This is an off the wall thought I had…
What would a cursed tighmaevril weapon with the ability of Life Stealing do?
Normally the Life Stealing ability transfers HPs from the opponent and gives them to the attacker; But since its cursed, would it transefer the attackers HPs to the opponent… thus allowing them to survive the piercing of the heart? And the tighmaevril is cursed so… would the bloodtheft be reversed???
Just a zany thought… I really need sleep…
Yes I agree, sleep can be very helpful when the mind goes wacky.
You are near a scion keep at it!
Wouldn’t it be interesting that each time the cursed weapon hits there is a chance that it gives the defender some of the attackers bloodline. A 10% chance that the attacker loses one point.
What would happen if the scion was attacking a non-blooded?
This one is just a little strange. Somehow I can’t see a cursed sword functioning as an IV for blood transfer. Now, I honestly don’t have a problem with a cursed weapon that syphons off some of your blood strength. Who knows maybe it even stores the blood points until the sword’s rightful master comes to claim it and the blood points. Geeze, that could be a really ugly way to introduce a PC regent to an Ansheigh.
Why wouldn’t the curse just cause all usurpations to have a chance of change the wielder’s deriviation to azrai? The chance of changing could increase with the strength of bloodline usurped, thus adding temptation to use the blade, and making things more interesting then a simple reversal of it’s normal function.
There is no reason it wouldn’t. We are just trying to figure out what this cursed weapon would or should do.
Actually there is no purpose to this thread. I launched it in the wee hours of the morn when my brain was fried… Plus I figured we’d all get a kick out of the answers people tried to come up with…
If this thread is a waste I or you could always delete it or we could close it.
