New Weapons and Armor

Re: User Created Weapons and Armour Thread

I'm not quite understanding the purpose of the sentience abilities. How are they any better (or more beneficial) than an intelligent magic item? Also, the XP ratios seem overly complex... instead of putting it as a 1:1 ratio, why not just say the item gets 50% of the owner's experience?

Re: User Created Weapons and Armour Thread

Here's a modification of something I and a Storyteller created for an online Exalted game that died a sorrowful death.

"The Tears of the Five Maidens" (artifact 5, attune 12m)
Starmetal Long Sword "Tears of Destiny"
speed:5 accuracy:+5 damage:+8L defense:+3 rate:4 minimums: (str:2,dex:4)

Starmetal Short Sword "Tears of Fate"
speed:5 accuracy:+5 damage:+6L defense:+3 rate:4

Special Powers:
The Tears of the Five Maidens have several charm-like powers. Each power can be invoked as a miscellaneous action Using these powers are (in Exalted terms) hideously expensive so it's balanced. The ultimate power will drain at least 20% of a characters essence pool and about half his/her willpower pool. Worse, it shuts down charm use and weakens defense, which can be deadly. And that's before the aggravated health level is spent ...

Note: These don't count as a charm activation.

Stolen Secrets
Cost: -- Mins: -- Type: reflexive (step 7) Keywords: automatic Duration: instant
Upon striking an enemy (just getting past DV, doesn't have to do damage), you learn one glaring/crippling fact about that foe.

Twisted Destiny
Cost: 1wp Mins: -- Type: simple (speed 5, DV -1) Keywords: obvious, fate Duration: varies
An enemy previously struck by The Tears of Jupiter suffers a negative astrological effect of your choice, so long as information obtained from Stolen Secrets is somehow manipulated to achieve it. A bright green disk extends from the wielder for (essence) miles while the astrological effect takes hold. The disk fades after 5 ticks.

Feared Exposure
Cost: 2wp Mins: -- Type: simple (speed 5, DV -1) Keywords: obvious, illusion, stackable Duration: varies
Stolen secrets are channeled into the blades. Upon striking the enemy again, the enemy believes that you and everyone he knows or can currently see knows this horrible secret. Once struck, the opponent suffers a 1-die penalty to all dice pools and DV's for the remainder of the scene. While the secret is being channeled, The Tears of Jupiter are surrounded by a bright green halo, visible for (essence) miles.

Haunting Distraction
Cost: 2wp Mins: -- Type: simple (speed 5, DV -1) Keywords: obvious Duration: next (essence) actions
The essence of a stolen secret is channeled into the blades, blindsiding a foe. For the next (essence) actions, your attacks on that foe are unexpected. While in effect, the secret, written in Old Realm, materializes on a glowing bright green prayer strip that floats around you.

Tears of Blood
Cost: (Enemy's Conviction)wp Mins: -- Type: reflexive (any step) Keywords: obvious Duration: instant
An enemy automatically botches one roll of your choice, related to stolen information, unless they make a current willpower roll at difficulty (your essence). Regardless of whether the target resists, both you and they shed a single tear of blood.

Knowing and Fearing Prayer
Cost: 20m+5wp+1ahl Mins: -- Type: simple (speed 5, DV -2) Keywords: obvious, prayer strip Duration: one scene
The character takes a prayer strip containing the Scripture of Secrets and infuses it with essence while reciting the prayer. If the character does not posess the prayer strip, they may reflexively create one for 5m. For the duration of the prayer, both Tears of Fate and Tears of Destiny hover around the character and parry incoming attacks (ignore onslaught and wound penalties). The character may not dodge or use charms for the duration of the prayer.

At the conclusion of the prayer, the character dons the prayer strip (like a headband) and designates one target. For the rest of the scene, The Tears of Jupiter no longer inflict physical damage to that target. Instead, their innate abilities are modified to extreme levels.

- The designated target may not regain willpower through stunts for the scene.
- Upon successfully striking that opponent, drain 1wp from said target.
- An opponent reduced to 0wp falls into a coma and can make a reflexive (essence + intelligence) roll every week (every day for Exalts, Demons, &c) to recover. The target needs (your essence * points of willpower stolen) successes to revive themselves.

During the period in which the target is unconscious, you know everything the target knew, with perfect clarity and recall. Once they regain consciousness, you do not lose the knowledge, but lose perfect recall. You may use one Charm the target possessed while the target is in this state. Only one target may be rendered in this state at a time. You know reflexively when the target breaks free.

Alternatively, you may use any of the target's Virtue ratings as your own during this period. This causes massive flashbacks.

