View Full Version : 5x Spirit Bow Gauntlet

a supple azure leather gauntlet

- Kasu says, 'This gauntlet is a holy relic that creates a spiritual conduit between itself and its bearer. He who wears it can channel his power through the gauntlet by raising it up, and upon doing so, his energy will be focused into the tangible form of a short bow that has the equivalent of a fifth-level enchantment.'

- Kasu says, 'The bow draws upon the individual's energy to create bolts of light for ammunition. The bow is kept up by draining a trickle of mana from its bearer every minute or so.'

- Kasu says, 'The bolts of light fired from this bow will have a single chance to flare with plasma against living targets, and two chances against undead targets.'

- Kasu says, 'When the bow is tangible, the gauntlet has the power to break the damping in this conduit when it is clenched in a fist, which will unleash a powerful and destructive force, but this force can only be unleashed once every two hours.'

- Kasu says, 'This undamped conduit empowers the bow to heighten its user's strength as well as their influence and the aura they possess. All bolts fired will automatically flare on the target that is struck, and the force of the attack will be markedly stronger than normal.'

- Kasu says, 'However, this enhancement comes at a grave cost - it will drain the spirit of its bearer rather steadily. If the bearer is not dead when the bow dissipates, the backlash will cause dreadful injuries to his bow-wielding weapon hand and the arm itself.'

- show: Dyed the deep azure of a desert sky, the fine-grained leather gauntlet is tailored with a short, split cuff. A stylized sun is embossed in gold on the back of the glove with tiny rays of crimson eahnor.

5x on mana, 10x-20x on spirit. The +10 STAT bonus to STR, AUR, INF bonus also lasts for at least 20 minutes after releasing the bow from spirit mode. Bow cannot be disarmed and permanently lost because it forms from and recoils into the gauntlet. It would also be immune to breakage should it ever be released. And it can also be formed from hiding without becoming unhidden. Works with CMAN MFIRE.

Current offer is 250m on a 4-month term, taking offers until midnight tonight; PM, IM, or email. Partial trades could include the rolaren gorget, the rolaren claid, charging crystals, troll heart, weighted daggers, TD flaring shields, robe crystals, or other nifty EG items.

>How long does God Mode last with the bow?

Until you die from spirit loss or release the bow, at which time it gives you level 2 wounds on the left hand and arm.

>Does it just make it 10x when it's in this mode?

It's 5x, 5x bow and 0x arrows I assume. When in "God Mode" it's a total of ranges from 10-20x, be it from the bow or the arrows.

Me with a 4x bow and 4x ebladed arrows:
You fire a wooden arrow at a kobold!
AS: +225 vs DS: +5 with AvD: +25 + d100 roll: +59 = +304

Me with the spirit bow in mana mode:
You draw back on the force between the limbs of your bow, drawing upon your power to create a crackling diffuse golden bolt of energy.
You fire a crackling diffuse golden bolt of energy at a rotting woodsman!
AS: +210 vs DS: +149 with AvD: +20 + d100 roll: +75 = +156
... and hit for 28 points of damage!
Strike pierces forearm!
The bolt of energy dissipates into tiny diffuse golden particles.
Roundtime: 4 sec.

First shot in spirit (God) mode:
You draw back on the force between the limbs of your bow, drawing upon your power to create a crackling diffuse golden bolt of energy.
You fire a crackling diffuse golden bolt of energy at a wood wight!
AS: +235 vs DS: +100 with AvD: +20 + d100 roll: +75 = +230
... and hit for 69 points of damage!
Blow shatters knee and severs lower leg!
A wood wight screams delightedly and falls to the ground grasping its mangled right leg!
It seems to enjoy the pain!

** Your bolt of energy suddenly bursts, scattering into particles of diffuse golden plasma! **
... 25 points of damage!
Plasma scalds the wood wight's stomach leaving painful red streaks.

** The diffuse golden particles swirl and collapse in on themselves, centered on a wood wight! **
... 20 points of damage!
Minor burns to the wood wight's shield arm.
Roundtime: 4 sec.

Fifth shot:
You draw back on the force between the limbs of your bow, drawing upon your power to create a crackling diffuse golden bolt of energy.
You fire a crackling diffuse golden bolt of energy at a wood wight!
AS: +260 vs DS: +80 with AvD: +20 + d100 roll: +25 = +225
... and hit for 55 points of damage!
Elbow punctured, oh what pain!

** Your bolt of energy suddenly bursts, scattering into particles of diffuse golden plasma! **
... 5 points of damage!
Pinpoint strike sears the wood wight's chest.

