Strange Choices in item design # 5: "questing" tools

Thanks to the daily gold roles I've picked up about 50 scrolls of deadly weapons, which is easily 49 more than I am likely to ever need. What's strange is the dice role is describing these as "questing tools". Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but the only way to have deadly weapons cast from scroll is to put a weapon in your off hand, cast it with UMD, and then move the weapon to your main hand. ...Which you cannot do if the weapon is sentient. So exactly what is the point of having these on daily dice?
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

To UMD cast it on a weapon the weapon needs to be in your off-hand, which cant be done if you have a sentient gem. So... this is a questing tool for TWFs with UMD. Seems ultra-specific, that.


Did you really need two versions of the same question?   Huh

Scrolls of DW are used to buff your best melee/ranged party members that are not yourself.

That’s kinda what Gunga meant.

You’re welcome.

Like every group, there are schlubs and there are stars, and a lot in between. Pick your cause and I can say the same thing about the associated group.

Run with a high UMD box account toon.  Have the box toon cast Deadly Weapons on you.  It will now be on both your main hand and off hand weapons.

Coming from a guy saying he has a degree.
You seem to lack critical thinking skills.
You use them on friends or give to friends to use on you.
But it is so simple that you just do not get it.
Your degree must be a certificate of participation for using a light bright.
