To add some additional options, sometimes

a couple pages is all you need. And legendary

items are just such an occasion.

Legendary items come from Purple Duck

Games’ line of books introducing and expanding

the concept of what legendary items are.

Everyone knows the classic story of an untested

youth who inherits or acquires an ancient item

that he learns to wield and carries throughout

his career, but such a story does not seem to have

a place in roleplaying games. Characters more

frequently trade in their family heirloom for a

more powerful item, or instead have to spend

time and resources to improve the weapon.

Many attempts have been made to create a type

of item that could grow with the character, an

item that could be used from the very beginning

of a character’s career all the way until retiring as

a living legend. Purple Duck Games successfully

achieved this with their Legendary Items series

of books. These books immediately gave us at

Dreamscarred Press ideas for some psionic

legendary items to join the ranks.

With the

Psionic Items of Legend

series, you

get one legendary item of a psionic nature. Each

book will present a new legendary item detailing

that item’s history, requirements to attune the

item, and the item’s abilities.

Psionic Items of Legend

Legendary Item Rules

Legendary items follow a standard format and

set of rules, as detailed below.

• Legendary armor, shields, or weapons have

a base legendary value which is usually a +1

enhancement bonus, such as a

+1 shield,

avail-

able even if the wearer is not attuned.

• For all other legendary items, the legendary

item has a base item ability that the wearer

can use even if he does not meet the require-

ments

• Each legendary item has requirements neces-

sary to attune it to the wearer.

• If by 4th level for armor, shields, and weapons,

or 5th level for all other legendary items, the

wearer of the legendary item has met the

requirements needed to attune the item, it

increases in power to its second item level.

• Increasing a legendary item’s power level

occurs automatically once the wielder has

gained the required wielder minimum level

and is attuned to the item. For armor, shields,

and weapons, this is every two character

levels, and for all other legendary items, for

every five character levels.

• Any psi-like abilities gained through the use

of the legendary item are based on the wear-

er’s highest mental characteristic (Int, Wis, or

Cha).

• The manifester level for any effects of the item

are based on the wearer’s total Hit Dice.

• Only one owner can be attuned to a legendary

item at any one time. If the owner dies or loses

the item for more than a year and one day, the

item is free to become attuned to another. If

the owner is returned to life, he can immedi-

ately reattune to the item.

• A character can only be attuned to one legend-

ary item at a time.

Dancing Robes of

Sharatwan

Sharatwan, known as the Peace Bringer, was

respected not for her exceptional ability on the

battlefield, but for her preference to try to reach

peaceful solutions instead of resorting to conflict

and bloodshed. Yet despite her predeliction

for non-violent solutions, Sharatwan believed

in ferociously defending her people from

aggressors if the peace was breached and set

about enforcing peace through force as a last

resort. The Peace Bringer was said to always be

the first to approach under the flag of a truce,

yet the last person a commander wanted to face

in battle.

The stories tell that Sharatwan the Peace

Bringer was a whirling dervish in combat, her

unusual dancing gown cutting the air in a blur

of faintly-glowing cloth as she moved about the

field faster than the eye could follow. Legends

claim her hands became lances of light that

struck down all the enemies around her and

even devastated leaders from afar. When she

raised her hands, aglow with her inner power,

high into the air, it was her sign to all enemies to

negotiate a peace or face the deadly consequenc-

es of battle against her and her allies.

For years, Sharatwan’s diplomatic nature com-

bined with the warning light of her hands were

able to avoid countless conflicts, while her dead-

ly skills on the battlefield helped to end those

few that did occur.

Eventually, Sharatwan was betrayed and killed

by those she thought of as allies, but who viewed

her as a threat to their power. Yet even in her

death, it is said that her hands shone in a light

that infused her robes and enveloped anyone

who donned the garment and understood that

the time for combat was only after the time for

negotiations.

Bonus Feats

Many of the legendary items presented grant

bonus feats. Unless otherwise noted, these bonus

feats remain in effect as long as the owner is

physically wearing the item. The wearer does

not need to meet the prerequisites for these

bonus feats.

To successfully wield the

Dancing Robes of

Sharatwan

to its fullest potential, a character

Psionic Items of Legend

must fulfill the following requirements.

Mind Blade:

Ability to form two mind blades

Dancing Robes:

The

Dancing Robes of

Sharatwan

may look like a gown for a party, but

are specially toughened fabric and are treated

as masterwork padded armor to determine the

armor bonus to AC, maximum dexterity bonus,

and arcane spell failure chance.

Speed of Thought:

Once the

Dancing Robes of

Sharatwan

has had the 2nd armor level reached,

the wearer gains Speed of Thought as a bonus

feat.

Hands Alight (Su):

Starting at the 3rd item

level, the wearer of the

Dancing Robes of

Sharatwan

can wreath her hands in light as

a free action, which grants a +2 circumstance

bonus on Intimidate checks, but the wearer fails

any Stealth check against a creature with vision.

This light does not otherwise alter her attacks or

any other abilities, but does give off light as a

torch, shedding normal light in a 20-foot radius,

and increasing the light level for an additional

20 feet by one step, up to normal light (darkness

becomes dim light, and dim light becomes

normal light). In an area of normal or bright

light, this has no effect. The color of the light is

chosen by the wearer. The effect lasts until it is

dismissed; dismissing the effect is a free action.

Twin Strike:

Upon reaching the 5th item level,

the wearer of the

Dancing Robes of Sharatwan

gains the Twin Strike blade skill as a bonus blade

skill. This blade skill is only available while

wearing the

Dancing Robes of Sharatwan.

Physical Acceleration (Ps):

At the 6th

item level, the wearer of the

Dancing Robes

of Sharatwan

gains the ability to use

physical

acceleration

as a psi-like ability three times per

day.

The Price of Peace (Su):

If the wearer of the

Dancing Robes of Sharatwan

attempts to use

Diplomacy on a creature that then attacks her,

that creature must make a Will save (DC 10 +

�½ character level + Charisma modifier) or be

Psionic Items of Legend

shaken for a number of rounds equal to the

wearer’s Charisma modifier.

Energized Blades (Su):

Upon achieving

armor level 9, the wearer of the

Dancing Robes

of Sharatwancan

can charge her mind blades

with electricity. Activating or deactivating this

ability is a free action. While this ability is

active, the wearer’s mind blades deal electricity

damage instead of physical damage and as such

are not subject to damage reduction, but are

subject to electricity resistance, immunity, or

vulnerability.

ARmOR PROPeRtY

Determination:

A shield or armor with this

property provides the ability to fight on against

seemingly impossible odds. Once per day, when

the owner reaches 0 or fewer hit points, the item
