Weapon Customization

The Trading Post can now customize your weapons! Any melee weapon can be customized, including those magic worked by the Trading Post or won in a tournament. When customizing a melee weapon, the weapon can be either named or modified. Individual missiles such as darts or throwing axes cannot be customized, but missile propellants (bows, crossbows, and slings) may be named. Only slings may be modified, however.

In naming a weapon, the character chooses a name for the weapon and submits it to the Trading Post. Weapon names must be appropriate. The Trading Post reserves the right to refuse any alteration that is questionable or deemed "foul." A named weapon will look something like this:

"Excalibur" Two Handed Sword (d12)

Modifying a weapon is a more complicated process, and thus less options are available. The weapon type is changed to match another, whether a classical "real" weapon such as a Military Fork or Bola, or a fictional one such as a Holy Avenger or a Mace of Disruption. Notice that the weapon's effects will not be altered in any way by these modifications: a Holy Avenger, if it used to be a regular Two Handed Sword, will still only do d12 damage. Again, the Trading Post will usually not permit weapons that it isn't familiar with. This *may* include unusual weapons from other games, or weapons that aren't realistic, so be aware of the restriction. Requests for firearms and weapons that are out of genre will not be processed. A weapon that has been modified will look like this:

Holy Avenger (d12)
Broad Axe (d10)
Flying Fists (d7/d7)

ONCE A WEAPON HAS BEEN NAMED OR MODIFIED IT CAN NEVER BE RE-CUSTOMIZED! Weapons can be transferred to other players or sold back to the Trading Post, for half the weapon price plus half the price of customization, but they can never be changed or enchanted further. Martial Artists may modify their d7/d7 weapon, however, they may never have more than one as (s)he cannot sell his/her hands and feet.
