Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kaodi" data-source="post: 2435549" data-attributes="member: 1231">Well, well...This just gave me an interesting notion for a special item that many such dwarven families or clans might possess.Bloodweapon: The most treasured family heirloom of any mithral dwarf is a weapon, often a battle axe or warhammer, that has been forged from the blood of every dwarf to wield it, and reforged every time it passes from one generation to the next. While not super powerful, the worth of one of these weapons to its proper family or clan is beyond measure. With the exception of very young weapons, all bloodweapons have a +1 enhancement bonus, and older ones usually have another low level property, such as keen, thundering, ghost touch, etc. The greatest honour that can be bestowed by a mithral dwarf family or clan is for the blood of an outsider to be added to their bloodweapon, and the greatest shame is for a  members blood to be withheld from the forging. Supposedely there is even a ritual for withdrawing the blood of a dishonoured dwarf from a bloodweapon, but tradition and law dictate that it can only be performed by the highest ranking priest or priestess of their deity available, and thus usually only the most dire betrayals are met with this punishment.</blockquote>
