Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dark Jezter" data-source="post: 1176930" data-attributes="member: 1015">Greetings.  Just a quick warning, this thread will contain spoilers concerning the R.A. Salvatore novel Servant of the Shard.  So if you haven't read it yet and don't with to have parts of it spoiled for you, you might want to hit the back button on your browser.Spoiler space.....Okay, in Servant of the Shard, Artemis Entreri gains posession of an extremely powerful sentient sword named Charon's Claw.  This blade is one of the most sought-after items in Calimport, and everybody wants it because of it's notable powers.Although it's been several months since I read the book and it's not fresh in my memory anymore, here's what I can remember about the blade...<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">  A special glove needs to be worn if you're going to pick up the sword.  Otherwise, merely touching the weapon will kill you.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> The blade or the glove shields the weilder from psionics.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> The blade can put up a "wall of ash" in battle.  I'm guessing that this would give cover to the weilder (20% miss chance)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"> The blade is sentient, and can resist it's weilder unless the weilder asserts his dominance (as Entreri did).</li> </ul>Now, for people who have recently read the book or read it multiple times, how would you stat this sword?  I'm guessing it would be considered a minor artifact due to its unique nature and special powers.P.S.  You don't need to remind me of the spoiler tags option.  Since this thread will basically be centered around spoilers, I chose a warning rather than putting my entire post in spoiler tags.</blockquote>
