Posted Jun 14, 2025Since the HA is made to kill devils and demons does this negate the resistance that a demon/devil would have to normal magic weapons?

Posted Jul 3, 2025At our table GM chose to "bless" a sword. Our Cleric began their travels after their vilage got wiped. The urge for retribution gained them a level of paladin and set them up for the oath of vengence. Their God alowed it, seeing how much sorow it caused the Cleric to lose so many people they knew. And the God in question had its own gripes about the folowers lost. Much later, Party took a detour to asault the fort where we had intel the vampire count responsible for the slaughter was. A session long batle later, Cleric has a vison of their God manifesting, GM had a long speech ready, at the end of which, GM described how God touched the blade Cleric was holding and a pristine aura erupting from the blade, soothing everyone nearby, as the formerly crass metal now sparkled with intricate carvings and pristine glisten. Anouncing that Cleric/Paladin's sword has become a Holy Avenger
