I haven't looked at the limited item and insufficient playing code in a long time (if ever) but I doubt it treats unholy weapons any differently than anything else.

If you were worried about it I suppose you could always leech over to a non-limited weapon for the hibernation, than re-get a "real" weapon upon starting to play again, bless it and leech over. I can't imagine an A-P with enough savvy to build a weapon worth worrying about losing would have much trouble managing that.

I'm sure you did, but your lifetime was also lived (sans a brief period of distention) outside of the hero range. I'm sure if I sat down and did the math on a level 40 A-P's range the average would be significantly lower than 1.2. Heroes are not inherently worth more charges, but from what I've observed it tends to work out that many of them are worth more than your average lower level character.

I paid a moderate amount of attention to Drugadath's kills and the charge status of his victims, because, and I'll give you props for it, he was the first A-P in a while to really get rolling on a weapon. I'm not saying you killed/fought only unskilled opponents (because that wouldn't be true) but you did kill a number of very bad people several times. No, not in a row multi-kill style, but still. One guy who was worth the basement minimum chance to gain a charge you killed 8 times, others in similar situation 4 or 5 times. These are people who, while I'm sure many of them have other strengths as players, couldn't win a PK it their real life depended on it. I'm sorry, but I can't consider a system that doesn't as strongly encourage the repeated slaughter of such weak and unchallenging opponents to be broken or in need of change.
