Designing Magic Item: Cold Heart
Minor spoilers for the story follow, so beware!
Cold Heart Longsword
Cold Heart is one of the magic items introduced in In the Court of the Frozen Queen. This magic longsword will fill the hearts of your enemies with cold.
As this sword was created by the Ice Queen herself for Parena, one of her lieutenants, when designing it, we wanted it to bear Queen marks. The crossguard is designed like an open flower - as the flowers play a large part in Queen's history - and a piece of magical blue ice is embedded there. The blade is made from ice which is harder than steel - and a lot colder.
We wanted the magical abilities of the sword also represent those of its creator, the Ice Queen Valkura. The Queen wants the wielder of the sword to quell any resistance, so, when hitting the enemy, the sword pours the deathly cold into the hearts of her enemies, making them weaker and less likely to attack. We needed to take into account the level that the adventurers that fight against the wielder of the sword will have (around level 3 or 4). Giving powerful items at that level can break the balance of the game - and in our playtests, we found out that situational effects can sometimes be even more fun than straight, constant damage, so we ended up giving the sword the following powers:
You have a +1 bonus to Attack and Damage Rolls made with this weapon.Three times per day, after you hit your target with the sword, you can activate the sword to chill your target, dealing1d8 cold damage, prohibiting it from regaining hitpoints and giving it disadvantage on thenext attack.
This effect, while not very powerful by itself, ended up being used a lot! At lower levels, 1d8 damage is a lot, even if it's a few times per day, and the disadvantage may come clutch.
More items?
There are more items in the adventure, and we will share some of them as we progress... What kind of items made by the cold, evil Queen would you like to see in the adventure?
