[QUOTE="Kobold Avenger, post: 9200823, member: 779"] [B]Karach[/B] Karach is a material based on Chaos-Stuff that comes from Limbo, it's a metal-like substance that is neither truly solid or liquid that can be shaped by the will of one attuned to it, Karach does tend to shift it's shape and form slightly and it does change colours (though with a metallic sheen) from time to time, sometimes based on emotions. Unlike pure Chaos-Stuff, Karach can exist outside of Limbo. Only the Anarch's Guild knows how to create Karach, and it's a closely guarded secret. Thus the Anarch's Guild controls where and who gets to use Karach. Zerths are the ones who most commonly are gifted with weapons made of Karach, as a Zerth who proven that they know oneself are given a Karach weapon in ritual attended by those in the Zerth Order and the Anarch's Guild. Some Githzerai Warlocks, such as those who've taken up the pact of the blade do wield Karach weapons, but it is extracted from their own souls. Similarly enough some Soulknife Rogues are infused with Karach in their blood. Unrefined Karach does find it uses in the hands of Githzerai Artificers, who sometimes incorporate the material with their creations. Most Githzerai rarely use firearms because blackpowder is quite unreliable in Limbo, but some Rrakma Hunters do use such weapons on the Material Plane as the loud noises of firearms are quite intimidating to the Grimlock Thralls in the service of Illithids. Githzerai Artificers have made a form of Volatile Karach that serves as a costly replacement for blackpowder that works in Limbo, the Elemental Planes and other planes. A typical pure Karach weapon has the following: [I]Rare Magic Item, requires attunement[/I] This weapon grants a +1 bonus to hit and damage, and does an additional 1d6 psychic damage on a hit. During a short or long rest, the wielder can shape a Karach weapon into any weapon they're proficient in. Some Karach weapons have even greater capabilities, but these are only given to those who've reached the highest ranks among the Zerth Order. [/QUOTE]
