Help! Unique Weapon Set Ideas and help requested to make it happen (Evil Shit Inside)

Since the items are going to be immensely powerful, they should all have a different draw backs on them (hey, they were made from an evil necromancer). Each of these weapons is a test of the wielder so only the true ruler of wraeclast can use them. The axe is a physical test, the dagger a mental test, and the bow a spiritual test.

The axe could have slower attack and movement speed while wielding it (maybe -50% attack and movement speed). The necromancer intended that this weapon will only be wielded by the true ruler of wraeclast, all others will be cursed by being physically burdened.

The dagger would have a chance to hit yourself instead of the enemy (maybe a 5 or 10% chance that all damage inflicted on the enemy will be inflicted on yourself instead). The wielder of the dagger is in a constant struggle of control with the necromancer. Every once and a while the spirit of the necromancer breaks your concentration and lashes out at you in spite.

The bow would have a global skill cost multiplier (maybe 200%). The necromancer made this weapon to test the very will of the wielder, making each action he or she does feel more taxing spiritually. The wielder can feel the pain and suffering of each creature slain by the bow, making each pull of the bowstring harder then the last.

Nice! The ideas are gd. I like the chance to hit yourself and the constant curse for each item.

Maybe we can have then have a 5%-%10 chance to apply puncture on the wielder. That would work well with the blood magic necro idea. Pay with there blood, literally.

I like this idea
I've always thought a hand-like sword would be cool

to keep to the sort of insatiable hunger theme, a helmet might be cool, it could look like a mouth or something.
I'll sketch what I mean and post some pics x)

I gotta say though, the whole soul fragment thing is a little generic, It could work though


Edits:

if people have some cool ideas for the way an item could look, and don't feel like drawing, ill sketch up a draft if I like the idea x)
(perhaps diamond guys in particular, designing their things)

Idk why the images are so dam big
they were drawn much smaller (you can tell by blue textbook lines)

I've thought a circular axe would be cool, also it allows for a big ass space for the face Reaper mentioned.


this one might be a little unclear,
it would be like a twisted dismembered hand...with a blade
thus making it a dagger

powerful bow (like Odysseus)

I thought about this also. It could be simliar to the colossal great bows in Dark Souls.

I want a bow which makes you run slower, attack slower, and perhaps have a huge + to aoe and or damage.

FULL SCREEN ARROW RAIN (0.2 attacks per second? xD )

Omfg the hand dagger is awesome. So we going with the weapons made from the body of the necro himself?

Souls my be generic but the weapons will talk using the already recorded voice acting. Need to have some reason for this. Infused with the his soul fits

Look, I like the idea, but it is very funny how it looks way more like a set than really a lore work. I'm not discussing the character, but 3 items from what seem to be a sorcerer (based on your pics) makes me wonder if an axe is proper.

Btw, the curse idea is great! But don't forget that this must be worked so the player can have up to 3 curses (no1 wants to see people being able to exploit hex masters on pvp, uh?).

Now on the puncture on yourself, well I think that %of damage applied to itself on every hit follows up the idea of Hiltless Sword (if any1 played demons souls it will be clear). Maybe a hiltless dagger.

Now, just saying, I'm sick of items with chaos damage per sec when you can just cut it with CI. If you want to follow some interesting lore, make so the item have:

> each item applies one elemental x-x damage per sec;
> chance to apply status ailments on hit (one applies burn, other freeze, other shock: 3 items, 3 elementals);
> each item could have some elemtal damage on it, and some % of the damage dealt in the form of elemental would be reflected back to the player.

@edit: About the looks of the weaps, well the dagger can be one of his bones, inflicting puncture will make lots of sense; the axe could be a 1h one with the blade made from his sternum or 2h from his pelvis; the bow could use his vertebrae for lower limb and sight window and skull at the upper limb (the bow could auto cast a curse around the player, since the head of the sorc is watching, dunno).

WOW amazing dagger!!!!!

I have a preposition for the axe.
The creator of this mythic items was a necromancer very dark one :D. Who think himself for the god of the Death. (very HIGH self confidences, like to play whit the souls of the sheep (humans))
Every one know that the weapon of the Death is a scythe, and the closest to scyther's "fighting style" is the axe.

In my imagination the "axe" look like this . But with more fresh (the bones still have its meat attached) and the blade should be made from hip bones, and it need your blood to feed itself.

About the balancing property of the item, the best idea is puncture

I thing this will make the unique item unique!

The bow can be made from the hands, and the finger holding the strings from vein.

Sorry for my English :(

Edit:
I think that: the "cursе" should be outrageous high and only the best defence build can use the items. BUT when you equip them ,they negate your defence and give you high DPS.

All sick ideas. I hope my mate is getting all this. Arts gunna be great

Keep the ideas coming

...seriously, how did I miss this?

I've had a poem (pantoum, if you want to google the format) in mind for my unique, but the trouble was that it was a few stanzas beyond my budget (one stanza per distinct item gets expensive rather quickly). What do you think of the idea of having the items linked through their flavor text? (I'll PM you the poem)
