Item Of Power Master List
JayTee:
1: Why is this bad?
2: It's basically All Are Equal Before God on steroids and crack. Equal Before God lets you ignore Toughness powers and natural armor. Always Kills Ignores everything that could possibly give you a defense bonus beyond your normal Alertness/Endurance/Athletics Skills. And you're right on the Weapons 3, I feel I should up that to 5 or something.
3: You're right, but I wasn't sure how to model that, so I just turned it in to a Spear on steroids and crack.
4: There is no debt, not that I am aware of, just a Spear on steroids and crack.
5: Fair enough, I'll change it up.
6: Also a good idea.
7: It was either Marked By Power, which could be Invoked for Effect, or a Power that basically turned a sword in to a giant flashlight. Marked By Power seemed like a better choice. And I don't remember anything about killing hundreds with a single swing, I think that's limited to the Anime version on Fate/Stay Night.
8: I remember another variant explicitly stating that it healed wounds, so I went with that. But you're right, I forgot the catch.
9: Basically just regular Divination, but with Angels providing you the intel.
10: There are ways to model omnipotence? Do tell!
Sanctaphrax:
2. If I have a stunt letting me dodge with a nonstandard skill, then does this make me use Athletics/Weapons/Fists instead? If so, how does that make sense?
4. My point was that you could obtain an actual "always kill" effect by letting the user take 100 sponsor debt to boost each attack.
7,8. Why not do both?
9. Then why does it cost 4?
10. You can do anything with Thaumaturgy or Declarations. Some sort of Sponsored Magic could work, as could worldwide Demesne. I also have a Reality Warper custom power that might be somewhat suitable here.
JayTee:
2: No, you can use a non-standard skill to dodge (Lore for precognition, for example), but you wont gain any bonuses from a stunt that gives you a +2 to to dodge.
4: Where is this Sponsor Debt coming from? From my perspective I've just made a really powerful Spear, am I missing something?
7,8: I don't have any inherent problem with allowing both, except for the whole 'killing hundreds with a single swing' effect, I could give the sword a Stunt that lets it applies the aspect "bedazzled" to people, or something. It just seems like a waste of refresh (for the sword) or redundant (For the scabbard)
9: Because you don't have to go through the Thaumaturgy steps for regular Divination, just snap your fingers and you have an Angel who can answer your questions.
10: I'll check those over and come up with a better version then, thanks!
Sanctaphrax:
2. The more I think about this the less I like it. It just doesn't make much sense to me that dodging skill from a stunt is somehow different from normal dodging skill.
4. Nowhere. Sponsor debt doesn't really need a source.
7. It wouldn't actually cost refresh to give the sword a stunt, since it hasn't used its whole discount.
8. How is it redundant?
9. You still need to cast spells normally when using Sponsored Magic.
Silverblaze:
The scabbard of excalibur should not grant recovery but Physical immunity to blades.
Kusanagi and Exalibur are already swords of the cross. (Cannon)
Otherwise do as you will with them.
The spear likely shouldn't defy size powers.
Lets see the Holy Grail written up?
