Temporary

Enchantment

By Barak Blackburn

Problem: Your party is going into the

Forgotten Crypt of Tej Hael. You have

already encountered minions of this corrupt

fallen priest. Your ﬁghters were not very

effective against the wraiths.

Old Solution: Head to “town” and buy a

weapon with the ghost touch ability.

Problem with the old solution: Magic

items become almost disposable, and

interchangeable, with a party “powering

up” before each adventure. At higher

levels, if a ﬁghter type does not have the

requisite weapons that can best damage a

foe, they serve no purpose other than to

take damage, while the casters rip it up

with their spells.

New Solution: Temporary enchantments.

Temporary enchantments allow spellcasters

to temporarily enchant the weapons of their

comrades to give them a ﬁghting chance.

It maintains the mystique of Magic Items,

while at the same time giving parties

available solutions to combat speciﬁc

threats. These spells should be considered

rare -- a spellbook containing them should

be considered a Treasure unto itself.

Enchantment Descriptions

Flaming:

Upon command, a ﬂaming weapon is sheathed in ﬁre.

The ﬁre does not harm the wielder. The effect remains

until another command is given. A ﬂaming weapon

deals an extra 1d6 points of ﬁre damage on a success-

ful hit. Bows, crossbows, and slings so crafted bestow

the ﬁre energy upon their ammunition.

Anarchic:

An anarchic weapon is chaotically aligned and in-

fused with the power of chaos. It makes the weapon

chaos-aligned and thus bypasses the corresponding

damage reduction. It deals an extra 2d6 points of

damage against all of lawful alignment. It bestows

one negative level on any lawful creature attempting

to wield it. The negative level remains as long as the

weapon is in hand and disappears when the weapon is

no longer wielded. This negative level never results in

actual level loss, but it cannot be overcome in any way

(including restoration spells) while

the weapon is wielded. Bows, cross-

bows, and slings so crafted bestow the

chaotic power upon their ammunition.

Frost:

Upon command, a frost weapon is sheathed in icy

cold. The cold does not harm the wielder. The ef-

fect remains until another command is given. A frost

Axiomatic:

An axiomatic weapon is lawfully

aligned and infused with the power of

law. It makes the weapon law-aligned

and thus bypasses the corresponding

damage reduction. It deals an extra

2d6 points of damage against all of

chaotic alignment. It bestows one

negative level on any chaotic creature

attempting to wield it. The negative

level remains as long as the weapon

is in hand and disappears when the

weapon is no longer wielded. This

negative level never results in actual

level loss, but it cannot be overcome

in any way (including restoration

spells) while the weapon is wielded.

Bows, crossbows, and slings so

crafted bestow the lawful power upon

their ammunition.

Bane:

A bane weapon excels at attack-

ing one type or subtype of creature.

Against its designated foe, its effec-

tive enhancement bonus is +2 better

than its normal enhancement bonus.

It deals an extra 2d6 points of dam-

age against the foe. Bows, crossbows,

and slings so crafted bestow the bane

quality upon their ammunition.

weapon deals an extra 1d6 points of cold damage on a

successful hit. Bows, crossbows, and slings so crafted

bestow the cold energy upon their ammunition.

Ki Focus:

The magic weapon serves as a channel for the

wielderʼs ki, allowing her to use her special ki attacks

through the weapon as if they were unarmed attacks.

These attacks include the monkʼs stunning attack, ki

strike, and quivering palm, as well as the Stunning

Fist feat. Only melee weapons can have the ki focus

ability.

Ghost Touch:

A ghost touch weapon deals damage normally against

incorporeal creatures, regardless of its bonus. (An in-

corporeal creatureʼs 50% chance to avoid damage does

not apply to attacks with ghost touch weapons.) The

weapon can be picked up and moved by an incorpore-

al creature at any time. A manifesting ghost can wield

the weapon against corporeal foes. Essentially, a ghost

touch weapon counts as either corporeal or incorporeal

at any given time, whichever is more beneﬁcial to the

wielder.

Shock:

Upon command, a shock weapon is sheathed in

crackling electricity. The electricity does not harm

the wielder. The effect remains until another com-

mand is given. A shock weapon deals an extra 1d6

points of electricity damage on a successful hit. Bows,

crossbows, and slings so crafted bestow the electricity

energy upon their ammunition.

Holy:

A holy weapon is imbued with holy power. This

power makes the weapon good-aligned and thus by-

passes the corresponding damage reduction. It deals an

extra 2d6 points of damage against all of evil align-

ment. It bestows one negative level on any evil crea-

ture attempting to wield it. The negative level remains

as long as the weapon is in hand and disappears when

the weapon is no longer wielded. This negative level

never results in actual level loss, but it cannot be over-

come in any way (including restoration spells) while

the weapon is wielded. Bows, crossbows, and slings

so crafted bestow the holy power upon their ammuni-

tion.

Unholy:

An unholy weapon is imbued with unholy power.

This power makes the weapon evil-aligned and thus

bypasses the corresponding damage reduction. It deals

an extra 2d6 points of damage against all of good

alignment. It bestows one negative level on any good

creature attempting to wield it. The negative level re-

mains as long as the weapon is in hand and disappears

when the weapon is no longer wielded. This negative

level never results in actual level loss, but it cannot

be overcome in any way (including restoration spells)

while the weapon is wielded. Bows, crossbows, and

slings so crafted bestow the unholy power upon their

ammunition.
