    Yeah, you’d definitely want to keep a sword like that happy, since it might decide to disintegrate you. Plenty of other options for its goal (who it wants to stab) that might be more interesting narratively.

    I was just describing one the most OP swords possible in the original DMG — and when just about everyone is a “non-human monster” that’s the power option.
