Alial ObjectBack to Top
Alial races have (generally suppressed) magical energy that infuses a specific part of their body. Though this energy may be present in the object before the creature's death, alial objects are non-magical until after the creature's death and only acquire their abilities if they are still part of the creature when they die. This body part must be hard like bone or a gemstone. This object can otherwise take many different forms.
Alial objects contain a significantly strong impression of the owner's identity. Whether or not the creature is deceased, alial objects can be used as a focus for any spell that requires identifying a creature, such as scrying, to perfectly identify the owner. The owner also receives no saves against such spells.
Alial objects can also be incorporated into specific type of magic items, granting bonuses but potentially changing their effect. Alial objects do not impart their weapon properties or spell modifiers unless stated otherwise or incorporated into an item that uses them.
Description
A plains narman's alial object takes the form of the tusk which protrudes from their mouth called an alidens. When removed, this tusk can be used as a one-handed melee weapon that deals 1d6 points of piercing damage and requires exotic weapon proficiency. The tusk receives its weapon properties as well, though an alial object only has the creature's weapon properties if it was part of the creature upon their death.
Weapon Properties +1 Bane-Animals
A plains narman's alidens can be incorporated onto a bow, usually affixed to the outer edge of the bow between the arms. When so incorporated, it gives the bow the conserving property as well.
Spell Modifiers An alial wand can be merged with a bow as weaponwand using the number of hit dice of the owner as the caster level and their Charisma modifier to determine the DC.
