Star Sword

From House of Khilat

This blade is long and broad, with a shiny polished steel blade that has five dark metal five pointed stars along the length. The cross bar and pommel have huge blue 5-point star sapphires. The cross bar has the Star Oath inscribed in white glowing characters on both sides reading – “By all of the stars both high and low, I swear to protect the Valley, Tower and Star of the Mage!” Scraping anything along the blade will produce arcs of tesla coil like static electricity.

Powers

Two handed Sword +4

The sword can generate the following effects:

  • Dancing Lights once per hour – creates 1-4 spheres of light equivalent to torchlight that last 24 rounds. The lights will move along set paths as desired without requiring concentration to maintain.
  • Ball Lightning (once per day) 5 balls for 2d4 damage each, all 5 at once or one per round over a period of 5 turns. These glowing globes resemble dancing lights, and the ring wearer controls them as he would control dancing lights. These spheres have a 120-foot range and a four round duration. They can be moved at 120 feet per round. Each sphere is about 3 feet in diameter, and any creature it touches or approaches within 5 feet dissipates its charge.
  • Shooting Stars (five per week) for 3d8 damage each, half damage on save. The shooting stars are glowing missiles with fiery trails which burst to cover a 10 foot diameter. Range is 70 feet, at the end of which the burst will occur, unless an object or creature is struck before that. The shooting stars follow a straight line path.

Keravnos has enhanced the blade forged from a living star with the essence of a 12 HD Quasi-Elemental of Lightning, tempered with a sliver of the soul of the Knight of Stars. The blade has intelligence of 16 and ego of 19 with an alignment of Neutral Good. The blade can only be handled by the Knight of Stars or creatures immune to electricity. The blade will require the wielder to defend the following in order of preference: the Mage’s Star, the Mage’s Tower, the Mage of the Valley and the Knight of the Stars.

In battle the sword will crackle and shed 6 inch arcs of electricity along the length of its blade. Hits will deliver an additional 1-8 points of electrical damage. For the purpose of hitting to deliver the electrical damage, metallic armor is disregarded.
