Black Blade of Disaster

The problem is that BBoD is a very different spell within PnP, more like a conjured Improved Mordy Sword (aka the ultimate summon) but considering we have Mordy I think the current concept is fine.

Why not allow both like Ras? That'd be quite cool.

That would be very cool indeed... Mordy is almost a purely defensive spell: THAC0 2 and 5d4 damage once a round is rather underwhelming in TOB. But make THAC0 and damage slightly better, and add disintegrate... now we're speaking! though you'd better make the summoned sword immune to haste effects

Should I just make the sword force a save on each hit (perhaps with no penalty instead of the current -5) to avoid disintegration? I made it trigger only 15% of times because it seemed an OP effect, but I guess we have to expect those kind of OP effects from a 9th lvl spell.

If so, would you still keep the 5d6 magical damage on a successful save ? Then it would be a very powerful spell indeed for F/M...

BBoD

A very effective and fun spell within SR with a dualled F9/Mx. I played with a party of six, and the combo of Improved Haste + BBoD + TS made the F/M outshine every other party member against dragons in TOB. SCS2 improved Abazigal Lair was almost a breeze Though I guess you didn't want to give additional awesomeness to the already overpowered dualled F/M ? It's true the spell doesn't seem that appealing to multiclass or singleclass Mages.

But you know, some players like to play with your wonderful mods, and also like playing with cheese
