Research 1 / Name: Skeleton Key
Thread Rank 1: Damage Step 6
Thread Rank 2: +1 to Attacks with the Bow
Item History 3: Must learn the Name of the Troll whose bones were used to make Skeleton Key.
Research 3: Rashu, Troll Thief. Even for a Thief, Rashu was a master at getting into places he shouldn't be.
Thread Rank 3: +1 Rank to Lock Picking
Thread Rank 4: The range of the bow is 2-60 (short range) and 61-120 (long range).
Item History 5: Must learn how the Troll died.
Research 5: Rashu could break in anywhere, but was less skilled at being unnoticed. His Troll strength often let him defeat any guards that tried to catch him. His Troll size meant that when he was killed by a crushing trap while trying to open a door, the resulting cube of compressed Namegiver meat was quite large.
Thread Rank 5: If using the bow to attack a lock, the owner may spend 2 strain. If they do so, and hit, they may make a Lock Picking test in lieu of a Damage test. An additional Karma may be spent on this test.
Thread Rank 6: Damage Step 7
Item History 7: The owner must learn who the first wielder of Skeleton Key was.
Research 7: Skeleton Key was first used by Beluar, Elf Archer. Beluar was a longtime companion of Rashu, who greatly missed both the Thief, and the Thief's skill.
Thread Rank 7: 1 strain for +3 to Lock Picking, Damage Step 8
Thread Rank 8: +2 Ranks to Lock Picking, +2 to Attacks with the bow
The GMs reserve the right to scale back Thread Rank 5 if it proves to be too gamebreaking.Statistics:Posted by Fusilliban — Fri Aug 03, 2018 6:42 pm
