The BoM item pack (users item pack)

What is this? Well, this is an item pack that I'm on the verge og making.
The merchant is up, the store is running, but wait! The items are missing!

You will be the one who generates the ideas, and I'll make them come through! (Now wasn't that deep? :p )

Things to keep in mind

Baldur's Gate II has loads over very powerful items as it is. Some new powerful items will and should be introduced in this item pack, but what I personally was thinking on was a Underrepresented items pack that weren't overpowered, but in balance with the game.
When you post your item suggestions, you should provide a full list of "stats" for the item, and if you can, a rough layout on the background of this given item.

Current ideas:

#1

THRWONG HAMMER +1
Mounted knights cannot effectively use long pole weapons while on horseback, and as a result, many weapons have been fitted with shorter shafts so they may be wielded with just one hand. Maces and flails are two previous examples of this - the war hammer is another. The horseman's war hammer is a descendant of the Lucerne hammer. It is made entirely of steel, with rondels protecting and strengthening the grip. Rondels are small disks of metal, often shaped into decorative designs. The shaft is about 18 inches long.'
This Throwing hammer has been magically enchanted so it returns to the hand of the wielder.

The Magpie's Spear of Flight (the Magpie)

The Magpie was an adventurer from the northern reaches of Faerun, so named for his habit of meticulously searching the battlefield for any sign of valuable items to be parted from their recently deceased owners. In combat, he was known for his exceptional displays of great cowardice, which he preferred to refer to as "hit-and-run tactics". This spear was commisioned by him, and bears his obvious hallmarks. It has been enchanted to ward against any spell that might restrict motion, whilst allowing the wielder to strike more quickly against a foe. Combined with the spear's naturally great reach, this allows a warrior to pick his battles with care.

When holding this spear, however, one can't help but feel that one's place is not at the forefront of battle... and many of its wielders have sought to take flight at the most inopportune of moments.

MAGE ARMORS - Abdel - Bhaal Spawn
Mage armors were originally created by the renowned Bhaalspawn known as Abdel. When <CHARNAME> Slew him, the original armor was unfortunately broken, but the armor still held some energy.
The Pink Sorcerer who had followed the progress of <CHARNAME> closely came across this item as he travelled in <CHARNAME>'s footsteps.
The Pink Sorcerer tried to repair the armor, and succeeded at it to some degree. The vocalizing effect was still intact, but the flexibility decreasing counterspell Abdel had placed upon the armour couldn't be completely re-made. This resulted in an armor that will lower the arcane powers of the wearer. This is shown as a -'x' to the intelligence of the caster, where 'x' is 1 point of intelligence taken for each Armor class below that of 10.
All mage armours have an enchantment that will lower the weight, and strength requirement of the armor, so the weaker mages can wear the armors.

(This Particular Armor has been enchanted with a +x enchantment. each +1 enchantment will highten the base AC of the armor, and lower the intelligence penalty.

Ok, as I suggested spears in the first place:

Type: Two-handed
Proficiency: Spear

Special:
Free Action while equipped

Not usable by:

What does everyone think? Free action seems a bit cheesy, but it does fit with the theme. An increase to movement rate would also seem to fit, but seems a bit much. But in general, any +1 attacks/round weapon is worth using, and being 2-handed stops it being abused as an off-hand weapon. The low base damage makes it difficult to overpower too much.

[ September 23, 2005, 01:47: Message edited by: The Magpie ]

(these are just comments cause you asked for them)

I think the Free Action fits. I agree that increased movement fits too. So maybe?

Special:
When the character is hit, 5% chance of double speed Haste and Fear cast on user with both lasting 1 round? So every now and then the character really does just bolt out away from the battle? Could completely swing the battle in the enemies favor one time and not have an effect the other. It also could be funny see your character just bolt out running for the hills.

Granted, I really like random chance things like this.

Kuemper's Bane

Kuemper was a hermit residing on the outskirts of The Way Inn, near Waterdeep. Due to her ill-reguard of all people, she paid an obscene amount of gold for a mage to enchant this weapon for her. She never hit anyone with it; waving it around in a threatening manner served her well.

Type: One handed
Proficiency: Long Sword
Damage: 1d6+2/+6 vs. Favored Enemy

@ THe Magpie: I think Bg2 has enough of movement altering items as it is, or?
So free Action would suit the idea better.

Special:
When the character is hit, 5% chance of double speed Haste and Fear cast on user with both lasting 1 round? So every now and then the character really does just bolt out away from the battle? Could completely swing the battle in the enemies favor one time and not have an effect the other. It also could be funny see your character just bolt out running for the hills.This would require a new spell effect made too. Maybe Fear's enough?

@ Kuemper:
Would it hurt if the Bane sword was a scimitar or some such instead? BG2 is just packed with Long Swords as it is already, no?

Hmm... I contemplated the idea of a % Fear chance, but the point was to make a spear worth using, so it seemed a bit extreme, as it potentially makes it worthless. A hefty morale penalty accomplishes the same, almost, but isn't as seemingly random and unfair. It increases the character's odds of bolting if a battle is going badly, and that's what I was aiming for. Granted, I'm not sure if it can work as I intend, it might require some kind of inverse of the "Resist Fear" spell.

