The thorns as weapon would be a rare sight. But, I imagine rare enough that it couldn't hurt to make them permanent until discharged. Go to Comment

Very impressive. Go to Comment

Nice to come back to the citadel and see something like this pop up fresh and new. Very interesting and quirky... The whip idea for the thorns are a nice added touch. For someone who likes simple and new items of mystery/ magic I give this a good job. Go to Comment

Also.... what is the duration of the thorns as a weapon? Do they have a life span as well or is it a permanent thing? Go to Comment

This is quite eye-catching. I love the idea of the quickly shifting thorns protecting inherently magical stones that possess nifty properties. The randomness of the stone effects is almost detracting from the idea, up until you remember that this tree only grows and thrives in areas contaminated with chaotic magic.

One thing I might like to see is the life-cycle of the trees. Do normal trees start slowly mutating into Augment Trees, or do seeds from normal and Augment Trees fall to the earth and soak up the contamination themselves, sprouting and growing as Augments instead of normal trees? Go to Comment

Very cool. Go to Comment

Pretty cool Pieh - though if they are portable, you may wish to change the numbers to make the more powerful effect less likely.

You have no idea just how useful those Light Teal Stones would be in my house. Go to Comment

I don't think you understand how they work. They are two full-sized fighting staffs. They are magically bonded to each-other so that when you move one, the other moves in an opposite direction (relative to itself). They are not nunchucks. Go to Comment

Useful magical nunchucks. Go to Comment

I agree with valadaar... while having an item able to mimic its opposite is interesting but I fail to see exactly how this could be used in combat effectively. Seems rather confusing. Go to Comment

I think a little more description on how it would be used could help - how could I fight with it unless I stood in an area just as wide or wider then where the staff was located?

It seems that it would be difficult to use without additional telekinetic powers to position it properly.

I too would like to see some clarification.

Apart from that it's a neat idea.

I rather like this.  Having a second stave that mirrors one's motions could be a really nifty combat trick.  At the very least, the second stave would be causing general mayhem about 10 ft away while you engage an opponent directly.  Just watch out for friendly fire.

A useful little item. Go to Comment

What happens if he did get out? Go to Comment

I agree with the masses on this one. This is another refreshing item that is far to simple to pass up. Its back ground is detailed and fulfilling, yet one thing I miss is why was this entire summoning happening? And who was Bu’Atalar before he was trapped? All in all though I like it. Go to Comment

I like it. You did a good job of giving us a good item to use, as well as some good tips on using it. The whole thing feels just a bit tongue-in-cheek, but in a serious way (that doesn't make sense, but don't mind.) Good job, Pieh. Go to Comment

This is...odd, but in a good way. I like it.

But it made me think of some other interesting scenario. Suppose that the PCs find some way to communicate with the demon, such as a spell or if the demon has telepathy. Suppose further that the demon is confused enough to not remember what evil is, only that he enjoys committing it. He would be encouraging the PCs to do acts of 'evil' as he believes but these acts aren't truly evil, or they are completely opposite. "Yes! Give the money to the orphanage. Evil incarnate; aha ha ha!" Go to Comment

This is a nice gateway item and the scenerio is a good starting point.

This could easily be the start of a plot far larger then it appears currently. Perhaps all this was supposed to happen in the plans of some other villain.
