• Artifacts

Righteous Medal

Slot none; Price 6,000 gp; Aura Moderate Abjuration and Transmutation; CL 11th; Weight 0 lb.

DESCRIPTION

These ornate military medals are awarded to crusaders and adventurers who excel and deserve commendation in the war against the Worldwound. A medal must be affixed to a worn article of clothing to function, but doesn't have to be worn visibly. Any number of righteous medals can be worn, but the effects of multiple medals of a single type don't stack. A righteous medal functions only if the wearer has legitimately achieved the feat for which she received the medal. The wearer gains a +2 sacred bonus to the medal's associated ability score. In addition, each righteous medal grants a constant sacred bonus on one type of roll, as detailed below.

Righteous Medal of Agility: This triangular iron medal shows a demonic face surrounded by three swords. It is awarded to a hero who delivers a death blow to a demon in combat before that demon gets a chance to act in the combat. This medal is associated with Dexterity and grants a + 1 sacred bonus on Initiative checks.

Righteous Medal of Clarity: This circular blue medal depicts a pair of feminine gray eyes surrounded by a circular silver lightning bolt. It is awarded to a hero who recovers vital information of great use against the Worldwound and delivers this intelligence to the crusaders. This medal is associated with Intelligence and grants a +2 sacred bonus on saves against insanity or confusion effects.

Righteous Medal of Command: This circular medal depicts a leering demon head before two crossed swords. It is awarded to a hero who redeems one of the enemy and convinces the redeemed character to join the crusade. This medal is associated with Charisma and grants a +2 sacred bonus on saves against emotion-based effects (including fear effects).

Righteous Medal of Spirit: This rectangular medal depicts the symbol of lomedae on a field of red. It is awarded to a hero who becomes possessed or mentally controlled by a demon but escapes from that control before he is forced to do evil. This medal is associated with Wisdom and grants a +2 sacred bonus on saves against charm and possession effects (including dominate effects).

Righteous Medal of Valor: This medal looks like a demonic skull, the top of which has been pierced by four red-hilted swords. It is awarded to a hero who delivers a death blow to a demon whose CR is at least 1 higher than the hero's character level. This medal is associated with Strength and grants a +2 sacred bonus to CMD.

Righteous Medal of Vigor: This hexagonal medal depicts a white castle on a field of red with gold trim. It is awarded to a hero who is reduced to negative hit points by a demon but survives (or alternately, is restored to life) and rejoins the battle before that demon is defeated. This medal is associated with Constitution and grants a +2 sacred bonus on saves against death effects.

A mythic character who wears all six righteous medals gains one additional use of mythic power per day.

Terendelev's Scales

Slot none; Price Minor Artifact; Aura Strong Enchantment; CL 19th; Weight 0 lb.

DESCRIPTION

These palm-sized silver dragon scales are unique items-essentially minor artifacts resulting from Terendelev's death on the Storm King's blade.

Each of Terendelev's scales grants a different power to the person who carries them. The powers granted do not function at all if more than one scale is carried. The powers of the scales are listed below-any nonevil creature that handles a scale immediately understands its use.

Cloudwalking: Three times per day as a standard action, a scale can be used to cast levita te. A pillar of roiling clouds rises below the levitating object or creature, growing and shrinking with the target's altitude. This pillar is 5 feet in diameter (regardless of the target's size) and provides concealment (20% miss chance) to any creature or object wholly contained within.

Sacred Weaponry: Three times per day as a standard action, a scale can be used to cast align weapon, but only to make a weapon lawful or good. Unlike a normal align weapon spell, this effect can be cast on an unarmed strike or natural weapon.

All abilities cast as a 19th level caster.

DESTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

The Storm King Khorramzadeh can destroy each of Terendele v's scales merely by eating it.

Radiance

Slot Weapon; Price Legendary Weapon; Aura Strong Abjuration; CL 20th; Weight 4 lbs.

DESCRIPTION

Currently: +2 Cold Iron Morningstar with 2 uses of legendary power.

Radiance was once a powerful weapon, yet since Yaniel's death the blade has become inert. When handled by a Divine Warrior, however, the blade suddenly glows with golden light and functions as a +2 cold iron longsword that radiates light as a torch on command. The weapon shifts and changes its form to match the Divine Warrior's deity's favored weapon (in the hands of a Divine Warrior who doesn't worship a deity, the weapon remains a + 2 cold iron longsword). Certain events and tasks can awaken Radiance's latent powers.

The weapon has two daily uses of legendary power that recharge each day.

Any creature bearing the item can expend the items uses of legendary power, whether or not that creature is mythic. These uses of legendary power can be expended only to activate the legendary item's abilities. If the item's bearer isn't bonded to the item, she can expend the item's legendary power only to use its legendary surge ability.

Legendary Surge: +1d6 to Attack rolls and combat maneuver checks made while using the weapon.

DESTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS

A Divine Warrior must knowingly slay an angel with the blade, at which point the sword can be destroyed normally with damage.

Choppa

Slot Weapon; Price Legendary Weapon; Aura Strong Abjuration; CL 20th; Weight 4 lbs.

DESCRIPTION

Currently: +1 Cold Iron Greataxe with 2 uses of legendary power.

Choppa is a simple ordinary weapon that had fallen from it's rack in Kenebras from the merchant Ragrad Trivian.  The shop has suffered from the visitation of the Herald of Gorum, a whirling swarm of weapons and armor in a humanoid form.  The Herald, by the strands of fate, had knocked Choppa off of the wall while presenting Karsa, Demon-chop, with a Righteous Medal.  Emboldened by the Herald and strengthened by Karsa's convictions, it soon became a Legendary Weapon.

The weapon has two daily uses of legendary power that recharge each day.

Any creature bearing the item can expend the items uses of legendary power, whether or not that creature is mythic. These uses of legendary power can be expended only to activate the legendary item's abilities. If the item's bearer isn't bonded to the item, she can expend the item's legendary power only to use its legendary surge ability.

Legendary Surge: +1d6 to Attack rolls and combat maneuver checks made while using the weapon.