There's no need to increase movement rate, IMHO, that's why I left it out. The +1 attack is pretty neccesary, though, as it's what makes the weapon stand out. Granted, there's already Arbane, Belm and the Scarlet Ninja-to, so you could argue it's OTT or whatever, but the spear's basic problem is its pitiful base damage. 1D6 is nothing, especially for a 2-handed weapon. Adding +1 attack seemed to make sense to get over this. Also, single-class druids lack attacks/round, so it's one way of rectifying it, as Belm generally gets given to a thief or used on a warrior's off-hand.

Granted, the extra attack is pretty necessary if we won't an item worth the while...
I will look a wee on how to go around the morale boost; otherwise the item is pretty well balanced as it is , imho anyways...

Blade Of Crimson Cat


Crimson Cat was perhaps the weirdest halfling ever lived. Not only was he a skilled warrior, but he also wielded this blade. Over three meters long as it is, one must wonder how it was possible for him to carry and, even more, wield it. Crimson Cat used the blade to fend of forces of evil, never stopping or straying from his path.
Then, one day, he just disappeared. The blade was found some days later from a small village. No one knows the truth about his disappearance, althought many say that he went to challenge the Abyss itself.
Regardless of the truth, this blade still serves it’s cause unquestionately. When it’s hilt is grasped, the blade will burst to a magical flame that burns evil fiercely. Also, it has an enchantment that enables the user to wield it, even thought it stays as heavy as ever.

This is a weapon used by a character in a story written by me. The Character was actually not Halfling, but that's closest thing possible. Perhaps the damage is little too much? Also, it's 2-handed, despite being a bastard sword (they can be wielded with 2 hands, can they not?), so 2-handed sprite should be used.

Here is a quick list of Bastard Swords and Battle Axes I have created. I could continue to post here or create one full list and send it to you directly olimikrig. Let me know.

Abel’s Gift (Bastard Sword)
This was a gift from an Arch-Mage Abel to his long time friend and protector Tangor. Abel enchanted this weapon so that Tangor would have the ability to defend Abel in a time of need, which happened to be all the time since Abel Wild Mage powers would summon quite a few pit fiends when they were not called upon.

Silver Knight Sword of Blasting (Bastard Sword)
This sword was created for one of the greatest unknown heroes of Fauren. This swords purpose was to assist the knight in taking down evil wizards quickly. The Silver Knight knew that to do such a task with a sword he would need his trusted weapon to be embedded with magical energy and this magical energy would have to strike the wizard quickly before he could cast his protection spells. After Silver Knights travel with also a not so well known wizard he has learned that one such magical energy that can strike it opponents quickly and has the ability of disturbing a wizard from casting most protection spells and that is why this sword is magically enchanted with this magical energy. Once Silver Knight had this weapon enchanted he took off to fight a lich, little did his wizard friend informed him that some magical protection spells are cast quicker than his swords magical energy. That of course was the last time Silver Knight was heard from.

Elemental Sword of Chaos (Bastard Sword)
This sword has been passed along to many warriors. None have been able to hold on to for to long before they either meet death or drop the weapon in fear of its power. This weapon power comes from how it was forged. The forging of this weapon took over 1,000 years. Each 100 years the weapon was enchanted with an element and with each enchantment the weapon power grew. The last enchantment on this weapon cause previous enchantments to act randomly when in the hands of a warrior. Some of the enchantments are useful. Other can be deadly not only to those hit but also to the warrior wielding this weapon. And that is why this weapon is passed on from warrior to warrior.

Please keep posting them here, that way I'll have all item suggestions gathered in one place...

Actually, one of these already exists (sort of - I'm sure it's quite dead by now...)

http://www.sorcerers.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php?/topic/10/1757.html#000000

Just put it here as a point of reference, I suppose.

I know :)

Tal mentioned it earlier, and I'm going to use this as reference, might even re-introduce some of the weapons suggested.

Oh, and guys/girls! Feel free to call the item(s) "<user name>'s <insert name/weap type>"

I decided to see what was out there for weapons in the link and I have to say some of those weapons/items are way over powered, if not all of them. You might find one maybe two to use if this weapon pack is meant for balanced magical items.

Or, I could re-balance some of them ;)

The one thing I'd really like to see is an un-nerfed Armor spell. The only problem is getting the duration to depend on damage. Unfortunately, all I can think of off the top of my head is making the effect permanent, or I'd do it myself. :nolike:

Here are a few more items. I love Dink's Briefs. I don't believe I actually decided to release that special set of Chain Mail.....

Abel’s Glove of Arcane Magic
These gloves were once worn by a fierce and fiery mage known as Abel. His power was great and came from all sorts of magical items which he either created or stolen off some other power mage. Rumors told that these gloves were worn by Abel as he used all his magical energies and some how were granted magical properties not often heard off for simple looking garments. Abel love for magic eventually caught up with him and ended his life for his love often brought about evil and unthinkable fiend. And as the story goes he was slain by one he brought forth.

Bracers of Abdel
These Bracers were worn by a great Ranger Abdel who traveled the land in search of his father. These Bracers never came off Abdel and when in battle it seemed as if the bracers would absorb a portion if not all of the damage direct at him. As time passed Abdel grew old and no longer continued his search, seeing that chances of his father living was inevitable. Rumor has it that Abdel was buried with these Bracers and his decaying body still adorns them.

