Well met, Sabre
Welcome to Candlekeep. You'll probably find out about these weapons in Alaundo's library- mind out they're very dangerous! |

This is what I have read of Moonblades, take great care for they always belong to someone.
"Moonblades
These potent weapons were created by
smiths of ancient Myth Drannor. They are used
in the long process of selecting a ruler for
isle of Evermeet (as described in the novel Elfshadow).
When first forged, moonblades vary from +1
+4 to hit and damage, and have one special ability
see following). A moonblade may be passed from
one owner to another, usually by generation.
Each time a moonblade is passed on, the moonblade
itself decides whether to accept the new
owner or not. The owner must be elven, of good
alignment, and act in a selfless and heroic manner.
Major acts of cowardice, cheating, or lying
will all count against an individual attempting
to possess a moonblade.
It is the DMís decision whether a moonblade
accepts a new owner. If the moonblade does
accept or if it is touched by a non-elf, the blade
inflicts 5d8 points of damage. Individuals of
alignment must successfully save vs. death magic
or be instantly slain. Even if the save is successful,
the evil individual will feel intense pain, and
be unable to ever handle the blade again.
Moonblades start out with a single ability and
gain another ability with each new owner. Each
ability is symbolized by a small rune that appears
on the blade. These abilities can be selected
by the DM from the Weapon Extraordinary
Powers (DMG, Appendix Three, Magical Item
Descriptions), or can be determined by rolling
1d20 and referring to the following table.
Die Roll Power and Description
1 Additional +1 to hit and damage (to
a maximum of +5)
2 Danger Sense; the sword glows blue
if danger is imminent (within one turn)
3 Dreamwarning; the moonbladeís owner
receives a prophetic dream warning
of danger within one day
4 Fire Resistance (as ring)
5 Human Influence (as ring)
6 Spell Turning (as ring)
7 ESP (as medallion)
8 Command (as armor)
9 Good Luck (as luckstone)
10 Opening (as chime)
11 Blasting (as horn)
12 Fear (as spell)
13 Dancing (as sword)
14 Flame Tongue (as sword)
15 Wounding (as sword)
16 Life Stealing (as sword)
18 Warning; determines location, number
and species of hostile enemy
within 240'
19 Throwing; weapon can be thrown
up to 100', inflict normal damage,
and return to wielder in one round
Sharpness (as sword)
20 Elfshadow; once per day, user may
summon a duplicate identical in
every way (level, hp, AC, etc.), to
fight for 2d10 turns, or until slain; if
slain, elfshadow returns to sword,
and cannot be summoned again for
2d4 days"

Welcome to the forums, Sabre. I hope you find the knowledge you seek here. I don't know much about these moonblades however, so I hope you found the help you needed from some other helpful scribes. |
