one of the things that pissed me off about the PotD
is that your heroes get to watch the ashaman use the Whirling blades of
death but they don't have the weave itself listed my wilder wanted to
learn it but my DM was like nope sorry buddy your out of
luck. So I made it myself and here it is Whirling Blades of Air Duration: concentration cannot be tied off This weaves creates fast spinning blades of air that will dismember any that try to pass them Any entering the area occupied by the WBoA or are currently in the area must make a reflex saving throw to avoid the possibility of dismemberment a successful save halves damage. Improved evasion further halfs the damage and lessens the fail table by 1 Step -2 if they are running -5 if they are charging -5 if the area they entered from is already occupied by others -10 if they cannot exit the space (ie harden air etc.) Reflex save Succeeds Half Damage Fails by 01-05 Normal damage Fails by 06-10 Double Damage (loss of hand or foot) Fails by 11-15 Triple Damage (loss of limb at elbow or knee) Fails by 16-20 Quadruple Damage (loss of whole leg or arm) Critical Failure Quintuple Damage (loss of multiple limbs DM’s Choice) Cast...Dmg....Size............Area 5........2d6.....Small..........5 square feet 6........2d6.....Medium.......10 square feet 7........2d6.....large...........20 square feet 8........2d6.....Huge...........40 square feet 9........2d6.....Gargantuan..80 square feet +1 casting cost damage inreases by d6 6d6 max *note* The blades are spinning so rapidly they can hit as tough they were +3 power wrought blades however weave resistance will negate the damage but not the weave itself This post has been edited by Niveus on Sep 16 2004, 07:28 PM -------------------- ![]() |

One thing, I am worried it might be a little bit to
powerful. (With all those minuses it is really easy to fail a reflex save
and get dismembered) Another thing, could you make the area into increments of 5'? I am sure it will make your DM happier, whether he uses pencil and paper or minitures. Like 6----5 square feet 7---10 " " 8---20 " " 9---40 " " 10--100 " " |

yeah, I have to say that I'm not a fan of instant
death. That's just not fair. yeah, its really cool when you use it on
other people, but not so cool if you're a character and somebody uses it
on you. Especially in a world where you can only be resurrected by the
D.O. And I dont allow my players to use a weave that I wont use on
them. Why not take out the instant death and change those to other types of damage. Dont know what, but it could work. probably. ![]() -------------------- Legends of Darkness Are Not Always Myths - An Ongoing

well...there is some small precident for instant
death in the WoT universe... E.G. overchanneling and failing horribly but
lets look at the percentile... its VERY hard to screw up that much. |

I have read and reread the dumanai wells chapters
again and again and i toned it down besides this is a stationary weave
only useful if you are being charged at you cant move it around.
yes it is very powerful but only if a target decides to run at you -------------------- ![]() |

yeah, look at the dnd revision. Most of the
insta-kill spells were toned down. Hell, disentegrate now just does a flat
2d8 per caster level. lotsa damage, but still a chance to survive. In WoT,
the only instances of insta-death that there should be involves exploding
due to a massively failed overchannel, doing a final casting (you know,
channel all the One Power you can into one final weave, like what happened
in Manetheren and its Queen), or Balefire. just make it do quite a bit of damage per round within the blades. remember, rounds last onyl 6 seconds. -------------------- Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand this rant's

I removed the instant death I also removed the cut in
half thing leaving whole limb removal nasty but surviveable I lowered the
penalties so the maximum you can have as a penalty is -10 -5 for charging and -5 for being unable to move backwards (ie wall of air) -------------------- ![]() |

*Thinks* You know, I'd just make it do an area
damage, and leave it at that. KISS, you know? I would say they would loose
a limb on a natural 1 on the saving through, just like you loose limbs on
a second natural crit (ie, with a 20-crit weapon, you roll a 20, then roll
a 20 on the crit confirmation). You don't see any modifiers for someone
running into a fireball, do you? -------------------- Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand this rant's

hhmmm what if i change it around so the loss of limbs
depends on how badly the refles save was failed see edited post -------------------- ![]() |