However one time the bands failed this warrior and upon being hit with flames he let loose a massive amount of fire oils which lead to his death.

Dagger of the Order of The Scorpion

This vile adamantine blade is rumored to be the legendary weapon of Shadow Scorpion, one of the grandmasters of the order of the Scorpion. Based in the Plane of Shadow, they were a ruthless guild of assassins said to be related to the legendary Dying Light. They used a special type of venom who was said to be the one of the Scorpion Lord, a minor deity the clan worshipped. The efficacity of this venom was shocking, paralyzing the victim, fearfully living his/her last moments. They would leave a small scorpion made of dark matter as their signature.

How did the weapon came to leave Shadow Scorpion's grip was never known... some say that internal conflicts between the grandmasters of the Order of the Scorpion and those of the Dying Light led to a bloody, decimating war between the two clans, while some other stories say that after the mysterious disappearence of the Scorpion Lord, the order was dissolved, and relics of the clan were casted into another plane... how did they found its way to the material plane remains a mystery.

@ Fireag
I won't make those! They're overpowered to the rediculous, and cannot make a Pelvise(or whatever those shoulder things are called in english).. reduces casting time by 5! Immunity to death spells! Ac improvement! :nuts:
sorry dude.

@ Goli
I'll altert the weight to the weight of a regular Bastard Sword (why would it be 2-h if it wight only 1?).
Yes, the dmg. is a little too much, I'll remove the vs. evil modifier.
Also added a 10str requirrement... Seems logical to me.

@ UCLAP

1) +1d6+4 (an additional 5-10) damage to all tall legged humanoid creatures (list below; no giant creatures)1d6+4 extra would be fine

2) 25% chance of causing knockdown on above creatures (1 round of "sleep" like effect); save at +3 for no effect; cannot be dispelled if possible..
3) 50% chance of causing slowness for 1 round (no save);Causing creatures to be "knocked down" in approximately 1/4th of all attacks and slowed in approximately ½ of all attacks seems a wee too much for me. Lets make it a 5% effect instead, or what (everyone feel free to comment on this one)?

cannot be dispelled if possibleIt is possible afair.

Crystal Sword +2

This sword is a truly gorgeous weapon, with an intricate hilt made of an unidentifiable silvery metal and a long blade made of pure, clear crystal. In spite of its delicate appearance, the crystal is very sharp and hard, and further seems to be slightly repellant to hostile magic. The shopkeeper is not sure of the weapon's history nor how it got to this country, but he assures you there will never be another sword like this. Of course, he does stand to make more money if you believe that.

Okay go these two built and ready to send. Its took me hours to get the arrows working right. I'll add stories and a name to the bow later.

The bow is here because BG2 has no longbows that require no ammo and the selection was a bit limited to a few easily obtained good ones.

The arrows are a bit of fun. just something i cooked up whilst making the bow. If they are included i would limit the number sold , much like the Arrows of Dispelling are. They will cost alot as well.

Criticsm welcome :p

Wild Surge arrows! I like! :cool:

Actually, if you have Weimer's Item Upgrade mod, you can upgrade the Heartseeker from Ribald's secret stash into "Teleomortis", a longbow that doesn't require ammunition. :)

Yeah, but have you seen its stats, its pointless. i like items that arent overpowered but have some worth. i suppose it was +4 enchantment. Mines a +3 because i'm hoping it will be usable for mid SoA.

i may have to tone down the Thac0 drain because an Archer with grandmastery in longbows and relativly high level could get it down to a -10 penalty (-20 if improved hasted or GWW!!!). And I don't know if the piercing damage should be there. It allows the proficiency bonuses and class bonusses to be taken into account. I suppose it still does less damage than most melee weapons so is balanced.


Glad you like the arrows. its quite funny turning Amnish guard into devas (their oppisite sex avatar). I might reduce the chance of petrify, stun, feeblemind, confuse, and slow to 2%, remove the web, and leave the other two at 5%. Then increase the piercing damage to 80% chance of 1d3.

What do you think?

Yeah, % chance THAC0 drain would be better, I think. And the piercing damage is fine - like you say, it still does less damage than most melee weapons. Feeblemind and confusion are dangerous ones, because they're script-breakers. Although, with a % chance that low, you'd probably be safe.

But you've done a good job; I always thought that an unlimited ammo longbow was a criminal omission from SoA. It's nice to see one that's not outrageously overpowered. :)

It sounds great Malovae :thumb:

Okay went back did some editing and this is my contribution if you want to use it. All items are made so i just have to email them and their descriptions. They all work, as far as i can tell from testing, as they should do.

If you want me to make some for you let me know which ones, it might save you some time :) i've got plenty of it.

Oh, and the stories arent great but I'm nbot much of a story teller. Feel free to flesh them out ;)

Longbow +3: ‘Long Road’

This bow, slightly worn looking though brimming with energy, gifted to a young warrior named Ezkiel Quareen. Legend says that the skilled archer travelled great distances looking for a bow that was able to damage powerful foes that could resist even magical arrows. His efforts were in vain however, as there was no such bow he could find. On his way he found many shortbows that fit his purposes, but he had trained with longbows all his life and was not going to begin to use weak weapons only fit for thieves. He was beginning to lose heart until one day he came upon a slightly unstable elven character. After much pointless dialogue over what the existence of Halflings had achieved, he finally mentions a possibility that he could help him in his quest. Curious as to how the elf could know of his quest, he resisted putting an arrow in his chest. Telling Ezkiel he would be back in 3 days, he set off with no word of why. Ezkiel, tired and fed up decided there was no harm in waiting to see if there was anything to come of his encounter. Three days later this longbow fell on his head from the sky. He never saw the elf again.

