Re: "War of the Ring" thread
How much does it cost to empower someone from Death-8 to, say, Death-10? Or D-11? If it is insane amounts of death gems, it is almost impossible.
Random thoughts:
What effects would The Ring give to its wielder? Horror Marked is not very good, although that could simulate the attacks of RingWraiths quite well... They wouldn't be the same ones, though.
Those weapons should be cause disease, BTW, not decay. And Rivendell should have some healers.
One big problem is the fact that Ring can be destroyed - after that it could be forged again, and that is not what we want. One solution would be to make it need awesome amounts of Death magic, 10 or 12 or something. Then someone, maybe one of the Elves, would have that much magic and a forge-bonus of 100. No-one in Ermor would be able to forge it without empowering a lot.
If all Death spells were unaccesiible by research, good nations could find Death sites and would convert "the evil power" to do good under their will. Mordor would start with the spells they would be able to use... Only Sauron should be able to cast their better spells.
Some ideas my tired mind came up with. Ignore them if you don't like them, but I would like to get some comments.
