The Skeleton of Romar Belamor

[K Man]

The skeleton of Romar Belamor is a unique artifact, created by the special circumstances of Romar Belamor's life. Romar almost brought about the destruction of man by nearly claiming his own life at the end of a series of tragic encounters. He was saved by his good friend Yuri Brottor and the cataclysm was avoided, but his body remained a potential gate for the Goddess Wee-Jas and her avatar 'The Master'. Once Romar passed naturally, Yuri spread the bones across the lands.

Now, dark forces have arisen and are in search of the key to unlocking their 'Master'.

Bone	Description	Powers
Skull	-	Unknown
Spine	-	Unknown
Ribcage	This is all the bones of the human ribcage, save for the spinal column. The ribs are inflexible and colored a deep copper color. They are strong enough to support the weight of anything set atop them, though they would make a poor improvised weapon.	Cage of the Broken Heart - When held, this bone provides several benefits to the bearer; +6 to CON The bearer is immune to all charms, compulsions, phatasms and mind-affecting effects. If currently under a mind-affecting effect, the effect is surpressed while the bone is held but resumes (if duration is on going) once bone is no longer held. DR 3/- (This effect stacks with DR provided by other bones) Any weapon wielded by the bearer is considered to have the wounding property but instead of dealing 1 point of CON damage, the weapons deals 3.
Right Arm	This is all the bones of the right arm, from just outside the shoulder-blade to the finger tips. Though made of many bones, the arm is rigid and inflexible, even down to the digits of the fingers.	The Bow Arm - When held, this bone provides several benefits to the bearer; +4 to all physical stats (STR, DEX, CON) Temporary Hit Points equal to the bearer's level. (These are temporary HP and are removed once the bone is no longer held.) DR 3/- (This effect stacks with DR provided by other bones) The bearer is considered to have reach with all hand-held weapons. Ranged weapons or thrown weapons have double their range increment. (Keep in mind, the bone must be held in a free hand.) If the weapon already offers reach (i.e. a spiked chain) reach is extended 5ft.
Left Arm	This is all the bones of the left arm, from just outside the shoulder-blade to the finger tips. Though made of many bones, the arm is rigid and inflexible, even down to the digits of the fingers.	The Sword Arm - When held, this bone provides several benefits to the bearer; +8 to STR The bearer is considered proficient with all Simple and Martial Weapons. DR 3/- (This effect stacks with DR provided by other bones) The bearer is considered to have Two-Weapon Fighting Two-Weapon Defense, Improved Two-Weapon Fighting and Greater Two-Weapon Fighting even if he/she does not meet the requisites for these feats. (Keep in mind the bone must be held for these benefits, but that it can act as weapon all its own.) These feats and the benefits they grant are considered lost when no longer holding the bone.
Hips	-	Unknown
Left Femur	This is the solid femur bone of a human being, completely turned to copper. It is heavy and stout and would make a good club if necessary.	The Sword Leg - When held, this bone provides several benefits to the bearer; +4 to all physical stats (STR, DEX, CON) The Bearer gains one extra attack per round at their full attack bonus. In addition, they gain a +1 bonus to AC and to REF Saves while holding the bone (this is in addition to any bonuses conferred by the increase in physical stats). DR 3/- (This effect stacks with DR provided by other bones) The Bearer's speed (for all types of movement) doubles. There is no limit to the movement gained by this item. This effect ends immediately when the bone is no longer held.
Right Femur	-	Unknown
Left Leg	-	Unknown
Right Leg	This is all the bones in a human leg, from the knee cap down to the toes. The bones are hard and rigid, so much so that they could function as a pick or a shovel if needed.	Spur Heel - When held, this bone provides several benefits to the bearer; +10 to Handle Animal and Ride Skills While Mounted, the bearer benefits from an additional +4 intuition bonus to AC. This effect ends when the character is no longer on a mount or otherwise unable to defend themself (paralyzed, stunned, denied DEX etc). DR 3/- (This effect stacks with DR provided by other bones) The bearer and mount are affected as if by a haste spell (10th level caster) with unlimited duration. This effect extends to the mount, but ends if the character is no longer mounted or otherwise unable to act (paralyzed, stunned, unconscious etc). In addition, the bearer is treated as if having the Mounted Combat feat, even if he/she does not meet the requisites for that feat. If the bearer already has this feat, he/she is treated as if having the Ride-By Attack feat.

Rules for using/benefiting from a bone;

• Only one character may benefit from a bones' powers at a time.
  
