Icy Disposition is a new shop debuting at this run of Duskruin. As a teaser, here is a peek at the mirror hanging in the shop:
>read mirror
In the Common language, it reads:
The weapons sold in this shop are Greater Rhimar Weapons, and while they may appear at a casual glance to be the more common form of the metal, these pieces carry within them a fragment of Winter itself.
**
[Tier 1] - Each of the weapons on display has an enchantment of +25, flares like regular rhimar weapons, and is capable of generating snowballs.
**
[Tier 2] - Once one of the dim blue certificates has been applied to one of these weapons, Snowball Flares will be unlocked for that weapon. Snowball Flares will flare much like regular rhimar weapons, however on a successful (regular) flare, there will be a chance for a second (Snowball) flare which will do additional cold damage plus a status effect.
**
[Tier 3] - Once one of the light blue certificates has been applied to one of these weapons, Blizzard will be unlocked for that weapon, and be able to be used once per day. Blizzard is akin to a Major Elemental Wave of pure cold damage.
**
[Tier 4] - Once one of the bright blue certificates has been applied to one of these weapons, Rime will be unlocked for that weapon, and be able to be used once per day. Rime coats the weapon in ice, which causes every successful hit to flare the standard cold flare as well as the Snowball Flare, with the effect lasting for 30 seconds.
**
Snowy White Certificates will allow for additional uses of Blizzard per day. Frozen Certificates will allow for additional uses of Rime per day. Snowball Certificates will reduce the cooldown timer on snowball creation.
**
More details will be forthcoming as we draw closer to opening night!
Note:
This script could not have been put together without the coding wizardry of GM Estild. Many thanks to him.

Will there be any kind of bonus for Bards ('rhyme')?
Or when used in daily-run undead ('Reim') events?

OOooh!
Since I happen to know that there is a matched set of named weapons (Rhyme and Reason) from many years ago--since I sold them to a GM when my two-weapon guy was moving on--then that one should totally absolutely get this script added.
Because. <nod>

These weapons really look nice, and I hope a drakar version is eventually released... but when I got to the quoted part my first thought was "that looks awesome" which was immediately followed by "...and I'd never use it if I had it".
To be clear, I'm not ragging on this item, and I get that abilities like this need to have limits... but 30 sec once per day feels a bit severe. In any kind of normal situation, it'll feel like I'm wasting it by using it... and when an "oh crap!" moment does occur that inspires me to use it I'll either forget about it entirely or not be able to recall the activator fast enough.
If it was something like 3-5 minutes once a day, I'd definitely make use of it when doing dangerous critter tasks, if I decided to give bandits a try again (ha!), or even in a warcamp... cause then I could have a bit more leeway between activating it and when it's actually needed. Heck, if the frozen certs could add 30 sec to the duration instead of the number of times per day, it'd be more attractive. But at a flat 30 sec it's a constant "not yet" until any window of opportunity has come and gone.

Here are the weapon bases planned for sale in Icy Disposition:
Dagger
Backsword
Bastard Sword
Battle Axe
Falchion
Handaxe
Longsword
Maul
Twohanded Sword
Katar
Runestaff
Here are the Tier 1/OTS Verbs (First Person Only):
>lick my sword
You lift your sword up to eye level and carefully extend your tongue, feeling the cold at the heart of the sword even before you make contact. You steel your will and press your tongue to the freezing metal, clenching your eyes shut. After a half a heartbeat, you feel the icy bite of the frost forming on your tongue and jerk the sword away with a sharp exhalation of pain.
>smell my sword
You lift your sword to your nose and inhale deeply, savoring the multilayered odors of metal and frost. As you near the end of your inhalation, you feel ice crystals forming inside your nostrils and turn your head away, snorting loudly.
>touch my sword
You run a hand across the metal of your sword, feeling the innate chill of the weapon down to your bones. As you do, you hear the faintest echo of a giggle, though it fades almost immediately.
>pull my sword
You cup one hand around your sword and feel frost forming under your palm. You pull the hand free, the collection of frost forming itself into a glistening cerulean-laced snowball!
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.
>glance
You glance down to see a sword in your right hand and a glistening cerulean-laced snowball in your left hand.
Here are the Tier 2 Verbs (First Person Only:
>listen my sword
You focus your concentration on your sword, and at the very edge of your hearing, you catch a snippet of laughter, though it fades almost immediately.
>spin my sword
Relaxing your grip on your sword, you allow it to dip into a quick arc. You tighten your grip once more, continuing the arc until the sword has come full circle.
>toss my sword
With a showy flourish, you toss your sword into the air, but a slight gust of icy wind crops up from nowhere, altering its trajectory just enough that you have to twist your wrist awkwardly to make the catch. The faintest tinkling of merry laughter reaches your ear from somewhere nearby.
>turn my sword
You turn your sword over in your hand a couple of times, feeling its weight. On the last turn, you hear a somewhat sinister scraping noise.
Snowball Flares (unlocked at Tier 2) will apply one of the following three status effects when triggered (randomly chosen):
Staggered
Blinded
Dazed
Enjoy!

