Well, the one artifact item I'm making for the Pace mod is the Amulet of Speed and Time. I'm even editing a BAM file to make it look like a pocket watch. It's not very powerful ;) , just two little functions to it:

The wearer is continually under the effects of "Improved Haste"
The wearer can cast "Time Stop" once per day.

That, and the fact that any character class can use it.

Just to give a little look-ahead, Pace's quest is going to culminate with the Showdown at the TR Corral (that's Twisted Rune, BTW). In addition to the other members of the Rune that are already there (and have been beefed up considerably), there will also be a named Illithid, and Vellin Dahn (the Rune wizard who was originally in kahoots with Reijik Hidesman) who is a 23rd-level spellcaster, who is the one that shall drop the Amulet.

The enhanced mod also involves random attacks by Rune members, and there will be an additional culmination in ToB, somewhere after the initial meeting with Balthazar (Chapter 9).

I'm still plugging away on it, but I'm nearing my first test of it.

Anyway, I've kind of run far afield, but just wanted to give you an idea of what kind of artifact I'm designing. In the right hands it can be deadly...imagine what "Improved Haste" and "Time Stop" could do in the hands of a fighter/cleric? Or an assassin? No wonder the Twisted Rune was working on it... :D

Boy, I'd love to get my hands on that. I'll also like a challenge, the good XP, and hard fights to do. But to download, how much would it be???????? How many MB (or possibly Gigs)

While we're talking about artifacts, here's a fun pair I put together sometime last year. Overpowered for sure, but fun, especially on a spellsword. [img]smile.gif[/img]


Moonfighter Chain

This suit of elven chain was once worn by the Sun elf moonfighter Celeborn, long before Cormanthyr became Myth Drannor. Heavily enchanted by elven High Magi, as well as high clerics of Corellon Larethian, it provided him with the ultimate level of protection until he fell, battling an avatar of the Chromatic Dragon Tiamat, many centuries ago.

And the sword to go with it?


This legendary moonblade is an immensely powerful artifact which dates back to the earliest days of Cormanthyr. Its powers are both legion and legendary. When Cormanthyr finally fell many centuries ago, the sword was believed to have been lost forever. Elven legend says that that whoever wields this blade shall “forever unite the elven peoples”.

I am still quite proud of my composite long bow creation, the Breath of Kyudo Master, available here; its file name is "kyudo.zip" from 4 March 2002.

It doesn't create it own arrows or fire 5 arrows per round, but it does help the user detect invisibility and it has the possibility of killing foes in one shot as it sends an arrow into their eye.

Did anyone suggest a bow that gives a percentage chance of an instant kill, perhaps with a saving throw vs death to avoid..?
