Category:Gore Weapons: Difference between revisions

Gore weapons are any weapon that has been imbued with the ability to collect gore in combat. What this means is that as the weapon is used the description of the weapon changes to display the collection of blood and flesh. The more the weapon is used the more "gore" it collects. There are several levels of gore that can be accumulated.

The following list is from least to greatest:

a bearded war axe.

a bearded war axe that has flecks of blood on it.

a bearded war axe that is splattered with blood.

a bearded war axe that is smeared with blood.

a bearded war axe that is slick with blood.

a bearded war axe that is bloody and dotted with bits of bone.

a bearded war axe that is dripping with blood and bits of fatty tissue.

a bearded war axe that is covered with blood and strips of flesh.

a bearded war axe that is drenched with blood and dangling entrails.

a bearded war axe that is slathered with blood and gore.

There are three verbs that are attached to any weapon that has been imbued with gore properties. They are clean, lick, and wave as these verbs are used the level of gore is reduced to a previous level. So, if you wave the weapon it would go from slathered with blood and gore to drenched with blood and dangling entrails. If you were then to clean the weapon it would decrease yet another level from drenched with blood and dangling entrails to covered with blood and strips of flesh. Leaving the weapon sheathed always decays the amount of gore on the weapon over time. The verbs have an effect whether or not the weapon has accumulated gore.

Verbs with no gore:

Clean:
You carefully clean off a bearded war axe with a carved bone handle.
It's as clean as it's going to get.

Wave:
You wave a bearded war axe with a carved bone handle in front of you slowly, allowing all to see the power you wield.

Lick: (This effect is typical of licking any bladed weapon and not an effect of a gore weapon.)
You cut yourself licking a bearded war axe with a carved bone handle.
Stunned 20 seconds!

Verbs with gore:

Clean:
You carefully clean off a bearded war axe with a carved bone handle that is spattered with blood.

or

You carefully clean off a bearded war axe with a carved bone handle.
It's as clean as it's going to get.

Wave:
You raise a bearded war axe with a carved bone handle and then with a quick motion bring it downwards, slinging the gore everywhere!

Lick:
You extend your tongue and drag it over the surface of a bearded war axe with a carved bone handle, tasting the blood of your enemies and find it sweet and satisfying!

There are a few things to note.

• Gore provides only an aesthetic change. It does not change the functionality of the weapon.

• Gore cannot be placed on a weapon that already has a special attribute.

• Gore cannot be placed on brawling weapons, as of yet.

• If you ever alter a gore weapon the GM doing the alteration should be notified the weapon is a gore weapon to avoid overiding the visual effects of gore.
