Teuvel'Khilat / Shadow Blade

From House of Khilat

Powers

Shadow Blade

When activated, the sword sheds shadowy wisps like smoke. The blade can turn translucent grey and completely invisible in the shadows or darkness.

Each owner enhances the effectiveness of this power.

Energy Drain

On a successful hit with a natural roll of 20, the sword will drain 1 level or hit die from its opponent. Magic protection against energy drain is effective to stop this attack. When an opponent is reduced to 0 hit dice or level, he will lapse into a coma. This reduction, including coma, lasts for a variable number of rounds enhanced with each wielder as indicated below.

The power also drains life from creatures sustained by the negative plane, drawing the negative energy out of the opponent and into the sword in the same fashion. In such cases, tendrils of shadow may be seen flowing from the opponent into the blade.

Combat Bonus

The sword grants the indicated bonus to hit and damage. Multiple bonuses can be applied based on characteristics, group and type; but only one bonus for a broad group and one bonus for a specific type can apply. The highest bonus for a group or type is applied.

Critical Hits and Special Powers

Bane bonuses include special powers applied when a critical hit is made. The power associated with the most specific category is used, selecting the special power associated with the specific type of creature, followed by the group if a specific type doesn’t apply, and finally using any power associated with the highest applied bonus from a broad characteristic.

The special power is selected from an existing critical hit power of the sword, or a new special power added specifically for that bane opponent. Existing critical hit powers take effect, even if that sword power is not currently active.

Every time a particular bane is enhanced, the existing critical hit power can be increased, or changed to a new critical hit power of the blade, or a new special power added.
