Time for the last three magic Items in this set.
This is a very good one handed blade at +4 STR. Once per day (L1D) the wielder can add a +20 melee attack. Just the thing for a finishing move. The blade recharges each adventure day at Dawn (DWN). If the wielder rolls a Terrible Two while using the blade the magic function will not work again until the weapon is "repaired" .
One nice feature here is that the blade shifts with the user. That means that shape shifters do not drop the sword. It is not usable in a form, but you do not drop it. A Werewolf, Gargoyle or any Avatar may choose not to absorb the item and use it, since they have hands.
Having just covered the DWN, L1D and Shifts with user on the previous card, I will only say, they appear here as well.
The Spirit Pipe is a good item for the role-playing aspects of the game. It also allows non-shaman characters to get information from the spirit world. GM's can take advantage of this type of item to pass on information characters may have "missed" as they went along.
These items are all intermediate Magic Items. We are working upward from the simpler magic rings and potions to more powerful Magic Items. In the process we noticed that we need more magic items.
We have gotten far enough along in the rules and cards to be able to create the Second Edition Items. There have been a lot of interest in the NFS items we published. A rework of them is on Sue's desktop for her editing.
Now for a little advertising:
Card Set Pre-orders are here. We are getting good responses. Keep ordering!
Registration for the Dragon Storm Con 2011 is open. Check it out and register. The earlier we know how many special card sets to arrange for, the better It appears to be taking a month to get the cards back from the printer, so we will need some serious lead time.
I have begun a new series of pages related to the Second Edition Cards sets. The only one working at this moment is the Item Set 102. I will get these done by using my spare time on this project. Go take a look.
Nice set. Like what you've done...clean, simple, elegant. I do like the growing number of ways one will have to hang on to one's stuff when shifting. And I do rather like that Spirit Pipe... ;-)
ReplyDeleteAnd if these are the intermediates...well, I am certainly looking forward to seeing the Grandilarian equivilent of the Big Guns. ;-)
ReplyDeleteWe started reworking the simple items and are working our way up the scale, building how they work on cards as we go.
ReplyDeleteLooks like one simple way to scale up would be to use that LxD code and add multiple charges to similar types of items. Basic tools of the trades made better thru magic...hmmm... ;-)
