The BoM item pack (It's out!)

Remove all ads!

HuH are you talking about actually making the item, or just describing what it will do? I have already made a moonblade, but if you think you can script it to be only wearable by the PC without using tons of loopholes then be my guest.

 

olimikrig I could write the text. My home PC has been on the fritz lately and I am in a dire need for an upgrade, running Windows ME. YUCk. Or else I would actually create the item.

Here are a few more weapons I wrote up. Let me know what you think. I love Dart of Death.

Club of Deep Wood
This club was made in the heart of Cloakwoods by a hermit. This club has been imbedded with all sorts of natural magic that it is only relevant that those who wish to protect nature can use this club. This club solo purpose is to protect nature and those who wish to protect nature. This club has only seen the hands of a few and those who do hold it understand their purpose and will protect nature in such a way they never thought so before.

Jaheria’s Club of Good
Jaheria a warrior druid and a protector of the wood was often seen carrying this mighty club. After a while the club grew in power from the magical energies she cast to protect her friends and to attack their enemies when in battle. As Jaheria traveled with her companions she slowly started to see why fighting for the cause of good would benefit nature and neutral perceptive slowly changed. When her Jaheria traveling party was attack when resting out one night she missed placed her club for another and notice that she lost the power she once had when she yield this club and no longer felt as if fighting for the cause of good would benefit nature. In the battle her club was taken from a Hobgoblin who took flight due to how fast his comrades were falling. Jaheria took off after the Hobgoblin but lost him in the mist of the foggy night. Since that night Jaheria prefers to wield a scimitar or a quarterstaff due to the fact that she will never be able to hold a club like the old that was forged with magical energy in her hands.

Shank Metal Club of Stone Cracking (Cursed)
This club was the most prized possession of Shank, a dwarf cleric who went out and tried to rid his clan of the attacking Stone Giants. During his battle with the giants it is said when he hit them their bodies it would start to crack. His clan doubt it was Shank strength that would cause the giants bodies to crack, since Shank could not use armor due to how he could barely lift 50lbs. Shank clan believed the metal club Shank yield was tuned to Shank’s hatred of Stone Giants and his hatred fueled the club to crack and sometimes shatter the giants into tiny pieces. However due to Shanks lack of protection he fell one day to a band of stone and hill giants and that was the last anyone heard of Shank. However his club as been in the hands of many warriors and after wielding it for a day or two many drop the club due to how weak they feel after wielding it for such a short time.

Love the Jaheria club.

 

It looks great Abdel. You work a way too fast for Malovae and I to keep up with you , which is only good!

Any one interrested in translating tis to either: german, italian or spanish? Already got a French translater (thanks Ofelix)....

Heh, by the way I don't think I can use this pack myself in my Misunderstood party, since there's too many of the items I am allowed to use there's actually worth the while, which if you have read the thread you'd know, is bad

I'll make a suggestion. This'll be great I can't make up good names and I'm terrible at descriptions.

Dart of Healing

This is a strange dart made by a cleric whose name is unknown. The dart acts like a sling but it doesn't take any bullets and can't use bullets. This dart isn't made for killing but rather for healing. Not much else is known besides the fact it is a dart that doesn't inflict pain.

STATISTICS:

Damage: none
THAC0: +2
Special abilities:
Returns to Thrower
Cast Raise Dead 1/Day
Target that is Hit is healed 20 points of damage
Damage: none
Damage Type: missile (piercing)
Weight: 0
Speed Factor: 1
Proficiency Type: Sling
Type: One-Handed
Requires:
Usable By:
Clerics (Dual, Multi or Single)

I hope that was a good suggestion.

 

Ooh, I've got an idea:

Rock of DUH!!

Similar to the type of rock that was flung at Neeber/Noober in his childhood, these stones unerringly seek out the skulls of their hapless victims. It is said that a single blow from one of these strange rocks can lower an IQ by up to 50 points!

STATISTICS:

Damage: 1d4+1
THAC0: -1
Special Abilities:
-1 INT (permanent) on hit
5% chance of Feeblemind
Damage type: missile (piercing)
Weight: 0
Launcher: sling

It's effectively a +1 rock (1d4 damage base, IIRC) with a -2 modifier for the called shot on the head. The Feeblemind isn't really necessary if you want to take it out. This would be a great thing to have when you meet up with Noober.

Noober: "Are you gonna throw rocks at me?"
PC: "Yes." *thwack!*

It'd be pretty sweet against low-INT enemies, too. A few hits and they're dead from stat-drain.

 

Abdel, you Dagger o' Death is soooo much fun

kamikaze!

 

Yup, it's even more insane than Westley's version of Eye-gouger that blinded the thrower, inevitably sending them wandering into the fray.

Still, it'd be lethal if you cast Death Ward on the thrower before unleashing it.

