Comments/Notes
Ok, I liked lightning torment hatchets, but are they really worth 5 artifact dots? I mean, really. Can we work out an abyssal version, made from soulsteel and causes pain rather than electrical discharge for the penalties. -- ReallyBored
I think we can probably find something to take the place of lightning troment hatchets. Maybe, instead of lightning, barbed tentacles of dark essence enwrap and stab at the target. Or something and stuff. -- RyanL
Yeah, something like that. Still looking for hearthstones, though the Ghost Lantern and Blood Miser from the hearthstones page here look interesting. Just wish I could turn the Ghost Lantern on and off. -- ReallyBored
Hmmm, which book is the Ghost Lantern located in? -- RyanL
It's, err, here...as in on the wiki: AbyssalLevelOne, Blood miser is at BloodHearthstones. --ReallyBored
I really should learn to read better. ;) I don't see why the Ghost Lantern can't be turned on and off. It's a homebrew hearthstone so a minor change like that shouldn't make it totally out of whack. -- RyanL
