    Default Arkadius Magic Weapon

    I was just wondering. Arkadius Combat Syringe is a Magical Weapon. The weapon also states that it cannot hurt non-living models since it is a Needle. I know that I am new to the game, but what do we have out there that is living and only can be hurt by magical weapons?

    EDIT: I guess that it would be possible to hurt something with Brain Damage (since it theoretically could affect non-living targets) and Arkadius strength of 4 and thus get the Brain Damage effect, but when I started editing this post I saw that when you use the Combat Syringe you never even roll to resolve attacks with a Needle. So I guess I could hit a construct or undead model with the Syringe, hoping to use Brain Damage since it doesn't need the target to be living, but it wouldn't work since the Needle rule says that you don't resolve the attack.

    Vilmon in Impervious Wall comes to mind right off-hand. Same for Zealots under Greater Destiny.

    They don't care. Only suffer damage from spells and feats. (and aren't protected from other effects anyway)

    While Brain Damage does not need the target to be a living model, in fact you can target any model you want with his Combat Syringe, it is that the Needle ability says the you do not resolve the damage roll portion of the attack but instead you deal one point of damage to a living model and do no damage to non-living models aka constructs and undead. Nothing is stopping you from attacking non-living models, it is just that you cannot do any damage to them from Needle and all three abilities of the Combat Syringe require you to damage the model.

    Yeah, it's pretty rare that it would be useful.