Amnish Roulette Arrows

These very rare arrows are believed to have been invented by war wizards in the employ of Amn several centuries ago. Amnish legionaries, presumably bored with normal interrogation method came up with an extraordinary game based on their favourite gambling pastime; roulette. Asking the war wizards for arrows that would have random effects on the targets was simple enough, coin, the only language many of the recruits spoke, was all was needed. The idea, the inventor proclaimed, would be for the hapless victims to shoot themselves with the new creations and to experience the humiliating or perhaps deadly consequences. Despite the great expense the legionnaires went too to play their morbid pastime, they soon lost interest as most often the result was a painful death from bleeding. The arrows were soon sold on throughout Amn to any who would have them at great profit to the legionnaires; but only after inserting a few into some cheating war wizards.

Malovae’s Defence Orb

This tiny swirling orb flies around the head of the user, defending from attacks and other dangers that doers of evil may throw at them. Despite this it also has some other useful abilities, including amplifying their telepathic ability and defending from evocation spells.

It is said to have been crafted by the great mage Malovae hundreds of years ago, but some modern scholars claim this to be myth, and that it’s true origin is Netheril. Despite this many still believe the ‘myth’, and continue with its namesake. Regardless of where it was made, this stone is a great asset for any mage who dabbles in adventuring.

STATISTICS:

Armour Class: +2
Saving Throws: +2

Special Abilities:-

Mind Wave:

The orb that floats around the user’s head also has a mental link with the caster. When the caster wishes, he or she may unleash a wave of telekinetic energy and may possibly stun their opponents.

Damage: 3d8+5 electrical damage

Surrounding enemies will be stunned for 1 round (save vs. spells at +2 to avoid effect)

Usable 3 times a day

Energy Barrier:

The orb may also protect the user from harmful energy attacks from the school of evocation. This lasts for 5 rounds and negates the effects of all spells from that school, including area of effect.

Usable once per day

Malovae’s motto:

“Some things are better left unsaid” - Target is silenced for 2 rounds (no save)

Usable once per day

Yeah, those arrows look really nice. I'd use them. :thumb:

I edited my sword's name to be just "Crystal Sword +2". You don't have to use it if you don't want, but if you do I think that sounds better than the way I had it before. :)

No one realy knows who forged this armor , but from the tales it is only know that the mother of Firag was the one that created it . No one know what the armor may give to his owner , but one it is know one put it on the body it can't be removed . When leaving for the border realms Firag left his armor in the Templar Hold . On the back side of the armor you can see the sign of HELM , on the other side you can see the sign of Black Dragon prepared to throw his breath to you . The Armor is black , with some red and white spots where the signs are .

Now that's cool. Might be worth lowering either the AC or the weight, though, otherwise people might not bother with it. After all, mundane Full Plate gives better AC, even if PFNW is very handy, enemies with normal weapons are rarely a threat anyway (unless you're a mage relying on PFMW). The really dangerous stuff will always have enchanted weaponry. Otherwise, I like the way you've worked the theme for the item. Immune to Heal is a nice touch - people might actually have to memorise some of the "lesser" healing spells, for once!

Yeah, that looks good. Its not very often that you get a cursed item worth using :)

Lower AC to the same as Full Plate +1 and the weight slightly as Magpie says and I would stick it on a cleric. Its quite easy to make as well.

As up to now I've got 26 plus some addtional item Malovae is at making.
I'm myself currently creating a moonblade, which requirres some effort since it should be only wearable by an elven PC :p
And, I want it to deal 10d10 lightning damage to the wearer and destroy itself if any Evil elven PC tries to use it ;)

olimikrig I will make a moonblade usable by only a y Eleven Ranger when I get to the long sword category. My last one I was one was cloaks. I still have a way to go.

HuH :confused: are you talking about actually making the item, or just describing what it will do? I have already made a moonblade, but if you think you can script it to be only wearable by the PC without using tons of loopholes then be my guest.

olimikrig I could write the text. My home PC has been on the fritz lately and I am in a dire need for an upgrade, running Windows ME. YUCk. Or else I would actually create the item.

Here are a few more weapons I wrote up. Let me know what you think. I love Dart of Death.

Jaheria’s Club of Good
Jaheria a warrior druid and a protector of the wood was often seen carrying this mighty club. After a while the club grew in power from the magical energies she cast to protect her friends and to attack their enemies when in battle. As Jaheria traveled with her companions she slowly started to see why fighting for the cause of good would benefit nature and neutral perceptive slowly changed. When her Jaheria traveling party was attack when resting out one night she missed placed her club for another and notice that she lost the power she once had when she yield this club and no longer felt as if fighting for the cause of good would benefit nature. In the battle her club was taken from a Hobgoblin who took flight due to how fast his comrades were falling. Jaheria took off after the Hobgoblin but lost him in the mist of the foggy night. Since that night Jaheria prefers to wield a scimitar or a quarterstaff due to the fact that she will never be able to hold a club like the old that was forged with magical energy in her hands.

