrote:1173710975[/unixtime]]Yup, what JE said. I got hit with a window once and it hurt like hell. Tables must be on the far side of the spectrum - massive, solid, hard objects.


On the other hand, if you do sharpen it, odds are your DM will let you kill vampires with it, in whatever way he may have decided that you can do that.

Yes, but only the table legs.

But you've got 4 of those! Multi-weapon fighting ftw!

(hey, if you fight with those stupid two bladed axes, you can totally fight with 4 sharpened table legs - they're even pointed so you could actually hit stuff with them!)

And if the Dm won't let you hit kill vampires with a table, just let him watch "From dusk till dawn". Tables, chairs, even a chandolier.

I'm pretty sure that once you have a DM that let's you use a War-table, stabbing vampires with the legs is not too much of a strech.

It gives new meaning to "Knights of the Round Table." And using a round table avoids the problems of having to carry your weapon, you simply roll it along the ground with you.

So, what if you make the table from Darkwood? It would become lighter, so could you wield it one handed?

Also, that table would need the Metaline enchantment from Underdark. +6 Skillfull Adamantium Wartable of Surestriking. Beat up anything with it, even epic stuff.

You don't want to wield it one-handed, most of the time, but I suppose it's handy to have the option. Note that it already gives you a Shield bonus, and you don't need to wield it one-handed to use two-weapon fighting if for some reason you want to (armor spikes ftw!), so ... I don't actually know why you'd bother. Reduce your encumberance, maybe.

Yes, yes it would.

The next step of course would be to have the table legs shoot at the vampires or have the legs regrow once you`ve staked a vampire.

Yeah, Eberron has live wood and bronze wood. As well as dark wood like all D&D campaigns.

Well, duh.

That's why you cast Iron Wood. It lasts a day per caster level. ;)

So long as no one Shatter's it though. ...D:<

First of all, not Metaline. Shadowstriking. Bypass any DR.

Secondly, there can easily be metal tables...

...I kind of got a visual of a barbarian carrying one of those fold up tables that turn into a brief case, finding himself surrounded by hordes of orcs...

he sets up the table, pours himself some tea, takes a sip... then eats the cup and uses the table to give the orcs several new squishy parts.
