I literally only want something to mark it as other than a generic sword.
You want to make it worse than a generic sword, by an absurd degree.

@TotallyNotEvil, please consider taking a chill pill and taking a short break. This is not going to go anywhere productive.

His basic class ability allows him to do that. Duskblades be whack, man.

@Goldfish your thoughts on Cursespeweing?

OK here's an idea, get rid of Miser's Bane entirely, it has never been used in the quest anyway (mostly because I forgot about it) and then add some improvements
Sound fair?

That is a very insane reading of the ability. Channeling a spell during a Full Attack does not mean the spell hits every time. It hits once. It can hit more people then one by using Cleave or other feats that allow you to attack multiple people, but at no point is implied that the same spell acts multiple times.
Fair warning: Digging your heels in and being insulting to me will have markedly less great results then it did with DP.
How about 5/day for all three abilities?

When you are fighting for your life, crazy abilities matter more than fluffy goodness.
Doesn't mean I don't love Oathkeeper. That's why I want to make it relevant.

Pumps up the free Greater Dispels even more and I don't think any of those abilities was used more then once per fight. A total of 3 should be more then plenty.

You propose that half the sword's default abilities only function a handful of times a day.
That's how I'd expect a colossal fuckup in enchanting to end up as.
That is pretty much how rolled things since back in the day when he was using shocking grasp, it's still only one spell that can be discharged once.

I would honestly rather break Oathkeeper to get Viserys HP back and just craft Richard something new from scratch than use this.

@TotallyNotEvil I don't like Cursespewing. The DC is kinda wimpy. Here is my latest proposal, sans Miser's Bane. I can live with that.
[X] Oathkeeper Upgrade (Currently: +3 Enhancement, +1Searing Flame, w/+1 additional Enhancement bonus due to Valyrian Steel special nature)
-[X] Enhancement Bonus: Increase to +5
-[X] Special Ability: +1 Magebane (stacks with wielder's Magebane, if any), and allows the effect to apply to any magic wielding creature, whether their power is Arcane or Divine in nature.
-[X] Special Ability: +1 Bloodstone (Vampiric Touch exclusive Spell Storing effect, automatically Empowered)
-[X] Special Ability: +1 Fortuitous
-[X] Special Ability: +2 Wounding
-[X] Special Powers: 3/Day

I literally proposed something without the apparently problematic dispelling abilities in this page.

Ah, didn't realize it had a DC, doesn't say so on the text.
Hm, what would you think it if didn't have one?

The last thing I want is an argument. I just want to present acceptable options.
If we've never even used Miser's Bane, then I'm fine removing it entirely.

It would be stupid powerful with no DC, but a DC 15 Will save is just too low, IMO.
Magic Weapon Abilities - Cursespewing
I would love a compromise, but right now I'm looking at the discussion and I'm seeing a train-wreck waiting to happen. I would rather not come back in the morning to the aftermath, maybe I'm overacting because of recent troubles in the thread, but the idea of having a serious argument over something so minor when there is major narrative conflict and character growth on the horizon is just... depressing.

There's a MiC update. It triggers only on a crit.
CURSESPEWING Price: +3 bonus Property: Weapon Caster Level: 11th Aura: Moderate; (DC 20) necromancy Activation: —
A barely perceptible dark glow surrounds this weapon. Whenever this weapon scores a critical hit against a target, it bestows a curse that imposes a –4 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks for 1 minute. Multiple strikes aren't cumulative with one another