Shank Metal Club of Stone Cracking (Cursed)
This club was the most prized possession of Shank, a dwarf cleric who went out and tried to rid his clan of the attacking Stone Giants. During his battle with the giants it is said when he hit them their bodies it would start to crack. His clan doubt it was Shank strength that would cause the giants bodies to crack, since Shank could not use armor due to how he could barely lift 50lbs. Shank clan believed the metal club Shank yield was tuned to Shank’s hatred of Stone Giants and his hatred fueled the club to crack and sometimes shatter the giants into tiny pieces. However due to Shanks lack of protection he fell one day to a band of stone and hill giants and that was the last anyone heard of Shank. However his club as been in the hands of many warriors and after wielding it for a day or two many drop the club due to how weak they feel after wielding it for such a short time.

[ September 26, 2005, 23:06: Message edited by: olimikrig ]

I'll make a suggestion. This'll be great I can't make up good names and I'm terrible at descriptions.

Dart of Healing

This is a strange dart made by a cleric whose name is unknown. The dart acts like a sling but it doesn't take any bullets and can't use bullets. This dart isn't made for killing but rather for healing. Not much else is known besides the fact it is a dart that doesn't inflict pain.

I hope that was a good suggestion.

Ooh, I've got an idea:

Rock of DUH!!

Similar to the type of rock that was flung at Neeber/Noober in his childhood, these stones unerringly seek out the skulls of their hapless victims. It is said that a single blow from one of these strange rocks can lower an IQ by up to 50 points!

STATISTICS:

Damage: 1d4+1
THAC0: -1
Special Abilities:
-1 INT (permanent) on hit
5% chance of Feeblemind
Damage type: missile (piercing)
Weight: 0
Launcher: sling

It's effectively a +1 rock (1d4 damage base, IIRC) with a -2 modifier for the called shot on the head. The Feeblemind isn't really necessary if you want to take it out. This would be a great thing to have when you meet up with Noober.

Noober: "Are you gonna throw rocks at me?"
PC: "Yes." *thwack!* :lol:

It'd be pretty sweet against low-INT enemies, too. A few hits and they're dead from stat-drain. :evil:

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Abdel, you Dagger o' Death is soooo much fun :shake:

kamikaze!

:shake:

Yup, it's even more insane than Westley's version of Eye-gouger that blinded the thrower, inevitably sending them wandering into the fray. :lol:

Still, it'd be lethal if you cast Death Ward on the thrower before unleashing it.

@ Fel: we could sneak in an AoLS reference and call it the Rock of Bush instead...

Still, it'd be lethal if you cast Death Ward on the thrower before unleashing itAh, but there got to be a cheezy way around everything, no? Okay, should I make it a save vs. something else instead ?

Nah, maybe just remove the save penalty: -10 is simply mental: Finger o' Death is only -2, after all. Maybe make it a bonus to save, like Chromatic Orb. :hmm:

Could do that, but then we'd also need to give a bonus to the opponents save. Also I think I'm going to make it a stacked item instead of returning. I don't think you should be able to use this as an alternative way of Ctrl+y a creature throughout the game, or :hmm:

olimikrig don't forget the character throwing the dart must save vs. death at -15 or die. That is why it is a cursed item. Maybe make it save vs. spell or breath weapon at -10 for the thrower and -5 for the target. Either way this dart purpose is to take the life of the thrower and not the target.

Now think of it this way. If this weapon returns to your hand and you have 3 attacks a round, that would require 3 saves within a round. Now at a -15 modifier for the thrower chances are they will die by the third throw. On the other hand the target has a greater chance of living at only a -10 modifier to their saving throw.

My next catergory is the daggers and so far this is what I have in mind.

Dagger of Paper Cutting....
I will write it up later on today and post it. I believe everyone on here will get a good laugh with this lethal dagger.

At -15 chance are that they'll die by the first throw ;) It would require them to have a pretty high saving throw to make it at -15 :p

Hmm... Maybe, just maybe I should make it an disintegrating death, destroying the caster and his items alike? What say you :hmm:

olimikrig,

As for the actual way the person dies disintegrating, death, etc... works. As long as the person has to save vs. something or die I could careless what spell is cast upon a failed save.

Here is one weapon that is over powered only if you repeatly have successful hits in a row on one target. Of course if you miss than hit, than miss, than hit the damage would be minimum in comparison. Though over powered if successful this weapon has no increase in Thaco but is considered a +2 weapon. Please let me know what you think of this weapon.

