The sword will attack any being who can be judged (including celestials, but possibly skipping over Remnants and corpses animated with the Zombi attunement). Armor (and dodging) will affect the damage done. The attack will affect both corporeal and celestial forms and do the appropriate damage in either form.
If the being switches forms, the sword will continue to attack for the appropriate damage type. Escape to another plane of existance will negate the attack (there's a certain amount of GM-moderated lag time here. .
. So just popping up to the ethereal and back again the next round won't work). The sword will pass harmlessly through any barrier to attack the judged being; this does not include armor.
. . There has to be room for the sword to materialize and swing!
Still, the sword might start hacking through inanimate defenses to get at the miscreant. More.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
