Let's imagine a new weapons, that can be created and added in IWD:EE. An original weapon, a weapon of your dream, what should it be?
Myself, is dreaming to add this weapons:
1. Tsunami, a magic wakidzashi, because there is'nt any good in the game.
Tsunami is a +3 magic weapon that can cast a druidic spell Smashing Wave by a percentage.
2. Sharping Edge (don't really like this name, maybe you can suggest better), a magical halberd +1, with seriously increased critical chance (+2 to critical), but needs a 19 dex from its wielder (let's say to not chop your party member head by accident
)
3. Swordshield (meh, i'm not good at names), a shortsword with mediocre +1 bonus but with a fantastic +3 AC. One of the best weapons in off-hand.
4. Longsword with a rare magic gem in grip, which can store 3 spells (it's a simple minor sequencer). Maybe we should limit it only to rangers and paladins, what do you think?
So, do you dream about a special weapon in IWD?

A tanto is a knife or small sword from Kara-Tur, it's forged in hira-zukuri, meaning that it have no ridge-line, unlike the shinogi-zukuri shape of a katana. It's also the shortest of three similar swords, the wakizashi and the katana.
This tanto is very thin and therefore would cut soft targets extremely well. Specially designed for stabbing, "Sayonara" can be very deadly in the hands of a clever rogue.

Range 1 ft.
Damage 1D4 +4 (+2 cold)
THACO +7

Speed 5
Special: +3 AC, limits your APR to 3, 10% chance on hit to freeze time for 1 second for everyone but the wielder of WoD
The general idea is that it's an enchanted dagger that emanates a strong aura of frost, slowing both its victim and its wielder at the same time. Thus the low speed, hefty AC penalty and the APR limit.
My team is composed of :
Elf - Mage(entropist)/Thief
Orc - Barbarian
Human - Warrior9/Cleric(Lathander)
Half-Elf - Bard (Scald)
The mage/thief has a Moonblade :
1D8+0 - +7 to hit - strike at distance (with sword of Mordenkainen animation, looks cool
Chances on hit :
Dispell on target (think Carsomyr) - 50%
Cold 1D8 - 100%
Lightning strike on 1 target (20D10) - 5%
Powers (1/day) :
Entropic blade - The blade turns into a flaming sword for 20 seconds, lose most of it's powers, but give a big bonus to entropy and elemental resistances, and gives the power "improved alacrity" (lvl9 mage) to the character for the duration.
Shadow blade - The blade turns into a dagger for 30 seconds - the dagger is 1d4+0 and +7 to hit, and has a random chance on each hit to give the character various powerfull but very short duration buffs : improved haste, more attacks per round, increased backtab multiplier, strong poison, backtab every hit ...
This one may look overpowered, and it is, mind you, mages and thiefs are relatively weak in HoF mode, in any case, it's very fun to play with, the dagger mode is very dynamic, with huge spikes of damage (100+) alongs with very fast attacks when I get lucky with the dices
This is a very beefed-up version of the blade that I used in my last BG2 playthrough
The barbarian has a leather armor :
AC 2
+20% to physical resistances
+25% to max hp when worn
Regeneration 1hp/s
on each hit taken : +1% to physical resistances for 15s, but as the armor magicaly hardens, movement modifier is also reduced by 1
This armor basicaly turns my Barbarian into a tank, when surrounded with many enemies, resistance can go up to 75-85%, but it reduces mobility to almost nothing.
The cleric has a mace :
2D6+5
+5 to hit
+4 spellcasting speed
On each hit, chance to cast various spells like mass heal, prayer, blessing etc ...
I always found cleric buffing to be boring and tedious, so this weapon is basicaly just an autobuff mace, just send the cleric into melee and voilà ! The mass heal proc is nice to have and often a lifesaver, but is very far to be enough to do the whole healing job, so it stays somewhat balanced, at least in HoF.
My bard has a long bow :
1D8+5
chance on hit :
War song of Sith
Great malediction on targets
Can summon arrows (20 each / day)
Hope arrows : low damage, proc emotion : courage, emotion : hope and Song of Tymorra on hit.