• Bones must be held in a hand to gain benefits. Treat them as using a wand, weapon or similar need-to-hold item. While in a backpack, satchel or otherwise carried (even wrapped in a cloth) one does not benefit from a bones properties.
  
• All bones may be used as a simple weapon with medium-sized club damage. This damage does count as magical.
  
• Unless specified, all bone properties or effects are continuous and cannot be suppressed (without putting away the bone).
  
• Bones do not count against weight limit of a character.
  
• It is possible for one character to hold more than one bone, provided that the bones naturally connect together. (I.E. Right Femur can connect to Right Leg and Hip, all three of these bones can be held at once by a single character) The effects of the bones do not stack unless otherwise indicated.
  
• Once joined into their natural position, the bones cannot again be separated without powerful magical means. (Wish or similar effect)

Cool chart!

We know the skull is possessed by the Yexuhl, by the way.m

[K Man]

Thanks for catching that Udj. I have updated the chart to reflect and added the powers and rules for the (known) bones.

[VemuKhaham]

Nice! You even colored the parts of Romar's skeleton which we've found. I really had to laugh though, when seeing Romar depicted like this. Skeletons always look funny. I still can't help but pity the man.

One question: what are your criteria for revealing a bone's powers? Cause the left femur has probably already been tested in battle against the Yexuhl, just not by us. Just wondering.

Good question and good point Vemu. You guys technically have held the femur in your hands, but there is really no benefit for me to put up its powers since you don't have access to it.

However, that's no reason to deny you the information. I will see what I can do about getting the information up soon.

[K Man]

Updated with known bone powers.

[TheZebraShakes™]

Just so i understand, the powers thus far only work when the bone is actually being held in a hand, not just carried in a pack or anything. So if both hands are being used, they can't hold the bone, so no powers from the bone, right?

Yes Ma'am. It requires a free hand to benefit from the powers.

[K Man]

Updated with found bones and their powers. Time to go craaaaazy!

[Wicksy]

duel wielded arms!!!! That would be sweet 8)

[TheUdjat]

Oh hell yes.

[Rojito]

Speaking of which who is holding onto our bones? lol have any made use of them?

[TheZebraShakes™]

We have the Femur and the bow arm, right? I think I'm getting mixed up.

I'm pretty sure that Gro Bug made Natsumi take the arm 'cause he was nervous about it. No one can really benefit from the arm as they would be forfeiting the ability to use their weapon two handed cause they have to hold the bone as well, but if we can get both arm bones, the possibilities are endless, not really, but it would be funny.

But if we have the femur (?) in the box, Gro Bug or Henrick could benefit from using that as a club once we unlock it.

[Rojito]

no we have Right Arm, The Bow Arm, and the Right Leg, Spur Heel, which fits Ella likc a glove when on her mount. but the Leg is in the box. So we have an arm none of us have used yet...
Which i suppose either you or I or Henrick or even Blackjack could get some use out of.

[TheZebraShakes™]

I'm not sure how these bones work with small sized creatures like Ella and Black Jack. We're probably just going to be carrying these things around with no real means of using them at this point.

The skull is colored in, does anyone have it? If not, it's gonna be a race to get it. It's probably the best part, Super cool spell casting powers, the ability to crumble undead to the ground if they look at it. It probably talks too.

But it really doesn't matter who gets what bones, 'cause once we put the skeleton together, it's just going to abandon us all and walk off to do its own side journey for the rest of the game.

[TheUdjat]

I'm sure it'll wind up animating and becoming a lich if we actually piece it all together.

The skull is with the Yexuhl - it was the first piece Team Red went after. I think a healthy chunk of our failure thus far (aside from our own incompetence) can be credited to that foolish error.

I have a feeling it'll be the last piece we go after.

[Japic]

I'd wager that it's the last piece either of us go after. We all want all the bones. Unfortunately we don't know that the other team exists, so we'll go on seeking what we can, when we can. The problem will become the motives when the teams meet. Who will be willing to kill the other team to get their bones? It's going to be a bad day at that point.

I think Shakes, that as long as the bone is held you can gain abilities. Held is not wielded. I think I'd like to strap the legbone to Sax's saddle and then be able to grab a hold of it to garner the abilities at any given time. Thankfully my lance only needs one arm to use in the saddle. It could work.

And I'd not like to ever see these bones united. I think thats what the bad guys want. Maybe.

[Rojito]

I think thats all stuff we will soon find out As to going after the skull i believe it'll be pretty much the last one gotten, but if we do find out about it and have no other leads i think challenging the Yexuhl would be our course of action.

[TheZebraShakes™]

Oh please, we can get all the bones without killing each other.

We just hit them where it hurts most, the Will Save.