Paper Cutting Blade
This is not a weapon of choice. One usually wields this weapon when others are either broken in the heat of battle or removed from their possession. This weapon can be quite effective when the wielder takes their time and continuously hits their enemy with this thinly crafted blade. The blade when looked at appears to be as thick as the thinnest parchment ever seen in the realm. The weapon smith who created this blade took years of forging to provide the owner a weapon that had an ultra thin blade and stability in the blade not normally seen. The original owner of this weapon was a mad arch mage who enjoyed inflicting pain and torturing his enemies. This weapon was often seen slicing open a small harmless wound on the victim. Once the mad arch mage sliced the victim skin open, even though it appeared no wound occurred, the mad arch mage would squeeze lemon on the victim unseen wound. This of course often lead the mad arch mage victims into crazy frenzy as they endured numerous slices repeated by lemon juices penetrating a almost unnoticeable wound. After the 5th cut the victims of this blade would often seem unconscious from the pain the lemon juices provided. One such victim the mage tried this on was well protected against little weapons like this. This victim cast a spell that harden his skin and upon the 5th hit the victim was still awake. Surprise by this the mage start slashing and spraying. The victim survived around 30 or so strikes before the mage accidentally cut his prisoner free. Once the prisoner was free the mad mage life was ended by his only torturing blade and rightfully so.
STATISTICS:
Combat Ability:
Each successful hit the target will take additional 2 point of lemon juice damage. Each successful hit that is followed by another successful hit the damage would be doubled. Strength modifiers not included in the multiple successful hit damage calculations.
Example of how special ability works:

Round 2 miss no damage
Round 3 successful hit 1d2+2

:cool:

That's very nice Abdel. :thumb:

Could be very deadly in the hands of an extremely low THAC0 warrior... Or utterly useless. Just out of interest, how do you intend to handle dual-wielding? Will misses on the off-hand count too? Is it even possible to stack damage like this? :hmm:

Make this weapon 2-handed and the problem of the off hand would be solved. After all it was mad arch mage who wanted the weapon. I will edit my previous post.

ThiefI like the idea of a throwing hammer, since it is an excellent weapon for high strength fighters as long as the damage plusses for high strength apply to this when it is thrown, in the same way they do with the dwarven thrower. However the usefulness is largely ruined by only allowing dwarves to use it. I would allow non-dwarves to use it, no reason they shouldn't. I'd go further, and have this hammer made from wood with the head hardened until it is almost as tough as iron. Druids now have a good alternative weapon to sling bullets.

Now in the 'not usable by category' there are

ps. I would also raise the speed factor to something like 4, hammers are far too unwieldy to rate a 1.

Good idea :)

I like the idea of a throwing hammer, since it is an excellent weapon for high strength fightersThat's exactly my point. And the prob in BG to is that the only throwing hammer is the Dwarven tosser/thrower, which cannot be used by non-dwarves. Every party should have the chance of selecting throwing hammer!

Got three more done. Emailing them now. Just letting people know whats going in :)

Below is Western Paladin's updated sword. The description may change.

Crystal Clear +2

This sword is a truly gorgeous weapon, with an intricate hilt made of an unidentifiable silvery metal and a long blade made of pure, clear crystal that glows a light blue colour due to energy given off by the impossibly floating runes it contains. It once belonged to the famed Ilyana, a ranger from the East who fought against large infestations of undead across the land, taking special attention to the whereabouts of liches, her favoured enemy. A sorcerer made this weapon to be like her, delicate-looking yet deadly. It’s slightly lighter weight for a weapon of its size allows for noticeably quicker attacks, although it must still be noted that it is no short sword. In spite of its delicate appearance, the crystal is very sharp and hard, and when the wielder wishes, may reflect magical attacks just like deflecting sword blows from enemies. Ilyana vanished from the historical records about thirty years ago, and the shopkeeper is not quite sure how her sword got to this country.

Below if Firag's cursed armour. Not much info to go on but I have given it a somewhat logical name based on the story and fleshed the story out a bit because i didn't recognise some of the references.

Firag, if you have anything you want changing let me know, and i'll get on it :)

Mother’s Curse +1

Although no one really knows who forged this armour, the tales that surround this artefact claim that it was the mother of a famed hero named Firag, who created this cruelly useful full plate. The abilities the armour gives to its wearer, though mysterious, do come at a painful price. Once equipped, it cannot be removed from the body. This is mainly because the inside of the armour is covered with small spikes that dig into the wearer and eject small amounts of weak poison into them. Although unnoticeable, it does require a healthy person to endure such an effect. The poison also slightly discolours the wearer damaging their charisma.

Legend has it that when leaving for the border realms Firag left his armour in the Temple of Helm. This story is given some merit, for that on the back side of the armour you can see the sign of Helm, which indicates that it was probably gifted at some point to a servant of that deity. Modern scholars argue that the armour was crafted by an unknown craftsman within the service of Helm, but this is largely discredited by the fact that the symbol was obviously added later as a consequence of its extensive use throughout the Order. The armour has been used by many great adventurers over the years, including Theodora Manstapler, Igor ‘the merciless groundhog killer’ Smith, Dasios Noober and of course Firag. The great success of these adventurers speaks for itself and although cursed, this plate surely has more heroic days in it yet.

This one is mine, i hate the fact that there is only two pairs of boots in SoA worth using (Boots of speed and boots of Avoidance). the Speed ones usually win due to the faster travel. So here are ones which increase movement speed but don't put the stupid haste icon on....


Yugoll’s Boots of Escape

Yugoll was once a name that many authorities regarded as a dirty word. Understanding why this was requires an understanding of the mind of the policing forces of Faerun. The main thing to know is that they don’t like being outsmarted or evaded longer than a day or two. After a day the fun of the chase became the boredom of the search. Yugoll, a thief of some renown up in Waterdeep, was one of the most difficult targets of the Waterdeep authorities. Taking great pains to capture him alive, the guards were not allowed to use lethal force when they found him. Whole teams of war wizards were sent to stop him in his stride, but no matter what they threw at him he merely danced around as if nothing had happened. Before they knew it, he had clicked his heels together and miraculously became invisible; disappearing into the night.

