It counts as a Greater Rune Weapon.

I am slowly coming to the conclusion that I should (with Sherwood's permission) purchase the "big" melee crystal for 5 million instead of the medium, solely because the MMORPGer in me (that loves to max items in video games) is urging me to do. It is as if the medium crystal is just "not good enough" for this excellent Rod of Lightning Smacks Weather Control.

Does anyone else here have problems like these (the mindset of gaming in one type of game "invading" another)?

All the time.

 

[Sherwood]

Yes, it has the standard abilities of the rune weapon category, with its 'greater' ability being its power to cast weather related spells.

 

[Purr]

I'm sold! If it is okay with you, I'll do the financially-wonky-but-definitely-cool-decision of upgrading the Lightning rune Snowfall purchased from medium to large (and subtract 3.5 million credits for it). Snowfall doesn't even have W.P. Blunt!

Then again... I have no earthly clue when we last got experience points and when we'll be getting them next,, so... I guess I'll know what to purchase Skill-wise! =)

 

[Sherwood]

Sounds like a plan.

 

[Purr]

And thanks for making the Rod of Weather Control such a cool item! I don't know how long you've had it laying around (when you originally created it), but I know I get a good feeling when something I've personally created makes my players smile (like my Beasties). =)

 

[Sherwood]

lol I have had this in my back pocket for some time, just waiting for the right moment to reveal it to you.

 

[Purr]

My word, do I know that feeling well!

Do you have a picture of it?

 

[Sherwood]

I might be able to find something to match my mental picture.

 

[Sherwood]

My word, do I know that feeling well!

Do you have a picture of it?

Here ya go.

 

[Purr]

Very cool!

And I have to ask - what are the "standard abilities" of the Rod of Weather Control? It seems that sometimes these "standard" abilities change from book to book a little or am I just reading something wrong?

Rune Weapons
The simplest rune weapons only have the following eight abilities/
powers.
1. Independent personality, with an average to high I.Q.
2. Communicate through limited telepathy.
3. Are totally indestructible, the blades never dull or dent.
4. Made of black, dark grey, blue-grey, or dark red metal and lined
from tip to handle with runes.
5. Do no less than 4D6 S.D.C./hit point damage. In Rifts Earth,
they do no less than 4D6 M.D. and can actually be used to parry energy
blasts (-6 to parry, very difficult).
6. Link themselves to their wielder/owner within six months of constant
contact. Thus, both man and weapon can sense each other's presence
within a four mile radius (6.4 km) if separated.
7. Adds + 1 to all saving throws.
8. Can be used only by a person of a particular alignment (good,
evil, or selfish). Persons not of a compatible alignment take 1D8 S. D. C.
points of damage each time they touch the weapon or 3D6 M.D. if a
mega-damage creature.
Note: All rune weapons must be made of metal or hard stone, ideally
sculpted from a single stone or molded into one solid piece of metal;
no moving parts like gears.

Greater
Rune Weapons
The typical greater rune weapon will have all eight abilities as described
under the lesser weapons and one or two greater abilities.
Powers commonly available to Greater Rune Weapons; select one
or two.
• Cast elemental magic (offensive spells only). Such rune swords will
be able to cast four elemental spells per day. All four spells will
be of the same elemental force (water, earth, air, or fire). The
weapon will know only four spells, but may cast them in any
combination. Spell selection is limited to levels 1-6 and are equal
in power to a sixth level warlock.
Cost: 20 to 80 million credits, sometimes more.

 

[Purr]

That answers that! Thanks, you! Can't wait to use it! =)

Plus... I think I've finally gotten all of Snowfall's financial plusses and minuses figured out and his balance is accurate. Yay!

 

[Sherwood]

I have an IC post coming up. WlfSamurai I have an intro scene to get you started percolating in my head, and hopefully you'll like it.

 

[Purr]

Sherwood is... percolating! Ooooh! Pass the milk? =)

Awesome. Looking forward!

 

[WlfSamurai]

Sherwood I don’t know if you saw, but I took a hover-cycle. I hope that’s okay.

 

[Purr]

You took a hover-cycle? From whom, huh? Just what kind of Cyber-knight are you? 8D

Er, ah, I mean, happy hovering! 8D

 

[Sherwood]

I saw, and thank you.

 

[Purr]

Heya friends!

I am going to post an "Earlier" and "Present Time" post for Snowfall. My intent is just to show what's on his mind (not to create two ongoing scenes. Writing this way is also helping me get back into his Character as it's been awhile since I've posted a good one with my dear ol' Snowfall. =)

 

[Purr]

Yeah, that was fun! =)

 

[Sherwood]

Psht! Magic helmet.

 

[WlfSamurai]

Love it! This'll be fun!

 

[Purr]
