Item Of Power Master List
Sanctaphrax:
The sword looks good.
The Mustache is kinda good, but it isn't an item. It's a body part.
The eye looks good now.
The skates look good, except I missed something important earlier: Removing Skates really shouldn't give a rebate. It should just be a compel.
The staff needs work. Plant growth rates are not defined, and as such multiplying them does jack and squat. Plus Nature Channel steps on Refinement's toes rather badly, and anyway doesn't make much sense mechanically. Might be better to make this into a Sponsored Magic-granting item.
Incidentally, why is it that so many people create new powers when writing Items Of Power? What's wrong with stunts and canon powers?
Mr. Death:
Well, yes. As I said, I was feeling silly at the time.
There's nothing wrong with canon stunts and powers, but using an item of power to give canon stunts and powers makes it kind of generic, I think. I figured this thread was for unique ideas for Items of Power.
Sanctaphrax:
Generic? Really?
Most of my favourite items use no non-canon powers at all. Sometimes they have reflavourings, though.
Does the Lamp Of Diogenes look generic to you? Does Hitler's robo-suit?
Mr. Death:
I haven't really read all of them in detail. Maybe generic was the wrong word. I'm not always great at explaining things.
Sanctaphrax:
I dunno, you might be completely right.
It's just weird to me that people would think that way.
But this isn't the sort of situation where there's a right way to think.
