Solaris, the Ultimate Destiny

Rune Weapon

A powerful rune spear made of gold and silver metal. When in the light of the sun, the weapon glows with the light of the righteous. Legend tells that whoever holds Solaris is destined for greatness and become a hero of all ages.

Type: Rune Spear; Greater Rune Weapon.

Damage: 5D6, double damage to the supernatural.

Alignment: Principled.

Powers: All the common rune powers plus the following:

1) Bypass Armor: The blade of Solaris is so sharp that it cuts through any armor without effort. Any attack that strikes the victim inflicts damage regardless of the armor rating. Not even a creature's natural armor rating is a match for the sharp blade of Solaris. This makes Solaris extremely effective when fighting the supernatural.

2) Eternal Reach: When in combat, the shaft of Solaris can extend to increase its reach. The spear can be extended up to a maximum length of 50 feet (15.2 m). This length can be maintained for only one melee round (15 seconds) and performed up to 3 times per 24 hour period. While extended the weapon wields as easily as if normal length without issues of balance, the shaft bending, the tip being too heavy, unwieldy due to wind, or any other complication. Note: While 50 feet (15.2 m) is the maximum length, the shaft can be extended to any length from the normal length of 7 feet (2.1 m) up to the maximum and anything in between.

Curse: None.

Personality: Solaris is obsessed with appearance. She will absolutely refuse to be wielded by anyone without a P.B. 16 or higher, and in general prefers to be wielded by other women. This is because she feels anyone of lower beauty will make her look bad, and she's convinced she's the most beautiful rune weapon ever created (and she'll argue fervently with anyone who claims that it's Frostfoil!).

History: According to legend, Solaris was a weapon originally wielded by Rurga. One day she observed a mortal female palladin who displayed all the ideals the warrior goddess hold so high. As a boon, Rurga awarded the palladin with Solaris. With the help of Solaris, the palladin delivered the death blow to a demon that tormented the lands and was once believed to be unbeatable. Whether by destiny or by chance, every owner thereafter (at least every owner recorded) continued to accomplish the type of deeds legends are made of.
