For each Primary Power the sword has, roll 1d100 on the Primary Powers table to determine what it is.
If it can use Languages, the sword knows its alignment language. Roll 1d100 on the Languages Spoken table to determine the number of additional languages it knows.
For each Extraordinary Ability the sword has, roll 1d100 on the Extraordinary Ability table to determine what it is.

| 86 to 95 | Four |
| 96 to 99 | Five |

| 41 to 50 | Telekinesis |
| 51 to 59 | Teleportation |

| 98 to 99 | Take Two Rolls Ignoring Scores over 97 |
| 000 | Take Three Rolls Ignoring Scores over 97 |
Rolling the same Ability twice indicates it is twice normal strength, range, accuracy, etc.
If the sword has Intelligence of 7 or more then it will have an Egoism attribute.
Roll 1d12 to determine the sword’s Egoism attribute value.
Roll 1d10. On a 10 the sword has a Purpose.
It’s Purpose is to slay one of the following types or alignments:
Swords with a Purpose have Intelligence 12, Egoism 12, and an additional ability depending on it’s alignment as follows:
| Alignment | Ability |
|---|---|
| Lawful | Paralyse Chaotic opponents |
| Neutrality | Adds +1 to all saving throws |
| Chaotic | Disintegrate Lawful opponents |
This ability will only apply to those whom the sword has been purposed to destroy, or those serving such a creature.
Thus a Lawfully endowed sword for the purpose of slaying (Chaotic) Mages would paralyse Mages and their minions, but it would not use its paralysing power on some wandering Giant.
The general purpose swords, however, would use their powers to defeat any opponent of Lawful or Chaotic nature. Neutral special purpose swords will act against either Law or Chaos equally.
Special purpose swords will always be at their task, and any attempts by their users to go counter to them will cause an immediate influence check to be made.
If a character picks up a sword which is not of the same alignment as them, damage will be taken as follows:
| Sword Alignment | Character Alignment | Damage |
|---|---|---|
| Lawful | Chaotic | 2d6 |
| Lawful | Neutral | 1d6 |
| Neutral | Chaotic | 1d6 |
| Neutral | Lawful | 1d6 |
| Chaotic | Neutral | 1d6 |
| Chaotic | Lawful | 2d6 |
If a non-player character is directed to pick up a sword the damage taken will be halved.
If the sword can communicate, it can tell it’s user what it’s power is. Otherwise the user will have to discover the sword’s power by other means.
If the Intelligence of the sword is more than 5 points above the Intelligence of the character who picks it up, the sword will control that person, also causing their alignment to become the same as the sword.
All Primary Powers and Extraordinary Abilities are passed on to the sword user.
Compare the Egoism attribute score of the sword with the level of the Fighter. The difference between these two numbers determines the effect as shown on the following table:
| Difference | Effect |
|---|---|
| 6 or more | Higher score always prevails |
| 2 to 5 | Higher score always prevails except in Key Situations |
| 0 to 1 | Check during any stressful |
To prevail is to be in control of the character’s actions when the sword and characters desires differ.
The sword will attempt to control it’s user in the following key situations:
| Key Situation | Sword’s Desire |
|---|---|
| User finds a better weapon | Lead its user past the weapon in question. |
| Chance of dangerous combat | Lead its user into the combat. |
| Meet a higher-level creature or character | Allow itself to be captured by them. |
| Meet a creature or character of a lower level | Surrender itself to in order to exercise greater control over its new user. |
| User gets treasure | A share of treasure in the form of better scabbards, jewel encrustation, or magical devices to guard it. |
Add the Intelligence and the Egoism of the sword, and add an extra 1 for every Extraordinary Ability the sword has.
Add the user’s Intelligence and Strength modified by the state of the user as determined by the following table:
| State of User | Modifier |
|---|---|
| Less than 10% damaged | +1d6 |
| Mentally and/or physically fatigued, or damage from 10% to 50% | -1d4 |
| damage over 50%, or has been under a severe mental strain from some form of magic | -2d4 |
Compare these two scores on the following table to see if the sword or it’s user prevails.
| Difference | Result |
|---|---|
| 6 or more | Higher score prevails |
| 2 to 5 | 75% chance the higher score will prevail |
| 0 to 1 | 50% either will prevail |
Those with bonuses of +1, +2 or +3 gain a bonus of equal merit on damage scored, except as noted below.

The ring immediately begins to drain energy from the wearer, making them weaker at a rate of 10% per turn until a maximum of 50%.
unclear what the % is of! Is this the same as other energy draining effects that reduce level? Is it just % of attack defence capabilities as stated below?
This weakness is reflected in both attack and defence capabilities. What exactly are attack and defence capabilities?
Answer?!: Mentioned in the ALTERNATIVE COMBAT SYSTEM p19 of Men and Magic so Defence is defensive capability
But what is it for a level 1 Fighter to be 10% lower in Defence and attack? Do the maths and round accordingly??
