In addition, field plate armor has the ability to absorb damage. For every die of damage that would be inflicted upon the wearer from any attack, physical or magical, the armor will absorb 1 point of that damage. (On a damage die roll of 1, the wearer would take no damage.) For example, the armor will absorb 1 point of damage from the strike of a long sword, and the damage from an ice storm (3-30, or 3d10) would be reduced by 3 points, and the damage from the breath weapon of a 9 HD dragon is reduced by 9 points. However, after the armor absorbs 12 points of damage in this fashion, it is damaged and must be repaired. Until repairs are made, it cannot absorb further damage and is considered one armor class worse in protective power. Damaged field plate armor may be repaired by a trained armorer at a cost of 100 gp per point of absorbing power restored, and one day of time per point restored.

Clay (C) 1 month 65,000gp

This compilation is a treatise on the construction and animation of a golem. It contains all of the information and incantations necessary to make an Iron Golem. It will take a considerable amount of time, and be expensive as well, to construct and animate the golem. During this period, a single magic-user or cleric must have the manual at hand to study, and he or she must not be interrupted.

Once the golem is finished, the writing fades and the book is consumed in flames. When the ashes of the manual are sprinkled upon the golem it becomes fully animated. It is assumed that the user of the manual is of 10th or higher level. For every level of experience under 10th there is a cumulative 10% chance that the golem will fall to pieces within 1 turn of completion of its construction due to the maker’s imperfect understanding. If a cleric reads a work for magic-users, he or she will lose 10,000-60,000 experience points. A magic-user reading a clerical work will lose 1 level of experience. Any other class of character will suffer 6-36 hit points of damage from opening the work.

Protection from Demons: This scroll requires 1 full round to read if it is to protect against all sorts of demons, including demon princes, 7 segments to protect against demons of type VI or lower, and only 3 segments to protect against type III or lower. The circle of protection generated springs out-wards from the scroll reader in a 10’ radius. No demon protected against can penetrate the circle physically or magically or in any way, but the person(s) within can launch attacks, if otherwise possible, upon demons. The protection moves with the reader of the scroll. Its effect lasts for 5-20 (5d4) rounds.

Note that the protection radius is not an actual physical globe, and if the user forces a demon into a place from which further retreat is impossible (e.g., a corner), and then continues forward until the demon would be within the radius of the circle, the demon is not harmed, and the protection is considered voluntarily broken and disappears. There is no way in which this can be used as an offensive weapon.

Protection from Devils: This scroll is nearly identical to the protection from demons scroll. It requires 1 round to read if it is to protect against all kinds of devils, including arch-devils, 7 segments to protect against greater devils or lower, and 3 segments to protect against lesser devils or lower. The circle of protection generated springs out-wards from the scroll reader in a 10’ radius. No devil protected against can penetrate the circle physically or magically or in any way, but the person(s) within can launch attacks, if otherwise possible, upon devils. The protection moves with the reader of the scroll. Its effect lasts for 5-20 (5d4) rounds.

Note that the protection radius is not an actual physical globe, and if the user forces a demon into a place from which further retreat is impossible (e.g., a corner), and then continues forward until the demon would be within the radius of the circle, the demon is not harmed, and the protection is considered voluntarily broken and disappears. There is no way in which this can be used as an offensive weapon.

A weapon can be snagged only if it has protrusions or indentations, but the only smooth weapons for this purpose are daggers, swords, spears, and the like. Just as with snagging an opponent where any hit has a 5% chance to do so, any miss also allows a 5% chance for snagging the opponent’s weapon, if applicable. If an opponent’s weapon is snagged, there is a 10% chance it will be torn from his or her grasp. Failing that, the snagging will either disallow the opponent the opportunity to effectively attack for 10 segments (80%), just as a body/equipment snag would, or else the opponent’s strength and/or leverage would tear the wielder’s grasp (10%).

Because of this weapon’s ancient origin and unusual shape, it is an ideal druidical instrument. The DM should consider placement of both normal and magical khopeshes in the campaign, aiming especially at druidical use. Of all magical scimitars discovered, 10% will be khopeshes.
