I would Pyrenk, but I don't have any experience in the scripting area. Try asking Six or Icelus.

I've made a few items for private play, including

Two-handed sword +2: Tyr's Balance

Worshippers of Tyr believe in honorable combat, and the cleric-smiths of the faith designed their weapons for a similar purpose. This hand-crafted sword was gifted to the squire paladin Rochelie du Chaux to teach her that a strong offense does not always balance out a poor defense.

STATISTICS:

Combat Abilities: faster speed factor, wielder suffers a -1 AC penalty
Damage: 1D10+2
Damage type: slashing
Weight: 15
Speed Factor: 5
Proficiency Type: Two Handed sword
Type: 2-handed
Requires: 14 Strength
Usable By:
Rochelie

(Still fixing some things on this one. IEEP doesn't understand the -1 AC bit.)
--------
Wakizashi +2: Lunar Blade
Wakizashi +2: Solar Blade

Taki Aizawa recieved these blades from her mentor, Shuukaku Buun, shortly before her disappearance from the monastery. The blades' abilities seem somewhat familiar to her, yet she does not question their loyalty and sharp wit in the heat of battle.

STATISTICS

Damage: 1D8+2, +2 fire damage (Solar Blade) or +2 ice damage (Lunar Blade)
Damage type: piercing
Weight: 3
Speed Factor: 3
Proficiency Type: Scimitar/Wakizashi/Ninja-To
Type: 1-handed
Requires: 5 Strength
Usable By:
Aizawa
--------
Eskah's Beaded Necklace

Hand-crafted from special hollowed glass, each bead stores enough spell components to create a high-level magic missile blast. However, once a bead is used for its magical contents, it shatters. (42 charges)

Usable by:
Eskah
--------
Eskah's Applejack

There's something about a hat that makes people groovy. Eskah is no exception. She claims that just wearing the floppy cloth pocket on her head makes anyone tilt their head in wonder, or puzzlement at least. Wonder or not, this hat is one righteous piece of headgear.

Special: +1 CHA bonus, immune to stoneskin, protects against critical hits

Usable by:
Eskah
--------
Anomen's Vambraces

Did Rochelie really strap on the wrong arm guards by mistake? You decide.

Special: wearer is under a permanent Luck spell
--------

This post has been a shameless plug for Umar Hills

Why would you want to be immune to Stoneskin? It`s your best friend.

Dace De'Briago · 08-21-2003, 06:00 AM

I think its something to do with balance. I seem to remember that word from my youth.

That doesn't give me any satisfaction, Gangrell [img]smile.gif[/img]

The Statue's Blade (Katana +3)

This blade was created by the lich, Arronax, to aid his guard in preventing victims from escaping. Already a potent blade, it's power was increased greatly with the enchantment placed on it. Arronax had a problem with aiming his spells, and spent all of his spare time practicing. The blade turned anyone it came in contact with into stone, and the resulting statues were of great use to the lich. Little did he know, target practice would become the end of him. He had studied his missle spells to such an extent that all of his defensive spells were forgotten. A wandering Blade unknowingly entered the tomb, and found that he had less trouble with this lich than any other. His mastery of aim amazed Arronax, who put up no resistance. The katana became proof of the deed, and made for an interesting tavern tale, as well.

(Bad description, I know. I told you, I can't create these things

)

Combat Abilities:
Strength of Stone chance whenever sword strikes an opponent
(5% chance of Flesh to Stone and Slow on target, no save. Target's strength will be increased to 25.)-Just for fun.

Damage: 1D10+3
Damage type: slashing
Weight: 15
Speed Factor: 0
Proficiency Type: Katana
Type: 2-handed
Requires: 15 Strength
Not Usable By:
Druid
Cleric
Mage

Questions:
1. The sword is intentionally two-handed. How difficult would this be to script? (Katana image, two-handed).
2. Is it balanced?
3. Do you get exp for killing stoned enemies?

****************Happy, Gangrell? All posts not relating to the topic have been deleted.

1. The sword can be easily classified as a katana, but the paper doll will not resemble one, just as a regular two-handed sword.
2. I would change the chances from 5% to 15% at least, but having slow effected onto the target when they're turned to stone isn't really needed.
3. Yes.

As for the strength score, say that when the the target is turned to stone, their life energy is drained (so to speak) and will boost your strength 3 points for 4 rounds. This will not be cumulative.

1. I don't mind having the paper doll look like a two handed sword, although I'd prefer a katana image. As long as I can use a katana with both hands [img]smile.gif[/img]

2. I meant that there is a 5% chance for either FtS and Slow, not both at the same time.

About the Str thing-it was a way to balance the weapon; if the weapon Slows the target instead of Stoning it, the target's strength will become 25. It's stupid, but it does balance it a little

Gangrell · 08-21-2003, 05:29 PM

Wouldn't be a good idea Pyrenk. Even if some of the enemies are slowed, would you really want some of them to have a 25 (god) strength?
