Transcendant Armor: Immolation

[Jkeown]

A Fantasy Hero Artefact...

You have to collect the whole suit before you can use the Immolation effect, and I'm thinking of backing that off to an RKA ex (Fire)... this is for a game with 300 point characters, who routinely face down other artefact-wielding bozos. Also, only the Burning Helm has been recovered, the rest of the suit is still hidden away in the nooks and crannies of the world.

 

Also, I'm trying to figure out the best way to model the "price" the whole "soul consuming" bit.

 

Immolation Set

 

Far back in time, before the Walls of Ancient Chalasa went up, and they who would become the Sea Elves still walked with Men under the sun, during the Occupation by the Dharzooni, there was forged a suit of armor more deadly than any ever conceived.

Individual pieces of the armor were black, soot-stained objects, warm to the touch and holding a fiery promise. Together, they transformed the wearer into a great beast of flame... but at a terrible price... for a bit of his soul would be consumed in the flames that devoured his enemies...

Pretty cool. As for the soul-consuming thing, it should most likely be a Side Effect, with the exact details depending on how you envision the end result of having one's soul fully consumed. Probably a Transform.

Re: Transcendant Armor: Immolation

 

How's about a transform into some horrid, flaming spirit of destruction? A column of vengeful hate given fiery form and function... an undead creature, in short, the character's original mind trapped in the flaming, ruinous wreck of his own body forever?

 

Too much?

 

I like it. Write up later... I gotta go to work.
