In pragmatic terms, yes - but you're suggesting that a Humakti jettisons their SWORD????

True. I'm not sure how I'd want to handle Numbers. I just wantt o be sure what narrative effect the stuff has.

Yep:

A) no effect on magic
B) makes anyone who sees it go "wow!"
C) probably some bonus to combat, too.

PCs do you?

My latest Vingan has a javelin called Wind-homer. Her Defender Storm Devotee aunt enchanted an "aid throw with wind" feat into it for her, and it also returns to her hand once thrown. Saves all the hassle of counting ammo :)

That Sword we were talking about the Humakti's got doesn't like trolls. So when it comes near them, it starts to unsheath itself and hum quietly, building up to a full +10 sonic attack on their darksense. (Two species-specific gifts. This is just how I dress them up.)

Not much else for you I'm afraid - the game I ran myself was low-level, no place for fancy magical trinkets.
