Well, the sword *is* Excaliber/Caliburn, it ought to be just a little good How about Excaliber as a 2 handed, cursed, unique artifact, that gives Regeneration/Heals Affliction (or maybe just Immortality-the Arthurian legend has Arthur surviving and coming back again and again to defend Britain in times of danger), and functions as a 2-handed AN weapon?

Hi, Hb you seem to know alot about roman army, What I would like to see is pilum. Ermor and pythium should have them. While being similar to a javalin they had a different function. They took the sheilds of the defenders out. The tip was a soft metal so it would hook on to the sheild. Then the legonare would step on the shaft. Then wack away. Pretty smart weapon.

Again, the magical scabbard is inspired by the Excalibur myth. Not Excalibur the sword, but the story in which Merlin tells Arthur he should prefer the scabbard to the sword, Arthur doesn't listen and loses the scabbard soon after. THAT story, THAT scabbard, WITHOUT that sword.

I like the scabbard more and, figuratively speaking, lost the sword.


A new item idea:
A misc item that makes the commander Mute, increases his research ability slightly and lets him cast Rage (and/or Confusion?) in battle. The description tells how it was meant to replace vocal communication with telepathic messages, but the voiceless messages were strange and horrible and impossible to understand. People with weak mind found themselves confused and attacking each other when given messages by the item-wielder, so the messages are now directed at enemy armies. It could be called Quill of Flaming, or a Silicon/Mirror Matrix, or a Flaming Tongue.
