Magic Items
Arlin Stormbrewer kicks the body of his slain enemy, the blood of his once-living foe catches the light as a remnant of it sticks to his foot. In the final strands of the dusk, something else glimmers. Kneeling, Arlin takes the body's hand and pulls the ring away sharply. The finger hangs limp. Examining it, Arlin mutters the Elvish written along the inside of the band. Suddenly, the ring glows an unholy black. Standing, Arlin turns sharply to his commander, Adiella, a cleric for the God of Strength. “My Lord, see what I have found!” -orcmonk220
Strengths of Magic Items
All magic items are broken into four different strength levels: Minor, Medium, Major, and Artifacts. To distinguish between the different strength levels, each magic item is prefaced with either (Min), (Med), (Maj), or (Art) for the four levels, respectively. For various purposes which are described in the appropriate sections, the different magic item strengths have an equivalency ratio where 4 Minor items = 2 Medium items = 1 Major item.
Magic Item Effects
The effects of magic items range from a simple +1 AC bonus, to granting a new ability such as Hide or Conceal, to unique effects such as those granted by a (Maj) Dancing Weapon or (Maj) Druidic Vestment, to the unmatched power granted by a rare Artifact.
Stacking: The general rule for the stacking of magic item powers is that identically named powers do not stack. For example, the +1 AC bonus granted by a (Maj) Ring of Dexterity would not stack with another +1 AC bonus from a (Maj) Amulet of Dexterity, however it would stack with the +2 AC bonus from an (Maj) Amulet of Protection. Also, magic item powers that specifically grant the effects of a spell in their description do not stack with the effects of the actual spell. Unnamed bonuses, such as the AC bonus granted by a suit of +1 Armour, stack with all other bonuses. Finally, powers do not stack with improved versions of themselves, such as Precision and Deadly Precision, or Resistance and Greater Resistance.
Effects: Effects granted by magic items, or damage caused by magic items are treated as if they are a special ability. Because of this, threatening a creature does not prevent it from using any magic item powers. The exception to this rule is spell storing items, because they actually grant an additional casting of a spell, and that spell is cast as any other spell.
Another important general effect is that all magic items deal magic damage and thus ignore DR.
Activating: Some magic items require activation to use; these items can be recognized by having either a limited number of uses signified by boxes: [][], or an unlimited number of uses signified by (unlimited uses) in the power's description. Only creatures with an Intelligence of 3 or higher as shown on the RPG side of their stat card are capable of using magic items that require activation.
Assigning Magic Items
Only certain creatures can use certain types of magic items. There are also limits to how many magic items may be used in a match and how many items creatures can use -- all of these limitations are described below.
Magic Item Limits: In any given match, a warlord may bring a number of magic items, regardless of their strength, equal to his Warlord Level +1. The other general magic item limitations are:
- Warlords and Lieutenants are each limited to using a number a magic items equal to their Warlord Level +1
- Warlords are the only creatures that may use Artifacts.
- Lieutenants may use magic items of any strength except Artifacts.
- All other creatures are limited to a single magic item of Minor or Medium strength.
There are also limitations on how many of some kinds of magic items a creature can use which are detailed in the item type's description, as well as some other general limitations with respect to specific creature stats as described below..
Limits by Creature: Different magic item types may be used by different creatures, so it is important that a warlord knows what kind of creatures can use the items it has. These limitations are described below in detail, under each specific type of magic item. The limitations of what items a creature can use are summarized below:
- Difficult, Wild, Disruptive or Incited creatures may not use any magic items except an Ioun Stone or Collar.
- Creatures with the Incorporeal special ability may not use any magic items except Ioun Stones.
- Only creatures with an Intelligence of 3 or higher as shown on the RPG side of their stat card are capable of using magic items that require activation.
- Armour and Weapons may only be used by creatures who have such an item listed as a possession on the RPG side of their stat card.
- Creatures may use no more than one suit of armour, one shield, one item for each body slot, two rings, and as many weapons as attacks that are caused by different weapons.
Types of Magic Items
There are 7 general types of items, most of which have their own subtypes: Potions, Spell Storing Items, Rods, Armour, Weapons, Rings, and Wondrous Items. Each type and subtype is described in detail below, including how many of each type can be used by a single creature, and what creatures can use each type. Players may choose the subtype of an item, for those that allow it, after the power of the items has been determined.
