Sword of Belwar

By:

The weapon to all appearences will appear to be a +5 sword until in battle when a qualified person swings the suddenly heavily unbalanced sword.

The sword was created at great cost by a rich merchants son that wanted to be an adventurer. The weapon was quickly stolen during one of his first nights out on his own and quickly ended this endeavor.

The weapon to all appearences will appear to be a +5 sword until in battle when a qualified person swings the suddenly heavily unbalanced sword.

Magical Properties:

The sword gives a +5 bonus to the user as long as he is not trained/qualified to use that weapon. If he is able to use the weapon then they get a -5 bonus in combat.

All the math on this one should be done by the DM. Let the wielder suffer for a little as he rolls a 19, misses, and his thief friend rolls a 17 or something and hits. Isn't messing with players fun?

Maybe a person starts off using this sword (knowing nothing about it, of course), and quickly gains a reputation as a great swordsman (due to the sword.) Imagine their surprise when they use another sword and discover that they use another sword and discover that they're really extremely bad.

Imagine how much funnier it would be if they did find out how it worked. "Sir Gawain, would you do me a favor and strike my head with this club?"

Well, this did not stand the test of time all too well. Back in the day it was cool and great, but times change and so do the ratings. This feels like watching a 70's movie ;)

I think the .5 on it is a little bit to friendly.

I do like the idea of it being easier to use for someone unskilled, but the way it was done and brought up lacks any desireable effect at all.

A group of individuals* gather up and search for, "The rod of Lordly Might." Here's the catch, no just any individual is welcomed. There will be a meeting on sundown* in an old bar. As it is, a war is going on between the Eastern Front, and the Western Front. The bar/tavern is in the middle of both lands. On the same night of the meeting, there's another meeting with the Red Rose (Eastern) and the Black rose (Western). Once on the mission, there will be other individuals met and given information... there will not be an easy destiny, but nonetheless and adventure to remember. *** I used INDIVIDUALS for the fact that you can be any species (just keep away from the elemental and supernatural creatures.). Here are some suggestions: Vampire/ress, Adhiel (Elf), Half-Adhiel (Half-Elf), Orc, Human, Half-Human... Please do not be: Orc, Troll, Frost/Forest/Urban/Dessert Monsters, Giants, and Titans. Note that you can still be one, just preferably not one. I used SUNDOWN for a realistic reason (Vamps, Giants, and others meet at night). You don't meet someone who works for the Eastern/Western Kings during the day. I expect some drunks, bar fights, and bloodshed in the story. Mild or no Language is acceptable (unless unexceptable by the MODS).
