Signature Item for Signal: Supplicant Bonded Heirloom

Post by Signal »

Supplicant: Improved Bonded Heirloom Blade
  • Damage: Strength +2 Damage
  • AP: ∞
  • Notes: +1 Fighting


The true name of this weapon has long been forgotten, but some refer to it in whispers as “Supplicant” due to the depiction of a praying, horned demon worked into the base of the blade. Whatever it was once called, the Supplicant is a fearsome weapon and has found its way into the hands of notorious killers and assassins throughout history. No one has seen it since The Dark Day, and most factions who care about such things believe it to be lost.

Supplicant is large for a knife (just shy of being a true short sword), and it has the unique ability to pass right through armor, clothing and skin, slicing internal organs without leaving any outward mark. This ability makes it almost impossible to treat wounds Supplicant inflicts without the use of magic and tends to hide the cause of its victims’ deaths unless autopsies are performed.

Some scholars of the occult have opined that the blade has a taste for death and that it seeks the hands of killers so as to better feed its own insatiable hunger. When Manny first picks it up, though, he senses something different from the ancient weapon: the Supplicant has hope.
Mechanics
  • Base Item: Knife (Strength + 1d4 damage)
  • Minor: +1 damage (Strength + 2 damage total)
  • Minor: +1 Fighting
  • Major: When wielded by one who has bonded it, this blade passes through armor, clothing and skin, doing internal damage to its victims without leaving any external sign. This allows the weapon to inflict Strength +1 damage AP∞ and ignore all inanimate material, armor and even skin at the price of losing the weapon die in the damage.
