Fragarach, the Answerer
A blade forged by the gods, Fragarach was wielded by many of the great heroes of Irish mythology: Manannan mac Lir, Lugh, Cu Chullain, and Conn of the Hundred Battles all bore the blade at at one time or another.
*It Is What It Is: Fragarach is an early medieval Celtic longsword slightly more than three feet long. Crafted with superhuman skill, it thus provides Weapon:3 inherently, before its other powers.
*Deadly Blow: Fragarach is said to bring death to whatever is wounded by the blade. It counts as a Weapon:5. [-1]
*Command of the Air: Fragarach grants its wielder control of the air in battle, as Channeling (Air). [-2]
*The Ultimate Blade: Fragarach provides a +1 to all Weapons rolls using it. Furthermore, no armor can withstand the Answerer. Attacks with Fragarach ignore all Armor. [-3?]
Refresh Cost: -4?

+2 weapon rating for a single weapon or form of attack is a -1 refresh stunt that does not need a FP. As a power it could be even +3 weapon rating... or you could just start out the sword as base weapon 3 and add 2.
Ignoring 2 points of armor with a specific attack is an effect of similar power. So another -1 refresh.
A power such as "All Creatures Are Equal" for a -3 refresh can allow you to pay a fate point to ignore all toughness/recovery/immunity and all armor of a creature for the entire scene.
Consider True Strike to give +1 to weapon rolls with the weapon for another -1 refresh.
So it is Weapon 5, armor piercing 2 and air channeling for 3 refresh (-5 cost +2 rebate). If you also give True Strike, it is 4 refresh, If you also put "All Creatures Are Equal", it is 7 refresh.

OK, thanks.

What about ignoring ALL armor? But not toughness/recovery/immunity powers, that's for a Sword of the Cross. (So if you hit someone with Inhuman Toughness, it ignores the Armor:1 but not the 2 extra stress boxes.)
Consider True Strike to give +1 to weapon rolls with the weapon for another -1 refresh.
True. Good idea.

This has no bearing whatsoe'er on the topic, but I really thought this was going to be a comic item when I opened the thread. Sounds very much like "Fraggle Rock" when said out loud.
