Magical Item: Ram Strike Maul




Amorti is a maul, sized like a mace or a hand axe, with an iron head. Both sides of the head have a hammer, neither are spiked. The heads show little signs of use. There is some discoloration (not rust), but no scratches or dents. It will show up as a high powered magical item on a Detect Magic/Sense Magic check.

WarHammer Stats:
+10 WS, +2 Damage, +10 Parry, Ram Strike S times per day.

This hit will break any body armor and render the part of the body hit as useless for d6 minutes. Any creature may attempt a T check to remain standing.  If the maul hits a shield on a parry, the shield will be destroyed.  The shield arm will be numb and useless for d6 minutes. The PC must declare use of the power before rolling to hit. A miss does not use up a use of the power, but the power will automatically be activated for the next hit.

D&D Stats:
+2 magical weapon (+2 to hit, +2 damage). Small bonus to parry, if parrying rules are used. Ram Strike STR/3 times per day. 

This hit will knock over and stun an opponent for d6 rounds. A stunned opponent may only parry. Any creature may attempt a CON check to remain standing.  [Optional rule for systems that have shield rules] If a there is a Ram Strike on a shield, the shield will be destroyed.  The shield arm will be numb and useless for d6 rounds. The PC must declare use of the power before rolling to hit. A miss does not use up a use of the power, but the power will automatically be activated for the next hit.

Note: The Ram Strike may also be used on inanimate objects, such as doors. The hit smashes a wooden door to splinters and cracks a stone door, making in unstable and able to easily be rammed through.  Ask your GM how long it would take to smash through a castle wall (usually multiple days worth of hits).

[D&D 5e] Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden 17

The party left the ice fortress to check out the dead body we heard was frozen in the ice halfway up the island. The body was of Nas. It turned out she was still there in spirit, and she possessed Vael. In Vael’s body, she went after the Codicil that Ylenn had her face stuck in. When Vael couldn’t get to Ylenn, Nas possessed Prax instead. Prax also couldn’t get there, as Ylenn cast Hold Person on him, and the rest of the party dragged him away from Nas’ dead body. After he was far enough away, the spirit had to return to the dead body…which Morgan had burned to a crisp. We got the orb containing Professor Scant from Nas’ dead body. We circled the island, looking for the whale or another good way off. We couldn’t find one. Ylenn said she could summon the whale, if we could just last the night. We made a lean-to to sleep in and keep cover from the roc. As an octopus, Morgan was able to get some sail from a sunken ship to cover our lean-to. He also was able to find a huge treasure che

The Gathering Storm Complete Play Report

 (I have merged all my Gathering Storm posts into this one for easy access) [WFRP 1e] The Gathering Storm 1   A Quest from A Merchant   Kraft was contacted by a local member of the Merchant’s Guild. He was given the party’s name by one of his financers, von Bruner. It seems a member of the guild traveled to Stormdorf to sell a few loads of coal. The merchant should have returned by now, and the guild is getting worried. They would like to know the whereabouts of the merchant, Florian Wechsler, and the return of his guild ring if he is no longer alive.   They party accepted the quest without hesitation. The merchant felt compelled to inform them that things are very wet in Stormdorf, as it rains a lot. He suggested making sure they had hooded cloaks and/or wide brimmed hats.   The group returned to the dwarves, hoping against hope that they could find some rain gear on the cheap. The dwarves were planning to go to Stormdorf themselves to sell some coal after visiting Grunwald Lodge. The