** The diffuse golden particles swirl and collapse in on themselves, centered on a wood wight! **
... 20 points of damage!
Minor burns to the wood wight's weapon arm.
Roundtime: 4 sec.

Eighth shot:
You draw back on the force between the limbs of your bow, drawing upon your power to create a crackling diffuse golden bolt of energy.
You fire a crackling diffuse golden bolt of energy at a rotting woodsman!
AS: +285 vs DS: +152 with AvD: +20 + d100 roll: +6 = +159
... and hit for 26 points of damage!
Strike just below the jaw, nice shot to the neck!

** Your bolt of energy suddenly bursts, scattering into particles of diffuse golden plasma! **
... 25 points of damage!
A raw, red hole is drilled in the rotting woodsman's chest by a powerful bolt!
The rotting woodsman falls to the ground, a lifeless lump of flesh.
Roundtime: 4 sec.

>How much mana does it take to fire in each mode?

It's 20 mana to form the bow and 5 mana every 60 seconds to mantain it. Fires at no cost.

>What's the spirit drain in God Mode?

Looks to be the about the same at the mana, 1 spirit every 45 to 60 seconds. A SP recovery enchancive and this thing would be even more ungodly.

>Would recoil from disarm end God Mode?

Still got to find someone to test this. But I'm fairly certain it would preemptively end God mode, causing you to take the damage. I managed to disarm it in mana mode once and the bow simply vanishes, so you have to reform it.

>Is it +10 to the stat or bonus?

It is +10 to the STAT.

>Does the DF of the weapon increase when in God Mode?

It appears not to; the substantial AS increase, constant flares, and STAT bonuses seem to be the bonuses provided by God mode.

What's the big fuss with these i mean they're "cool"... but using the decent mode of it drains your spirit and fucks you up??

I wasn't impressed.

The regular mode seems pretty cool as it is, though, eh? And that only uses mana. I imagine it would be good for a ranger or other semi-pure archer.

Neat flares that's for sure..

You draw back on the force between the limbs of your bow, drawing upon your power to create a crackling hazy blue bolt of energy.

... and hit for 72 points of damage!
Brutal blow to the neck sends head flying!
The head floats up and settles back in place as easily as a hat.

Well it just keeps getting better and better.. Done some testing finally with "super mode" using the undamped conduit..

>clench gaunt
As you tighten your grip around a crackling hazy blue long bow, you feel a sudden rush of power surge through your left arm, demolishing the damping force within the conduit connecting you to the bow! You feel the power begin to siphon away the very essence of your life!

- Bonuses are +10 to strength, +10 to Aura, +10 to Influence while in this mode.
- Spirit begins to drain very quickly but definetely worth it

Your life essence continues to drain away into the hazy blue bow!

- Arrows instantly enchanted from 0x to 5x when in "super mode" and flare on every shot.
- After first spirit is drained, arrows are enchanted further up to 10x, making a total of +75 for the bow.
- Will cause 2nd degree wounds on hand and arm when bow dissipates

>drop bow
Overexerted from the enormous surge of power through your left arm, you feel your muscles scream with pain, accompanied by a number of shattered bones! Crackling bands of hazy blue energy flow down the limbs your hazy blue bow as they recede into the confines of your leather gauntlet.

This is exactly like the spirit bow from Bleach: http://pics.livejournal.com/lumivalkea/pic/000k2qh0

Along with the walking Pratchett trunk, it looks like the GM's had some trouble coming up with some original ideas.

10-30-2006, 02:00 PM
Heh, I'm sure the idea of an energy/spirit bow predates even that picture.

Got 150m in coin or 180m or so in trades thus far; still debating and testing currently. The stuff Tsin has posted up there is correct.

You should be able to get a lot more than that for your bow since it is the only one on the market.... Both the composite and long bow versions have found permanent homes and won't be sold.

whats up those bows don't crit? Too bad I don't have mana or I'd be intersted. Is it like a normal short bow in damage factor? I'd like to see some logs of aimed attacks.

Heh, I'm sure the idea of an energy/spirit bow predates even that picture.In Bleach, the character who uses a spiritual bow eventually gets a gauntlet to summon it. That gauntlet could use an ability to draw on more of his power at a very high cost.

Kraygon
10-30-2006, 04:00 PM
Yeah, it crits. He was dropping schrikens(sp) left and right last night. I asked him to aim at the legs to get several shots of the flares and he ended up shooting at a viper; not sure how that works with bow mechanics. I'll see about gettings some more logs.

You hit the area, but it doesn't crit. I don't know if there's phantom crit damage, and my memory's hazy on the ability to 'crit' kill cyclops aiming for the eye that doesn't exist.
