A few weeks ago it was my good fortune to come across Crystalion's The Great Race discussion, one of the most stimulating and informative threads I've ever read about the game. (I immediately twinked a new assassin with the Hsarus set, Hellforge Hammer, etc. and started a series of level 8 Imbues-- some of which were actually useful. :) But I digress...)
Buried deep in the higher-numbered pages of the thread are a couple of cryptic references to "chipadin" and "Hot Chippie Paladin." From the context, it was clear to me that the references were to a chipped gem finder, built around a particular sword. I inferred that the weapon is Kinemil's Awl (+6 Holy Fire), but I'm not smart enough to figure out what makes a Pal thus equipped a superior chippie finder. (I've played Paladins very little, and have never used Holy Fire.) I searched the Web via Google as well as manually here, at AB, and at diabloii.net, but came up dry.
The question was academic until a little while ago, when Kinemil's Awl dropped for my MFassin in the NM Tamoe Highlands. I would be deeply grateful to anyone who explains how I can best use it to feed my cubing habit. :)
