Leveled Weapon Example

Bluefire

The heat is on!

Keywords: Magic, Medium Weapon
Item Prerequisites: A Crux of Fire, which must choose to live inside the weapon 
Project Source: Texts or lore in Low Kuric
Project Roll Characteristic: Might, Intuition, Reason, or Presence
Project Goal: 450

Special: If you are a censor or conduit with the sun domain, or an elementalist with the fire specialization, you can use Bluefire as a leveled implement treasure. If you do so, replace the Medium Weapon keyword with the Implement keyword, and the damage bonus applies to your damage-dealing supernatural abilities instead of your weapon abilities.

1st Level: Any weapon ability that deals rolled damage using this weapon deals an extra 1 fire damage. Additionally, while wielding this weapon, you gain the elementalist’s Conflagration ability. If you’re not an elementalist, you spend your class’s Heroic Resource instead of Essence, and can’t use its Persistent feature.

5th Level: The weapon’s extra fire damage increases to 2. While wielding this weapon, you gain the elementalist’s Combustion Deferred ability. If you’re not an elementalist, you spend your class’s Heroic Resource instead of Essence, and can’t use its Persistent feature. Additionally, you can spend up to 3 surges to reduce the Heroic Resource cost of an ability gained through this weapon. Each surge spent this way reduces the cost by 1. 

9th Level: The weapon’s extra fire damage increases to 3. While wielding this weapon, you gain the elementalist’s Muse of Fire ability. Additionally, if you spend surges to reduce the Heroic Resource cost of an ability gained through this weapon, you also deal additional damage as if you had spent those surges to do so.

Cursed Treasure Example

Several Cursed Treasures are included, for which we've developed new mechanics and rules.

Axe of Roses

This greataxe’s haft is crafted from a red-tinted wood, reminiscent of auburn hair. Both the haft and the axe head are adorned with beautifully etched roses.

Keywords: Heavy Weapon, Psionic 
Wound: A vitriolic insult that ended a life-long friendship

Curse: The weapon spews a constant stream of insults and threats at anyone and everyone you can see. It accurately mimics your voice, knows everything about a person that you know, and while it doesn’t intentionally spill secrets, it has no qualms about doing so as part of an insult. Whenever you are part of a negotiation, the NPC’s patience decreases by 1 at the start of the negotiation. Additionally, you have a double bane on tests that use an interpersonal skill, and you can’t hide from creatures that can hear.

1st Level: Any weapon ability that deals rolled damage using this weapon gains a +2 damage bonus. Additionally, whenever you make a strike using this weapon, if the target has P < [weak], they become taunted (save ends).

5th Level: The weapon’s damage bonus increases to +3, and targets are now taunted if they have P < [average] instead. Additionally, a creature taunted by you can’t willingly move further away from you if they know your location. If a creature gains the taunted condition from another source while already taunted by you, they are taunted by both sources.

9th Level: The weapon’s damage bonus increases to +4, and targets are now taunted if they have P < [strong] instead. Additionally, you are surrounded by a 2 aura cloud of insults. Each enemy who enters the area for the first time in a combat round or starts their turn there is taunted (save ends), and can’t make a saving throw to end the condition while in the aura. At the start of each of your turns, you gain 6 temporary stamina for each non-minion taunted by you.

Yes, really!

This product contains:
  • Four signature traits that all kobold heroes share 
  • Ten additional sets of traits that you can unlock through adventuring 
  • Systems for transforming into a dragon and establishing your lair
