I think you mean "Gate Cleaving UBER Trident of Heart-Finding Quickness"?

[llamabeast]

Okay, so how about:

50% to all resistances
Quickness of course
Curse luck
Lifedrain
AP (surely AN is too much)

I think I would want one of them.

One interesting ability to consider would be immortality. That'd be REALLY good power - but you'd be vulnerable in the Arena.

[llamabeast]

Is it possible to grant immortality through an item? I wouldn't have thought so.

[Endoperez]

Granting the power should work fine, but the fact that you lose the item when dying would be troublesome. I hadn't considered that, and thus the suggestion wouldn't work as I imagined. Any way, Elixir of Life basically does this.

[Gregstrom]

That might take the edge off knowing you'll have to go into the next arena battle knowing that your opponents might well have been kitted out with the champion's death in mind.

[llamabeast]

Well the elixir of life's property would be sufficient. The trident is so powerful that its magic can be drained to save the wielder's life. This would also take the edge off it's cursedness: If you really wanted to get rid of it, you could just go and die somehow.

But I thought it wasn't possible to add properties like that to an item by modding?

[Sprice2513]

Oh well. To bad something else can't be added, but as long as someone makes the Trident Uber that works for me 8)

Thanks for all the ideas everyone. Lets see some moddin now =P

[Endoperez]

I just realized that it's impossible to mod in lifedrain. There's no command for lifedrain in the weapon modding part. Because of this, I made the "Curse Luck" used by Flail of Misfortune (Belial's intrinsic weapon) call in Minor Life Drain. It boosts the Flail, but it still sucks.


Champion's Trident (135) before modding:

dam 12
2 attacks
att 3
def 6
len 4

These were proposed:
50% to all resistances
Quickness of course
Curse luck
Lifedrain
AP (surely AN is too much)

We can't add the resistances, the Quickness is in already, and here's the rest:

#modname "Lucky Trident"

#selectweapon 366
#name "Curse Luck and Life Drain"
#secondaryeffect 384 -- Minor life drain (5 AN)
#end

#selectweapon 135
#secondaryeffect 366
#armorpiercing
#end


Save as a .dm file. I didn't actually test whether the special effect worked, because my test province was filled with illithids and starspawn mages and in all my tests, Lord of Corruption died before managed to drain life. Any way, the trident IS armor piercing and has the renamed "Curse Luck and Life Drain" ability. Two attacks at 12+str armor-piercing and 5 armor-negating damage is still pretty good, and lifedrain should work as well.