New Weapon Bases added to Icy Disposition:
War Hammer
Spear
Morning Star
Lance
Longbow
Hand Crossbow
Snowball Flares at work:
>att king
You swing a massive rhimar warsword at a massive troll king!
AS: +390 vs DS: +109 with AvD: +25 + d100 roll: +15 = +321
... and hit for 106 points of damage!
Awesome shot collapses a lung!
A suffusion of frost flashes down the length of the rhimar warsword as a tongue of snow and ice lashes at a massive troll king!
... 15 points of damage!
The troll king failed to sidestep the chilly blast. Bruised ribs anyone?
From somewhere nearby, a snowball comes whizzing towards a massive troll king, splattering as it connects!
... 20 points of damage!
Darn! Frozen ribs take longer to cook, and broken ones to boot!
... 25 points of damage!
Solid blast of ice square to the chest rocks the troll king back on its heels!
Upon impact, a large portion of the snowball dissolves into a thick, airy mist, blinding a massive troll king!
You blinded a massive troll king!
T3 Verbs (First Person Only):
>bow my wars
A fine layer of frost races up the length of your rhimar warsword as you pull it close to your chest. You can feel the aching cold of the warsword as you dip into a solemn bow, but when you arise once more, the warsword's frost has vanished.
>clench my wars {This triggers the Major EWave}
You deliberately tighten your grip on your rhimar warsword, and a sudden squall of icy air begins to whip around you! Within seconds, large chunks of ice and snow materialize inside the howling winds, pelting the area with frigid projectiles before vanishing as quickly as it arrived.
T4 Verbs (First Person Only):
>raise my wars
You thrust your rhimar warsword into the air, and you feel a chill crawl from it down your hand and arm. A howling noise, as of icy wind whipping through a gorge, sounds from somewhere nearby, and a layer of frost slowly forms along the length of the warsword, coating your hand and forearm as well.
>exhale my warsword {This triggers Rime}
You raise your rhimar warsword to your lips and exhale, your breath billowing out in an icy plume, obscuring the warsword from view. When you finish your exhalation, the obscuring fog dissipates, revealing that the warsword has been completely encased in jagged ice!
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.
Pricing:
OTS: 2,500 Bloodscrip (5x, Standard Cold Flares, Generates Snowballs once every 30 minutes)
T1->T2: 50,000 Bloodscrip (Unlocks Snowball Flares)

Is there a typo in the Tier2 pricing? 2.5k to buy the item, then FIFTY thousands for Tier2? While 3 & 4 combined only cost 25k, total?
Was that supposed to be, I hope, "5,000" for Tier2?

Kinda hate to be the guy to ask this.. But is there any way we can get a cert to change the flares to something besides a "snowball"?
I really really like this overall design, but a weapon triggering a thrown snowball from nowhere just doesn't quite fit for me. What about shards of ice that break off of the weapon maybe? Just spit-balling here.. (or snowballing?) :)
Feel free to ignore me though if I'm the only one that thinks this!

Greater Rhimar debuted back in February, so they are not yet eligible to be a limited HESS offering (add the script), correct? I need to wait until February of next year?

Re: Duskruin Teaser - Greater Rhimar Weapons

Actually, thinking about it: when this script becomes eligible to be added, will the weapon need to be rhimar already?
Or just "have cold flares"?
None of the above, but at least "have no flare (and script) already" to be able to take the changes?
* If the item is not already rhimar, will it need to be changed TO be it, in order to be "Greater" and all?
