Default Re: High End Swords Part 3

Swords of Renown continued

Bane Sword
Type of Weapons: Any Sword
These are not Named Swords. These are not EGO SWORDS
Description: These are finely made sword by Master Armorer that are +1 Dam.

The Banesword contains a Pure Diamond in the Pummel. A magician anoints the gem with blood (or other relevant essence) of the enemy species.

This acts like a regular Fine Sword until it encounters its Bane Creature, whose Life Force has sensitized the weapon. There is a power hum as it seemingly propels itself out of the scabbard.

• Fencing Spell. As per TFT Fencing Talent. What it really is doing is, is a specialized Charm Spell $50000, 20 weeks + 20%.

The wielder must already have the Sword skill. When this sword is used it does DOUBLE damage on any "to hit" roll or 7, 6, or 5, and TRIPLE damage on a 4 or 3. The basic adjDX must be at least 14, or it is -1DX for every point below 14.

(If the wielder already has Fencing Talent, then Double Damage becomes 8, 7, 6 and Triple damage is 5, 4, 3. Rolls of 17 and 18 are drop weapon and 16 is a normal roll.)

• Add +1 ST and +1 DX
The first part of the process in achieving Baneness is to attune the Diamond by anointing it with the blood of the Baned Creature which will funnel the future spells to just the Bane. This is a mesh Limiting Spell and Detect Life. Thereafter the spells of ‘increased damage’ (blade nudges the hand toward deadly spots and a hits a little bit harder) bring about the demise of the victim.

For some reason, 50% of the time, a Bane Sword against Trolls will Flame.

Put limiter on first – Elves $1000 next cost ½ due to Limiter
At the same time as Detect Life $4400 $2200 2x $4400
Then Fencing $60000 $30000 4x $120000
Then +1 St $1000 $500 8x $4000
Then +1 DX $1000 $500 16x $8000
Total = $137,400

Example:
BANESWORD - Elves
Short Sword
Fine Weapon of +1Dam
Break Bonus: Roll 1, 2, or 3 on 1d6 = no break
Market Value: $60 for sword x 10 (cost multiplier) = $600 + $1000 diamond
True Market Value: $1000 +$4400 +$120000 +$4000 +8000 = $137,400 with sword $139,000
Great Purpose: To kill elves
Name: Glorfindel’s Bane
Took ½ year to make.
Scabbard (utilitarian)
