Could have been some high level rogues he caught! [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img]

i might make it only useable by either evil or at least not good too. most people of a good alignment would be averse to using something with souls trapped in it.

Here is my idea for a weapon:

Name: Long Sword + 5 Sword of The Dragon's Spirit,

Even after all LIVING dragons were destroyed, there were many draconic species left so a Very powerful mage named Tivinon Created this sword to target those species and protect the user from some of their more powerful abilities.

Stats:
4D19 damage normally, x2 damage against dragon-like creatures
Special: (Wielded): immunity to hold,charm,and Greater Malison attacks. (Initiated): Shapechange 2x/day

Weight: 12lbs
Required Level: lvl 12 warrior
Req. Str.: 10
Not Usable by:
Non warrior classes

Yes, I was thinking of that, as well. I don't imagine the wizard that trapped their souls would have been the nicest fellow, either.

Yea....anyways, heres another idea for something

Robe of the Super Magi
This magical robe was thought to be created by the the instability of magics through the realms. Its powers, and its disadvantages must be thought through carefully before wearing this robe. To some, it will be worth it, to others it would be nearly torture.

Equipped Abilities:
AC base set to: 3
Casting time increased(or whichever makes it better): 4
-2 to Charisma
-1 to Strength

Special Abilities
Cast Improved Alacrity 1x per day

Weight: 3
Usable By:
Mages (Single, multi, dual)

Is this too overpowered?

Raistlin Majere · 04-25-2003, 06:21 PM

Brings to mind the robe of vecna, really, 'cept the vecna robe doesnt have the disadvantages.

Trajo's Thrust
A wizard slayer by the name of Trajo Rioak was employed by a frustrated king to seek out the villainous wizard, Maldarr Lyranzen, who had been recently pillaging the surrounding lands. Trajo quickly found Maldarr's enormous tower, and his natural magic resisitance overcame any magical traps that would prove the to average fellow quite fatal. The quarry was found deep in the tower's lower levels, hundreds of feet below ground. Much to his dread, Trajo found a red dragon standing over Maldarr, and it was quite clear who the master was. The red dragon would die to defend Maldarr, of this, Trajo was regrettably sure. After an intense battle, Trajo found himself in the middle of the dragon and Maldarr. All were exhausted, but there was only one end to this confrontation: someone had to die. Maldarr began chanting a disintegrate spell, as the dragon drew in air for its devastating fire breath. Recognizing the actions of both, Trajo quickly threw himself behind a large statue in the center of the room. The vile wizard's spell hit the dragon and disintegrated it, but not before its fire breath hit the wizard and removed his stoneskin. Trajo picked up his sword, and made straight for Maldarr. Maldarr pushed over a boiling cauldron in Trajo's direction to buy himself some time, and started an improved invisibilty spell. He was not fast enough, as just as he uttered the spell's last word, Trajo's blade was thrust directly into his heart. Amazingly, the blade was turned invisible, not the dying wizard. Trajo managed to land a final, decapitating blow. The dust left from the red dragon was used in a series of enchantments, along with other exotic items, to enchant the sword and gain control of its invisibility. These enchantments were carried out at the request of the grateful king by his chief mages as a reward to Trajo Rioak.

Nice idea, but I do have a couple of nitpicks:

Elemental damage doesn't remove Stoneskin, it just goes right through it. The sword you have outlined would be a tremendous boon to Wizard Slayers (who currently need all the help they can get), but it's not quite justified. For instance, Red Dragon Dust would be far more likely to confer Fire Resistance than Magic Resistance, and the sword would probably cast a 10D6 Fireball instead of Breach.

Hey.....how come we don't have any suggestions from Dundee on here yet? Hmm. Tell you what, I'll bait him. Hey, Dundee!! What do you think you would get if Cromwell/Cespenar combined:

Robe of Vecna
Ring of Gaxx
Book of Kaza
Lich's Tooth
Halberd+2, Duskblade (optional)
Skull of the Lich (optional)
