[3.5/PF] GitP Regulars as Weapons! (of Legacy, or Weapons Properties)

[zergling.exe]

What qualifies as a regular?

Just throw your name out and maybe some links to stuff you have done/participated in, someone might make one for you.

[illyahr]

Does anyone have one for me yet? Check my sig for some of my accomplishments.

Iz, the Ancient Master
Vestige Level: 6th.
Binding DC: 25
Special Requirement: No
Iz was an ancient warrior, known for his focus on self-mastery. His skill in unarmed combat was dreaded across his home world, but greater still was his skill with his great two-handed blade.
Legend: Iz is said to have come from humble beginnings, an orphan raised by a monastic order. Night and day he trained, building his body to perfection, learning the teachings of the monastery. Iz’s monastery was destroyed however, and it is said he forged a sword from the scrap metal remaining with which he pursued a bloody vengeance upon the orcish raiders which destroyed the order. This vendetta consumed his life for many years, but eventually the orcish horde was shattered, and he looked back on his life and saw simply blood. For years thereafter, Iz devoted himself to peace, living in hermitage, trying to meditate on the true purpose of life. Then the fiends came, a great army, descending out of vile hellgates. Iz joined the heroes who faced them, helping drive them back pursuing all the way into the depths of hell itself. There upon the blasted waste where fireballs fell from the sky, he faced the commander of the infernal legion the pit fiend general Bel who would later rise to lordship of the First. The two battled for hours and days, until at last the pit fiend tore into him. Iz’s body shredded and dead, he fought on through sheer force of will striking a deep wound into the general of Baator. Enraged Bel shattered Iz’s sword and struck him down not just in body but soul, rending Iz’s spirit so it could not pass on to the hallowed slopes of Celestia.
Manifestation: Iz manifests first by reaching out of the ground with one hand like a corpse clawing its way back to the surface. Covered in horrific scars, the corpse slowly rises out of the seal until it stands looking like a grotesque replica of its binder, its body half rotten and thoroughly torn, sex indeterminate, height and race the same as its binder, face ravaged. 42 shards of steel sit inside Iz’s flesh, stabbing and digging into its body. Iz speaks in a hoarse whisper, voice deep, even as its body radiates an infernal heat.
Sign: A thick web of scars form across your body, crisscrossing and layering over it.
Influence: Iz drives you to pursue battles to their end. You must see your enemy completely routed and defeated. Iz’s influence prevents you from giving up on pursuit of an enemy, except to pursue another current foe, and from accepting a surrender that does not render the enemy a complete non-threat.
Granted Abilities: Iz gives you the ability to summon a replica of his sword, to fight on beyond when your body should be dead, stun foes with your mighty blows, leap great distances, and some of the skills and talents of a monk.
Summoned Blade: As a swift action you can summon a magic greatsword. You are proficient in this weapon, may treat it as a monk special weapon, and may add your base (i.e. just the dice) monk unarmed damage you possess (either from monk levels or binding Ronove) to your damage with this weapon. Your greatsword’s exact bonus and abilities depend on your effective binder level, according to the following table.

Effective Binder Level	Greatsword Summoned
10th or lower	+1 greatsword
11th-14th	+1 Sacred Outsider (Evil) Bane greatsword
15th-18th	+2 Sacred Outsider (Evil) Bane greatsword
19th+	+3 Sacred Outsider (Evil) Bane greatsword

Stunning Blow: As a free action you can instill your next melee attack with the potential to momentarily stun a foe. You must use this ability before you make your attack roll. If you hit the target must make a Fortitude saving throw or be stunned for 1 round. Once you have used this ability you cannot use it again for 5 rounds.
Narrow Path: The way of the monk is a narrow one, and it is easy to be led astray or to fall from it. You gain a +6 competence bonus to Balance and Sense Motive checs.
Hard to Kill: You do not die at -10 hit points, but instead at -10 – your Constitution score (for example if you have Con 11 you do not die until -21). While at 0 or less hit points you do not fall unconscious but are instead limited to only a standard and swift action each round, and you do not fall unconscious due to nonlethal damage unless it is at least as much higher than your current hit points as your death point is below 0 (i.e. if you don’t die until -21 you are not knocked out unless you have 21 more nonlethal damage than hit points). Finally while at 0 or less hit points you gain Damage Reduction (1/2 effective binder levels)/-.
Mighty Leaps: As a full-round action you may move up to twice your speed and make a Jump at any point during this movement. With this jump you move 5 times the normal distance of your jump check (whether long or high jump) and may move all this distance as part of this full round action regardless of whether it is longer than your speed. Once you have used this ability you must wait 5 rounds to do so again.

