This is mostly just a hunch, but this seems like more than a level 2.  That's an awful lot of +Everything for a level two, and I'm having a hard time getting the math (as per the errata) to work.  I'd say just go ahead and make this a level three or four artifact and it's no problem. -[[EJGRgunner]]

Malikai, I add it up and it looks like you should have a total of 12 points and 2 gifts to spend on this artifact. By my count, you've spent 16 points and 2 gifts. Am I missing something? - SilverMeerKat

Saber Of The Light's Edge</b>\\ Artifact <b>••</b>\\ Orichalcum Slashing Sword\\ w/o MM: Speed +6 Accuracy +3 Damage +4L Defense +3\\ w MM: Speed +7 Accuracy +4 Damage +4L Defense +4\\ Requires: Strength 2; Commitment: 7

Crafted from the finest steel alloyed with Orichacum, this mighty slashing sword was forged to be swift, precise and deadly. It has within it a minor preadatory intelligence and will only submit to those it finds worthy (i.e. those that the ST wants to have it). Contains a Slot for a Single Hearthstone.\\


I played with the ArtifactCreationErrata again, Comments? - Malikai

Edited to be in-line with DariusSolluman/RevisedArtifactCreation - Malikai

This is mostly just a hunch, but this seems like more than a level 2. That's an awful lot of +Everything for a level two, and I'm having a hard time getting the math (as per the errata) to work. I'd say just go ahead and make this a level three or four artifact and it's no problem. -EJGRgunner

Well here is my math, it worked out as far as I could tell.

Basic Level 2 Artifact Weapon\\ Speed +0\\ Accuracy +0\\ Damage +8L\\ Defense +0\\ Min Str 2\\ Commitment 5

Add Melee requirement +1 to damage\\ Add Dex requirement +1 to damage\\ Increase Commitment Cost by 2 levels (to 10m) +2 to damage\\ +6 to speed = -3 to Damage\\ +3 to accuracy = -3 to Damage\\ +3 to Defense = -3 to Damage

Unless Increasing the Commitment cost is supposed to increase the artifact level it should still be level 2. - Malikai

I went and tried creating the same item with the Rules over at DariusSolluman/RevisedArtifactCreation and it came out almost exactly the same. With another plus one to Defense Actually.

Base Item: Slashing Sword\\ Artifact 2\\ 8 bp and 2 gifts\\ Spd +6(2), Acc +3(6), Dmg +5L(10), Def +4(4), Min Str 1, Commitment 7\\ Gifts: Hearthstone Slot, Terrifying Might (+2 bp)\\ Flaws: Inefficent lvl 2 (+2 bp) Total Points: 22\\ - Malikai

This artifact is slightly overpowered. The Reaper Daiklave has nearly identical stats (one less speed, 2 less commitment, no hearthstone slot) and is artifact two. Up the stats some more and make it an art3 slashing sword. -- DODurden

As I said on one of the others, these Desgins were made Pre-Player's guide, that's why it doesn't have a rate stat. - Malikai
