05-14-06, 04:22 PM VithMikHar--- originally +1 Studded Leather Srmor of Silent Movement, this unique suit has undergone a tremendous transformation. The Barbarian who wore it was the first of his tribe to travel outside of the Shaar, far to the southern end of Faerun. He put together a party of adventurers who quested all over southern Faerun and breifly into the region known as "The Unapproachable East". Toward the latter end of his adventuring, cave diving in the Underdark near The Great Rift (lost, more accurately) the group found themselves in the lair of a Black Dragon. The Battle was feirce and costly, one of the casualties was a the parties bard, a half-elf named Vilduil, in a cave-in that killed the dragon as well. The barbarian mourned the loss of his good friend, and took only select scales in order to fashion a suit of armor from the hide of the wyrm in honor of his friend. Upon their return to Hammer and Anvil (the trading town above the Great Rift), he commisioned a brilliant Dwarven blacksmith to assist him in augmenting his present armor into the suit with the following properties:

+3 studded leather black dragon scale (medium armor)
Spell Resistance 14
Damage Reduction 6/acid
Fortitude +2
Move Silently +10

In honor of his companion's demise, the suit was named "VithMikHar" meaning "A price too high".

better?

05-14-06, 06:27 PM Vitherto- Vitherto is a suit of +5 Command Daylight Full Plate armor. It can only be worn by good-aligned characters (LG, NG, & CG). Any neutral character (LN, N, & CN) immediately gains two negative levels upon donning Vitherto. Any evil character (LE, NE, & CE) immediately gains four negative levels upon donning Vitherto. These negative levels cannot be overcome by any means, including a restoration spell. Vitherto also grants the wearer the following effects:
- Detect Evil at will
- Cure Serious Wounds 4/day
- Holy Aura 3/day
- True Resurrection 1/month (it resurrects the wearer of Vitherto)
Vitherto was crafted by Zaktor the Forger as a gift to Ninnesk the Invulnerable. Ninnesk wore it on his campaign against the Demon armies of Agrall Steel-Eye, a Fiendish Iron Golem turned sentient by a crazed archmage.

Darkxarth
05-14-06, 07:41 PM Interesting, Ultima Mutation, eh? Creepy, glad you're not in this competition, too. :P

Anyway, I love both of these threads, they are great inspiration for my adventures and campaigns.
buddy4031
05-14-06, 07:46 PM why thank you, i'm thinking about making a 1001 spells of awsomness and 1001 feats of awsomness. maybe.
Darkxarth
05-14-06, 07:49 PM Custom spells and feats aren't my forte, so I'd probably have to pass on those two, but I know lots of people would enjoy them.

Darkxarth
05-16-06, 04:48 PM I don't know about everyone else, but I'm just not good at making up magical armor. That's why Vitherto will probably be my only entry into this category. I'm still posting in the Weapons and Magic Items threads, though.

05-19-06, 09:43 PM The Armor that will Hopefully Win by Default

There's nothing special about this fullplate, except for the engraving 'w00t' on the right pinkie.

I will be so stunned if this wins. :D
Darkxarth
05-20-06, 02:02 PM Just to let you know, I'm only posting this to beat Bob.

Armor of the Leaf
This +4 Mithral Scale Mail armor is designed to look like it is made of giant leaves. It is colored so that in forest terrain, it grants a +10 cicumstance bonus to Hide checks. Also, it grants use of Plant Growth 3/day, and Entangle 5/day. It is often worn by Elven Rangers doing forest patrols, and, in fact, the first Elf who created it, was a Druid/Ranger.

05-26-06, 11:57 AM Shield of putrescence:
+2 Large Darkwood Shield
This shield has an engraving of a screaming decaying face that on command will issue from all facial orifices a pungent black sludge that fills squares in a 15 foot cone infront of the wielder. This sludge acts as a Grease spell of 7th caster level and begins to dissolve organic matter on contact (Leather, cloth, flesh, wood) The sludge is extremely flamable and lasts for 5 rounds before it oxidizes and become inert.

(maws priced as three dancing weapons) 42 * 2,000 * 3 96,000
(legs as eight dancing wounding weapons) 62 * 2,000 * 8 576,000
(claws worth similar to +2 weapons) 22 * 2,000 * 2 16,000
(speed as improved expeditious retreat) 1 * 1 * 2,000 * 2 * 1.5 (ad-hoc) * 2 (slotless) 12,000
(size increase similar to righteous might) 5 * 9 * 2,000 * 2 * 2 (slotless) 360,000
(resistances similar to five energy resistances) 5 * 18,000 90,000

Magic Total: 4,488,000 gp

This is the price of your item as calculated by the book. I'm not even doing the energy beam, because there are no attacks in the entire game that drain XP except for negative levels, and these allow a save.
