Artifact & Ego ideas

Giant's Butcher Knife

Not too sure on the specifics, but it should be a greatsword with bonuses to Str and Con, maybe a little will, and around galvorn rank damage, or maybe mithril or something, I dunno. Only found in carn dum?

Kinda got the idea from soul calibur... ^_^;

[Feanor.81]

Giant's Butcher Knife

Given its name, I would expect it to add bleed effect to its hits, too

[darkgod]

Added some of those, keep them coming!

This dull black ring is completely featureless.

Ring of Tulkas: +0.20 mastery superiority; grants talent Onslaught (+1 level); +3 str; activate for Shattering Shout

Obviously, feel free to change anything you like.

Perhaps you should be able to wear only one ring of the Valar at a time?
(or maybe you could wear two if you pick the rings of two spouses )

Moarrrrrrr

[Hedrachi]

Shelob's Hunger: +3 str, +2 con, -1 wil, +6ish darkness damage but take this 6 out of the normal physical damage for a steel waraxe. Can activate for Free Action costing 20 power of 60.

Text for the artifact would be something like:
The orcs of the Tower of Cirith Ungol learned long ago that if you're not stuck in Shelob's webs, she can't stick you; fill your body full of poison so she can eat you later. You can almost feel the evil of the orcs and their fear of Shelob.

@Repton: Why Feanor now? He had quite a bunch of kids...

@Repton: Why Feanor now? He had quite a bunch of kids...

Um ... yeah ... that's the point? It just struck me as a kind of mirror version of Taxorigan's idea.
