Chest-Breaker - Hofstaring Treeleaper


Recommended Posts

Just curious if anyone has posted stats for the spear Chest-Breaker?

"Hofstaring Treeleaper gsW Hofstaring was the greatest king the Culbrea ever had. Over 100 years old when he fought Starbrow’s Rebellion, he was famous for his leaping ability and his incredible magic spear Chest-Breaker that fought on its own. He was almost killed when the Empire sacked Boldhome but escaped with his leap. Beloved by the Storm God, King Hofstaring summoned the great flood that destroyed the Lunar Army before the Hill of Orlanth Victorious. It is a source of great shame for the Culbrea that Hofstaring’s soul suffers in a Lunar Hell rather than serving as a thane of the gods as he deserves."

This is understood to be a different spear than that of Berevenenos' with the same name.

Sorry if it was already posted!

Not sure if that is THE Chest-breaker, as it's been in a tomb since the EWF days. Then again I've lost count of how many adventurers I've met who own Balastor's Axe.

There's also Andrinor in that same place:

Quote

Andrinor: This javelin can fly on its own accord,
leaping from its wielder’s hands or even when set
aside, so long as it is range. The chance of success
is equal to the wielder’s normal Javelin skill. If it
misses and is not stuck into the ground or into
a solid surface (roll the wielder’s POW×5), it
can be re-directed the next round. When first
handled, this javelin requires a successful POW 15
resistance roll to master, but other than its magical
properties, is otherwise identical to a normal
javelin with 16 hit points. A fair price paid for it
might net the seller 1,000 L, or even more.

So there are two items with the powers of this Chest-breaker that you describe divided between them.

In my game I kept making the owner of Andrinor make his POW vs 15 roll every time he used it, and when he failed, it flew off and said goodbye. It might come back some time.
