Lords of Arms & Armor, Part II

Additional Arms & Armor Attunements

The one wielded cuts a path to a lord's greater glory.

Using a Higher Level Spell

Increasing the Attune Arms & Armor spell's level can grant additional bonuses. For every 2-level increase, one modifier can increase by 1, whether +1 to hit or damage certain foes with a weapon, or +1 to AC or saves against certain foes via armor. 

For example, casting Attune Arms & Armor as a 5th level spell to make an angel sword could grant a +2 to hit and +1 to damage the evil and disorderly, +2 to both as a 7th level spell, or even +2 to hit and +3 to damage as a 9th level spell.

Weapon & Armor Type

Not all weapon & armor shapes are alike. With the Referee's permission, these commonsense modifiers can apply to just attuned weapons & armor, other magic weapons & armor, or even mundane ones too if they aren't being used already.

Axes: +2 when causing a critical hit, hand axes can also be thrown

Bows: attack foes from afar

Clubs & Maces: can be used to subdue instead

Daggers: can be easily hidden or thrown

Hammers: can ignore up to 2 AC of metal armor

Spears: gain a +1 bonus to hit and to damage mounted and/or charging foes, can be hurled too

Slings: can be easily hidden and can be thrown

Swords: +1 to AC vs. one attack from the front per round, thanks to parrying

Take hold of what sustains you.

Ways of Arms & Armor
They harm or protect against:
* Angelic: the evil and the disorderly
* Fey: the evil and the orderly
* Elemental: those who embody two other elements or non-neutral alignments
* Demonic: the good and the orderly
* Devilish: the good and the disorderly

Lords of Blastings, Part III

Blasting Tests

Divine might can be too much for mortal wielding.

1-6.  The blasting fails to meet its mark. The spell instead targets a random individual in range, possibly including the caster. Whoever it hits will certainly consider it to be quite a pain in the backside.

7-12. Magic of a different color, it has the effect of a different type of lord. What would be devilish, might be angelic; what would be elemental fire, would be elsewise, much to the target's (and the caster's) surprise. Roll 1d5, rerolling to get another besides one's own lord in this case if need be: [1] angelic, [2] fey,
[3] elemental, [4] demonic, [5] devilish.

Additional Blasting Results

There's more than one way to smite one's enemies.

Using a Higher Level Spell

As alluded to in Part I, the Blasting spell's level can also be increased beyond 1st. Doing so can compound the range, damage, or individuals affected for each level its raised.

For example, making its range 120', targeting 2 individuals in range instead of one, or adding 1d6 to the damage would make Blasting a 2nd level spell. Compounding two of those three options would make it a 3rd level spell.

Things arising are phenomenal.

Ways of Blastings
They can:
* Angelic: be used in defense to harm the unrighteous
* Fey: cause much misfortune
* Elemental: harm via an element
* Demonic: create great suffering
* Devilish: be hard to detect

Lords of Blessings & Curses, Part III

Blessing & Curse Tests

What one asks for may not be all that's provided.

1-4. The Bestow Blessing & Curse spell will be barred from the petitioner for the next 1d3 days. Similar spells may still work (a 66% chance), though they remain subject to their own divine tests.

5-12. Forsooth, the next blessing or curse the petitioner casts is reversed. A target intended blessed is now cursed with the opposite effect. Vice versa for the one to be so cursed. Boon and bane shift by the judgment of the gods.

Additional Blessing & Curse Results
Whether via divine test or the Bestow Blessing & Curse spell, divinities and cults can make their pleasure (and displeasure) known.

Specifically for the Blessing & Curse spell, once what occurs has been determined and if the Magical Side-Effect allows (see Part I), the caster can then select what specifics happen. He may experience unique effects via his lord too if a result of 'other' occurs. See below.

Using a Higher Level Spell

As mentioned before, the spell's level can be increased beyond 1st no matter what the initial result of the Blessing & Curse spell is. Doing so can boost its range, allow additional effects to occur, allow more individuals to be affected, or increase the duration of the effects. With the Referee's permission, a prepared higher level spell can then be considered expended instead when Bestow Blessing & Curse is cast to cause a higher level effect. Even in these cases, Bestow Blessing & Curse would still be prepared as a 1st level spell.
