Ms. Quixotic Talks About Games

A Blade For Your Love

Think beyond that petty mortal frame. What is a lover if not an extension of yourself? What does it mean to love? Fight for me, dear. Take my power away, and use it. Lose me, lose yourself. Don't let me down.

Layer 1

A magic sword can be produced from your body, in the presence of your lover. You must be bent back gently, and the sword pulled from your chest. The first time this is used, roll a magic sword if you haven't already (see below). The sword lasts for one battle fought by your lover, and may be used in social combat.

You are vulnerable while your sword is manifested. You can dodge and run, but you cannot fight.

You are incapable of wielding your own sword.

Layer 2

Same as above, but you take a sword from your lover instead. You lay them back, their hands on yours, and slide the blade from their heart. They must be willing or this fails.

Layer 3

Find a vulnerable secret on someone you love, and give them a black rose. They will fall unconscious and you may pluck their sword from their chest and use it for one battle. You fight with their skills until battle is complete. They will regain consciousness once the blade is returned.

Roll A Magic Sword

Roll a magic sword using your odnd clone of choice. This is your sword (this is you?). Decide on its appearance the first time it is pulled (or taken) from you. It has your alignment. It's Intelligence is yours - 6, minimum 0. Ego is your Charisma - 6, minimum 0.

If the sword is capable of speech, you may project your will through it, if you are conscious. Follow your games rules for ego battles, and you take control of your lover until the sword is returned.

Your sword may have a higher purpose (what does this mean for you?)

Layer ???

Your magic sword is removed from your heart. The strings connecting you are torn, and you lose 1 max health per HD (including future level ups). You may no longer exert your will through it, but you are capable of wielding it.

If it is capable of speech, it gains its own identity, based on your state of mind when it was removed. It will never feel complete.
