Item: the glove of Darth Vader
Sith Artifact
Any Force-user in the vicinity of the glove must make a Will save DC 16 + their Dark Side Points to avoid succumbing to the glove's temptation. If they fail, they are compelled to put the glove on. Once they do so, they gain 10 DSPs as well as 5 ranks in each of the following skills: Illusion, Force Grip, Dissipate Energy, Force Strike, Fear, Force Lightning (yeah, I know Vader didn't have it, but it's just cool!)

What is need are rules for someone breaking free of the glove... any ideas, comments, or suggestions?

First off, personally, I wouldn't build this artifact... Vader's suit was supposedly burned with his body on Endor, remember?

But if you do, I'd change the abilities around a bit...

First, no more than one automatic DSP. 10 is an awful lot of DSPs, and using any of the Glove's abilities will rack them up quickly enough.

Next, I'd make the special abilities something like... All Dark Side Force Skills permantently become class skills, if they aren't already. As long as the character wears the glove, he gains the following Feats regardless of pre-requisites: Frightful Presence, Infamy, Malevolent, Rage and Skill Emphasis all four Dark Side Force Skills.

Don't forget that all four Dark Side Skills can be used untrained.

Breaking free of the glove should be similar to putting it on, but maybe a little more difficult. How about... DC20 + DSPs, and the sheer Force of Will require3d to remove the glove automatically negates one Force Point.

Yeah, Jack, but the hand Luke cut off was lost. Who knows if the thing didn't end up on Endor or some other nearby planet after the Death Star exploded?

Lucas?

Actually,

Anyone remember the old WEG SW Adventure about the space junk that was originally part of the original Death Star?

One of the plots/encounters was with a room in a large chink that supposedly was part of Vaders Qtrs on the DS. In it was a spare helmet, cape and a lightsabre belonging to Obi-Wan. Who know what else might have been there.........
