Hmm, this suggests that actually they each played in some RQ scenario where you end up with a unique item. "Hey, how did *you* get Stormbringer? You're the fifth guy today to walk into the bar wearing the Black Sword."

In one sense, all swords are magic -- they're made of the bones of the gods, and they were made with the aid of smithing magic.

In SFC campaigns, I try to encourage named weapons (based on Viking sources, where most items seemed to have a name). Some are passed down from father to son. So boosted or not, I think people can get attached to them.
When a Humath worshipper gets a sword blessed by his god, I insist that it be named.
