Sword + 1, Flame Tongue, +2 vs. regenerating creatures, + 3 vs. cold-using,
inflammable, or avian creatures, +4 vs. undead,
sheds light only
when its possessor speaks a command word or phrase, and this flame
illuminates
the AREA as brightly as a torch.
Note that the flame from this
sword easily ignites oil, burns webs, or sets fire to paper, parchment,
dry
wood, etc. Cold-using creatures are those whose attack mode involves
cold (ice toads, white
dragons, winter wolves, yeti,
etc.)
Q. Can a priest
use a flaming sword,
where the burning causes damage?
A. No. If playing by the strict letter of the
roolz, priests cannot use edged
weapons, no matter what the other
effects of the weapon; just because it
is flaming, the edge is not blunted. It
is also worth mentioning that the
Pelinore material has differentiated
between religions by allowing some
priests to carry swords and other
weapons out of the ordinary.
