I really like it, there's only one problem. I only see 2 hearthstone slots, so you wouldn't be able to use all of those stones. - Malikai

I would think the daiklaive itself would provide the usual three stone settings. - Miedvied

Only a Reaver Daiklaves only have one socket, its Grand Daiklaves that have three (Core book page 341). - Malikai

usually. according to S&S(pg.33) an artifact can have up to it's rating in Hearthstone sockets so long as you pay the extra successes(5 per socket). -grypph

I get the impression it's quite rare though. Certainly, dragon-blooded daiklaves are likely to have the normal number, especially the mass-produced ones.

Who says this guy's daiklave is mass-produced? He's got Breeding 5 and is a prodigy in battle and leadership. He sounds to me like a good family's favorite son and has clearly been at it for a while, and even if his blade isn't a weapon renowned in legend in song it's almost certainly a quality piece from a well-known craftsman. -Ben-San

Oh, I agree with you there. I didn't say -this- one had to be mass produced, it was a statement aimed at the general lot. Admittedly, rereading my post, that may have been inferred, but it wasn't meant to. I suppose that's the problem with such a granular artifact system... who's to say if this daiklave has 2 sockets or not, and what justifies taking a 2-socket daiklave over a 1-socket one, if the 1-socket is standard and all other things are equal?.

The only idea I've had is that perhaps if his daiklave does nothing else interesting, and has no other bonuses or tiny bits of niceness, then it might have 2 sockets instead. Since an interesting family blade could probably justly have some of those things.
