Topic: WEAPON DAMAGE MULTIPLIERS

[mrfantastic]

I have an alchemist in my campaign and he want to make a x2 damage sword but in the manuals i dont find any cost for that ability, i checked in character law, rm 1 and alchemy companion but nothing about damage multiplier, anyone know how i can handle this ? ty in advance

If you check in Alch Comp there is a list called Multipliers that can create a double damage item.
I think guild lists are meant to be super powerful, requiring special rituals, research, materials etc.
It would raise the item level, possibly to artifact status.

RM2’s Arms Companion had Mercury Filled Weapons at 1.5x damage for 10-15x costs, just as a start.

[OLF, i.e. Olf Le Fol]

The "Treasure Companion" sets the "greater concussive damage" (damage x2) as a weapon IV effect (so your alchemist needs to be able to cast the level 20 "Weapon IV" spell), and the "superior concussive damage" (damage x3) as a weapon V effect (so your alchemist needs to be able to cast the level 60 "Weapon V" spell).
Though it doesn't mention anything about a x4 or x5 damage multiplier, one may deduce them to be respectively weapon VI (level 90 spell) and weapon VII (level 100 spell) effects.

Oh yes, someone had read some Gene Wolfe I think.

I seem to remember those weapon crafting rules were pretty much the most broken rules in RM2.  And that is saying something.  I seem to remember managing to build a weapon with well north of a +100 bonus.
