Sword of Lies: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 06:21, 26 November 2020

Once the Sword of Truth, this intelligent longsword has been corrupted by thousands of years in the Banewarrens. It remains dedicated to destroying arcane spellcasters, however. Should the evil curse on this blade be removed by a powerful caster, it will return to its original intent and abilities.

Whoever bonds themselves to this sword gains the following abilities:

Mage Bane

When you hack and slash a monster with the magical and intelligent tags, take +2 and your damage dice becomes a d12.

Misdirection

When you are targeted by something that would detect something about you (e.g. location, alignment, intention, etc.), the sword lies for you. Tell everyone what the effect "detects" instead. If you confess a truth, this power stops working until you next make camp.

Spell Resistance

When you are targeted by an unwanted spell, roll+bond. On a 10+, the spell is prevented entirely. On a 7-9, the spell is cast but does not effect you.

This cannot be removed while character wields the weapon. If they relinquish the sword they gain an immediate save to remove the level.
-''Unholy'' (Ex): As an ''unholy'' weapon, the Sword of Lies is evil-aligned and thus bypasses the corresponding damage reduction.

The negative level remains as long as the weapon is in hand and disappears when the weapon is no longer wielded. This negative level cannot be overcome in any way (including restoration spells) while the weapon is wielded. This negative level is in addition to the one bestowed by the Strongly Aligned ability.