So that went from Good and pure to giant undead fiend hating monstrosity. I love it! Would that shattered greatsword be a reference to the weapon you made for me? If so, excellent planning. Thanks! You mentioned that in the weapon post, I didn't notice, XD.

Spoiler: Illyhar's ring of warping

Show

(Decided to make this somewhat based off your elf named Random)
The history of Illyhar's ring is unknown. Some say that Illyhar himself crafted the ring, others argue that Illyhar robbed the creator of the ring. Regardless of the story, the ring is known as the famous possession of the adventurer Illyhar, as no other stories tell of another individual with the same ring.

Illhyar's ring of Warping is a solid gold band with few details on it, but when worn the begins to shine different colors. The color changes randomly and determines what power the ring currently possesses. The color changes once per round. As a standard action, the wearer of Illhyar's ring may activate the ring gaining the power associated with the power. Illhyars ring functions once per day, after being used the ring no longer shines and instead is a simple gold band.

Colors:
Black - Gain the Spell warped template for 10 rounds.
White - Gain the Saint Template for 10 rounds (if non-good, replace all the features of the Saint template with non-good equivalents, such as granting a double strength Magic circle against Chaos for a lawful character.
Red - Gain Fast Healing 1 for 10 rounds, additionally anyone who attacks you with a melee attack takes 1 fire damage.
Green - Increase in size (as per enlarge person) for 10 rounds
Blue - Gain Darkvision and underwater breathing for 10 rounds.
Celestial Blue - Gain the Outsider type as well as DR15/--, SR 25 + Character Level, and a +2 Sacred bonus to Str, Con, Wis, and Charisma for 10 rounds.
Yellow - Cast a Blinding Light in a 100ft radius AOE centered on yourself. Anyone caught in the light must make a DC10 + Character Level + Charisma save or be Blinded for 10 rounds.
Orange - Gain construct immunities for 10 rounds.
Violet - Gain a +5 Sacred Bonus on diplomacy checks with nobility for 10 rounds.
Silver - Ignore damage reduction and Spell Resistance for 10 rounds. Additionally, at the beginning of your turn, randomly teleport into a square 10ft away from you.
Jade - Gain a +8 enhancement bonus to Dexterity and Strength as well as the ability to move over difficult terrain normally for 10 rounds.
Gray - Instantly Die.

Sgt. Cookie raises his hand

I give permission.

Spoiler: Sgt. Cookies Jar of Cookies

Show

Sgt. Cookies Jar of Cookies are a source of infinite cookies. Inside a Sgt. Cookies Jar of Cookies is an infinite supply of chocolate chip cookies as well as 10 white chocolate macadamia nut cookies. A Macadamia nut cookie may be consumed as a standard action, granting the consumer both a huge boost in morale due to the taste of the cookie as well as a strong desire for another cookie.

As a result of the morale boost, the consumer of the cookie behaves as if under the effects of a Heroes Feast spell.

As a result of the desire to enjoy another cookie, if the consumer would be brought into -10 or lower hitpoints within an hour of eating a macadamia nut cookie, the consumer does not die as doing so would prevent the consumer from enjoying more cookies. Instead, the cookie consumer lives until the end of their next turn, refusing to die and being able to act normally, regardless of how much damage they have taken.

Once all 10 white chocolate macadamia nut cookies are consumed the jar only contains an infinite supply of chocolate chip cookies. The white chocolate macadamia nut cookies may be replaced by placing freshly baked white chocolate macadamia nut cookies into the jar, however these cookies must be of exceptional quality, requiring a DC25 Profession (Baker) check to make.

Spoiler: Deadlines Trophy Amulet

Show

It is said that once a millennium, Boccob gathers the greatest of all mages within the Library of Lore to see if any can show him a use of magic that he has not seen, heard of, or envisioned. Very few have succeeded. Save for one known as Deadline, who was granted Deadline's Trophy Amulet as a reward for his expertise.

Deadlines Trophy Amulet is a Solid Gold amulet. As a standard activation power may be drawn from the amulet to activate an effect based off the metal the amulet is made of. With each activation the amulet decreases in the quality of metal, going from Gold to Silver to Bronze and finally to Copper. At the end of each day the amulet returns to it's previous Gold.

