Creating a magical Weapon

[thrillba]

I have the weapon created, but when I add shocking burst to it on the character it says "If you take special abilities, your weapon must be +1 or better" I cannot find anywhere in the creator to change the level of a magic weapon.

What am I missing.

The drop-down to choose the magical bonus of the weapon is three lines above where you selected "Shocking", to the left of where you chose the weapon itself.

and this is in the hero lab editor?

There is nothing that will let me select "war hammer" so to speak. I can put it in the hammer's group, but nothing that actually states a weapon.

And I added shocking through the gizmo plugin on the right.

Was your question about the editor? It sounded like you were asking about the customization form that's used when adding a custom weapon to a character.

Bootstrapping weapon special abilities in the editor isn't currently something that can be done. You'll need to add the ability's text to the weapon's text.

There is a +2 icy burst weapon that shows up in the editor, but I can't copy that because it came from an add on.

How does that one work?

A lot of the files you can pull up in the editor cant be copied. What weapon are you trying to change/create? and how are you trying to change/create it?

I am trying to make a +2 shocking burst mithril war hammer.

It is actually the lightening sword from the wind duke icosil from the age of worms campaign, but no one can use it.

I have changed the other sword into an shield, but I can't make this hammer work properly.
