Magic Items of War
Well Met Travelers,
Recently, I have spent a lot of time in the world of J.R.R. Tolkien both through the release of the new Shadows of War video game, and the arrival of my Adventures in Middle Earth books for 5th Edition D&D from Cubicle 7. As such, I have spent a lot of time thinking about how to transfer some of the magic items I have seen into one of my favorite RPGs, Open Legend RPG.
Now, so that these items fit more perfectly into any campaign setting, I am going to rename them, but I will put the original name in parentheses beside it.
Elf Light (light of Galadriel)
Legendary Item
This Small stone is no larger than a dime, but it is perhaps one of the most powerful relics crafted by ancient elves during the age of magic. When held in the hand, it can be used to throw small darts of light, or a massive dome-shaped barrier can be invoked for protection.
Properties: Creation 5, Barrier 7 (special), Persistent (Barrier)
Special: Barrier can only be invoked as damaging, mobile, and impassable.
Ring of Dominion (Talion's Ring)
Legendary Item
This silver ring is inlaid with glowing blue elven runes. These runes speak of turning darkness against itself.
Properties: Charmed 6 (Special), Mind Dredge 9, Life Drain, Truesight 5
Special: The Creature charmed by this ring gets one save against the charmed bane, and if it fails, it is charmed permanently.
Ring of Dark Dominion (Isildur's Ring)
Legendary Item
This black ring has a bright orange stone set into its face. This ring was forged by Vadhumal, lord of demons, during the age of dawn to allow his mortal servants control over other weak minded mortals.
Properties: Charmed 6(special), Mind Dredge 9, Life Drain, Truesight 5, Animate 8, Autonomous (Animate, When the wearer dies, Special), Summon Creature 9
Special: The Creature charmed by this ring gets one save against the charmed bane, and if it fails, it is charmed permanently. When the wearer is reanimated by the ring, it is permanently charmed by the Demon Lord.
Elf Blade (Sting)
Wealth Level: 3
This weapon was crafted by elven smiths with rare elven magic to alert the wielder of the presence of a specific type of enemy. This ability can be combined with other weapons.
Properties: Weapon (any), Autonomous (Light, Special), Light
Special: When any creature type dictated by the smiths when the weapon was crafted enters the area, the blade invokes the light boon.
I think that is all for this time. If you enjoyed, click the follow button in the sidebar.
Until Next Time,
Farewell and Safe Journeys, Travellers.
