I think an alternative use for the anvil (or maybe even an enchantment table) could be to remove enchantments at the cost of experience levels.
I. Hate. Knockback.
I understand Knockback has good intentions, but I find it obnoxious. Knockback, in my opinion, is for cowards... hit the mob once, knock it away and I think that is suppose to give you a chance to run away.
Other than that, the only good use it on creepers...
But when I innitiate battle with a mob, I don't want to knock it away. I want to be toe-to-toe with it and murder it's fricken face off!!
Also, Bane of Arthropods... who kils spiders exclusively? I don't think anyone fights spiders enough to need a sword that is ONLY for spiders.
Endermen are sort of bug-ish... maybe make Bane of Arthropods damage them extra as well?
I dunno... just spewing ideas.
Feedback?

I'd like to be able to remove enchantments, but endermen shouldn't be affected by bane of arthropods. Endermen don't really have exoskeletons (or obvious ones at least) nor do they have jointed appendages or segmented bodies.
Really? I always thought of them as some sort of alien/insect hybrid type thing... it's black skin always seemed to be a hard exoskeleton of sorts.
... don't get all technical!
Technicality makes me cry.

I think this is a decent item idea. Not priority but not unimportant. Lol mcMMO skills mod(or plugin?) on SMP allows me to use an axe as a weapon but they always have a knock back effect.
I think bane of arthropods would be good more like spider XP farms or in mineshafts. There was a mineshaft under the ocean on my server that had three cave spider spawners near each other. Two of which were in close proximity.

I always thought of them having leathery skin. I do agree that they are aliens, though.
I guess this is all really opinion and speculation.

On-topic: Removing enchantments seem to be a good idea. But somehow I think you should at least get a bit of the levels, for example: The enchantment costs 30, removing it will cost 5-15 levels? then you get back 3-5 levels.
Walking to the club like what up I got a big block.

Sounds good! I personally think Knockback is for knocking people off cliffs in PvP to deal extra damage, or flinging stuff into lava.

You're right, for PVP it's excellent for the PVP aspect. But I was thinking along the lines of survival.
I've been on a vanilla kick lately, I've dominated factions, towny, jails, drug servers.. and lately I've been loving the game in it's purest form
