Creating Weapons

[Dungeon Master]

There are two types of weapons able to be created:
Sentient Weapons and Non-Sentient Weapons.
They are not to be confused with Standard Issue Weapons.

Implements exist in the same format.

==================================================
Sentient Weapons:
These weapons gain experience at 75% alongside their wielders.
There may be events which accord experience to such weapons
As they level, more abilities/properties in the weapon is revealed or made possible to be used. The weapon may be auto-enhanced as well.

Levels are same as character's leveling table.

Such weapons cannot be infused nor permanently enchanted upon.

==================================================

==================================================
Non-Sentient Weapons:
(also known as Standard Weapons)
These weapons can be upgraded via means of Infusion.
They can be enchanted to enhance their efficiency.

Such Enchanted Weapons retain their infused state.
Thereafter, if any enchantment is undesired, it is advisable to disenchant the weapon to retain its infused properties.

All Infused Properties will be represented as Infused on the weapon card.

==================================================

==================================================
Players starting with non-sentient weapons do not start with any extra undeclared property (DM declaration) infused in them.

Simply pick any of the Standard Issue weapons and you're good to go.


Players starting with sentient weapons are to use the below Sentient Weapons post as a guide to Sentient weapons creation and how they function.

==================================================
Sentient Weapons/Implements Guide
==================================================
Sentient Weapons/Implements need to be defined in terms of its physical structure and visual appearance.
Drawings and Images are accepted. (Although I'll laugh at some elaborately designed image and it has only a sentient effect of "it talks back to me")
So do exercise careful judgment and caution.

Such weapons/implements need to be defined as:
- 1 or 2 handed or versatile
- Off Hand / Main Hand
- Weight
- Weapon Group (Heavy, Light, etc)
- General Proficiency Type (Simple Melee? Exotic? Superior Military? etc)
- Specialised Proficiency Type (Fullblade Proficiency etc) - affects Enhancement
- Range/Melee
- Reach
- Standard Weapon Damage
- Enhancement
- Level of Weapon (all sentient begins at 1)
- Critical Damage Roll (all sentient starts with 0)
- Item Slot
- Price (all sentient are defined as 0)
- Source (all sentient are marked as CUSTOM)
- Appearance


All sentient weapon and implements begin with ONLY 1 unique ability to be chosen from the list below. All existing properties such as the Mordenkrad's Brutal 2 are considered void.
NOTE: THIS IS AN EXTREMELY IMPORTANT CHOICE.
This will define the main characteristic of the sentience of the weapon/implement.
The character's roleplay will also affect the weapon/implement's growth

- Weapon = Implement (The weapon can be used as an implement)
- Carries a SIMPLE At-Will Utility Power that activates only on a hit. (Free action)
- Carries a SIMPLE Combat / Healing (1d6) (Uses surge) Encounter Power. (Standard Combat / Minor Heal; Action)
- Carries a SIMPLE Combat / Healing (1d6) (Surgeless) Daily Power (Standard Action)
- High Crit Pure [1[W] per enhancement + and 1 extra Crit Dice per enhancement +]
- Brutal 2
- Sharp (on a roll of >85%, causes 1d4 bleed)
- Blunt (on a roll of >85%, causes daze)
- High Crit (1 weapon dice per enhancement +) and Brutal 1
- Elemental (choose one: Fire, Cold, Force or Lightning damage; +1 damage of such damage per hit)
- Affliction (choose one: Poison, Acid or Necrotic damage; +1 damage of such damage per hit)
- Freeloading
- Shapeshift (weapon is able to change shapes between 2 starting forms as an at-will; minor action; no increase to reach. Each form requires proficiency to wield and each form does not grant what would otherwise have been an original weapon property such as brutal, high crit, freeloading, etc) - Reach may increase as sentience levels up (depending on access to new form)

All sentient weapons need to be defined as one of the following:
- Gun (Bows and Crossbows = Guns)
- Ki-Based (melee only; blade end of weapon is invisible)
- Physical (Whole weapon can be seen)

All sentient implements are considered as Physical.
