Is there a weapon quality that allows a sucessful strike to dispel magic? Ryld's Splitter, Paramore's Kneuma, and a few others seem to have this ability, but I don't know if there is a specific quality for it. Such a weapon would be at least +3, probally greater, but I'm not certain.

But what have all the passing years/Done, but breed new angers, fears?/Show me now an equal worth/To innocence I earned at birth.

Well, I believe that a Holy Avenger features this quality, but of course only when in the hands of Paladins. I have not yet encounted such a weapon ability elsewhere. But I do not have many of the non-coure non-realms Crunchie sourcebooks.

The holy avenger sword permits only the area dispel function of dispel magic. There is, however, a weapon property called dispelling which appears in Magic of Faerūn, and is updated in Player's Guide to Faerūn, the latter of which converts the price to a straight gp adjustment rather than a plus-based price, and adds a greater dispelling property as well. The less powerful version may only be used once per day, and the more powerful three times per day.

I wonder why a gp adjustment. A plus seems more appropriate. Do you have the prices?

Thanks, Arivia. Quite pricy, but I suppose it's worth it if you fight casters often.

The justification for changing the price to a gp adjustment is (or rather, would be, should anyone decide to justify it) that the property duplicates a spell effect with a set number of uses and caster level, and therefore should be priced accordingly. If you can accurately set a straight gp price for any property, then a plus-based pricing isn't really appropriate.

There's a weapon property in The Quintessential Wizard that allows a weapon make a targeted dispel against certain protective spells. It's a +3 enhancement -- and oddly, it requires Forge Ring in addition to the standard Craft Magic Arms and Armor.

Hell hath no fury like all of Candlekeep rising in defense of one of its own.

I also believe that the weapon property the Bookwyrm just mentioned, has received some "extra" treatment and alteration in the more recent The Quintessential Wizard II tome.
