[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Sword of the High King[/FONT]


[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Once, a hundred thousand years ago, this blade was naught but fine steel, a kingly weapon to be sure, but not especially potent. Yet, over the centuries, the [/FONT][FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]millennia, [/FONT][FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Kallor has used it to slay T'lan Imass, K'chain Che'malle, Forkrul Assail...even Eleint. Quenched in the very blood of gods and dragons, it is now a weapon of immense power in Kallor's hands. [/FONT]


[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]The [/FONT][FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Sword of the High King [/FONT][FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]is a +10 Bastard Sword. It is considered a [/FONT][FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Bane [/FONT][FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]weapon against any opponent. It's base damage is increased to 3d10 due to the powerful alchemies invested in the blade. When wielding the sword two-handed, Kallor adds double his Strength modifier to damage rolls, instead of 1.5x, as usual. [/FONT]


[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Reaver in Chains[/FONT]


[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Kallor holds the position of Reaver in High House Chains, though he aspires to its very Throne.

Mok's swords darted upward, stabbed, cut, twisted, hooked, then withdrew with the hunter's massive head balanced on the tips...[/FONT]

[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Due to its massive size and weight, the sword's damage is increased to 8d6.

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]The Rope, Patron of Assassins, Assassin of High House Shadow[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]And a fifth figure was among the four Edur sorcerers now, grey-clad, gloved, faced hidden in a rough hood. In its hands, a rope that seemed to writhe with a life of its own. Cutter saw it snap out to strike a sorcerer in one eye, and when the rope whipped back out, a stream of blood and minced brains followed. The sorcerer's magic winked out and the Edur toppled over.[/FONT]


[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]The rope was too fast to follow, as its wielder moved among the three remaining mages, but in its twisting wake a head tumbled from shoulders, intestines spilled out from a gaping rip, and whatever felled the last sorcerer happened in a blur that left no obvious result, except that the Edur was dead before he hit the groud. [/FONT]


[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]There were shouts from the Edur warriors, and they converged on both sides.[/FONT]


[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]It was then that the screams began. The rope lashed out from Cotillion's right hand; a long-knife was in his left, seeming to do little but lick and touch everyone it came close to – but the result was devastating. The air was a mist of suspended blood around the patron god of assassins, and before Cutter even drew his fourth breath since the battle began, it was over, and around Cotillion there was naught but corpses.

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]The Rope[/FONT]


[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]This unassuming cord, in Cotillion's hands, becomes an instrument off surgical slaughter, capable of tearing a man's brain from his skull with a simple flick. It is a +10 weapon with a 10 ft. reach, though it may be used to strike targets 5 ft. away, and even used in a grapple. It has a base Critical Threat Range of 18-20/x2. It deals no base damage, instead dealing Cotillion's Sneak Attack damage on every attack. [/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Shadow Self x3[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Time Dilation[/FONT]


[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Azath Wanderer[/FONT]


[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Prior to his Ascendancy, Cotillion wandered the Houses of the Azath for decades, studying their esoteric secrets. This experience fundamentally changed him, made him more than human, granting him a +5 Inherent Bonus to all his ability scores.[/FONT]


[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Shadow Dance[/FONT]


[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Cotillion may Shadow Jump at will as a Standard Action (as per the Shadow Jump class feature), up to a maximum distance of 20 miles. Alternatively, he can [/FONT][FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]plane-shift [/FONT][FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]to Meanas as a Standard Action.[/FONT]


[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Sneak Attack[/FONT]


[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Cotillion always deals maximum damage with his Sneak Attack. Cotillion's Sneak Attack deals half Divine damage that overcomes an opponent's immunity to precision-based damage.[/FONT]

 

[Melanos]

Great work!

As I've read the entire series, up to Dust of Dreams (waiting for it to come in Mass paperback in Canada), I am so glad to see your builds. This series really takes epic to a whole other level, and is worthy of being so-designed.
For those unfamiliar with the series, take Black Company by Glen Cook, add the occasional splash of wit, a la Piers Anthony , and top it off with depth of characters rivaling the greatest epics, and you have this series.

 

[Belzamus]

Thanks for the kind words, Melanos.

I'll do some more eventually, I've been busy for the past few days. I think Cotillion came out the best, myself.

And I am so stoked for The Crippled God it's ridiculous. I can't wait, though I'm sure I'll be seriously depressed once I actually finish it. There's always the Kharkanas and Toblakai trilogies coming eventually, though.

I should really get the rest of the Black Compnay books. I completely forgot about them after I read the first one (which is awesome, as well).

The wielder adds their Wisdom modifier as a Competence Bonus to Armor Class, Attack Rolls, and Damage Rolls while wielding the weapon. In addition, with the sword in hand, the wielder gains additional Hit Points equal to their Wisdom Modifier times their Hit Dice.[/FONT]

 

[Rikandur Azebol]

Meh, I still don't like it when author stopped the catfight between Icarum and Karsa.

By the way, I very much like Your Karsa Orlong Belzamus ! My favorite character of the whole series.

I do like this guy's attitude.

 

[Belzamus]

Heh, it only would have destroyed the entire world.

Karsa's awesome though, and a lot deeper than he looks on the surface. Hardly the ignorant barbarian he comes off as.

I tried to capture the "taking names left and right" aspect of his personality in his stats. I think it came across rather well.

And, I can't believe I missed the opportunity to make his quote:

Witness.

What was I thinking...?
