Description
The Mace of Vol has a haft of highly polished dark wood. Carvings of blood vessels and beating hearts adorn the haft, but are distinguishable only in good light or by close inspection.
The mace has the following powers.
- +3 heavy mace that radiates a strong evil magic.
- Adds +3 to the wielder’s Willpower Save and +3 to the save against any attack or influence that seeks to alter the actions or perceptions of the wielder (e.g., fear, intimidation, charm, illusions, etc.).
- Grants the wielder the Share Pain power, which may be used 3 times per day. Share Pain is a Free Action to invoke. The target must be visible to the wielder, and receives a DC 18 Willpower save to resist Share Pain. If the save fails, the target “shares” the pain of the wielder for d4+1 rounds, receiving half of any Hit Point damage suffered by the wielder, rounded up. Only one target at a time can be affected by Share Pain.
Backstory
Vol awards this mace to followers who please her, and allows them to retain it until they fail in this service. Vol delights when her servants use the mace to cause pain and dissension. If the mace is destroyed, those who harmed it will gain Vol’s displeasure.
