help with Amazon items of power

Postby Pholtus » Sat Apr 21, 2012 7:12 pm

Greetings All,

So my DC game will have a new character show up, Theo Trevor. Son of Steve Trevor and the plan is to send him and the rest of the heroes in the Underworld to recover the soul of Robert Troy Long (Donna's Son), before the servants of Aries can get they hands on him. I want to give him some items of power from the Amazons to let him sort of hold his own in battle. Any suggestions?

I worked out the Gauntlet of Atlas. Just wondering if the the Sandals of Hermes, should just grant flight or if the should also boost agility. Also I need a cool weapon Sword and Spear are done to death but they are also very Greek any other suggestions?

If you want to go with the Sandals of Hermes granting a sort of super-speed effect, Enhanced Agility, Quickness, and Flight are probably the way to go.

I recently built a character who used a xiphos (greek sword) of Zeus that had a Blast (lightning) effect as the main power, then with Strength-based Damage to represent the sword's actual blade. Affects Insubstantial reflects its magical nature, and you could certainly justify quite a few ranks of Improved Critical as well.

As for a Spear, maybe a throwing spear that, when thrown, actually splits into dozens. Multiattack Blast, or maybe Blast with Shapeable Area.

I know that Nubia pre-crisis had a sword that could counter Wonder Woman's golden lasso.

Maybe you could rework that to counter Ares or some aspect of the Dead Realm.

So for my DC adventures game, Diana is dead and has joined the Gods on Mount Olympus. I plan on introducing a male secondary character to the Wonder Woman Family. Ares is making his own Mortal champion sort of like how Wonder Woman was made from clay, and granted powers by the vcarious greek goods.

The end goal is that Robert Troy Longs soul will be saved from the Underworld (ie like the Orpheus myth) by Theo Trevor and the rest of the PC's and his soul will end up in Ares would be vessel before he can get one of his own.

For the story I need someone to grant Theo Amazonian items of power so that the mortal can sort of hold his own with the rest of the heroes. I have Gauntlet of Atlas and the Sandals of Hermes,to begin with as they are both items in the WW lore already. I just need an weapon, I am leaning towards either the Lasso of Ares or maybe a Spear. I also need to figure out how to get all of these items into the hands of Theo.

There's always the labrys, if you don't want the traditional spear/sword. Also, an aspis would make the character stand out a bit more, especially if it was Zeus or Athena's Aegis.

Can't be the Aegis as that is what was used to create Diana's bracers. How about the Blade of Perseus?

I have a player that is Greek themed, he uses the Hammer of Hesphaestus. The way we buit it it just does damage, but I could see it having the power to create objects too if you want.

The earrings that Diana had that provided life support.
