202 Vile Infestation (Lesser) Conjuration (Summoning) Level: Clr 5 Components: V, S, DF Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) Target: One corporeal creature Duration: 1 round Saving Throw: Fortitude half Spell Resistance: Yes Lesser vile infestation infects the subject with a swarm of tiny vermin (in the case of priestesses of the Dark Mother, the infestation is of spiders, other deities of the drow have different vermin). The vermin manifest inside the target’s body, just below the skin and immediately begin eating their way out. The spell inflicts 1d4 points of damage per level of the caster (maximum 10d4), and living creatures with a circulatory system take an additional point of damage per d4 in blood loss as the vermin burst through their skin. Creatures without a circulatory system, such as undead or plant-based creatures do not take this additional damage. Damage reduction is ineffective against the vermin created by lesser vile infestation. Viper Bite Transmutation Level: Sor/Wiz 2 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 standard action Range: Personal Target: You Duration: 1 round/level Casting viper bite causes two of the caster’s teeth to grow into fangs, which he can use to deliver a deadly poisonous bite. One of the caster’s normal unarmed attacks each round becomes a bite attack, dealing a base d4 damage. The caster’s fangs inject venom into the foe on any successful bite attack. This venom is enhanced by the power of the spell and may be resisted by successful Fortitude saves (DC 11 + caster level) for both initial and secondary damage (initial and secondary damage are both 1d6 Constitution). Material Component: A drop of poison from any venomous snake. New Magic Items Armour Enhancements Invisibility By simply willing the magic to activate, the wearer of this armour can become invisible, as per the spell. The wearer may still be heard if he moves about in armour. Faint Illusion; CL 5 th ; Craft Magic Arms and Armour; invisibility; Price +20,000 gp Nimble This armour is created with extra flexibility in all joints, and is enchanted to aid the wearer in performing several Dexterity-based skills. Armour with the nimble enchantment provides a +6 bonus to Balance, Escape Artist and Tumble checks. Any skill check penalties to armour still apply, according to armour type. Faint Transmutation; CL 3 rd ; Craft Magic Arms and Armour; cat’s grace; Price +18,000 gp Specific Armour Trollskin armour This armour is made from the skin of a troll. The magic expended in its creation enables the armour to retain a portion of its regenerative capabilities and pass that ability on to its wearer. Though not as impressive as the regeneration of a living troll, this ability alone makes trollskin armour highly valued among the drow. Trollskin armour protects and encumbers exactly like studded leather +1 and it imbues its wearer with Regeneration 1, taking normal damage from fire and acid like a troll. Strong Conjuration; CL 13 th ; Craft Magic Arms and Armour; animate dead, regenerate; 90,000 gp; Weight 20 lb. Boneforged armour Boneforged armour derives its primary magical abilities from the undead creature whose bones were used to create the armour. Any powers of the armour which depend upon the abilities of the undead are set at the time of the armour’s creation, and may never be modified or added to in any way. However, it is still possible to add other armour enhancements (such as nimble) to the boneforged armour after the time of its creation. Magical boneforged armour must be enchanted to at least a +1 as part of the creation process; otherwise the bones will not retain any of the undead abilities. Further, the bones must be in large, contiguous pieces for the boneforged item to retain undead abilities, meaning that only armours such as the breastplate and half-plate can be made from the undead bones. Note that although armours such as half-plate and full plate consist of multiple plates of bone, the suit of armour is
considered a single whole, and thus cannot surpass a maximum bonus of +10. Listed below are some of the armour abilities that can be created from the bones of the undead through boneforging. Stench Forged of the bones of a ghast, this armour gives off a powerful stench of death and corruption. All living creatures within 10 feet of the armour (except the wearer, who is immune), must succeed on a DC 15 Fortitude save or be sickened for 1d6+4 minutes. Any creature that successfully saves will not be affected by this ability again for 24 hours. Faint Necromancy; CL 5 th ; Craft Magic Arms and Armour, Boneforging; animate dead; Price +1 bonus Despair Crafted from the bones of a mummy, this armour gives off an aura of despair. Any living creature who sets eyes upon on the armour must succeed at a DC 16 Will save or be paralysed with fear for 1d4 rounds. Any creature that successfully saves will not be affected by this ability again for 24 hours. Faint Necromancy; CL 6 th ; Craft Magic Arms and Armour, Boneforging; animate dead; Price +2 bonus Damage Reduction Forged from the bones of a vampire, this armour retains the creature’s damage reduction abilities, passing them on to the wearer of the armour. The creature that wears this armour gains damage reduction 10/silver and magic as a constant effect so long as the armour is worn. Moderate Necromancy; CL 9 th ; Craft Magic Arms and Armour, Boneforging; animate dead; Price +3 bonus Resistance Forged from the bones of a vampire, this armour retains the creature’s elemental resistance abilities, passing them on to the wearer of the armour. The creature that wears this armour gains cold resistance 10 and electrical resistance 10 as a constant effect so long as the armour is worn. Faint Necromancy; CL 5 th ; Craft Magic Arms and Armour, Boneforging; animate dead; Price +2 bonus Weapons Boneforged Weapons Boneforged weapons derive their primary magical abilities from the undead creature whose bones were used to create the weapon. Any powers of the weapon which depend upon the abilities of the undead are set at the time of the weapon’s creation, and may never be modified or added to in any way. However, it is still possible to add other weapon enhancements (such as anarchic) to the boneforged weapon after the time of its creation. Magical boneforged weapons must be enchanted to at least a +1 as part of the creation process; otherwise the bones will not retain any of the undead abilities. Listed below are some of the weapon abilities that can be created from the bones of the undead through boneforging. Paralysis, Lesser Forged of the bones of a ghoul, anyone hit by this weapon must succeed on a DC 12 Fortitude save or be paralysed for 1d4+1 rounds. Faint Necromancy; CL 5 th ; Craft Magic Arms and Armour, Boneforging; animate dead; Price +1 bonus Paralysis, Greater Forged of the bones of a ghast, anyone hit by this weapon must succeed on a DC 15 Fortitude save or be paralysed for 1d4+1 rounds. Faint Necromancy; CL 6 th ; Craft Magic Arms and Armour, Boneforging; animate dead; Price +2 bonus Rotting Crafted of the desiccated bones of a mummy, the weapon is able to inflict the magical disease mummy rot upon any creature struck by it. The victim must succeed in a DC 16 Fortitude save or be infected. The disease progresses exactly like mummy rot (see MM) and may be cured in the same way. Moderate Necromancy; CL 9 th ; Craft Magic Arms and Armour, Boneforging; animate dead; Price +3 bonus Energy Drain, Lesser Moulded from the bones of a wight, this item drips with unlife. On a critical hit with this weapon, the target of the blow gains one negative level. The DC is 14 for the Fortitude save to remove this negative level. A creature slain with this weapon will rise as a wight in 1d4 days. Strong Necromancy; CL 12 th ; Craft Magic Arms and Armour, Boneforging; animate dead; Price +4 bonus Energy Drain, Greater Moulded from the bones of a vampire, this item all but shimmers with undeath. On a critical hit with this weapon, the target of the blow gains two negative levels. The DC 203