So cocky was Yugoll, he began to operate during the day, in plain sight of guards and townspeople. This alarmed the most senior officials of the city, who feared such a blemish on their Guards reputation would lead to damaging repercussions in the trade sector. In response, they hired some of the best bounty hunters in the land to procure him. The woman that finally brought Yugoll to his knees was a veteran bounty hunter named Theresa Vargu. As cunning as well versed in her trade, she engineered a fake art show, where dozens of masterpieces were to be shown to the public for a small fee. It was not long before Yugoll struck, and Vargu was ready waiting. As soon as he appeared, ten guards jumped out and surrounded him, which led to several moments of hysterical laughter at the meagre attempt. Then something Yugoll was not expecting happened, Vargu threw a trap at him. Not expecting that the authorities would try to hurt him, he recoiled in terror. But when fired it did nothing. Then it slowly dawned on him as he saw the enclosing ethereal bars…. he was to be mazed.

By the time Yugoll was released from the magical prison, the guards had erected a miniature prison in the mock-art gallery. He was going no where. It was soon found that his extraordinary ability to avoid capture was due to the boots he had worn.

From that point on, over confident thieves were called ‘Yugolls’. He never saw his boots again.

I'll make a suggestion (i think i made one before but....)

Boots of Butt-Kicking for Goodness = :D

How do you kick a beholder in the butt? (For example.)

You don't kick a Beholder, the Beholder kicks you! ANyways You kick the Beholder at the bottom (which i suspect is its butt)

No, you kick it in the posterior (the back). It's like a backstab, but with a boot! :lol: For a beholder, it'd be like getting kicked in the back of the head.

You'd probably get "Boot ineffective"

Hmmm... How would one go about making the 'boots of idiot removal'? You can't even script an invis monster to summon, and deal extra dmg. to mobs with less intelligence than 10, as Intelligence, afaik, isn't in the IDS files.... Any suggestions :hmm:

I could maybe have the boots deal extra dam. vs. all mobs that has less than 10 int, but this would be somewhat restricted ( I would also have to deal extra dam. vs. named creature types with a higher int score, and the 25% chance +3 int when hit, wouldn't do jack damage-wise - i.e. I would still deal the 5 extra damage).

but beholder's still got to get rid of the "waste" where does it go? or rather where does it come out?

Beholders are abberations; where do you think all those magical rays come from? :shake: Probably they just metabolise it into their bodies.

Guys and girls alike.

Sorry to be a :geezer: , but I would prefer if you guys at least to some degree kept your replies on-topic...

what about a small beholder that could be used as a cannon and shoot beholder "rays"? sort of like jan jansen, it could be a crossbow like weapon, with special ammo

The originator of this thread would like to minimize the pure silliness in this thread and keep the conversation toward the topic of the Item Pack.

Please respect his wishes and avoid talking about anything other than desired items that are at least possible in BG2 in this thread.

I didn't quite read your reply thoroughly enough the first time. This hammer *is* wieldable by non-dwarves, which is the entire point about making it! Non-dwarves should rightfully have a throwing hammer they could use too...

When should we expect the mod to hit the streets? :cool:

Oli's lookin for a beta to be released sometimne next week, but that may change. PM him if you want to try it :)

Thanks for the update Olimikrig, and good to hear the hammer you envisage is usable by non-dwarves.

As for my bit about making the hammer wooden and allowing Druids to use it, I'm not even sure it is technically possible to do that. I don't know enough about what you can and cannot do in this area.

Gilden, it might be possible to make it "look" wodden, by changing item colours. This will however not be a top-priority by far, as we have more important things to look into first...
However I am planning on fiddling some with item colours when the mod has been fully tested and is gtg ;)

@Gilden:
You can make any item usable by any class or kit when creating or editing it, but the problem remains that you cannot give a druid the Warhammer proficiency without SK. So while a druid would be allowed to use the hammer, he couldn't be proficient. So a Druid using it would get the -3 THAC0 penalty, and an F/D would get -3 to THAC0, -2 to damage, and -1/2 atks/rd when compared to possible specialization. Likewise, the same stuff would happen with a mage, thief, or M/T...

:idea: Make it a quarterstaff! It could be classified as a one-handed quarterstaff (like the staff-mace), and so usable by all, but it could still have the throwing hammer look and abilities. :hmm: Or, you could have a specific Druid throwing hammer that gives them * in Warhammer while equipped. (I think that's possible.)

Or, you could have a specific Druid throwing hammer that gives them * in Warhammer while equipped. (I think that's possible.)I can only make the desciption icon, ground icon and incentory icon resemble a quaterstaff. The papaerdoll has to look like a war hamme, otherwise the game will crash if a make it a throwing hammer projectile :(

What could be done is to change the looks of the warhammer with photoshop, and then add an equipped effect to make the weapon look brown.

The photoshop part would requirre some work, so one could go for a club or some such instead.