Gold: +1 to Caster Level, this is a continuous effect. As a standard action you may either activate Citywalk (as per a 10th level Urban Soul) or use Dominate Dragon (as a 10th level Talon of Tiamat)
Silver: As a standard action all attacks you make are treated as Cold Iron for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction, additionally you gain DR15/Cold Iron.
Bronze: As a standard action, you may make take a defensive stance, this stance lasts as long as you maintain a single position. By taking this stance you gain a +4 Constitution bonus and a +1 to Caster level.

Well I wanted to reference your accomplishments, and obviously the medal would normally be gold. I didn't really think of the order mirroring your placement.

Edit: I wish the OP would be better updated, I want to more easily see who wants an item besides going through the thread and checking who asked vs who hasn't been made yet...

Sorry, I just realized it was kind rude for me to call you out like that. I finally had time last night to make some of these and I promised I would. I'll make more if I can find stuff for people, some people who asked don't give as much to work with.

This is a good sign, I'm very happy you like it. I was afraid about how it would be received.

Laughing Dog, I don't even know you, and I haven't done a lot of homebrewing lately, but I got you, and I'll post one soon ;.

Meanwhile, could I get one?

After seeing myself done as a spell, I must see what I would be as a weapon.

I'd build you one, but I don't have the time, and am on mobile right now.

You'd probably be a Mace of some sort that can force people to roll twice and take the lower of the two rolls X/Day. Or allow you to roll twice and take the higher of the two. Just a couple of ideas.

The Hyena Spear

Forged of rare Abyssal stone, blood seems to drip from this longspear at all times, vanishing 1d6 rounds after leaving the spear. This +3 unholy longspear deals damage as if it were adamantine and laughs madly when it draws blood from a living creature (i.e. deals lethal damage to one) granting its wielder a +1 morale bonus to attack and damage for 1 round whenever they injure a living creature, increasing to +2 if the creature had the Baatezu subtype. In addition the wounded creature must make a Fortitude save (DC 16) or have their alignment temporarily shift to Chaotic Evil (similar to the Morality Undone spell from FCI) as the Abyssal "blood" from the spear mixes with their own vital fluids. If the Hyena Spear is used to kill a creature it lets out a powerful, booming, horrifying laugh which causes all creatures (other than the wielder) within 60-ft with HD equal to or less than the slain creature to have to make a Will save (DC 16) or be shaken for 1 minute; in addition the morale bonus to attack and damage lasts for 1 round per hit die of the slain creature instead of 1 round.

(iirc you're a demon not a devil, correct Laughing Dog?)

Windcutter Scythe

This +2 shocking scythe grants its wielder an additional +1 to hit for each grade their flight maneuverability is better than their target's (treat no fly speed as clumsy), so a wielder with perfect maneuverability would gain +1 to hit a target with good, +2 to hit one with average, +3 to hit one with poor, and +4 to hits one with clumsy or without a fly speed. In addition 3 times per day the wielder may strike at the wind itself releasing a powerful wave of tearing wind in a 50-ft cone dealing 1d6 damage per 2 points of BAB the wielder possesses to all creatures within the cone (this ignores DR) a successful Reflex save (DC 16) halves, doing so replaces one attack the wielder could make either in a full attack or as an attack action.

@dudeons: I made you a spell, I'll let it wait a bit and see if someone else wants to make you a weapon.

42 Shards of Iz

A legendary greatsword once wielded by the War Prophet from whom it took its name, the sword Iz was broken in battle with the archfiend Bel. Shattered into 42 pieces each of these shards was implanted into a cestus. These cestuses may be worn as magical gloves (taking up the glove slot). If worn thus they grant bonuses to a creature's unarmed strikes as if those unarmed strikes were enchanted with the enhancement bonus and weapon properties associated with that cestus. As each cestus is a single glove a second one can be worn, in which case the wearer may switch which one is active each round as a move action.

The 42 cestuses and the magic weapon properties they emulate are listed below, the odd numbered cestuses being for the left hand, the even for the right.

