Sword of Intercession

Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Magic Items - Dragon Dragon #91
- - - - -

This magical weapon is a holy (or unholy) sword that always has
an alignment and a patron deity. A character of any different alignment
may wield a sword of intercession, but it will function as a
normal, nonmagical weapon. A character of the same alignment as
the sword may wield it as a +2 weapon. A character who worships
the sword?s patron deity may wield it as a +4 sword, and in addition
gains a 5% magic resistance and a +2 bonus on all saving throws so
long as the sword is held or carried. Such a character will also be
able to commune with his deity once per week, asking one yes-or-no
question at that time. The sword will not work for those who have
only converted to their new alignment or religion within the last
year.
