Gae Bolg
With the exception of Caliburn, Gae Bolg, ‘the spear that precedes the death’ is the best known of all weapons of legend.   It was the eighth to be created by the northern clan, for which the backbone of a great beast imbued with the power of the spiritual world was used. It is considered a link with the world beyond and there are some priests who also associate it with Lilium the Sacred Valley.  It is a perfect weapon so infallible that can only bring death. Its first appearance is dated just over two millennia ago, and has since been used by some of the most important warriors in history.

Gae Bolg is a beautiful spear decorated with painstaking detail at its tip, though not as spectacular as other weapons of legend.  Its most striking feature is that by fighting with it his point seems to have its own life, as it can twist and turn steadily to reach its target.  After having passed from hand to hand throughout the centuries it is now a descendant of the Sidhe Lim who serves the girl empress which presently owns it.
Linkage: Game Bolg resonates with the need, the desire to overcome and to obtain a higher power.

Fable: 80 / 180 / 240

Quality: The Gae Bolg is a spear with a +15 Quality bonus capable of damaging energy.
Heart Taker: Gae Bolg attempt to pierce the heart of their adversary. Any attacks targeted at the heart apply only one -10 penalty on the weilders offensive ability.(this ability name didnt translate, I used 'Heart taker' as a place holder)
Unable to err (Notion of Use 2): True to the myth, the Gae Bolg can not fail and irretrievably always reaches its target, because even when diverted or removed from its target, the entire launch twists continually changing direction to hit him. Consequently, whenever the holder by Gae Bolg makes an attack with it and fails to best his opponents defence, the weapon replaces ability of its owner by a final score of 320, although doing so reduces the weapon's damage by half.  This effect is not considered an additional attack at all, but simply a recalculated result with the skill.  Unable to err will not work if the character makes multiple attacks, make a targeted hit or maneuver of combat, or uses a technique or skill Magnus or similar skill which requires Ki.
Celthar Lwin (Notion of Use 3): When released, the tip of the spear becomes incandescent and  illuminates anything that crosses in its path until it reaches its goal. A gaming effects, Game Bolg can throw up a maximum distance of 250 feet as permitted by the wielders Strength bonus, increasing Both its damage and attack skill by +50. In addition, The attack affects everyone who is in line drawn between the shooter and his target. By using this attack, Gae Bolg completely ignores the armor of the defender.

Gae Bolg is f****** brutal!

Hopefully my players don't run afoul of this Claire chick.

Please watch your language - Planeswalker

[Sirhas]

"Atraviesacorazones" could be translated loosely as Heartseeker or Heartpiercer, whichever you prefer.

Regarding Celthar Lúin, the maximum range is 250m plus the effective range derived from the user's Strength mod.

[Giantcavecrab]

Thanks again Sirhas !!

I was close though !! :-)

If they're Empire-affiliated, they should be fine.

Azur Alliance, on the other hand....

While I appreciate the effort of translating and posting, is it really necessary to create a new topic for each one of these artifacts? Also I think these posts would belong more in the Gaia subforum than the news subforum

[tasuret]

We're currently working on getting it put in one place. I'm working on translating the first couple of chapters as I post, but I do agree that the Gaia subforum is a better place, but honestly it might have its home in the Game Rules subforum.

[Giantcavecrab]

Bit rough but I was partly through it anyway.  Last one   The Colonels shiney fist.

Hephastios
Hephastios, The Flame God's arm is an ancient artifact that allows its bearer to control the power of flames. Although not much is known of their origins, some historians recently considered these part of the Thirteen Weapons of Legend because it was created by the clan of the North, but if so, little is what is known of their original bearers.

The object itself is a gauntlet that leads to the shoulder manufactured completely of the alloy of Malebolgia, ancestral dragon bone, and gold. At first sight it may not  seem an artifact created for combat but little more than mere decoration. However, when Hephastios is coated completely in bloody flame it  becomes a terrifying weapon for its master.

At this time the object is in possession of the forces Azur Les Jaeger, and given its monstrous capabilities, it is not surprising it will be intended for use in the conflict to come.

Fable: 180 / 240 / 280

Quality: Hephastios is considered an item +15 quality. However it grants no direct bonus to the initiative of the bearer, but increases his Base damage by +30 and reduces armor by 3 points when used in combination with arts Martial or unarmed combat.
Ki enhancer (Notion of Use 3): When the user enters into communion with the Gauntlet his domain skills are increased significantly.  Consequently, this increases his accumulations of Ki in Strength, Power and Will by +1. It is capable of generating a pool of 20 points of generic Ki which may be removed by the wearer if he possesses the ability Ki transmission. (not 100% on this interpretation)
Martial Domain: To learn how to use the skills Eternal Flame, Ifrit and Hephastios Crest the Gauntlet carrier must spend 20 Martial Knowledge points.
Eternal Flame (Notion of Use 2): Hephastios can create Heavy flames which could consume almost anything, Except his own carrier. At will the master of the gauntlet can spend 2 points of Ki each assault to turn it on, increasing its base damage by +10, +5 to breakage and allows it to attack using the Fire secondary. This ability is automatic (passive?) and does not require that the holder accumulate Ki to activate it.
Ifrit (Notion of Use 3): By consuming 5 points of Ki the gauntlet can launch a wave of intense flames to incinerate its enemies. This ability shoots a volley of fire to a distance of 100 meters using the character's attack skill with damage base equal to twice their presence plus their Will bonus. This ability is a full attack action, but does not required that the bearer accumulates to activate it.
Hephastios Crest (notion of use 3): Consuming 10 points of Ki the wielder can accumulate all their power within the gauntlets fist, allowing them to expend their power in a devastating attack.  Adding their will bonus to their attack which does double damage. This ability is a full attack action, but does not require that the holder accumulates to activate it.
Immunity to the Flames: The bearer of Hephastios ignores the effects intensities up to 20 in fire. If you receive an attack based on heat, this falls 100 points and applies a +100 bonus to any resistance against the effects of the flames.

Power Level: 3 +

[Sirhas]

Gah, missed Hephastios.

Here we go:

Quality: Doesn't add to Initiative or Attack.
Ki Enhancer: the artefact has a 20 Generic Ki reserve the wearer can tap into if he has the ability Ki Tranmission.
Eternal Flames: correct. No accumulation required.
Hephastios Crest: When used, the wearer adds twice his Willpower mod to his attack and damage.
 

[Imban]

Couldn't you have just linked this?

[Spirit_Crusher]

Any clue about what "full attack action" means?
Does it allow to defend? does it allow to use a ki tecnique to further boost the attack? I suppose it does not allow to throw other attacks the same round.

[Sirhas]

Full Attack, from the GM Screen: +30 Atk, Defense is 0 for the round.

[Zeru]

No, it is referring to a full attack action, not the maneuver.

This means you cannot perform any additional attacks within the round.

[Spirit_Crusher]

No, it is referring to a full attack action, not the maneuver.

This means you cannot perform any additional attacks within the round.

I was suspecting thisZeru. And what about adding another ki tech to hephastios krest?
I would rule it out, but am not so sure.
