[QUOTE="Mathalus, post: 5422491, member: 6667665"] I like it. Then we know each other from elsewhere. Was it my idea to go to the Keep on the Borderlands? I need to get antecedents from somewhere and monsters are a good source. Do you want to come along to keep me out of trouble? Are you worried about me in general? What makes your character, who is this awesome elf, hang out with a young impulsive guy like me? I made up this bit of backstory and sort of created this Quicksilver cloak, but we don't have to use it. From the Enchanting rules The item can be cursed. A curse makes the item so desirable that it destroys the relationships of those who use it. A cursed item is coveted by its owner, who believes it to be mighty and powerful. If the player wishes his character to give up the item, a Will test is required. The obstacle is equal to the Enchanting obstacle. If, during the course of play, another character offers to purchase or trade for the item and is rebuffed by the owner, he too is cursed! He gains the benefit of the Enmity Clause when dealing with the bearer of the cursed item. Cursed items always cause a Greed test in Dwarves. Quicksilver Cloak Cursed silver that pulls like the void This shimmering cloak flows like a river of silver. It is actually made of extremely tiny steel scales held together with binding magicks. Attacks seem to slide off of it, although if damaged it becomes torn. It then must be mended like armor (with +1 Ob). 14 gray shaded dice used to enchant the item. (Pretend we only made 9 successes). • Specially created vessel +1D (maybe Voidrazor has smithcraft?) • Ferrantos helping, Enchanting exponent B5, +2D • Master Vide Enchanting exponent B6, +6D (Epiphany shaded to Gray) • Crazy Ritual to activate (Must left out in the light of the halfmoon for one hour) +2D • Internal Duration, Specific Physical condition (lasts until taken off) +2D • Target, item itself +1D Obstacle 10 difficulty to enchant. • Rechargeable +1Ob • Gray-Shade Chain armor +3 Ob per location, (Arms, legs, torso) +9Ob 9 successes against an obstacle of 10 would normally mean failure, but instead the item ended up cursed. Both Master Vide and Ferrantos failed their Obstacle 10 Will rolls. There was a fight over who should wear it and (The Elven Ranger) broke it up, but not before Ferrantos lost his eye. Master Vide won and now never takes off the cloak, even to sleep. Ferrantos attempted to enlist the aid of Master Vide’s daughter, Vela, in stealing the cloak, but she could see that it was driving them both mad. Infuriated and driven mad by lust for the cloak, Ferrantos stabbed Vela. He and (The Elven Ranger) left immediately. Anyway, if this is too dark or you just don't think it's fun let me know. [/QUOTE]
