Preview 10 Paladin Magic Items: Bracers of Heroic Deeds


Illustration by Toni Justamante Jacobs

A preview of 10 Paladin Magic Items coming in November.

Bracers of Heroic Deeds
Aura Moderate (transmutation); CL 11th;
Slot wrists; Price 140 gp (lesser), 1,260 gp (standard), 3,500 gp (greater); Weight
Description

These bright steel bracers have embossed images of famous acts of heroism from throughout history. 

The wearer of these bracers gains a number of abilities based on what version of the bracers the paladin possess, the greater the versions of the bracers possess all the abilities of the lesser versions.

·        Lesser:  Once per day if there is a non-opponent within your range of a move action who is about to fall, she can move as an immediate action and grab hold of that ally and attempt to stop his fall. If the character weighs more than the paladin’s maximum load a Strength check is required (subject to GM adjudication), the paladin  gains a +2 sacred bonus to the Strength check.  You provoke attacks of opportunity for this  movement. When this ability is used the paladin loses its move action on the following turn as if she had moved to her current position. 
·        Standard:  Once per day as an immediate action the paladin instantly exchanges locations with an injured or helpless creature that is not an opponent (it does not need to be an ally) within 500 ft. that she has line of sight with. The paladin can bring along unattended objects as long as their weight doesn’t exceed her maximum load. The paladin may also bring her bonded mount (carrying gear or objects up to its maximum load). The paladin and the bonded mount to be transported must be in contact with one another.
·        Greater:  Once per day the paladin with these bracers opens up a brief but powerful divine conduit between herself and any 10 creatures she chooses within 50 ft. When a creature in range is hit by an attack or fails a saving throw, you can activate this item and the wounds and/or effects are magically transmitted to the paladin instead of the target. The paladin is affected as if she were hit by the attack or subject to the effect, she applies all her defenses including AC DR, immunities, resistances, saving throws, SR, tec. otherwise she suffers the damage and adverse effects. You can use this ability against an effect that also targets the wearer or includes her in its area; she suffers the effects for herself and the targets she spared, potentially taking damage or suffering other consequences multiple times.

Designing in Public: No Beast So Fierce,

This is a raw design of a sandbox location in the ruined city of Nō, on the alternate high-tech earth world known as Fierce. If you plan to play in the adventure for Lords of Gossamer & Shadow  No Beast So Fierce (Diceless), I suggest not reading this post. 

The Parallax:

There is a large neon blinking sign pointing down to what appears to be a set of stairs leading underground with a large heavy steel door at the bottom right hand side. The door is locked.

Within you find a black light lit nightclub playing music from the late 90s with leopard print carpet with neon colored walls. There is a sunk in dance floor,  with leather neon couches along its edges, a large wine cellar behind glass as well as a humidifier for cigars (bottles and boxes are missing, haven been taken by Sota-sama, and a number of virtual holographic computer consoles, there is also a fully stocked glass bar along the western wall. Around the room near the ceiling along the outer walls is a cylindrical aquarium that leads out to the southern wall, which made entirely of glass and apparently opens out to an underground lake. In two separate rooms are a pocket billiards table and a holographic entertainment system.    

The electronic ink image of Sota-sama, who appears to be injured, will tell non-cyber-naki who reach the bottom of the steps: “Welcome to what was either the world’s greatest nightclub or the worlds tackiest, I am not sure I have too much nostalgia for the place to have an objective opinion. You will find some good wine and cigars here. The Cyber-Naki avoided the Parallax for the last month due to chance of attracting the attention of Phoros.” 

Psyche: A ranked PC will get a sense that there is something off about this location. The highest ranked PC will detect an unusually disturbance to the interaction of Eidolon and Umbra.

Perceiving the Umbra: Anyone using this ability will sense a strong flow of umbra flowing down the stairs, and through this room into the underground lake (eventually reaching Phoros).


– – – – – –
The umbra kaiju known as Phoros will be attracted by any use of Eidolon in the club