I would also have to change the item description from that of an regular WH to something special (wodden WH aren't seen all that often ya know :p )

* in Warhammer while equipped.it is ;)

How 'bout, instead of the "Dwarven Thrower" hammer, you actually make the "Dwarf Thrower" (as refered to in one in one of th Dwarven Thrower item descriptions). It looks like a Dwarven Thrower, but when a dwarf tries to use it, they go flying instead (maybe it casts a wing buffet on the dwarf?). Don't know if there's a way to trigger this in IE...

Any thoughts about naming these items after BoM regulars? Would be especially funny if they were also inside jokes on SPers... Like the "paper thin knife" could be called "[SPer's] Razor of Paper-Thin Retorts", and could be credited to an SPer who's known for winning debates not through the strength of argument but from posting weaker arguments again and again until their opponent gives up in frustration... (Actually, more than one SPer likely fits that bill... :mommy: )

It looks like a Dwarven Thrower, but when a dwarf tries to use it, they go flying instead (maybe it casts a wing buffet on the dwarf?). Don't know if there's a way to trigger this in IE...This is do-able... all I need to do is to make an invisible creature with a script sayg each time someone uses the hammer, she will summon forth, make a check to see if it's a dwarf, and if it is instantly cast a wing buffet on the dwarf, and force him to throw the hammer :lol:

Any thoughts about naming these items after BoM regulars?Yeah, I'm sending the beta to tal tonight, but when the next v. goes out, there'll be major changes to item desciptions and such, with heavy reference to BoM user, and other BoM specific's...

This is, after all, the Boards of Magick Item pack :p

Some of the weapons already hold names of BoM regulars, but the background history on these item are still somewhat vague...

Okay, so far we've got 52 items done and ready for the beta (which I count on getting up some way or another - e.g. The pack would probably have to wait for an site update here on SP, so if I can upload it on an upload site instead, that would be preferable. This way I'll only have to send the doen 'n' ready pack to Tal)..

9 The Magpie’s Spear of Flight +3
10 The Magpie was an adventurer from the northern reaches of Faerun, so named for his habit of meticulously searching the battlefield for any sign of valuable items to be parted from their recently deceased owners. In combat, he was known for his exceptional displays of great cowardice, which he preferred to refer to as "hit-and-run tactics". This spear was commissioned by him, and bears his obvious hallmarks. It has been enchanted to ward against any spell that might restrict motion, whilst allowing the wielder to strike more quickly against a foe. Combined with the spear's naturally great reach, this allows a warrior to pick his battles with care. When holding this spear, however, one can't help but feel that one's place is not at the forefront of battle... and many of its wielders have sought to take flight at the most inopportune of moments.

13 Blade of the Crimson Cat +1
14 Crimson Cat was perhaps the weirdest Halfling ever lived. Not only was he a skilled warrior, but he also wielded this blade. Over three metres long as it is, one must wonder how it was possible for him to carry and, even more, wield it. Crimson Cat used the blade to fend of forces of evil, never stopping or straying from his path.
Then, one day, he just disappeared. The blade was found some days later from a small village. No one knows the truth about his disappearance, although many say that he went to challenge the Abyss itself.
Regardless of the truth, this blade still serves its purpose without pause. When its hilt is grasped, the blade will burst to a magical flame that burns evil fiercely. Also, it has an enchantment that enables the user to wield it, even thought it stays as heavy as ever.

21 Javelin
22 The origin of the javelin throw is usually attributed with the elves of the southern forest Kingdom Tethyr. The Javelin is constructed of three parts: the head, the shaft, and the grip. They are about the same length as a regular spear, but tend to be slimmer for an increased aerodynamic effect. Looking into the general aerodynamics of the javelin, it is clear that they are made for flying at shorter distances, which could indicate that they were first created as hunting tools primarily used in forest environments, where a short but precise flight was needed. The javelin is approximately 3 metres long. The fragile build of the Javelin disables melee attacks.

Looking into the general aerodynamics of the javelin, it is clear that they are made for flying at shorter distances, which could indicate that they were first created as hunting tools primarily used in forest environments, where a short but precise flight was needed. The javelin is approximately 3 metres long.

This particular Javelin has been enchanted with powerful magic.

33 Choice of Felinoid +2
34 Felinoid was a Tethyrian hero with an agility of the like not ever before seen on the face of Faerûn. None other than Elminster himself magically enchanted this renowned pilum for Felinoid. Elminster took a fragment of Felinoid's agility and placed it within the pilum itself, causing the wielder to cast it at greater speed.

49 Longbow +3 ‘Long Road’
50 This bow, slightly worn looking though brimming with energy, gifted to a young warrior named Ezkiel Quareen. Legend says that the skilled archer travelled great distances looking for a bow that was able to damage powerful foes that could resist even magical arrows. His efforts were in vain however, as there was no such bow he could find. On his way he found many shortbows that fit his purposes, but he had trained with longbows all his life and was not going to begin to use weak weapons only fit for thieves. He was beginning to lose heart until one day he came upon a slightly unstable elven character. After much pointless dialogue over what the existence of Halflings had achieved, he finally mentions a possibility that he could help him in his quest. Curious as to how the elf could know of his quest, he resisted putting an arrow in his chest. Telling Ezkiel he would be back in 3 days, he set off with no word of why. Ezkiel, tired and fed