@ Fel: we could sneak in an AoLS reference and call it the Rock of Bush instead...

 

Ah, but there got to be a cheezy way around everything, no? Okay, should I make it a save vs. something else instead ?

 

Nah, maybe just remove the save penalty: -10 is simply mental: Finger o' Death is only -2, after all. Maybe make it a bonus to save, like Chromatic Orb.

 

Could do that, but then we'd also need to give a bonus to the opponents save. Also I think I'm going to make it a stacked item instead of returning. I don't think you should be able to use this as an alternative way of Ctrl+y a creature throughout the game, or

 

olimikrig don't forget the character throwing the dart must save vs. death at -15 or die. That is why it is a cursed item. Maybe make it save vs. spell or breath weapon at -10 for the thrower and -5 for the target. Either way this dart purpose is to take the life of the thrower and not the target.

Now think of it this way. If this weapon returns to your hand and you have 3 attacks a round, that would require 3 saves within a round. Now at a -15 modifier for the thrower chances are they will die by the third throw. On the other hand the target has a greater chance of living at only a -10 modifier to their saving throw.

My next catergory is the daggers and so far this is what I have in mind.

Dagger of Paper Cutting....
I will write it up later on today and post it. I believe everyone on here will get a good laugh with this lethal dagger.

 

At -15 chance are that they'll die by the first throw It would require them to have a pretty high saving throw to make it at -15

Hmm... Maybe, just maybe I should make it an disintegrating death, destroying the caster and his items alike? What say you

 

olimikrig,

As for the actual way the person dies disintegrating, death, etc... works. As long as the person has to save vs. something or die I could careless what spell is cast upon a failed save.

Here is one weapon that is over powered only if you repeatly have successful hits in a row on one target. Of course if you miss than hit, than miss, than hit the damage would be minimum in comparison. Though over powered if successful this weapon has no increase in Thaco but is considered a +2 weapon. Please let me know what you think of this weapon.

Paper Cutting Blade
This is not a weapon of choice. One usually wields this weapon when others are either broken in the heat of battle or removed from their possession. This weapon can be quite effective when the wielder takes their time and continuously hits their enemy with this thinly crafted blade. The blade when looked at appears to be as thick as the thinnest parchment ever seen in the realm. The weapon smith who created this blade took years of forging to provide the owner a weapon that had an ultra thin blade and stability in the blade not normally seen. The original owner of this weapon was a mad arch mage who enjoyed inflicting pain and torturing his enemies. This weapon was often seen slicing open a small harmless wound on the victim. Once the mad arch mage sliced the victim skin open, even though it appeared no wound occurred, the mad arch mage would squeeze lemon on the victim unseen wound. This of course often lead the mad arch mage victims into crazy frenzy as they endured numerous slices repeated by lemon juices penetrating a almost unnoticeable wound. After the 5th cut the victims of this blade would often seem unconscious from the pain the lemon juices provided. One such victim the mage tried this on was well protected against little weapons like this. This victim cast a spell that harden his skin and upon the 5th hit the victim was still awake. Surprise by this the mage start slashing and spraying. The victim survived around 30 or so strikes before the mage accidentally cut his prisoner free. Once the prisoner was free the mad mage life was ended by his only torturing blade and rightfully so.
STATISTICS:
Combat Ability:
Each successful hit the target will take additional 2 point of lemon juice damage. Each successful hit that is followed by another successful hit the damage would be doubled. Strength modifiers not included in the multiple successful hit damage calculations.
Example of how special ability works:
Round 1 successful hit 1d2+2
Round 2 miss no damage
Round 3 successful hit 1d2+2
Round 4 successful hit 1d2+ (2* 1d2+2)
Round 5 successful hit 1d2+ (2* 2d2+4)
Round 6 successful hit 1d2+ (2* 4d2+8)
Round 7 miss
Round 8 successful hit 1d2+2
Etc…..

That's very nice Abdel.

Could be very deadly in the hands of an extremely low THAC0 warrior... Or utterly useless. Just out of interest, how do you intend to handle dual-wielding? Will misses on the off-hand count too? Is it even possible to stack damage like this?

 

Make this weapon 2-handed and the problem of the off hand would be solved. After all it was mad arch mage who wanted the weapon. I will edit my previous post.

 

I like the idea of a throwing hammer, since it is an excellent weapon for high strength fighters as long as the damage plusses for high strength apply to this when it is thrown, in the same way they do with the dwarven thrower. However the usefulness is largely ruined by only allowing dwarves to use it. I would allow non-dwarves to use it, no reason they shouldn't. I'd go further, and have this hammer made from wood with the head hardened until it is almost as tough as iron. Druids now have a good alternative weapon to sling bullets.

