The Old World - Grim and Perilous Beta v3

Swords of duelists
Legend says that those swords were forged using
souls of skilled swordsmen. Thanks to this,
those weapons are capable of fighting on their
own. But not everything went as intended by
the wizard creating them, and the imprisoned
soul to this day curses the sword's owner and
thirsts for his blood.
While wearing the sword of duelist, your character
may spend a Story Point to draw a sword
and send it to combat. Once per round in structured
encounters, your character may spend
one maneuver to direct the sword in performing
one action and one maneuver during your
character’s turn.

the years most of those armors have been lost
and the method of their manufacture has
been forgotten. Increases the durability of war
mounts. Equipped with this armor, the mount

Chaos Armor
Chaos Armor is a powerful gift from the Ruinous
Powers. Usually only the most devout Chaos
warriors receive these armors, but sometimes
they come across people whom the Chaos gods
want to tempt and bring to their side.