If the target is killed (not by you), you know everything the target knew, and everything Fate designated that the target would have known in their lifespan. This can be overwhelming at times. You may use any Charm on a tree the target had purchased Charms for, at a surcharge of 2m (as if you had learned it as an Eclipse). Only (intelligence) Charms acquired this way may be useable at a given time. (You can re-shuffle the Charms after sleeping)

The target believes they are being mercilessly eviscerated by the blows, as does everyone who witnesses the attacks. Only after the coma has passed does the truth of the situation reveal itself. Thus, it is inadvisable to use this ability to interrogate others.

ill have a go at this

well if everyone else is having a go at this magic weapon stuff i think i should too

Ragan's Gauntlets (pronounces RA-gan not like the ex-president)

Ragan was an dwarven pit fighter known for his ability to annihilate his foes with his fists.

benefits:
+1 to AC
+2 to base attack bonus (only when using the gauntlets as weapons)
critical = 19-20/3

when wielded by a dwarf these gauntlets grant +1 strength

[archmagi1]

not to be picky, but what kind of bonuses? Enhancement, competance, luck? Also, +2 Str would probably be more appropriate since it *always* increases your modifier.

[THENDM]

i made it so that its just something for low level games not an epic character since thats the level that most of my games run at...

The Blinkin' Pup (Artifact of Legends)

Though this technically doesn't fit the title of this thread, I thought this magic artifact I made was worth mentioning. So here goes...

---

The Blinkin' Pup

No one knows exactly how this artifact came to be, and only few have known its true powers, but many wandering travelers, who found themselves lost on a foggy night, swear to have seen it and felt it drawing them in.

The artifact is a marvelously crafted wooded box of about 6 cubic inches in size. When the box is placed upon empty forest clearing, on a misty night, by a good aligned character, and the proper phrase is spoke, the box unfolds into a cozy looking little tavern, called "The Blinkin' Pup". It then covers itself in a thick fog, that spreads itself a mile in every direction. The tavern itself becomes a beacon within that fog, drawing you in with its warmth of a lit fireplace, the smell of an abundance of food and drinks, and the sound of music and laughter. Inside, the tavern is a lot bigger than it looked from the outside. There is a bar with a halfling behind it, named Oliver, who can serve you any drink you want. A halfling cook, named Suzy, who can cook any meal you fancy. There are the halfling triplets, named Mary, Marcy, and Maggy, wading upon the guests, and their three older brothers, Mik, Dan, and Tim, providing the entertainment. The tavern is big enough to hold up to 30 guests up to large in size and has a bedroom for each, where they can rest like kings. The place has an unusual effect upon everyone, for even the most ill tempered or bad mannered feel themselves compelled to just eat, drink and be merry, before finally going to bed.

The fog is a on giant two way portal, that seems to be in touch with other natural occurring fogs 400 miles around the tavern. Any poor souls who find themselves lost within these natural fogs all find their way somehow to "The Blinkin' Pup" through magical means. As a beacon of hope, it draws them in, and treats them well. As these poor souls wake up the next morning, they will find themselves in the same place as they found themselves lost the night before, but with a filled stomach, new found hope, and instant knowledge of the way home, as if under the influence of a "Find the Path" spell. Their memories of "The Blinkin' Pup" will seem like a vague dream to them, but a dream that will stay with them for the rest of their lives.

There is just one exception, and that is the character that placed the box and spoke the phrase to activate it. He is in full control of his actions and thoughts, and thus can focus himself on other things besides eating, drinking and being merry. He can even choose to stay awake when others feel their beds calling them. This allows him to do anything within the boundaries of his powers and alignment while other are dreaming peacefully. However, even he is restricted from using any form of violence. Eventually even the character must sleep, and while he sleeps, the tavern and the fog will disappear, and return to the box they came from. The character will wake up fully refreshed on the same spot the box had been activated, with full memory of the events of that night, and all of his possessions on him. The character can choose to leave some of his possessions behind though, and he will find them again when he is able to activate the box once more. To do this, he simple has to place the item at least five feet away from his bed, before going to sleep. The character will always get the same room whenever he activates the box, so he will always find the items where he left them. Unless of course the item is left outside the room, then there is a chance another guest might have taken it with him.

Well, this is it, and I hope you'll like it. I would love to get some feedback on it.

[Aisling]

Got some other stuff I have been working on.

• Dreamchaser - a new Prestige Class.

• Silk Ribbon of Entanglement - a Wondrous Item/Weapon.

Again, some feedback would be apreciated.

"Tough Crowd"

This 2ft. long rod has a large copper tomato-shaped head with faint reddish glow (5ft. radius). When activated with the proper command word ("Boooooh"), it will cast 2d6 rotten tomatoes at one or several targets (no two of which can be more than 15ft. apart) up 60ft. away as a ranged touch attack. Each tomato requires its own roll to hit, and will cause a victim to be silenced for 1 minute per tomato that hits a target successfully (3 minutes on a natural 20). Each victim is allowed a will saving throw (DC 15) to negate the effect and become immune to the tomatoes for a month. This rod can be activated once per day.

Moderate conjuration and illusion; CL 10th; Craft Rod, create food and water, silence; Price 12,000 gp.