Show

1. +1 Outsider (Chaotic) Bane Banishing
2. +2 Axiomatic
3. +3 Defending
4. +2 Acidic Burst
5. +2 Flaming Burst
6. +2 Icy Burst
7. +2 Shocking Burst
8. +2 Collision
9. +2 Desiccating Burst
10. +2 Paralytic Burst
11. +2 Wounding
12. +3 Warning
13. +1 Screaming Burst Stunning
14. +2 Psychokinetic Burst
15. +2 Blindsight
16. +1 Speed
17. +1 Ethereal Reaver
18. +2 Mindcrusher
19. +2 Psibane
20. +2 Transmuting
21. +2 Sacred Burst
22. +3 Merciful
23. +2 Impact Maiming
24. +1 Ghost Strike Undead Bane
25. +2 Greater Dispelling
26. +3 Vicious
27. +2 Banishing
28. +2 Consumptive
29. +2 Vampiric
30. +1 Necrotic Focus
31. +1 Body Feeder
32. +1 Curse Spewing
33. +2 Impedance
34. +2 Energy Aura
35. +2 Doom Burst

37. +1 Incorporeal Binding Undead Bane
38. +3 Magebane
39. +3 Revealing
40. +3 Lucky
41. +2 Dragondoom Dragonbane
42. +4 Weapon

If all 42 cestuses were brought together their shards could be removed and reforged to recreate the Sword of Iz. This greatsword would function as a magic weapon with a total effective enhancement bonus of +10. The actual properties of the weapon would be any combination of those which the shards could grant, with anywhere from +1 to +4 enhancement bonus and +9 to +6 in weapon properties. These properties could be changed as a move action each round. Its caster level for all effects is considered to be 25, and any dispel effect functions as Greater Dispel Magic instead of as Dispel Magic. In addition in the hands of a monk the sword's true prowess would be revealed. A monk is considered proficient in the sword of Iz even if they are not normally proficient in Greatswords, may treat it as a special monk weapon, and may add their base unarmed damage as if a medium sized monk to its weapon damage.

The 42 shards of Iz are each a piece of a major artifact, and the precise means to destroy each shard is unknown. If it is reforged the Sword of Iz can only be broken into 42 shards if sundered by a pit fiend, then these shards must be individually disposed of.

I really like the concept behind this one. One could more tightly define the merged result, though that does take away a bit of the mystery, which is part of the point as far as I can see. The various alignment-based, Bane and Burst enhancements probably would merge/overlap, though, but even without any ones that would overlap you have at least +24 worth of enhancements to pick and choose from.

(Oh, and because I quite enjoy these things, Morph Bark hereby grants permission).

The Morphic Blade of Masterful Dabbling (Major* Artifact)

Said to be stored on the third tier bookcase in the six story Pagoda of Unequal Measures, the Morphic Blade is guarded by a devout sect of warrior monks. While the blades' powers are not great, or world shaking, as some legendary weapons, it is still a valuable tool do to its many and varied uses. The Morphic Blade has no single form instead taking many as it shifts and changes based on how it is wielded.

The Morphic Blade's abilities include:

• 1/day its wielder may use an Eldritch Blast (as the warlock ability, CL = character level) dealing 1d6 damage per 2 character levels or adding that amount to their normal eldritch blast damage (if any). When its wielder does so the Morphic Blade becomes a +3 Defending Dagger.
• 1/day its wielder may cast one of Alarm, Unseen Servant, Comprehend Languages, Charm Person, Persistent Blade, Disguise Self, Ray of Enfeeblement, Jump, Distracting Ray, Baleful Transposition, See Invisibility, Ray of Stupidity, Shatter, Invisibility, False Life, or Knock as if they were a Wizard 2/3rds their Character Level (they do not have to prepare it first, but must have Int 10 + Spell level). When they do so the Morphic Blade becomes a +2 Magebane/+2 Magebane Quarterstaff.
• 1/day its wielder may cast one of Bane, Bless, Command, Detect Chaos/Evil/Good/Law, Sanctuary, Align Weapon, Close Wounds, Cure Moderate Wounds, Lesser Restoration, and Spiritual Weapon as a cleric 2/3rds their character level (they do not have to prepare it first, but must have Wis 10 + Spell level). When they do so the Morphic Blade becomes a +2 Holy (if wielder is good or neutral) or Unholy (if wielder is Evil) Morningstar.
• 1/day its wielder may manifest one of Astral Traveler, Control Light, Crystal Shard, Empty Mind, Know Direction and Location, Vigor, Biofeedback, Cloud Mind, Concealing Amorpha, Energy Push, Psionic Identify, or Psionic Levitate as a Wilder of 2/3rds their character level automatically fully augmented (they do not have to expend power points, but must have Cha 10 + Power Level). When they do so the Morphic Blade becomes a +2 Psibane Longspear.
• 1/day its wielder may initiate one of the following martial maneuvers as a swordsage of their character level: Burning Blade, Moment of Perfect Mind, Counter Charge, Wall of Blades, Cloak of Deception, Battle Leader's Charge, Revitalizing Strike, Bonecrusher, or Soaring Raptor Strike. When they do so the Morphic Blade becomes a +2 Keen Aptitude Falchion.
• 1/day they may activate any draconic or marshal major aura as a swift action, this aura lasts for 1 round per character level they possess. When they do so the Morphic Blade becomes a +2 warning dragonbane longbow. Any 1st or 2nd level infusion as an Artificer of their character level. When they do so it becomes a +2 Metalline Warhammer. 1/day they may use any 1st or 2nd level utterance of the lexicon of the evolved mind without having to make a truename check unless speaking the target's personal truename (utterer level = character level). When they do so it becomes a +2 Heavy Mace which grants a +5 Competence bonus on all skill checks.
• 1/day they may use one of the following mysteries as a shadowcaster of 2/3rds their level (you must meet minimum ability score requirements) Steel Shadows, Bend Perspective, Dusk and Dawn, Mesmerizing Shade, Black Fire, Congress of Shadows, or Flesh Fails. When you do so the Morphic Blade becomes a +1 Shadowstriking Longsword. 1/day you may as a swift action bind a vestige with a level up to 1/4th your character level as a binder 2/3rds your character level; this bind lasts for only 1 minute and is in addition to any normal soulbinding you may possess. When you use this ability the Morphic Blade becomes a +2 Wounding Sickle.
• 1/day you may, as a swift action, shape an incarnate soulmeld and bind it to your crown, feet, or hands chakra if it can be bound to one of those chakras (and you do not have an item or pre-existing chakra bind to prevent this). This soulmeld remains shaped for 1 minute after which time it vanishes, and during this time it is considered to have your maximum essentia invested but you do not actually invest essentia into it (and cannot remove it). When you use this ability the Morphic Blade becomes a +1 Holy (if wielder is good), Anarchic (if wielder is chaotic), Axiomatic (if wielder is Lawful), or Unholy (if wielder is Evil) club for 1 minute.

