Blazer
Blazer is a scimitar of unknown origins. It is indistinguishable from any other magical blade. Its blade is made of silver and the handle is trimmed in platinum. A single ruby the size of a quarter is set into the hilt of the sword. It is currently in the possesion of Valas Veladorn who has carried for some twenty years. His exploits of speed and agility in combat have become legend in the North. He recieved the scimitar from a druid who passsed it on to him with his last dying breath. The druid, who's name is unknown, was buried by Valas in a stone cairn on the southern tip of the Aunaroch Desert.

Blazer acts in many ways like a Scimitar of speed. It has a +3 bonus to hit and damage. The blade grants the wielder an automatic first attack every round. In addition, the sword confers a -2 bonus to the initiative role. The blade also increases the wielders number of attacks by one level. If, for instance a fighter had 3 attacks every 2 rounds, with Blazer he would have 2 attacks every round. The most unique feature of Blazer is its ability to attune itself to its yielder. Anyone other than the rightful owner of the weapon that attempts to pick up the weapon recieves 1d8 points of damage per round until the sword is dropped. The sword may only change hands if it is freely given by the owner or if the owner of the weapon dies.