Now in the 'not usable by category' there are
Thieves
Magic Users

ps. I would also raise the speed factor to something like 4, hammers are far too unwieldy to rate a 1.

 

Good idea

That's exactly my point. And the prob in BG to is that the only throwing hammer is the Dwarven tosser/thrower, which cannot be used by non-dwarves. Every party should have the chance of selecting throwing hammer!

 

Got three more done. Emailing them now. Just letting people know whats going in

Below is Western Paladin's updated sword. The description may change.

Crystal Clear +2

This sword is a truly gorgeous weapon, with an intricate hilt made of an unidentifiable silvery metal and a long blade made of pure, clear crystal that glows a light blue colour due to energy given off by the impossibly floating runes it contains. It once belonged to the famed Ilyana, a ranger from the East who fought against large infestations of undead across the land, taking special attention to the whereabouts of liches, her favoured enemy. A sorcerer made this weapon to be like her, delicate-looking yet deadly. It’s slightly lighter weight for a weapon of its size allows for noticeably quicker attacks, although it must still be noted that it is no short sword. In spite of its delicate appearance, the crystal is very sharp and hard, and when the wielder wishes, may reflect magical attacks just like deflecting sword blows from enemies. Ilyana vanished from the historical records about thirty years ago, and the shopkeeper is not quite sure how her sword got to this country.

Below if Firag's cursed armour. Not much info to go on but I have given it a somewhat logical name based on the story and fleshed the story out a bit because i didn't recognise some of the references.

Firag, if you have anything you want changing let me know, and i'll get on it

Mother’s Curse +1

Although no one really knows who forged this armour, the tales that surround this artefact claim that it was the mother of a famed hero named Firag, who created this cruelly useful full plate. The abilities the armour gives to its wearer, though mysterious, do come at a painful price. Once equipped, it cannot be removed from the body. This is mainly because the inside of the armour is covered with small spikes that dig into the wearer and eject small amounts of weak poison into them. Although unnoticeable, it does require a healthy person to endure such an effect. The poison also slightly discolours the wearer damaging their charisma.

Legend has it that when leaving for the border realms Firag left his armour in the Temple of Helm. This story is given some merit, for that on the back side of the armour you can see the sign of Helm, which indicates that it was probably gifted at some point to a servant of that deity. Modern scholars argue that the armour was crafted by an unknown craftsman within the service of Helm, but this is largely discredited by the fact that the symbol was obviously added later as a consequence of its extensive use throughout the Order. The armour has been used by many great adventurers over the years, including Theodora Manstapler, Igor ‘the merciless groundhog killer’ Smith, Dasios Noober and of course Firag. The great success of these adventurers speaks for itself and although cursed, this plate surely has more heroic days in it yet.

STATISTICS:

This one is mine, i hate the fact that there is only two pairs of boots in SoA worth using (Boots of speed and boots of Avoidance). the Speed ones usually win due to the faster travel. So here are ones which increase movement speed but don't put the stupid haste icon on....


Yugoll’s Boots of Escape

Yugoll was once a name that many authorities regarded as a dirty word. Understanding why this was requires an understanding of the mind of the policing forces of Faerun. The main thing to know is that they don’t like being outsmarted or evaded longer than a day or two. After a day the fun of the chase became the boredom of the search. Yugoll, a thief of some renown up in Waterdeep, was one of the most difficult targets of the Waterdeep authorities. Taking great pains to capture him alive, the guards were not allowed to use lethal force when they found him. Whole teams of war wizards were sent to stop him in his stride, but no matter what they threw at him he merely danced around as if nothing had happened. Before they knew it, he had clicked his heels together and miraculously became invisible; disappearing into the night.

So cocky was Yugoll, he began to operate during the day, in plain sight of guards and townspeople. This alarmed the most senior officials of the city, who feared such a blemish on their Guards reputation would lead to damaging repercussions in the trade sector. In response, they hired some of the best bounty hunters in the land to procure him. The woman that finally brought Yugoll to his knees was a veteran bounty hunter named Theresa Vargu. As cunning as well versed in her trade, she engineered a fake art show, where dozens of masterpieces were to be shown to the public for a small fee. It was not long before Yugoll struck, and Vargu was ready waiting. As soon as he appeared, ten guards jumped out and surrounded him, which led to several moments of hysterical laughter at the meagre attempt. Then something Yugoll was not expecting happened, Vargu threw a trap at him. Not expecting that the authorities would try to hurt him, he recoiled in terror. But when fired it did nothing. Then it slowly dawned on him as he saw the enclosing ethereal bars…. he was to be mazed.

By the time Yugoll was released from the magical prison, the guards had erected a miniature prison in the mock-art gallery. He was going no where. It was soon found that his extraordinary ability to avoid capture was due to the boots he had worn.

From that point on, over confident thieves were called ‘Yugolls’. He never saw his boots again.
