To be honest I just want some badass valyrian armor and swords maybe a magic item next to them as well.
Ah, well going by this:To be honest I just want some badass valyrian armor and swords maybe a magic item next to them as well.
You haven't finished reading the quest so I don't want to spoil the plot for you by giving you too many details, but rest assured, we get good loot.so I just started reading this how does the resurgence of magic affect people who don't use it like fighters does it give them more potential or something than they did before?
Possibly, depending on what we find.a legendary valyrian sword may count as an artifact right? albeit a weak one right?
We still haven't really used that planar binding tree for much, have we?So I have been rereading the chapters on our first week on SD and boy! The madness that day when the vote to place a face of the Planar Binding Tree, which also made me crawl out the lurker pile, is still absolutely hilarious.
One that note, when we get to consecrate the Merling King's temple, lets summon the Neried for witnessing the consecration and to "capture her likeness." Basically make her pose... Why?
Because I want a Lady Liberty lighthouse. One that evokes the awe akin to arriving at Braavos and seeing the Titan for the first time.
-I had an epic description here, but too lazy and drowsy to finish it so I scrapped it-
The other part of it is a learned (and validated, fuck you demon sword) mistrust of all semi-sapient fiendish weapons/artifacts.@Duesal
There's no point in giving Valaena a VS-Longsword if DP just hinted she has high DEX and needs a weapon usable with Weapon-FInesse.
We should not cripple her attack for symbolic points, better to give the VS Sword to her father or little brother later and let her have a weapon she can use to its fullest extend.
Besides, having a weapon with Reach when sitting atop a dragon is a good idea too, gets akward to hit the with a normal-sized blade from up there.
We've used it plenty.We still haven't really used that planar binding tree for much, have we?
We need to start conjuring up some sacrifices
Possibly, depending on what we find.
Blackfyre and Dark Sister are almost definitely artifacts. Heirlooms to the last dragonlords? Hell yes there's something special about them beyond them being Valyrian Steel.
The other ancestral Valyrian Steel weapons of Westeros might have some latent magical effects, but probably not. I don't think the Forty Families would have ever let a particularly powerful blade get into the hands of "barbarians".
Explanation of everything we know about Valyrian Steel here.
Then make her a Courtblade, Shortspear or something else finessable.The other part of it is a learned (and validated, fuck you demon sword) mistrust of all semi-sapient fiendish weapons/artifacts.
Would a thinblade work for Weapon Finesse? I was thinking we just buy some Adamantine from the Xorn to make Valaena a sword.Then make her a Courtblade, Shortspear or something else finessable.
Point is, no Lngsword for the DEX-fighter, no matter how prestigious.
Well, if you're asking for it, and since it's this far down the thread, I don't see any reason not to spoil.any plans on finding blackfyre and dark sister in the future? also do we have any possible artifacts already of any kind?
Not really?

I'll wait for the write-up.But bottomline, I don't trust that Spiked Chain and would much rather sell the damn thing.
According to DP they're all artifacts. The Whirling Golden Blade, Dark Glass, and Purity as well.Not really?
The Eye of Truth, Oathkeeper, Orphne Cloak, Standart of Slayers, Dark Sun Dagger and Horn of the Twice fallen are all just magic items, I think.
Artifacts are stuff you can't just craft as a regular non-Epic mage and are usually a category of power for themselves.
The Enchanted Seed is weird, but might count.
Only the Armor, Belt and Pouch are Minor Artifacts, as far as I can tell?
I don't know what precisely an item needs to be considered an artifact, but this is the list I'm working off of.BTW here's a a list of artifacts:
- Belt of the Serpent God [would piss off Yss]
- Dark Glass
- Eye of Truth
- Pouch of the Weeping Lady
- Orphne Cloak
- Oathkeeper [Not available sentient and does not wish to die]
- Whirling Golden Blade
- Ancient Valyrian Armor [Not available sentient and does not wish to die]
- Dark Sun Dagger
- Horn of the Twice Fallen
- Purity [May be too weak]
- Cursed Figurehead
Thinblade it is, then. Freaking Valaena. What a bunch of wasted effort.
That's the problem. Sometimes effects are so hidden that we don't even get the ??? effect. The demon blade didn't have that, and it ended up trying to possess Glyra when we were handing it over to the Archons. The Rod of Spell Quickening didn't have ???, but we know that Yss fixed the hidden flaw that was like a 5% chance of self-destruction every time we used it while broken.I'll wait for the write-up.
If there's no ??? in there I guess I'd give it to her.
I would rather take some risks than completly stop using evil and potentially dangerous magic items.That's the problem. Sometimes effects are so hidden that we don't even get the ??? effect.

I'd seriously much rather just sell it off and use the profits to craft things that aren't cursed or hiding harmful effects.
We'll have to agree to disagree on that. For me, Valaena is too valuable as a future dragonlord to risk her life by giving her the fiendish spiked chain. Compounded with the fact that we could get quite a bit of money for the thing on extraplanar markets makes me really want to sell it.I would rather take some risks than completly stop using evil and potentially dangerous magic items.
It would cost us a lot of flavor.
Point, but with the Devil-Eye, we deliberately chased after the ??? option for max profit.Like, our self-made products are either standard and boring compared to the ones we find, or they can be cursed and dangerous too if we are working with risky materials (see the Devil-Eye).
If we went after the other two options we wouldn't have had a curse.[] The skin (can make one mithril-quality leather armor at half price)
[] The bones (Add Shock quality to any single new-made magic weapon for free)
[] One gleaming eye that still seems to hold some strange life to it (???)
See it as the same point you have for trying to loot obviously problematic people.We'll have to agree to disagree on that.

He has done terrible things to strengthen himself and weaken his enemy. I fully aim to make him face that enemy. If he complains that he doesn't also get to run along with the "weak," then his hypocrisy is laid bare and we should bake him.
