I'm editing a map called
Destiny Battle, a once-popular mod/game for
Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. Players pick one Hero (character) and cooperate with other players to defend the city of Vern from the armies of the evil wizard Adomach.
I came into editing this at a point where it was still woefully unfinished, however, so there aren't nearly as many Level 2 Artifact-class items, or even Level 2 Epic items as there should be. The Level 1 items list is all done already. What I need are cool ideas for artifacts or other powerful items to flesh things out, and perhaps get a head start on Level 3 items while I'm at it (which was never done to begin with).
Examples of some existing items here:
Longsword
Uncommon (Lv 2) - Gives the hero +5 damage.
A sturdy blade forged with three feet of solid steel.
Chronoegg
Epic (Lv 2) - A peculiar egg that wields the mists of time. When broken, freezes time for everyone but the user, allowing them to move and act freely. Lasts 15 seconds.
Scholars believe chronoeggs are all that remain after a comet burns out.
Mana Battery
Epic (Lv 2) - A magitechnology-based power source capable of generating immense amounts of energy. Increases maximum mana by 300 when carried.
The overall shape of this object suggests that it was once set in something as a power source. If you could find a magitechnology apparatus to connect it to, you might just find out.
Golem Set (2 Piece Set)
- Drained Metal Golem
- Mana Battery
Robe of Blood
Artifact (Lv 1) - The bearer of this nasty robe gains 100 HP, as well as +3 HP/sec regeneration. In addition, when used it drains 50% of the wearer's current life and deals it as damage to nearby enemy units. This ability can be activated once every 3 minutes.
This robe was worn by a vampire whose appetite was insatiable. He had this robe crafted so that he would never go hungry again.
Elixir of Heroes
Artifact (Lv 2) - Drinking this potion increases all the hero's stats by +40 for 5 minutes.
Drinking a mere drop of this exceedingly rare and miraculous potion is enough to invigorate the user for an entire day. Taking the whole bottle empowers them with the courage, skill, and strength to challenge even a greater dragon.
Paraselene
Artifact (Lv 2) - The wearer of this glimmering platemail set receives +12 armor, and 10% magic and spell damage reduction. Can be activated to make the hero invulnerable for 4 seconds. This effect can be activated once every 20 seconds.
Forged with extremely valuable Truesilver, and enchanted by the religious Order of Paraselene, this armor set grants its wearer the sovereign inviolability of the Moon itself.
Yggdra's Holy Blade
Artifact (Lv 2) - The divine sword Gran Centurio, used by Princess Yggdra in the Holy War. Imbues its bearer with the powers of heaven, increasing damage by 15, and causing killing blows to redeem the spirits of the fallen, returning them as Avenging Spirits to fight for you.
The inscription on the blade reads: "We'll never fight alone".
I can provide more examples as needed, or answer any questions you may have.
EDIT: I just realized this thread would be much better suited for the Creative Projects subforum. I'm reposting this there. Feel free to delete this thread.
