Weapons of Sin, Avarice (3.5e Equipment)

This material is published under the OGL 1.0a.

Avarice (Avarice): The Weapons of Sin are seven legendary weapons created by an evil wizard and his brother, a cleric of a depraved god who commissioned the weapons in person. Over the centuries the names of the creators have faded from history thanks to many heroes destroying evidence of their existence.

Each weapon is a different type, ranging from the delicate Lustful Hand (a crystal dagger) to the bulky Force of Wrath (a large two-handed, two-headed maul). These weapons are cursed, forcing their owners into the depraved behavior each represents. It is rumored that they were created using wild magic and that is why they sometimes work for the benefit of the wielder and sometimes cause their destruction during battle.

This +4 flaming quarterstaff (one end only) is said to contain the essence of greed itself within its dark wood grain. This 6-foot-long staff is topped with a pair of grasping adamantine hands. They clutch at a large emerald shaped like an eye, struggling for its possession. Some have claimed to see the hands actually move. The wooden shaft itself is made from rare ebony and is elaborately carved with manic faces and greedy hands, and inlaid with dozens of golden and platinum coins from nations all over the world.

Avarice is an unrepentant thief. Once per day, a creature struck by the weapon must succeed at a Will saving throw (DC 17) or have one random valuable item weighing no more than 50 pounds teleport from his possession to that of the quarterstaff’s wielder. This happens automatically, whether or not the wielder desires it. Furthermore, once per day when the wielder spends more than 100 gp, he must succeed at a Will saving throw (DC 16) or be filled with a jealous hatred towards the person receiving the money (equivalent to the emotion: hate spell).