As a Major Artifact the Morphic Blade has its own achilles' heel by which it may be destroyed. In the case of the Morphic Blade it is extremely easy to perform, if the method is known. It must be worn out, each of the blade's activated abilities must be used by a different wielder and the blade must be wielded in combat in each of its forms for 1 minute during the space of a single sunset and sunrise (on the prime). If this is done the Morphic Blade will rust and crumble to dust.

*It is possible that the Morphic Blade is in fact a minor artifact. If so the warrior monks of the Pagoda of Unequal Measures are not telling.

So... I need a weapon for my WeaselGuy worshipping Weaselguy Warlord to wield in PsyBomb's PF PbP campaign... who wants to hook me up?

My permission, it has been given!

*snip for brevity, because WOW*

o_o;

That... that's quite something. Something very cool! I like the interaction between the SLAs and forms of the weapon. Probably could use a bit more splitting up, since some of the forms are shuffled in under the same listing-dot as others, but that's only formatting stuff. Awesome stuff, Zaydos. Many thanks! I think I could use it to build a neat little plot around for my newest batch of players.

Never volunteered for any of these before, but they seem fun. Permission granted, if anyone wants to weaponize me.

So there are some of these threads I missed this morning.

As I pray...

PERMISSION COPYPASTA WORKS!

Permission granted because why not. Let's see if I actually have a "character" on this forum or if I'm as much of a Boringly Normal Guy What Happens to Post a Lot as I think I am.

...Okay, I have rather gotten into the spirit of a certain thread in the Media subforum (), but let's see if someone can't put together a version disregarding that anomaly (in addition to the version taking it into account, of course, not instead of).

While my homebrew shows an obsession with magic items, my real obsession is single function dependency and versatility. So, Aptitude on crack.

Item enhancement: Morphic:
All abilities specifiying a type of attack or weapon apply to a Morphic weapon, but it changes into the item appropriate for the largest number of the bonuses, but keeps all stats exept weight.(proficiency and specialization count. Also, Natual and Unarmed attack abilities count, so some Monk feats work with it)
Special: a Morphic weapon has the highest stats of any weapon of it's size category.(Highest dice count, highest dice size, highest reach, highest crit range and, most importantly, highest weight until it changes.)
Requirements: Alter Self or other means of changing form, item must be able to store the means of transformation, item must have Aptitude.
Cost: as a +5 enhancement, remove Aptitude and the enhancement used to store the transformation ability.(you strip it of Spell Storing, which is a pretty big price, but you now have a weapon that is a buffed Aptitude.)
