Great Wyrms take 1/2 of their hit points on such a roll (instead of full hit points), and grand Dragons are immune to the weapon's effects. </div> <bR> <div> <B>The Dragonshield</B></div> <div> This shield was crafted to fight against dragons. The shield grant's it's wearer no magical bonus over the normal one that applies for a shield, but negates spells cast by dragons and can absorb any dragon's breath attack and store it for later use. There seems to be no limit to how many breath weapons the shield may absorb, and it has been known to absorb any type of dragon's breath. The weilder choses which breath attack and from what dragon to release.</div> <div> Current breath weapons in the shield:</div> <div> 1 blue dragon breath: 20d6</div> <bR> <div> <B>The Great Dragonarmor</B></div> <div> This armor is designed to be worn by the Dragonmasters. The suit is equal to full plate +4, and has the ability to allow it's wearer to use "claw attacks" by activating the dagger-like weapons in the wrists. The armor also allows it's wearer to fly (move 120, class A), and cannot take DP damage.</div> <bR> <div> <B>The Dragon Ring</B></div> <div> The Dragon Ring is a highly prized item of Artaylium Stenis. It releases any type of dragon's breath attack, once per day, at 15d6 damage. The ring is silver and gold, with a tiny dragon's head upon the top that opens when the ring is used.</div> <bR> <div> <B>The Ring of Truth Unveiling</B></div> <div> This powerful magic item reveals the innermost desires of those who meet the gaze of the wearer.Those with a strong willpower (10th level or greater, or those with a Wisdom of 16 or greater) are immune to the ring's effects.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Flagon of Dragons</B></div> <div> This odd magical container hides a powerful secret.The large, silver vessel never tarnishes, and bears no markings or symbols. (marks made on the container will disappear in 2-8 turns). The container always feels heavy, and if shaken a liguid of some sort can be heard inside.</div> <div> When it is opened, a single dragon breath weapon attack will issue fourth from it's neck. Such attacks are random in type and not under the control of the weilder. </div> <bR> <div> <B>The Rod of Lordly Might</B></div> <div> This rod has functions that are spell-like, but it can also be used as magic weapons of various sorts. It also has several more mundane uses. The rod of lordly might is metal, thicker than other rods, with a flanged ball at one end and various studs along its length. It weighs 10 pounds, thus requiring 16 or greater Strength to wield properly (-1 penalty to attack rolls for each point of Strength below 16).</div> <bR> <div> The spell-like functions of the rod are:</div> <div> • Paralyzation upon touch, if the wielder so commands</div> <div> • Fear upon all enemies viewing it, if the wielder so desires (6-foot maximum range)</div> <div> • Drain 2d4 hit points from a touched opponent and bestow them upon the rod wielder, up to the rod wielder's normal maximum.</div> <bR> <div> Each function draws off one charge from the rod. The functions entitle victims to saving throws vs. spell, with the exception of the draining function above-this requires a successful hit during melee combat.</div> <bR> <div> The weapon uses of the rod do not use charges. These are:</div> <bR> <div> • mace +2</div> <div> • sword of flame +1 when button #1 is pushed. A blade springs from the ball; the ball becomes the sword's hilt. The weapon shortens to an overall length to three feet.</div> <div> • battle axe +4 when button #2 is pushed. The sword blade springs forth, and the handle can be lengthened up to 12 feet, for an overall length of from 6 feet to 15 feet. In 15- foot length, the rod is suitable for use as a lance.</div> <bR> <div> The mundane uses of the rod do not use charges. These are:</div> <bR> <div> • Climbing pole. When button #4 is pushed, a spike that can anchor in granite is extruded from the ball, while the other end sprouts three sharp hooks. The rod lengthens 5 to 50 feet in a single round, stopping when button #4 is pushed. Horizontal bars three inches long fold out from the sides, one foot apart, in staggered progression. The rod is firmly held by spike and hooks and will bear up to 4,000 pounds weight. It retracts by pushing button #5.</div> <div> • The ladder function can also be used to force open doors. The rod's base is planted 30 feet or less from the portal to be forced and is in line with it. The force exerted is equal to storm giant Strength.</div> <div> • When button #6 is pushed, the rod will indicate magnetic north and give the possessor a knowledge of his approximate depth beneath the surface (or height above it).</div> <bR> <div> The rod of lordly might cannot be recharged. When its charges are exhausted, spell-like functions cease, as do all weapon functions except the mace +2. The rod continues to work in all other ways.</div> <bR> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="498" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#C0C0C0" BORDERCOLORDARK="#808080" FRAME="BOX" RULES="ALL" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 94 WIDTH="486"><div> Special items of note:</div> <div> Artaylium has the following items from his adventures that do not directly apply to his character:</div> <bR> <div> 33 White Dragon Scale Shields</div> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
