There's only one sword that I have that can stand up to Sparda, but to use it I must pay a price... it's time.

*Dogg sheathes Sol Blade and Excalibur and unsheathes Darksword. The curse of Darksword takes hold on Dogg as he lunges at Excess and Sparda.

 

[Watcher]

*I call out to Dogg "If you believe you have to stand up to that sword, you're doing something wrong. The strongest weapons have their price, so you're looking to the wrong end of the scale for that...
+Pulls out a grubby-white diseased looking sword befroe withdrawing it again+
That would counter any weapon of great power and make the user pay dearly in the process...


Nb: Don't you just wish I made that up... Because if you did, you're wrong...

 

[Big_Dogg85]

Basically, the curse of the Darksword means that I can't use any other weapons and on some turns I can't move... it is the strongest sword in GS however. Now I'm not really in the mood to fight so...

*Dogg summons Eclipse and flies to an island where, after speaking with an odd person...Darksword falls out of Dogg's hand and the curse is lifted. After paying the man, Dogg hops back onto Eclipse and flies around the world.

Well I don't know if that sword would or not, as it does sound a bit familiar, but a bit overpowered based on your description. And I could counter that sword with a sword that CANNOT be blocked or broken.

And I didn't make that up either...😉

Actually I left some of the things best points out. As to the sword that cannot be broken or blocked, there're as open game, being weapon-power-based. Unless the broken part is a material-based property.
In fact to the best of my knowledge there's only one 'enchanted'/possessed weapon that wouldn't cause the wielder and the weapon to suffer (not that my knowledge means much given how many 'magic' swords in fantasy there are).

And since we appear to have slowed down: +Inverts Gravity, before unleashing another storm of vengence on the flying bodies...+

*remains where he is and watches* I have figured out a way to counter that technique of yours Watcher.

I have no doubt about that.

True, I wasn't being very specific, but power-based weapons aren't as "open game" (if by that you mean that your sword would go right thru them) It depends on if the power of whatever fuels the weapon. The thing is that there are too many different weapons to say "this sword beats all weapons because it can counter any weapon, no matter how powerful it is", since that's only comparing that sword to the weapons of it's own universe.

The sword I was referring to is the Soul Reaver, which, because it's power grows with each soul it devours, has near limitless potential. And in it's wraith form, it cannot be blocked by pretty much any weapon that I know of since it is a spiritual sword.

You are mistaken in what I meant with my choice of weapon. It does not break the other weapon, but no magic/possessed weapon can beat it.

The sword I referred to it the 'shadow' sword out of Michael Morcock's 'The Dreamthief's Daughter', a weapon that steals the power of the original, draining it of its power, abilities etc. and places the wielder of the original under a enchanted sleep broken only by placing the original re-empowered weapon upon them.

See, your reaver would lose, because all that increased power would simply feed the 'shadow' weapon, making the reaver a mundane weapon, and putting you to sleep.

I should note why I keep on going on about possessed weapons as well: The sword it drains in the book is both enchanted and possessed, feeding on souls to make the wielder stronger and faster.

However a mundane weapon brought to bear against it has nothing to steal, hence my going on about 'can beat any magic weapon'. Also a material property, as opposed to an enchantment/binding, would be undrainable unless magic in nature.

Ok, first of all, I never said anything about it breaking the weapon.

Another thing is that the Soul Reaver is an etherel blade, so I'm assuming that you think that it would actually come into physical countact with it. Or is your sword supposed to be so powerful that it doesn't even have to come into contact with the other weapon in order to absorb it's power? And also, what if the person can't be put to sleep? There are abilities that can prevent me from being put to sleep. Or is your sword supposed to cast a spell so powerful that it simply ignores that?

And for the record, this 'shadow' sword isn't unbeatable either, and there ARE special weapons that don't rely on magic for power, so I wouldn't try to make it sound like an "I win" card.

To the bes tof my knowledge it has to meet the other weapon. Physical contact, does not really mean what you think. No, the 'shadow' weapon can't just point and drain, but if it passes though the other, it will come into effect.

Also to the sleep, difficult one. Creatures that can't sleep won't, though waking-up abilities don't usually get called upon, mostly because that implies a level of foresight you don't get in fantasy.

I never said it was unbeatable, merely impossible by a non-mundane weapon whose power was centred on the weapon. A weapon channeling power from outside now, that would crush the 'shadow' blade every time, unless the 'shadow' blade wielder was the better swordsman, of course (not likely since the channeling weapon would likely slice though).

Hencefore the weapon I know would beat the 'shadow' blade: The sword of Riva Irongrip from the 'Belgariad', where the sword is not magical, but used as a channel for the sentient gemstone in its hilt. Therefore a weapon the 'shadow' blade can't drain.

I see. Well, that is interesting. I might have to look this bood up sometime.

And for the sleep thing, I'm thinking off the top of my head of the "Insomnia" ability from FFIX (since I have been playing that alot lately) which prevents a person from ever being put to sleep.

And I actually know of a pair of physical swords that supposedly cannot be blocked by anything but each other (and the two other swords of the same make, but they had been destroyed by their creator). And while they are magical, it's the nature of the magic of one of them that could possibly beat a person wielding the sword you speak of.

I've never played any FF, outside of FFTA, and bits of FF 1&2 for the GBA (any idea if thats the original FF1&2, or the american? I can never remember)
So I've never come across any 'prevent sleep', only wake-up effects.

The power of the 'shadow' sword is to make itself into the sword that it fights. (I know I didn't make this clear) It does not end up as a combination of 'this sword, that sword' etc. It becomes the weapon that faced it, until such a time as the power is released.
By the book, its a case of as the two weapons met, the original lose all its power, while the 'shadow' became the original, but when you say 'can only be blocked by one another, do you mean they pass though others, or move around?

If the latter, by the nature of the swords, the 'shadow' has no effect, if the former, it's grounds for a duel with each fighter wielding one of the pair, though one of them will be holding a regular sword now..


So in your example it would end as a duel between the two fighters, one each armed with one of the pair.

1) yeah, I don't remember if that ability is in any other FFs, but there are items that prevent status effects (ex. Ribbon).

2) When I say "'can only be blocked by one another" I mean that they pierce through any other sword, although I wouldn't say they could do the same to ANY sword ever.

The Swords I am referring to are the Grayswinder and the Dayswinder from The Amber Saga by Roger Zelazny. It's been a REALLY long time since I've read it, but they are the two swords of Chaos, with the former two being destroyed. The Grayswinder gives its wielder the ability to bend time and space, and the Dayswinder the ability to pierce any armor and incinerate anyone stabbed with it.

NOW ECLIPSE!!!!!!!!!

*Eclipse fires it's beam toward the Earth, causing a massive lake-sized crater.

Now for some water...

Huh.

Nice touch Excess, now it's my turn.

*Dogg uses his Dragon Flame psynergy on Excess then unsheathes Pirate's Sword.

I remember the Dragon Flame, but that's the weak version of what I have. Now, have at thee! *dashes foward while dogg is off guard and hits him with the Bushido Shooting Star, knocking him into orbit*

*Dogg is hurtling into space and is intercepted by Eclipse who fires a beam directly at Excess. Dogg sheathes Pirate Sword and unsheathes Sol Blade. Dogg jumps off of Eclipse and, using Flash, re-enters Earth's atmosphere.

I'm comin for ya Excess
