The other stuff sounds pretty good.  I'm trying to think of what would be some special "orangish" abilities that a druid legendary weapon could have.  What besides normal stats should it have?

Another form would be something pretty legendary, but I can't think of anything that isn't horribly game breaking or that isn't just a silly little eye candy trick. And keep in mind I think current itemization and power creep is already game breaking. But that is something that pretty much every RPG sees (not just computer but pencil and paper too).

It's all part of the god complex. A GM (P & P referenced GM/DM again) sees this great mechanism to create something, by the game rules even, and they add something cool and more powerful because they have to power to do it, but suddenly this super arch nemesis has been reduced to a pretty casual encounter because the power level went up so much. You can even look at the Dungeons and Dragons and look at what was uber powerful in the first printing of that game and look at what it has now and that has been a relatively stable and slow moving platform, but the power creep hit it too. It's actually one of the things that back when I did a lot of P & P gaming that attracted me to first addition Palladium Fantasy. The power creep was much more under control. Then Rifts got so popular and PFRPG was ruined a fair bit by slapping some of that ruleset on it (though really Heroe's unlimited has a strong hand to play because they translated things that were supposed to be for super heroes only and suddenly rules allowed regular poeple to have them in another game world entirely because they were cool, and yes I did like some of it, but I started to modify the rules so heavily to tone some of it down that it got silly).

Boy that was tangential. :)


Bah now I can't remember what I was going to say for other possibles for cat, bear, healer, caster, etc.

It's all just zeroes and ones and duct tape in the end.
