Re: Items (brainstorming)
I'd hope to flesh out trinkets/lesser magic items, so thats what I'm aiming for, the no-option paths. Not worrying too much about balance, if someone uses it, they can tweak it however they want. I'm just brainstorming, not planning to mod it. I'll have particular trouble coming up blood ideas.
Blade of Bone - Damage 5, Length 1. Effectively, a short sword for when nothing else is available. If the wielder also wears the skull talisman, kills will animate as skeletons.
Wind Lash - Damage 0, Length 7, Attack 3
No weapons can repel the Wind Lash.
Alternate A: Damage 2, strength not added, armor negating, length 7, attack 3, attacks 3 times. Occasional open-ended roll can turn out very good.
Blood - Vampire's Teeth (misc)
Unfortunately, these dentures don't make you a vampire, just a wannabe. No immortality, no life drain, but you do get a bite attack. Affected by strength, easily deterred by anybody with a beating stick (range 0). Will decrease credibility (leadership goes down).
Shield of Wind - 0 protection (its made of air), parry 10, defense 4.
It cannot stop a blow, but turn it aside. As description text, steal some Zen/Taoist phrase. There's one on the tip of my tongue, but I just can't recall.
Turtle Shield - Takes on traits of turtle, including speed. Doesn't have much parry (small) but does increase natural protection by 2, or to a minimum of 5.
Hot Plate of Champions - This shield also removes the coldblooded trait.
Shield of Ribs - this shield stinks at catching arrows, but can deflect blows. Good defense, acceptable protection, etc.
Forge it with Blood and Death, and it comes with flesh still on it. Much better parry score, good protection, unquestionably disgusting, more encumbrance.
