MET LARP SRD
(2013 BNS MET System)
Bastone Diabolico
Description
By enchanting a sturdy leg bone, the necromancer creates a weapon that can injure enemies on either side of the Shroud. Unfortunately, the first use of this weapon is to murder its donor, and thus the fabrication of a devil-stick costs the necromancer more than simply time or blood.
System
To create a Bastone Diabolico, the necromancer must acquire a clean, rune-carved thighbone from a human subject, enchanting that bone in dark rituals. Thereafter, the necromancer has a permanent weapon, which can be used against enemies in the physical world or within the Shadowlands.
The Bastone Diabolico deals 2 normal damage (Errata: 1 Damage). This weapon is an improvised weapon, possessing the Fast quality. In addition, each successful blow against a vampire removes 1 point of that vampire’s Blood, and a successful blow against a wraith removes 1 point of that wraith’s Pathos. Unfortunately for the necromancer, ghosts can sense a Bastone Diabolico. They tend to stay away from individuals carrying one, causing such a character to have a -1 penalty to all test pools to summon or control wraiths. A necromancer can have only one Bastone Diabolico in existence at any time. Creating a new one causes the old one to disintegrate.
