"The wheels keep turning..."
I was thinking a little bit more about the LOTR party. And I decided to use
http://www.mindflay.com to help me out a bit. I started to look for weapons that would (sort of) be replicas of the characters swords, daggers, accessories, etc. This is what I came up with...
Aragorn (Ranger): Primary 1) Blade of Cuisinart
Secondary 1) Doublestrike Dagger
Primary 2) Eagle Eye Bow
Secondary 2) Peacemakers
Legolas (Samuri): Primary 1) Muaramasa Blade
Secondary 1) Enchanted Wakazashi
Primary 2) Strong Bow
Secondary 2) Peacemakers
Gimli (Fighter): Primary 1) Blades of Aesir
Secondary 1) N/A
Primary 2) Beastslayer
Secondary 2) Bearded War Axe
Gandalf (Bishop): Primary 1) Ebon Staff
Secondary 1) N/A
Primary 2) Rod of Sprites
Secondary 2) N/A
Frodo (Rogue): Primary 1) Fang (kind of like "Sting")
Secondary 1) Theives Dagger
Primary 2) Doubleshot Sling
Secondary 2) Gold Nuggets
Sam (Bard): Primary 1) Cutlass
Secondary 1) Poignard
Primary 2) Doubleshot Sling
Secondary 2) Gold Nuggets
That was all that I could come up with for weapons. I'm still looking at armor; which got me thinking again (always thinking). What about the "ONE RING". I searched all through mindflay.com and couldn't find anything that would "fit" the standards for the Ring. The only thing that came close was the "Fey Ring". It was "cursed" (the One Ring was kind of cursed), Speed +10, and Stealth +20 (like you could "disapear" if you put the ring on!!! hmmm...). But (here is the kicker) it could only be worn by Elves or Faeries.
So... if anyone has found a good alternative for the "One Ring" just let me know.
