Gary,

I missed and then somone else killed the monster I was fighting. I never was able to use the daily power when I wanted too. Thanks for the advice though. I’ll try it the next time I play.

Assuming that you have a Flaming Weapon out of the PHB, I’m a little confused. The Daily power on the weapon only activates on a hit, so why you would ever miss with the ability?

As for when to use it, I’d save it for an early hit when doing focus fire on a regular guy. That way the ongoing fire damage has the best opportunity to do its thing. Using it on a more important guy would be a mistake, since they’d have a better chance of saving out of the damage.

Cool. Homebrew, the thermostat for gamer feelings, and roleplay advice are why I read RPG Blogger Network bloggers. I look forward to seeing what alternate rules you use.

I have always used something similar to the weapons of legacy in my home games since the early 80s. I have plans for them in 4e. I referenced a sword called Bridget earlier this year. I will post more home brew stuff as time goes on.