Potions
Using: Drinking one dose of a potion replaces a creature's attacks.
Effects: A potion grants the effects described in the description of the potion's power.
Limits of Use: Since potions require activation to use, they can only be use by creatures with Intelligence 3 or higher as shown on the RPG side of the creature's stat card. The only other limitation is that the creature must have a mouth!
There is no limit to the number of potions a creature may have equipped at a time.
Spell Storing Items: Scrolls, Wands, and Staves
Subtypes: There are three kinds of spell storing items, minor scrolls, medium wands and major staves. Scrolls are limited to granting 1st and 2nd level spells or spells that cost 3pp or less, Medium Scrolls can grant 1st, 2nd, or 3rd level spells, or spells that cost 5pp or less, and Staves can grant 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th level spells, or spells that cost 7pp or less.
Using: A spell storing items grant a spellcaster one additional casting of a spell that it can already cast, limited in power as described above. Spell storing items may be reused next match by any eligible creature and with different spell if desired. Because a spell granted by a spell storing item is identical to any other spell, it is subject to Spell Resistance
Limits of Use: Spell storing items may be used by any spellcaster.
There is no limit to the number of spell storing items a creature may have equipped at a time.
Rods
Using: A rod grants a spellcaster a metamagic boost to a spell being cast. Each rod has a different metamagic power and can be used either once or twice per match.
Effects: The effects of a rod are determined from table M-4: Rods
Limits of Use: Rods may be used by any eligible spellcaster, however the only the power of one rod may be added to any one spell at time.
There is no limit to the number of rods a creature may have equipped at a time.
Armour
Subtypes: There are two types of Armour: Armour and Shields. When the magic item type Armour is rolled, you may choose whether the item is a suit of armour or a shield. After this choice is made, the armour is permanently this type of armour and may not change.
Using: When armour is assigned to an eligible creature, the armour is assumed to be the same set of armour the creature is already wearing, with additional powers. Armour and Shields may be reassigned to different creatures every match and assume the form of armour or shield of the new creature. It may be more accurate to view magical armour and shields as a magical trinket that fuses to a creature's armour before a battle begins.
Effects: All magic armour is shown as at least +1 which grants the user +1 AC. Depending on the strength of the magic armour, it may also have additional powers which are determined by rolling on either table M-9: Medium Powers or table M-10: Major Powers.
The effects granted by magical armour and shields are in addition to any magical effects the creature's RPG amour and shield may have on the creature's skirmish stats.
Limits of Use: Both Armour and Shields can only be equipped by a creature who has armour or a shield listed in its possessions on the RPG side of its stat card. Any creature that shows the use of armour may use magical armour, and any creature that shows the use of a shield may use a magical shield.
A creature may equip no more than one suit of magic armour and one magic shield.
Weapons
The whisperings of her sword were too much, one sound too many in an oppressive maelstrom of noise. "Enough!" roared Valkerata, her wings shaking with the rage she felt threatening to consume her. "You will taste the blood of this chaos mage and his unruly scum soon enough, but you must give me a semblence of quiet!"
Feeling foolish for admonishing a sword, even one as powerful as this anathema to all anarchy, Valkerata pushed on, her keen eyes searching for this dissident, this Silas Arngard. It was easy to take him for a fool who sang to the peasants about the evils of taxes and kings, but in battle he fought like a demon. His horrible cacophony was enough to drive even her most hardened of soldiers to madness, and she herself felt her discipline and poise fading.
Still, he had sent two of his most prized lieutenants after her, and their blood now soaked into a thirsty ground. Valkerata smiled grimly, thinking of the naked shock that must have crossed his face when the two barbarians surrounded her, only to be cleaved in twain with one stroke of her mighty sword. With luck, this villain would be defeated within the hour, evidence as hard as granite to the locals that order was both needed and righteous. - Zarnof
Subtypes: There are three types of magical weapons: Melee, Ranged, and Natural. When a magical weapon is rolled, you may choose which of these three type of weapons it is. After this choice is made, the weapon is permanently that type of weapon and may not change.
