Bloodripper - proposed item change. Old Version: ==Bloodriper Dex +2 (removed) Attack +2 (removed) Attack vs Monstrous +4 Massive Crits 1d4 New Version ==Bloodripper (corrected) Attack vs Monstrous +4 Enhancement +2 (added) Massive Crits 1d6 (increased) Vamp Regen +2 (added) Taunt +2 (added) Level Req is still 13 (unchanged) Reason for improvements: This sword only drops from the Warders, thus it seems that should be a worthy prize. The old version was unused and often discarded. March 29, 2003 by DSN ----------------------------------------- Claw of Shadows - proposed item changes. Removed: On Hit: Wounding (DC=16) (does not work) Added: On Hit: Poison (DC=16) (1d2 Con damage) Level Req is still 17 However, the weapon no longer glows red. March 29, 2003 by DSN ----------------------------------------- Cursed Cleric Flail - proposed item changes. The old version required the user (cleric) to be Lawful Evil, however Cursed Clerics are Chaotic Evil. Thus, the item unequiped on spawn. I changed the alignment requirement to Chaotic Evil. Now the cursed clerics can finally use them. March 29, 2003 by DSN ----------------------------------------- Hester's Monk Embrace - proposed item change. renamed: Dark Allegiance added: Hide +1 made non-plot Level Req is still 1 March 30, 2003 by DSN ----------------------------------------- Hester's Embrace - proposed item changes. Old Version: Light, Bright, Green, 20m Lore +3 Spellcraft +3 Only Used by: Wiz, Sorc, Bard New Version: Concentration +4 Lore +2 Spellcraft +2 Only Used by: Wiz, Sorc made non-plot, but is still stolen I removed the light mainly because Hester is the goddess of darkness. I saw no reason why she would embrace her mages with light. Also, if Bards really want to use it, they can UMD - it's a mage robe. There are now 8 bonus skill points, half represent magical knowledge, and half represent magical skill. March 30, 2003 by DSN ----------------------------------------- Ice Rapier - proposed item changes. Old version: (unused, unwanted) Attack vs Evil: +1 Save vs Disease: +1 New Version: (useable, name makes sense) Cold Damage: +2 Damage Vulnerability, Fire: 10% Level Req is still 3 (unchanged) This item is a rare drop from the Wet Caves (containers only). Now people might take notice of it as a useful item. March 29, 2003 by DSN ----------------------------------------- Hester Greataxe - proposed item alteration. Changes: new name Massive Criticals: 1d8 (from 1d4) Discipline: +4 (from +5) made non-plot made non-stolen 1000gp value removed Level Req: 3 March 29, 2003 by DSN ----------------------------------------- Hester Bastard Sword - proposed item change. Added: Charm Monster (10), single use. Darkness (3), single use. Removed: Purple Light, Normal, 10m "plot" "stolen" March 29, 2003 by DSN ----------------------------------------- Hester Spear - proposed item alteration. Changes: new name Massive Criticals: 1d8 (from 1d4) Discipline: +4 (from +5) made non-plot made non-stolen 1000gp value removed Level Req: 3 March 29, 2003 by DSN ----------------------------------------- Hester Warhammer - proposed item changes. Old Version: ==Hester Warhammer Massive Crits: 1d4 Discipline +5 +1000gp value New Version: ==Hester's Sinister Decree Attack vs Lawful: +2 Cast Spell: Doom (2) (single use) Item character changed to reflect Hester's malice toward law and order. Level Req is still 3. Note: When the Hesters are spawning with one of the new Hester weapons, they are equiping them rather than their standard plain weapon. The challenge is slightly increased for the player(s). So I figured these new versions reflected appropriate rewards for increased efforts to defeat the Hesters. Also, they are dropping quite frequently. We may need to keep an eye on how many weapons are getting sold. March 29, 2003 by DSN ----------------------------------------- Sling of Mirth - proposed item alteration. Old Version: Dex +1 Attack +1 Massive Crits: 1d4 Used by: Wiz, Sorc, Bard only Used by: Half-Orc only New Version: Dex +1 Attack +1 Mighty +1 Used by: Wiz, Sorc, Bard, Druid only. Level Req is still 7 March 30, 2003 by DSN ----------------------------------------- Soggy Shoes - proposed item alteration. Old Version: Bonus Spell Slot: Bard 0 New Version: Bonus Spell Slot: Bard 1 Bonus Spell Slot: Druid 1 Level Req is still 1 March 30, 2003 by DSN ----------------------------------------- Song Bird - proposed item changes. Removed: Bonus spell slot: Bard 7 (does not exist) Added: Bonus spell slot: Bard 6 Level Req is still 20 March 29, 2003 by DSN ----------------------------------------- weldinitiate - proposed item alteration. Old Version: name: weldinitiate Only Used by: Wiz, Sorc New Version: name: Initiate's Charm Bonus Spell Slot: Wiz 1 Bonus Spell Slot: Sorc 1 Only Used by: Wiz, Sorc Level Req is still 1 Note: I add the spell slots to provide immediate reward for becoming a member. This may lead to the character actively pursuing further study with the Weld because s/he was pleased with the initiation. This item is currently in the Weapons/Throwing catgory. I think it should be in the Misc/Jewelry/Amulets category. I could be wrong! March 30, 2003 by DSN ----------------------------------------- New Items - Shroud Approved City Armor Vulnerablities Added =Padded Pierce 5% =Leather Pierce 10% =Studded Bludgeon 10% Pierce 5% =Hide Pierce 10% =Chain Shirt Bludgeon 10% Pierce 10% =Scale Mail (See Below) Bludgeon 5% Slash 5% =Chain Mail (See Below) Bludgeon 10% Pierce 10% =Breast Plate Bludgeon 10% Pierce 10% =Splint Mail Pierce 5% Slash 10% =Banded Mail Bludgeon 5% Pierce 10% =Half Plate Bludgeon 10% Pierce 5% =Full Plate Bludgeon 10% Pierce 5% Instead of the -1 Str modifier that is on the current City Armor (Renvin's Chain), I modelled an optional armor system from the AD&D 2nd Ed PHB (Weapon Type vs Armor Modifier). However, rather than change AC modifiers, I applied Damage Vulnerability where the armor indicated lesser protective ability. If these are added to SW, next I'll change the merchants (Cully, Renvin, & Grime) to carry them as their stock. Then the old City Armors (Chainmail and Scale Mail) can be deleted from the module. ----------------------------------------- Renvins Custom Chain - proposed item changes. Old Version: Renvins Custom Chain (Chainmail) AC +1 Bonus Spell Slot: Cleric 1 Used Only by: Clerics Level Req: 3 New Version: Renvin's Custom Chainmail (Chainmail) AC +1 Cast Spell: Ghostly Visage (3), 1/day Used Only by: Clerics Level Req: 5 I also gave it a new appearance. The old one was kind of gross looking. March 31, 2003 by DSN
