Scion: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 08:37, 25 June 2009

There are few weapons in the history of Crescent that have ever turned the tide of history. Nyctophobos, Luz Solare, Faithbrand, Dalende Ster and Wassen Ster... All are weapons of great power, yet in the hands of a normal user, these legendary weapons are simply magic items with a small enhancement bonus (usually +1 or +2, or sometimes as high as +3 for the truly powerful). But by taking levels in the scion prestige class, a character can unlock and utilize the weapon’s more advanced powers.

As each legendary weapon is unique, and created to serve its own purpose, there is no Order or guild for their scions.
Anyone may multi-class as a Scion, provided that they meet the entrance requirements, obtain one of the artifacts, and are chosen by that artifact as its next scion.
Note that the Church of the Sun and Moon has in its possession at least three of the known artifact weapons:
- Faithbrand, the sword of Malicean.
- Dalende Ster, the Maul of the Falling Star, and its sister weapon, Wassen Ster, the Lance of the Rising Star, were believed lost when the College of Mages moved the Holy Temple at Mt. Daneasus out of time. With the return of the Temple, it has been confirmed that the pair are in the requilary, preserved for heritage.
Luz Solare, the Beacon of Light, is known to be in the possession of Perrin Forester. Note that the Battleblade scion class described in Swords of Our Fathers is modified slightly to work with a ranged weapon. Download Battlebow Scion .
Nyctophobos was recently recovered by the Companions of the Rising Sun after an encounter with Simone Delcius