Spike arrow : huge damage, stun, attack song
Confusion arrow : average damage, confusion on target, mass slow
This weapon prevent the bard from being a pure buffbot, as songs are activated from the melodic bow (I like to see it as a harp-bow !), and the different types of arrows. Makes the bard gameplay more interesting.
I have provided the files if curious people want to use or modify the items for their game.
Description is generic, so put whatever you want with DLTCEP.
Zlame.itm is the basic moonblade, it calls zblade.itm and zdague.itm as powers
Zgrok.itm is the leather jacket, it calls zgrok.spl as a passive ability
Zbow.itm is the bow, it summons the 3 types of arrows (zarpik, zarconf, zarhope)
Zmasse.itm is the mace
Here's your weapons, I had 5min to spare
Well most of em, I was not sure what spells you wanted on your longsword
I did not test them (cannot do that at .. huh work.) but it should be okay.
I did not include a description so it's generic, as this is not stored in the item file, and I do not want to mess with dialog.tlk right now, but feel free to add one with DLTCEP if you want.
You will need eekeeper to add the item to your savegame : http://sourceforge.net/projects/eekeeper/
DLTCEP for editing : http://sourceforge.net/projects/gemrb/files/Utilities/DLTCEP 7.7/
Cheers !
I'll test it tomorrow
Clearly the idea of this topic is to collect original ideas and then make them in to a whole unique mod!
Lord Dwarven Beard of the Greyrock clan was in a constant struggle with another dwarven clan whose name has been lost in the ages.
Anyway, while his clan was at war with this clan, he asked an eleven mage to commission him an axe that would turn his enemies to pieces.
It might have been his accent, it might have been the mage being a dick, but the axe Dwarven Beard got back was nothing he expected.
Cast friends twice per day
Cast charm person once per day
Here are a few of my own half-baked ideas:
* Rusted Band: clerical ring, automatically casts 6 ironskins on the wearer when they drop below 10% HP
* Periapt of Preservation: generic amulet, makes the wearer immune to 'chunking' (non-resurrectable death)
* Bloodied Talisman: generic necklace, adds life-leech to the wearer's weapon (leeches 1 HP/hit from target)
* Twisted Gear of Enoll Eva: generic ring, doubles wearer's APR (useless on low-APR chars, uber on high-)
* Trollbane Ring: generic ring, adds +1 acid damage to the user's melee/ranged weap (works with both!)
* Ring of Evasion: kensai ring, pure-class only, grants +1 AC for 9 seconds each time its wearer is hit
* Earthbound Legwraps: druidic boots, roots attackers in place (33% for 1s, 33% for 2s, 33% for 3s)
* Gloves of Magic Amplification: mage wrists, increases the wearer's spellcasting level by 5
* Fulmarra: +3 generic longbow (3APR), fires bolts of lightning that cut through foes and deal 3d6 dmg.
* Splinter: +3 generic spear, 15% on hit to proc a 'splinter' (3 piercing damage per sec, for 10 seconds)
* Baleheart: +4 evil-only spear, 1d6+4 damage, 25% chance per kill to gain +1 stackable damage for 8h
* Darthirii'elg: +4 generic shortsword, drow weapon, +8 THAC0 & damage vs. elves, 25% vorpal vs. elves
* Zrimira: +4 generic scimitar, has a 10% chance per hit of delivering a Coupe de Grace (quad damage)
* Double Edge: +3 generic bastard sword, +33% slash resi, does +3d6 slash dmg. to target & wielder
* Cinderblock: +2 generic hammer, +2d4 crushing dmg., 10% on hit to knockdown for 3sec (no save)
* Shanker: +2 generic dagger, gives +1 APR, lowers target's piercing resistance by 25% per hit (20sec)
* Backstabber: +1 rogue dagger, adds +1 to backstab threat range with each kill (buff lasts 10sec)
* Steel Rain: +2 kensai katana (pure-class only), gives +2 APR but -4 THAC0
* Demonskull: fighter helm, +3 THAC0 ('Demonic Focus'), can cast party-friendly Skulltrap 3x/day
* Stygian Plate: armor, -1 AC, 100% ice immunity, freezes attackers solid for 3s unless they save at -1
* Ardent Rage: barb-only cursed scale, AC of 10, when hit: +1 THAC0 & +1 damage (stackable, lasts 30s)
* Troll Hide: generic hide, no AC bonus, gives +1HP/sec., but also sets Fire & Acid resistances to -100%
* Slumbering Sentry: medium shield, +4 AC, heals its wielder for 2d8 when hit, but after a 20-second delay
* Event Horizon: medium shield, no AC bonus, 100% chance to slow attackers for 10 seconds (ignores save)
* The Fortress: tower shield, +6 AC, 35% chance when damaged to bash (stun) the attacker for 1d4 seconds
* Robe of Mnemonic Recall: cursed mage robe, no defensive bonuses, but can refresh arcane spells 2x/day
"Shaft of Blight"
Equipped abilities:
Wielder is immune to poison and disease but has a -2 Charisma penalty.
