I have been looking around the web and have seen that some DM's have a system where an item you have bonded with (or whatever it would be called) could get stronger along with you. Now I am not trying to implement a new system or anything like that, but could I use this idea of bonding to RP say my staff or something gaining more powers at regular intervals? It would all still be DC requests, but I wanted to know if it was something that could count for the RP of my request.

Also is there a sourcebook that already has the rules of something like this? All I could find was the Incarnum one and that wasn't exactly what I was looking for.

It should be possible to make a request like that, if you have the DCs and the RP behind it

Even better question for everyone is has anyone already done something like this so I can look at their request. I haven't been able to find anything...and yes I am using the search function

I remember someone had an idea like this, and I think I had run a similar idea by the DM's once before to, wherein I wanted to request a sentient weapon that progressively became more associated with my characters personality and would upgrade in stages.

To be honest what you can do with regards to your RP is limited only by the mechanics and your imagination.

The way I see this working best though is a Weapon with a unique power on it that applies all the abilities you want via a script as temporary properties when you use it.

Say at level 5 your bonded weapon would gain +1 enhnc and 1 divine damage, and then at stages more powers are added or exisiting powers increase. It will inevitably be cheaper in the long run than requesting weapon upgrades whenever you achieve your next level of bonding.

I don't think we've ever approved anything like this but I do remember a few people discussing it. If you write an awesome request and (if you're requesting a sentient character) provide some backstory that tells me everything about the character and item I might be open to giving it my thumbs up.
