I run a small D&D 3.5 group in FR. 2 sessions ago we were joined by a newbie to D&D and we're still in the process of teaching him things.
This saturday they faces off against one of the bigger villains in the campaign, a possessed former ranger. I kept on dropping hints throughout the fight that something was a bit "off".
After some collateral casualties they downed the considerably stronger opponent he drops his two swords to the ground, while the wizard is identifying an amulet he had on him the barbarian reaches down to pick up the swords (that were confirmed magical). "Roll a will saving throw" *guy rolls a 2* "You leap towards the nearest patron, roll for attack" *guy rolls 20 20 19* "You neatly decapitate the poor patron" After many rounds of trying to subdue the barbarian, and a further collateral casualty they manage to wrest the blades off of his hands.
Guess he never heard of "No touchy magical weapons before they get identified"
You might have guessed it... Sentient, very much evil, quite high ego score...
I will cherish the stares of pure horror on the more experienced players on the moment of "I pick up the swords"