Once per day, the wielder can make it so that the next successful hit he/she makes with this weapon will cause the target to be stricken by a horrible disease; they get -4 Strength, Constitution and Charisma, and it lasts permanently or until cured. (I'm not a modder, so I'm not sure if the engine has a way of temporarily giving a specific weapon additional properties, but there is definitely one solution: when the ability is activated, it creates a special weapon which looks identical to the Shaft of Blight, but has this disease ability and only exists for one attack)
Damage: 5+2, +an additional 3 poison damage with each hit
THAC0: +2
Damage Type: Crushing
Weapon Type: Quarterstaff
Weight: 2
Speed Factor: 2
Requires: 3 Strength
It would probably be found on the floor on top of the Talonite ziggurat. Perhaps the priests were hoping that Talona would bless the weapon further if they sacrificed Mother Egenia.
...Actually that gives me another idea! Perhaps if this weapon is in the game and you don't get to Mother Egenia fast enough, they should sacrifice her, which means you don't get the experience for freeing her but when you kill the Talonites and retrieve this staff it is more powerful.
Also, I know that this weapon kind of resembles the Serpent Shaft from Baldur's Gate 2, but at least it is sort of different plus you won't just insert it into the halberd.
1. A new, spiritual spear +2 that can magicaly strike from a longer distance that normal weapons. So with it you can fight like a ranged attacker.
2. A spear +1, "The Idea". Once per day as a special attack you can throw it to the enemy, spear then becomes a lightning strike (like a similar mage spell), this lightning can't harm its wielder. (+100% lightning resistance while ability is activated)
3. A +2 short sword with +10% chance of casting "Color Spray" on succesful hit. Taste the rainbow! (or random?)
4. A +3 Axe "Cleaver", if wielder kills a monster he gains +1 attack for 15 seconds. Like a little overpowered "Cleave" feat from dnd 3.5.
5. Magical sword +3 "Enter your cool name here". While it's one handed it's also needs an empty off-hand.
Unique feature is the grapping hook (which sets in pff hand), you can throw it to the enemy to caught them ( on failed save throw) and gets pulled to the wielder (Who said "Get over here!"?)
6. And just for lulz, +2 Club "The Bat". "The Bat" is a simple weapon that can launch a stone +1 to strike enemy (1 lvl spell Magical Stone). It's better if by ability this weapon can work like a sling but with a club profiency , but I guess it's not possible. Anyway another feature is simple, each time owner of weapon makes a critical hit, you can hear a "Homerun" melody.

Benorg's Truth
Benorg was the leader of the clan of dwarves which called Dorn's Deep home. Little is know about his rule, since his demise is clouded in mystery. Presumed dead after the invasion of the Upper Dorn's Deep by an orcish horde, later on dwarven clans throught the Spine of the World claimed him as their ancestor.
Besides its superb craftsmanship, tiny runes of power can be seen etched all along the surface. It's obvious a lot of time and effort went into its creation and although not apparent at first, a slight blue glow can be seen emanating from the runes.
