« on: July 20, 2011, 02:01:32 AM »
Should an enchanted Sword be able to kill a loup garou?

Probably not unless it was inherited and made of silver.

Warden swords are a bit special in this particular case as...

  It's hard to say with any certainty as it could go either way.  Mechanically it would probably be able to harm the loup garou and possibly disable it enough to be "effectively" dead until a little time goes by and the regeneration(recovery) kicks in.  The ability to

Cutting through the enchantment would end the curse - not meet the catch requirements.  And I don't really see a warden sword as being capable of breaking a multigenerational curse capable of complete transformation.  :)  

That said, if it happened to be your mom's sword passed on to you...it may well meet the catch requirements. 

On a side note,

Your just cutting through a small part of it though, the recovery could kick in and repair the damage to the curse.  I highly doubt it would be able to kill one, hurt though... maybe

Huh, interesting I don't remember Warden Swords being specifically called out as being made of

. Can you point me to where that is?

Though even if they are the Inherited bit is really the important part for getting past a Loup-Garou's Physical Immunity. The sword's ability to break enchantments isn't anywhere near strong enough to get past a curse as powerful as the one that creates a Loup.

IF they are silver then it might work. One can inherit something from someone while they still live, and technically you are "inheriting" it from it's creator... Just a thought.

As an aside though,  I wonder how a Knight of the Cross would fare against the monster?

Interesting aside: assuming they are common, expect all Wardens to have a stockpile of silver and a Will naming other Wardens as their inheritors.

By the rules of the All Creatures Are Equal Before God it should satisfy the catch of the Loup Garou's Phyiscal Immunity, after all the Swords are meant to bypass everything.

That's exactly as I see it, too.

By the way, I like the idea of an inherited Warden's Sword. Such Swords aren't made as a mass product, that's for sure. And some wardens will have gotten theirs from another warden, probably their father / mother...

Yeah, that is my guess too... but that sounds too easy somehow...

Anyway, welcome to the forum.  I hope you like it here.  I feel oddly honored that your first post was a response to mine  :)


Make sure to keep all appendages inside the vehicle at all time.  No shirt, No shoes, No problem.  Go ahead and pass go, but make sure not to collect $200.  And last but not least, make sure you call Paynesgrey "My Gatekeeper", and Shecky only replies to Sexxxy Shexxy. And Shecky loves you to pm him pictures of spiders.  Seriously.
