A project I am going to attempt to start up *I'm not that good at Homebrewing so bare with me here*

Fluff

Their was a magesmith by the name of Kendrithel starhammer. Secluded deep within his hidden forge, he crafted weapons that were the spawn of legends.
Their was a cave in one day and he was trapped within his mine while picking Mithral ore. He was to die, however red glow appeared before him, A demon of immense power offered to save his mortal life in exchange for his soul. He accepted and was given the power to break the boulders with unholy rage.
With his newfound powers he crafted a Unholy relic, Destruction, the unholy blade. Years past and the demon returned to collect his interest. All his power was stolen along with destruction, and he was left to die. The gods were angered with Kendrithel, they offered him salvation, a chance to undo his misdeeds, He was given great holy power and constructed the sword Redemption to combat the demon who used him to get the sword. They fought for days, as they took their final attacks they fell dead to the ground, the two swords fell to the ground, the area imploded apon itself, a massive canyon with a white pedestal, the swords, crossed together lies their today.

Destruction

Destruction takes the form of a great sword, the blade is colored of blood and the hilt is a human skull with a dark black handle, the blade is inscribed with many runes of evil power.

Anyone who wields destruction takes on a chaotic Evil alignment (Changed alignment will not conflict with any class restrictions)

In addition to normal great sword damage, when someone strikes with Destruction, the runes activate as Explosive runes spell as a level 20th wizard, damaging only the person hit instead of in a blast radius.

Any place touched by the blade is Unhallowed as the spell Unhallow

However if the blade touches a Protection from evil or any similar evil protection spells, all damage is done to the wielder of the blade

Once every 2 days the blade can use the spell Destruction as a 20th level caster.

These effects cannot be dispelled but can be used against the caster with a protection from evil or something like the spell. These effects will not activate on a wielder of the Redemption.

Destroying the blade
Palidans and prophets of holy gods despise the blade and would go to big lengths to assure its destruction. The blade can ony be destroyed at the same time as Redemption. Both swords must be brought to the center of the world *A dangerous quest through tunnels and caverns and possibly a underground kingdom* And must both be stabbed into the first Mana *The core of the world a big sphere of blue* A burst of power kills the stabber, which can only be undone by a miracle or divine intervention. The stabber will be forgiven of all sins and will live their fantasy in the afterlife.

Redemption
Redemption takes the form of a great sword, A pure white blade and the hilt are sculpted as 2 angel wings, with a white angel wood handle. It presents a aura of great holy power.

Anyone who wields destruction takes on a Lawful good alignment (Changed alignment will not conflict with any class restrictions)

The sword deals greatsword damage but a positive energy emits healing allies for 6d6 damage or damages undead and enemys for 6d6 damage.

Any place touched by the blade is affected by Hallow as the Hallow spell

However if the blade touches a Protection from Good or any similar Good protection spells, all damage is done to the wielder of the blade

Once every 2 days the blade can use the spell True ressurection as a 20th level caster.

These effects cannot be dispelled but can be used against the caster with a protection from good or something like the spell. These effects will not activate on a wielder of the Destruction.

Destroying the blade
Evil creatures of all kinds dispise the blade and would go to big lengths to assure its destruction. The blade can ony be destroyed at the same time as Destruction. Both swords must be brought to the center of the world *A dangerous quest through tunnels and caverns and possibly a underground kingdom* And must both be stabbed into the first Mana *The core of the world a big sphere of blue* A burst of power kills the stabber, which can only be undone by a miracle, true resurrection or divine intervention. The stabber will be forgiven of all sins and will live their fantasy in the afterlife.

Wonderous weapons of the Magesmith
Before the 2 blades were constructed, The magesmith made weapons prized by collectors and adventurers.

Flask Crossbow
A Hand crossbow modified as such that it doesn't fire normal arrows, but now it fires objects. Samples are Holy water flasks, rocks, Alchemists fire.

The flask crossbow costs twice as much and does not deal damage by itself, but with the assistance of rocks or flasks it deals appropriate damage.

I like the fluff so far! The two blades sound interesting.

Can I provide a "crunchier" version of the Flask Crossbow?

It's not perfect, but I don't have an Item Compendium on me to base the layout off of X_x

Balance Dagger

A small sized dagger balanced on the users palm, attacking and balancing the weapon for perfect strikes with the full force of the palm.

Recommended
Dex 16

Originally crafted by the magesmith for a roguish friend, The balance blade is a dagger but below the blade is a capsule shape instead of a handle. The blade is balance on the hand *Or one in both hands* And through alot of training can be wielded through odd movements of the hand.

The balance dagger costs 100 gp and is a exotic weapon, everything else is as normal dagger except that, Balance ranks can be added to the damage roll of this weapon.

If Dex is under 16 then roll a d20, if the result is under 10 the attack fails and the weapon is thrown 10 feet away.
