EGEND

DISRUPTOR, SHIELD OF THE MIND SLAYER

To add some additional options to your game,

sometimes a couple pages is all you need. And

legendary items allow you to do just that - add a

new unique item to your game without needing

to pore through pages of material to find just the

right one.

Legendary items come from Purple Duck

Games’ line of books introducing and expanding

the concept of what legendary items are.

Everyone knows the classic story of an untested

youth who inherits or acquires an ancient item

that he learns to wield and carries throughout

his career, but such a story does not seem to have

a place in roleplaying games. Characters more

frequently trade in their family heirloom for a

more powerful item, or instead have to spend

time and resources to improve the weapon.

Many attempts have been made to create a type

of item that could grow with the character, an

item that could be used from the very beginning

of a character’s career all the way until retiring as

a living legend. Purple Duck Games successfully

achieved this with their Legendary Items series

of books. These books immediately gave us at

Dreamscarred Press ideas for some psionic

legendary items to join the ranks.

With the

Psionic Items of Legend

series, you

get one legendary item of a psionic nature. Each

book will present a new legendary item detailing

that item’s history, requirements to attune the

item, and the item’s abilities.

Psionic Items of Legend

Legendary Item Rules

Legendary items follow a standard format and

set of rules, as detailed below.

• Legendary armor, shields, or weapons have

a base legendary value which is usually a +1

enhancement bonus, such as a

+1 shield,

avail-

able even if the wearer is not attuned.

•

For all other legendary items, the legendary

item has a base item ability that the wearer

can use even if he does not meet the require-

ments

•

Each legendary item has requirements neces-

sary to attune it to the wearer.

•

If by 4th level for armor, shields, and weapons,

or 5th level for all other legendary items, the

wearer of the legendary item has met the

requirements needed to attune the item, it

increases in power to its second item level.

• Increasing a legendary item’s power level

occurs automatically once the wielder has

gained the required wielder minimum level

and is attuned to the item. For armor, shields,

and weapons, this is every two character

levels, and for all other legendary items, for

every five character levels.

•

Any psi-like abilities gained through the use

of the legendary item are based on the wear-

er’s highest mental characteristic (Int, Wis, or

Cha).

•

The manifester level for any effects of the item

are based on the wearer’s total Hit Dice.

• Only one owner can be attuned to a legendary

item at any one time. If the owner dies or loses

the item for more than a year and one day or

intentionally parts with it, the item is free to

become attuned to another.

•

A character can only be attuned to one legend-

ary item at a time.

T,

 M S

Thiroc was born into a family who viewed

psionic energy and wielders of it as abominations

who were cursed and must be destroyed. It was

to their dismay that they discovered Thiroc was

naturally gifted with psionics, for he discovered

he could shape a blade from only his own internal

energy. But rather than kill their child, Thiroc’s

parents viewed this as an opportunity to strike

at the cursed psionic creatures that seemed to be

everywhere. So it was that Thiroc was trained

from an early age in the use of his mind blade,

wielding the sword and learning how to sense

those who had psionic talent. Thiroc was taught

that his abilities were magical, a gift from the

gods to strike down these aberrations of nature

who wielded psionic power.

And that was exactly what Thiroc did,

hunting down and killing those individuals

who studied and wielded psionic power.

As his skills grew, Thiroc faced stronger and

more skilled manifesters, and found that his

opponents were more unpredictable and

powerful.

To protect himself, Thiroc had a special shield

crafted that channeled the energy of his mind

blade and could block the psionic attacks that he

faced from his enemies.

It was said that Thiroc could not be struck by

psionic energy as long as he was wielding his

shield

Disruptor

and Thiroc became a feared

predator among the manifesters of his time.

Legend says that Thiroc was stopped not by

a manifester or old age, but by a single stray

arrow, and that the dreaded Mind Slayer was

finally defeated not by the strongest wielders of

psionic energy, but simply by bad luck. What

happened to Thiroc’s special shield, Disruptor,

is unknown, leading his followers to scour the

world for the tool that will help them stop those

who wield psionic energy.

Bonus Feats

Many of the legendary items presented grant

bonus feats. Unless otherwise noted, these bonus

feats remain in effect as long as the owner is

physically wearing the item. The wearer does

not need to meet the prerequisites for these

bonus feats.

Crystalline Shield:

Disruptor

is a

crystal grip

that is fashioned to resemble a shield made of

crystal. It functions as a standard

crystal grip

(detailed below).

Detect Psionics (Ps):

The wielder of

Disruptor

can use

detect psionics

as a psi-like ability at will

as long as he is holding

Disruptor.

Evasion (Ex):

The wielder of

Disruptor

gains

Evasion as a rogue equal to his character level.

Block Ray (Ex):

Starting at item level 6, the

wielder of

Disruptor

adds the shield bonus to his

AC against any ray effects that target him.

Power Resistance (Su):

Once

Disruptor

has

reached item level 6, the wielder gains power

resistance equal to 12 + character level while

wielding

Disruptor.

Improved Evasion (Ex):

The wielder of

Disruptor

gains Improved Evasion as a rogue

equal to his character level.

Absorb Energy (Su):

Starting at item level 8, the

wielder of

Disruptor

can use the crystal shield to

absorb energy from powers manifested against

him and convert that energy into harmless light.

The wielder can choose to use this ability at the

time the effect occurs.

Disruptor

can absorb

up to 5 power points of effects per class level

the wielder possesses per day. If the effect to

be absorbed cost more power points than are

remaining to be absorbed, this ability cannot be

used on that effect. For example, if

Disruptor

wielded by a 17th level soulknife, it can absorb

up to 85 power points worth of effects per day.

If it has already absorbed 80 power points and

the wielder was targeted by an effect that cost 6

power points, the effect could not be absorbed.

Effects that do not cost power points, such as

spells, are not absorbed. Psi-like abilities are

treated as if they cost the creature’s effective

manifester level in power points, even if the

creature did not spend any power points. Effects

that target an area, such as

energy ball

are only

absorbed for the portion that would target the

wielder of

Disruptor;

the remaining area is still

affected normally.

Nullify Power (Su):

At item level 10,

Disruptor

allows its wielder to negate psionic effects

entirely. As a free action,

Disruptor’s

wielder

can make a

dispel psionics

attempt against any

harmful power or effect that would affect him,

including targeting psionic weapons used to

attack him. The manifester level of the

dispel

psionics

check is equal to the wielder’s character

level. After being used, this ability cannot be

used again for two rounds.

DESCRIPtION

crystal grip

looks like a crystalline handle

with nothing attached. A soulknife, or anyone

else with the ability to manifest a mind shield,

channels their mind shield through the

crystal

grip

when summoning it.

This does not

otherwise alter the action needed to summon

a mind shield, the summoner must simply be

wielding the

crystal grip

and choose to manifest

the mind shield through the grip.

Crystal grips

have 45 hit points and a hardness

of 15.

When a mind shield is manifested in this

fashion, the enhancement bonus and the

maximum enhancement bonus of the mind

shield are increased by the enhancement bonus

of the

crystal grip,

although any enhancement

bonus above +5 is lost.

Crystal grips

may only be made with a +1, +2,

or +3 enhancement bonus.
