Need 2 more legacy weapons/items
So Weapons of Legacy has 48 items in it, most of them weapons. My irrational preference for round numbers demands 2 more. Book of Nine Swords introduces 8 new ones and retcons Desert Wind to be linked to the martial discipline of the same name, but i think I'll just turn Desert Wind's slot into a "1 of the 9 sword" slot, as there are already enough swords among the list already/ Expedition to Castle Ravenloft introduces 2 new ones, good number, but both are undead, kinda build of the setting lore that won't apply as well outside the module, and one of them is a sword, so I think I'll leave them there.
So what 2 items of legacy would you add to the base 48 to make it a round 50?Last edited by Boci; 2022-07-05 at 07:05 PM.

Re: Need 2 more legacy weapons/items
I think it would be pretty funny to have a siege weapon of legacy. "This great catapult was my father's and his father's before him. I now pass it down to you, that you may appoint a crew of unnamed soldiers to aim it at the walls of your enemies fortresses, as did your ancestors before you."
Some kind of legacy spellbook could be interesting. Maybe patterned off Tom Riddle's diary, or the Akura advancement books from Cradle.
Maybe a legacy lance? I'm not sure if there's something in the book that's specifically for mounted types, though there are certainly a number of spear-ish weapons.
I don't think there's a legacy spiked chain, and the spiked chain has a special place in my heart as a weapon that is both a) reasonably unique and b) something people have a mechanical reason to use. Maybe something based on chain devils?
Though honestly, weapons of legacy are really something that should be created ad hoc based on the campaign, or at least the setting. Unlocking the legacy powers of your ancestor's might axe is cooler than writing a backstory where your ancestor had a really might quarterstaff because that happens to be the weapon of legacy that gives the bonuses you want for your build.

Re: Need 2 more legacy weapons/items
Minds Eye had 2 Weapons of Legacy on their website. Same source item but it was different depending on caster vs semi melee gish.

One cool thing the caster version of Arik's Vengeance -- Staff gives is it gives something like a Psicrystal with a personality (thus something like an initiative bonus or a fort save boost), yet it is not a full Psicrystal if you are afraid of your Psicrystal dying.Stupendous Man drawn by Linklele

White Plume Mountain has 3 weapons of legacy, and the supplement Outside White Plume Mountain has another.
