Ok! A preview of Pencil Pusher Publishings biggrin.gif first product 13 Reenvisioned Monsters ph34r.gif is up on the mabinogin forums (you know the guy who hosts this forum). Since a few people were interested in conversions of these creatures, I thought I would start with the preveiw.

Ebonrule (varient animated object, CR 5)

Suggested changes for the Wheel of Time Rpg are as follows

Creature type: Shadowspawn sub type shapeshifter.

Special Qualites: Ego becomes Despair. Increase the objects hardness to infinity.

DESCRIPTION:
"As the seals holding the Dark On'es prision weaken," she said after a time, "it may be inevitable that a ... miasma... will escape even while he is still held. Like bubbles rising from the things rotting at the bottomof a pond. But these bubbles will drift through the Pattern until they attach to a thread and burst..." an unknown Aes Sedai of the Blue Ajah speaking to the Dragon Reborn.

Ebonrule is a miasma that took the form of powerwrought sword from the age of legends. It loses both the bane and kaldain steel quality.

Powerwrought (Ex). Ebonrule has hardness/infinity as it cannot be broken by any means known. effects that ignore hardness (such as balefire) can still destory ebonrule.

Despair (Su): At the mere sight of ebonrule, the viewer must succeed on a DC 13 Will save or be paralyzed with fear for 1d4 rounds. Whether or not the save is successful, that creature cannot be affected again by the ebonrule’s despair ability for 24 hours. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Comments about the item should appear in the main thread (That means you Sharn) tongue.gif

I do have a question. why grant it the Despair ability in Wheel of Time? Is it because there is no Doom spell?

I think it is because there is no Ego (intelligent items) in Wheel of Time. And I believe the changes in Hardness to infinity is a heartstone thing.

Thank you Magus, I appreciate the compliment

The despair issue was to deal with no ego. Though there is no doom effect per say mechanicly it works like the counter warping of Ta'vereen that occurs around a bubble of evil, plus I forgot about converting it. Anyone have any suggestions for the doom ability.

no not heartstone, its is a powerwrought sword like tam al'thor's or the Malkier blade or Laman Damodred's Sword. If it had been hearstone I also would have given it weave resistance infinity.

Why not make ego somekind of madness or taint, and let despair replace doom.

Everyday the wielder must make a will save or take a point of madness. Madness works normally or you could use the alternate madness system by TRW.

Why not the taint of madness

well the idea is cool and might be fun as an alternate system, but there is no eveidence that the bubbles of evil work this way. I don't know about what rand did but if you look at everyone else there is a level of fear or despair when these things occour. Perhaps Fightful precence would have been better but I wanted to keep something close to the coup de grace mechanic provided so a paralyzing kind of fear works better.

I would love to change it but you would have to sell me on an example of people being tainted by the bubbles of evil.
