Sword basics:
  • +14/+14 Sword, sunfire on blade is +5/+5, but can be turned off.
  • Control/call lions, leons del sol, narasimhas, 'Kanian lions, cave lions, yalis, and stone lions, but not snow lions or merlions.
  • causes the wielder to feel intense pride every time they accomplish something; can be a flaw
  • improves senses +3 smell, +3 hearing, +3 sight
  • gives men manes
  • gives women +6 hunting
  • amplifies voice - "roar" - if you roar while brandishing this, you can be heard for 100 miles around
  • allows user to Choose a Pride, if user is an alpha female. Chosen Pride-members gain a +3 bonus based on their Pride-name
Mastery:
  • all Iniselis have Sword bonuses Da'sabash has--senses, hunting, roar, lion control, pride
  • Sword cannot hurt Iniselis--will pass right through them as if they are air--though Da'sabash, being their leader, can take away (or grant) their citizenship, it must be formalized to work--citizenship ceremonies in Inisel take a year to complete, but deportation can be pretty quick (note: banishing an Iniseli does not revoke their citizenship; deportation is a different, more serious matter)
  • +6/+6 more vs. creatures of Famine
  • any Iniseli may wield the Sword without losing the Mastery
  • Da'sabash and Khal'maqua, as Manifests, now have a fourth form: hul'asad, a leonine form (see below for details)
  • Da'sabash and Khal'maqua have Lady Midday's dust devil form (see below for details)
  • planting the Sword in fertile ground will turn it into a desert for 10 miles around
  • Sword can create sunfire corona--an aura about the Sword that is intensely more hot than the Sword itself--+16/+16 more; once a year
  • The Heart can feed the Sword without rolling, increasing to-hit or stun/wound rolls by +3 at WIL; this doesn't take up a turn during battle and can be used repeatedly, but will go away once the Sword has killed someone
  • Pride can feed the Heart without rolling outside of battle (in battle, it rolls vs. 25-6 like normal) for any affect on Iniselis; you do roll Gift to create the effect, just not to convert the energy--but most effects are easier, assuming they are appropriate (i.e., you're not trying to kill your people or turn them into fish)
  • Pointing the Sword at someone can force them to admit acts of dishonor (roll Gift vs. WIL)
  • Chosen Pride bonuses go up to +4 for non-Iniselis, +6 for Iniselis
  • Any Iniseli can control desert landscapes at a power of 10+; if wielding the Sword, roll Gift instead
Hul'asad:
  • The leonine form is quadropedal, but the forelegs have opposable thumbs. They can stand on their rear legs (called being "rampant"), but it's not ideal; ideal is more of a crouched stance with a quadropedal run
  • Males are maned
  • STR+5
  • Smell/hearing/sight+5
  • Fangs/teeth +3/+3
  • ATH+5
  • Hul'asad can see in the dark and sense water no matter how miniscule the amount
Hul'zobaal:
  • The dust devil form is unique because of the Mastery, no other Iniseli can or will take this form besides Da'sabash and Khal'maqua
  • Read people 25 or +10, whichever is higher
  • Cause neck pain (WIL)
  • Cause sunstroke (WIL)
  • Cause fever (WIL)
  • Wind strength is STR
  • You do NOT have the child, woman, or crone forms, nor the shears/scythes, nor demonic essence. This form is NOT evil.
  • Desert control Gift+6
  • Sword must be carried by another while in this form; if a non-Iniseli takes the Sword while you are in this form, you turn into mundane wind and, well, die, basically
