Boots of Evasion
________________
The wearer of these magical boots cannot be tracked in any normal way.
No prints or scent is left.
Talons of Madeech
_________________
The Talons appear as a pair of war gauntlets, leather overlaid with
steel bands. A command word reveals the Talons' magic, however, as
four razor-sharp claws shoot from the backs and project 3" beyond the
closed fist. When used in hand-to-hand combat, damage will be an
additional 2-7 points for each hit. A similar command retracts the
Talons.
Key of the Mind
_______________
The Key is a small stone of oddly-shaped angles and projections. It
is of ancient design and is highly desired by psionicists. Possession
of the Key on one's person will _double_ the possessor's psionic attack
and defense strengths. However, any psionically aware creature can sense
the Key if it comes within half a mile of them. In addition, in each
psionic combat where the Key is utilized there is a 3% chance per point
of Intelligence less than 18 that the Key will "overload" the possessor's
mind, driving them into a coma for 1-4 days and wiping all psionic
abilities for 1-8 additional days (75%) or permanently (25%) after
awakening.
God's Edges
___________
When the DevilWars of ancient Therakesh brought many dark and evil
years to those lands, there was one champion of good who led the
vanguard against wickedness: the Paladin Dyrm. Lord Dyrm was ordained
by the God of Therakesh, and given a sword of such vast power that
darkness could never stand against it. To be sure, Dyrm used this
blade, called God's Edges, to such effect that Therakesh was purged
within 5 years.
Now God's Edges resides in the State Capital's Cathedral, placed there
by Lord Dyrm after the DevilWars. The protection of the Priests of
God have kept it safe, though several attempts at theft have been made
over the years.
God's Edges is a +4 two-handed sword of incredible design.
It is sentient, and has an
intelligence of 17 and an ego of 22 (!). It can communicate
telepathically with its possessor. It's of Lawful Good align, and
can perform the following at will: detect evil in 100', and find and
disarm any trap within 50'. Any evil creature struck by God's Edges
will be affected by the permanent explosive runes inscribed on the
blade at each hit.
