[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 467633, member: 2012"] [b]The Malecadi[/b] Imagine if you will, this insanely powerful intelligent weapon, which I originally designed as an Artifact for 2nd Edition, called The Malecadi. The concept is that the sword has four edges instead of just two, with the secondary set of edges being set at a 90 degree angle to the primary set of edges. It would be the same size as a bastard sword, had a +5 bonus and was a holy avenger (w/ continual light and undead slayer attributes). It had a intelligence of 18, lawful good alignment, an ego of 20 and a personality score of 38 for 2nd Edition. In third edition, its albilities would be as follows: [b]The Malecadi[/b] +5 holy lawful disruption four-bladed bastard sword (1d12 damage instead of 1d10) Int: 29 Wis: 10 Cha: 14 Communication: Speech, telepathy, can read all languages as well as [i]Read Magic[/i]. Alignment: Lawful good Primary Abilities: [i]Cure Light Wounds[/i] (2d8+1) on wielder 2/day, [i]Detect Magic[/i] at will, wielder has fee use of Improved Initiative, [i]Locate Object[/i] in a 120-ft. radius. Extraordinary Powers: [i]Heal[/i], [i]Cat's Grace[/i]. Special Purpose: Defeat/slay powerful chaotic evil beings. Special Purpose Power: [i]Disintegrate[/i] Ego: 38 The Malecadi would be described as plain if it weren't for its unique four-bladed design, at least when it comes to magical weapons of similar power. The weapon has a large ruby built into the hilt, which is ulitarian in its design. The four blades of the sword are roughly 2 and a half inches in diameter from the central, rounded core of the weapon, which is an inch thick. Each blade has a single rune etched in it. Three of these runes are the race names of the three First Peoples to inhabit the world of Rielun: the tigé, the trooda, and the teres. The fourth rune is the name of the weapon. Strangely enough, the weapon is perfectly balanced despite its odd design. The weapon lives to hunt and slay chaotic evil opponents, especially the undead. When unsheathed, the weapon glows a pale blue in color, which flashes to crimson when brought within 25 feet of chaotic evil beings. Malecadi is a plurialization of the name of the main continent of the world of Rielun, Malecade. Malecade means 'homeland' in the language of the tigé. Thus, Malecadi probably refers to the homelands of the three First Peoples, called the Wildlands. And indeed the sword seems to be drawn to the continent of Malecade and the Wildlands, in particular. Why? Who knows and the weapon won't say. It never discusses its past with anyone and believes that it was created long before anyone ever lived on Rielun. If one of the three First Peoples of the world created the weapon it isn't recorded in their collective histories. Most believe that the weapon was created by Jaua Ae-rielun, the God through Time worshipped across the world of Rielun. [/QUOTE]
