Verdant Sower of the Seeds of Retribution

Artefact •••
Green jade reaper daiklave
(Spd +8, Acc +3, Dmg +4L, Def +3, Min Str ••, Min Dex ••)
Commitment: 6 motes

The Verdant Sower of the Seeds of Retribution seems very fragile in its dormant state, taking the form of a delicate lattice of green jade arranged roughly in the shape of a curved sword. However, when essence is committed to the blade it suddenly sprouts into life. Roots wind themselves around the hilt, providing a good grip and a sturdy crosspiece. The spaces in the lattice of the blade are filled in with leaves and vines, and along the cutting portion a series of wedge-shaped, hard-edged seed pods. The plant grows back as fast as it is damaged, and gains its sustenance from essence iterated and flavoured by the jade lattice, making it functionally equivalent to a daiklave made from more traditional materials.

However, the Verdant Sower has one power that sets it apart from other weapons. As a simple action, its wielder can sweep the sword over an area and cause it to drop a handful of seeds. Within a few seconds, the seeds have sprouted into verdant warriors armed with thorny blades and clad in earthen armour. With a snapping sound, these plant-men detach from their stalks and advance, ready to fight for their master.

It costs 3 motes per warrior summoned, and the wielder of Verdant Sower can summon no more than his Essence in one go. The warriors grow during the turn in which they are sown, and can act on their normal initiative in the next round. They have the stats of elite warriors (p278 of Exalted) except they have no wound penalties and are rather flammable. They are usually not extras.

Comments

Are usually not extras? Come on! They're Pod People! Part of the whole fun of that would be having an insane Wood aspect with some sort of fast mote regen dropping hundreds of these things... Oh, yeah, and they should probably have a duration.

Also.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHahahahahah... Thank you. - Arafelis

I'd suggest that they last until nightfall, at which point they become comatose. Over night, they set down roots and, by dawn comes they have become fairly normal, if strange-looking, plants. The beans that these plants bear would, of course, be valuable for all sorts of alchemical creations... -szilard

That's really cool. Consider it official, or something. :-P - F
