54. Mordancy, of: Whosoever wields
this weapon notices that damage
does not occur as they suspect, but
for each successful attack, a random
limb is somehow bitten off and swallowed
by the weapon. The weapon
is unable to be used in the following
round because it is picking bones.
The following round, the weapon
will inexplicably eject the bones into
the air, along with a festering
vomitous mass. The weapon engages
in an act of devourment unlike
anything ever witnessed by a
human eye, or any other body part.
Therefore, this weapon is capable of
devouring a limb once every 4
rounds. This weapon will never
speak unless someone asks it, “What
do you feel like doing” In this case,
it will calmly reply, “killing people.”
55. Mutation, of: Whosoever wields
this weapon will notice that anytime
a creature is slayed with this weapon,
there is a mutation of the cadaver
of the victim. First the murderer
must pass a Health check at TH 18
or the cadaver and the murderer instantly
switch faces. Regardless of
what happens to the cadaver, exactly
23 days later the murderer must pass
a Reflection, Common Sense, and
Enunciation sub-ability check at TH
6, 6, and 6, or the cadaver and the
murderer also exchange minds.
Once this occurs, they will feel as
though they are staring through the
eyes of the dead.
56. Mutilation, of: Whosoever wields
this weapon will desire not to only
murder their victim, but to artistically
mutilate the corpse. This artistic
creation takes 1d100 rounds. To
the wielder of this weapon, carving
and rearranging has never been so
fun. Each time a victim is mutilated
to satisfaction, the wielder must
dance around the cadaver singing “a
decorated splatter brightens the
room.”
57. Nocturnality, of: Whosoever possesses
this weapon will prefer to be
active at night or in darkness and
inactive during the day or light.
When wielding this weapon, a bonus
or penalty is applied to attack
skill checks (but not damage) depending
on the hour of the day or
amount of light. Consult the table
