Ironworks forging... custom items or weapons? This is the place!

[Annatar]

I see a high rate of ''My Item'' threads here in IW and so does Angelousss, so Angelousss and I thought it was a good idea for one single thread for custom items and weapons only (because the main page is filled with Item creations)

Post your new item ideas here, your stories, questions.

If you need help.. post it here! Trouble with item creation or ''is this weapon balanced enough'' questions.. come here and we will try to help you re-balance it, help you with the creation ect.

For you to start forging you need the following files (TeamBG seems to be down so I can't link the files ):

Near Infinity
Infinity Explorer
Infinity Engine Editor Pro
BAMWorkshop (Custom BAM files)
VB6 TeamBG Package (this one first)

All above listed files are downloadable at TeamBG (currently down, it happens! )

Need your weapon hosted? Ask me Annatar or Vedran (we can host them if you like)

Enjoy creating and keep us posted.

Great Idea Annatar and Angelousss! I'll start by posting a link to a weapon I just thought of. You can find it Here.

As soon as the people from the other forum create it (if they can), I will host it online (maybe with some help from my buddy Annatar [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) on this Reply so you can all download it.

It does double damage to dragons as well.

MY enchanted boots:


The Dwarven Soles

During a drow raid on a dwarven settlement Thordon Rockbrow, a dwarven prince, was taken prisoner and carried back to Ust Natha. When he arrived and was marched before Matron Mother Ardulace he refused to grovel at her feet. So in a rage she called upon Loth and cursed him saying, “ If you refuse to grovel at the feet of the mighty drow, I will make you!”. With this she destroyed his body and captured his soul and transferred it into his own boots. Then she promptly stomped around the room with them on. Later that day when she slapped a guard and he flew across the room, soon she had figured out that these boots gave her the strengths (and weaknesses) of dwarves. She has worn them ever since, until you came along...

katana +4 Blade of Kilantron
-1 to ac
+5 magic resistance
+1 to dex
can cast
cure serious wounds 2x a day
heal once per day
stoneskin once per day
-2 to intelligence

While records are incomplete rumors of the blade suggest this
When Kilantron began wielding this blade(and a twin blade which has been lost to history) it was a simple katana forged in by the village smithy. He trained with the blade at least twelve hours everyday in his monestaries' courtyard. As his skill increased so did the power of the blades. When he was an elder monk his monestary came under attack from a local warlord. For the fist time in thier existence the blades were used on others. He bravely fought forced a stalemate, eventually the warlord gave up choosing his men over possible riches from the monestary. Kilantron was found being supported by one of the blades, dead. Forever in defense of his beloved monestary. Noone was sure if he had seen the retreat of the attacking forces or not but the monks of his monestary believe he did and knew he could rest.


it's designed for late soa to tob, perhaps the new items in new adventurer's mart or on a late underdark foe. i don't have the skill to make it. some worry was expressed about it being to powerful so i added the -2 to intelligence cause it just evokes images of kensai->mages.

Boots: Dragon's Foot

These boots were comisioned by a very powerful drow warior many eons ago. There main purpose was to help this warior in stealing the love of one of the Priest of Loth, the priest who was not interested in the warrior told him that if he brought her five dragons' fangs she would mary him. The warior was so overjoyed that he commenced to create a set of item's that would further his dragon slaying skills. These boots were the first item he commisioned for his task. After succesfully killing the four youngest and weakest dragons the warrior could find he tempted fate and decided to kill a great wyrm. This undertaking was much above the warriors abilitys and he soon fell in battle. His items are spread across the realms and very sought after. This particular pair of boots is lined with a very heavy metal to stop a dragons fearsome wingbuffet, and also grant the wearer a greater chance of saving against the deadly dragon's breath.

STATISTICS:
Weight: 25 lb
While Equiped:
Immunity to WingBuffet
+3 Bonus to Save vs Breath Weapond

Just a thought. Could anyone possibly make it? Will complete the rest of his set later, sorry about the spelling.

Blade of Elements +4

Weapon Proficency Type: Longsword
Thaco: +4
Damage: 1D8+4+2 Fire damage +2 Ice damage +2 Poison Damage

The scmitar was forged long ago by three elven wizards each specializng in each element. The elves forged this weapon for the leader of the adventureos party that saved the forest by slaying a red, black and silver dragons who caused havok on the elven forests and killing Tanthai the wizard who somehow dominated all three wyrms. The elves took the bloods of all the wyrms and forged them with an already enchanted blade. The adventurer party's leader grew cocky and thought of raiding another dragons lair but sadly their tale has came to an end. How it ever came to you is anybody's guess.

Ummm.....sorry, untouchable, but if there's such a thing as an Ironworks Patent, I've probably got it. Those sound almost identical to my Boots of Balduran, which have been floating around here for months.

--full description at home, something like the following:
"One of the benefits of being filthy stinking rich is the ability to commission magical items to your own specifications. So it was with the mighty seafarer Balduran, who sought some footwear that would be useful on board ship. The Boots that resulted from the flurry of enchantment suited Balduran's needs perfectly: Not only did they greatly increase his defensive prowess (which came in mightily useful when fighting pirates), but they actually seem to be able to consciously grip into the floor, preventing the wearer from being moved anywhere against his will--even in gale-force winds. (Note that this will not impede normal walking in any way.)"

Attributes:
- Casts Stoneskin 1x/day
- Immune to Wing Buffet
- -2 bonus to Save vs. Breath Weapon

Oooops. Sorry about that Six, I remember your boots from a while ago but only after you mentioned it. Either way I would like to see some boots that resist wingbuffet. I also think they should have a high weight or even better would be a negative speed factor. They are sooo heavy you can't move quickly with them.

Again, verry sorry about the similarity between the boots that Six.

Oh, that's OK. It's just the whole "Hey, that was my creativity" thing. Don't feel bad. [img]smile.gif[/img]

I see 2 ways of justifying the immunity to Wing Buffet: Making the boots really heavy (and adding the negative attribute of reducing the wearer's Movement Rate, which makes a little bit more sense than penalizing their Speed Factor), or making the Boots actually sink partway into the ground whenever a Wing Buffet or something similar was heading their way. The latter course would imply some strong Earth magics.....perhaps the Boots were created by Svirfneblin? Balduran certainly got around, and could conceviably have mixed with some stone-shaping Deep Gnomes in his day....and that would fit nicely with the Stoneskin, too.
