As Merlin was preparing to cast a spell, a tall and handsome stranger with long, black hair approached, dressed in robes such as were worn by a race of men from the Far East known as the Sam-murai. A great katana could be seen slung on his back. Merlin wondered how he could have missed this man -- and whether he was well-meaning or hostile...
"Greetings, strangers," said the man with a mild smile and a fist cupped in the other hand. "I'm
Chiao Fung. You all seem troubled. Is something the matter?"
(ooc> Chiao Fung is a neutral good character. His katana's powers are as follows:
~ can
fly at enormous speed (let's say the speed of sound
).
~ semi-sentient -- can act on its own to help wielder e.g. attack an assassin who's sneaking up on wielder.
~ glows with a strong light that can illuminate up to 30 feet (and can be turned off).
~ can
sense danger and warn wielder.
~ +8 to hit/damage.
~ can be
remote-controlled by wielder's mind, so wielder can will it to fly to an enemy and attack.
~ turn to
giant size once a day; then it becomes +20 to hit/damage. Lasts say 5 minutes. Remote-control still applies.
~ can create two
copies of itself once a day, each of which will have all the same powers. Lasts 5 minutes.
In addition, Chiao Fung knows how to cast
heal serious wounds and
shield at fairly high levels.
Any problem? Come on, say no...