Using: When a magic weapon is assigned to an eligible creature, the weapon takes the form of the weapon the creature already uses but with additional powers. When magic weapons are reassigned after each match, the magic weapon assumes the form of the weapon of the new creature. It may be more accurate to view magic weapons as a trinket that fuses to a creatures existing weapon before a battle begins
Effects: All magic weapons are shown as at least +1 which grants the user +1 to their attack roll and provide magic damage. Depending on the strength of the magic weapon, it may also have additional powers which are determined by rolling on either table M-11: Medium Weapon Powers or table M-12: Major Weapon Powers. Magic weapon powers that grant the effects of a spell do not require a save.
The effects granted by magical weapons are in addition to any magical effects the creature's RPG weapons may have on the creature's skirmish stats.
Limits of Use: Magic ranged weapons may only be used by creatures with existing ranged attacks and show a ranged weapon as a possession on the RPG side of its stat card. A magic ranged weapon may be used by an eligible creature for any type of ranged attack. Magic melee weapons may only be used by a creature who wields a melee weapon as shown as a possession on the RPG side of the creature's stat card. A magical natural weapon may be used by any creature that does not use a melee weapon as shown on the RPG side of the creature's stat card.
Magic weapon effects affect all of a creature's melee or ranged attacks regardless of their source. If a creature has attacks from both a melee weapon and a natural weapon, then a magic weapon of either type affects all attacks of both types. Creatures may use one ranged magic weapon, and one melee or natural magic weapon.
Rings
Effects: A ring grants the effects described in the description of the ring's power, which is determined by rolling on either table M-9: Medium Powers or table M-10: Major Powers depending on the ring's strength.
Limits of Use: Rings may be worn by any creature with fingers. Creatures may wear up to 2 rings at a time.
Wondrous Items
Subtypes: There are five types of wondrous magic items. Three of these are differentiated by the part of the body, or body slot, that they occupy: Head, Neck, or Arms. Ioun Stones do not take any body slot, and Collars are a special type of item that are usable only by Difficult, Wild, Disruptive or Incited creatures.
When a random wondrous magic item is rolled, you must also roll on table M-5/6: Wondrous Items to determine which subtype of wondrous item is found. You may choose the exact description of the three general body slot items from the options provided in the table.
Effects - Body Slot Items: The effects of body slot items depend on the power they hold, which is determined by rolling on either table M-9: Medium Powers or table M-10: Major Powers depending on the item's strength.
Effects - Collars: Upon wearing a collar, a creature is treated as if it did not have any Difficult, Wild, Disruptive or Incited ability for all purposes other than equipping the collar and Lieutenant eligibility. Collars are also imbued with other powers which are determined by rolling on either table M-9: Medium Powers or table M-10: Major Powers depending on the collar's strength.
Effects - Ioun Stones: Ioun Stones grant bonuses based their colour, which is determined, depending on their power, from table M-7/8: Ioun Stones.
Limits of Use - Body Slot Items: Items that use the head slot can only be used by creatures with a human-like head distinct from its body and without any large protrusions. For example a Bright Naga could use one of these items, but a Gauth or a Dolgrim could not.
Items that use the neck slot can only be used by creatures with a distinct head that is connected to a torso. For example a Lizardfolk Rogue could use one of these items, but a Bright Naga could not.
Items that use the arm slot can only be equipped by creatures that have an even number of matching appendages that are not used for walking or flying. For example a Draegloth or Thri-Kreen Barbarian could use one of these items, but a Thaskor or Beholder could not.
Any creature may only use one item for each of the three body slots.
Limits of Use - Collars: Collars are an item that can only be worn by Difficult, Wild, Disruptive or Incited creatures. Collars are not necessarily dog collars, but should be viewed as an item, regardless of the form it takes, which can control certain creatures that are not otherwise easily controlled.
Limits of Use - Ioun Stones: Ioun Stones are the only magic item that are usable by any creature.
There is no limit to the number of Ioun Stones a creature may equip.
Unique Items
Effects: The effects of unique items vary with each unique item. Which specific item and its effects are determined by rolling on table M-13: Unique Items.
Limits of Use: Some unique magic items have restrictions on which creatures may equip them, or they occupy body slots. If the item does not specifically say either of these, it may be equipped by any creature capable of using magic items, and does not occupy any body slot.
