You always wouldn't get Lawbreaker if you beat someone over the head with a crystal ball. You only get Lawbreaker if using Magic in an enchanted item, not the item itself.

So how do people feel about Items of Power?
Sanctaphrax:
Narratively speaking, warden swords are not activated. They're always that sharp.
The 3 times/session thing is a mechanical approximation.
At least, that's how I remember it.
PS: What do you guys think we should do with this thread? Should it be stickied, put on the Resources board, or just left to sink and then linked to when Law fights start?

The treatment of IoPs for purposes such as this depends, imo, almost entirely on the narrative source of the particular IoP.
If the narrative of the IoP includes the use of the holder's own will in the same manner as with innate spellcasting capabilities, then using that IoP to kill in that manner may very well justify Lawbreaker (and would similarly benefit from any resultant bonuses, even if the mechanical representations of the powers granted by the IoP do not include conventional spellcasting powers).
This is the same treatment that I give to 'non-spellcasting powers' used as mechanical approximations of narrative spellcasting powers, such as 'Breath Weapon' used to represent a highly-practiced offensive spell that can be cast repeatedly without exhausting the Practitioner.

Resources Board would be my preference.
Hick Jr:
I'd recommend stickying it or putting it on the Resource board. Letting it sink is letting it be forgotten. And oh my god i'm going to avoid this thread and everything it discusses like the plague.

I think we should sticky it here. More Exposure. Also I was excited to have a friendly and spirited debate about the laws...
