Snow Maiden's Reaver Damage Mod (adds Str)

Hello community.

I've been playing IWD and IWD:EE for years and the RNG overlords have only now graced me with one of the coolest weapons ever, the Snow Maiden's Reaver. However soon after, I discovered to my horror that the sword does not apply Strength or Proficiency bonuses. I ran across an old discussion where someone suggested changing part of the weapon's damage to slashing.

I did that, so now you can have a SMR that actually does decent damage. The damage has been set to 1 slashing and 1d8+2 cold damage. This puts the total damage to 4-11 base damage which is pretty close to the original 4-10 base damage. I probably could've done 1d4 slashing and 1d4+2 cold and it would've been spot on, but I wanted most of the damage to still be cold to match the flavor of the weapon. I hope you enjoy it - just drop it into your Override.

    Pun definitely intended here.

    The title should probably be "Snow Maiden's damage mod". Extra mod ideas are always good.

    I think the original intent of the weapon was indeed the pure cold damage with no extra bonuses.

    Change approved. I feel like it kind of sucks without Str adjustments, and so my bias is that it was broken. I agree that it should say "mod" however and not "fix."
