I was re-reading all of the LW books at project aon, and I keep coming across special items, some of which I used, some of which I never used. So I thought it would be great if we pooled all of our memories to come up with a list that shows every single special item you could ever get in the LW books.
One of the purposes of this thread is to convert some of those special items into the rpg, so we can add them as soon as possible to our campaigns as well. So without further adieu, I will start with some:
Crystal star pendant, received in Flight from the Dark, when you rescued Banedon from some Giaks. Not sure if it ever had any properties in the LW books, but it is already converted in the rpg.
Sommerswerd, Kewlest sword evar! If you never got this sword, then you never really got to the essence of Lone Wolf. With this sword, Lone Wolf was never really alone, he had this sword. Anyway, you got it in Fire on the Water, and it is definitely converted in the LW rpg.
Kalte Firesphere, Another neat Joe Dever invention. You received it in Caverns of Kalte, from some crazy ice barbarians. Mainly provided you with light for the rest of the books, instead of using a torch. Don't ever remember throwing it like they describe in the rpg, but oh well. It is converted in the rpg.
Black Crystal Cube, Proves Dever had a malicious side. The ultimate red herring, this cube would blow up when you least needed it to, and you often got killed because of it. A darklord invention. Not converted in the rpg, I would say it does a 6d6 explosion in a 20' radius, and can be telepathically activated by any drakkirim, nadizirim, or darklord. There were several books you could get this little stinker.
Blue Stone Triangle, Don't know why I love this little special item, but I do. You get it in caverns of Kalte, and it opens a door for you. But you can also use it in Shadow on the Sand, and you get to the book of the magnakai this way. Not converted, but I would say that it is a minor magic item uses to open magic doors created by some elder magical race (perhaps shianti or the elder magi?)
Silver Helmet, Loved this item, because it came witha kewl drawing in the novels. Got it in Caverns of Kalte, and it is magical as well. Wonderfully converted in the rpg as well.
Korlinium Scabbard, Get it in book 12, from Banedon (or Rimoah, not sure). Protects the Summerswerd from Darklord detection. Not statted in the rpg, so I would say that it basically casts non-detection against all right-handed magic.
Bullwhip, If you are suspicious of a hut in book 9 (or 10, I am not sure) you get in a fight with some guy that otherwise would be happy to share a meal with you. You kill him and take his stuff, and one of them is a great looking bullwhip that has studs of copper stiched through. Ouch! I would convert it into a masterwork bullwhip that does the next higher damage die for said weapon type (for instance, if it does 1d4, normally, it would do 1d6 with this weapon.)
Kagonite Chainmail, You take it off a dead Drakkirim captain in the naval battle in book 12 (If it weren't for fellow board member Paido, I wouldn't know where to look! I had to go back twice before I found it! Thanks Paido!). Anyway, in LW, it adds to your CS and endurace. Not converted in the rpg, I would make it basically elven chain with a damage reduction of 2 as well.
Dagger of Vashna, received in book 4, and ably converted in the rpg. 'nuff said.
Silver Bow of Duadon, Had to beat a tough ranger in book 6 to win this in a contest. Whatever you do, don't let a bowyer in later books test it out either. Statted and converted in rpg. Since it said master duadon was the best, I would either give it another +1 enhancement bonus, or i would increase the range increments, or both.
Golden Amulet, Another necklace from your friend Banedon, it allows you to survive the noxious fumes and atmosphere of the darklands. Received in book 12. Not converted, so I would say that it makes you immune to dmage from noxious fumes, gases and airborne poisons.
Helshezag, another darklord weapon. Evil weapon, it aids you in battle (gives you a +7 i think, but it takes endurance points from you), but it slowly leeches your health. Not converted. But I would convert things and add a little twist. When it is described, it says it ais a piece of night sky, a blade of void. It sure does remind me of Elric's blade Stormbringer, and later tsr "converted" stormbringer in the classic adventure White Plume Mountain into a blade called BlackRazor. I would just import this balde into the rpg, and it is converted for 3e in Arms and Equipment guide. A perfect conversion? Absolutley not, but I always liked that blade myself, and the powers are somewhat similar. If you wanted a perfect conversion I would give it a +8 bonus to attack, ignore all damage reduction, and on the second round it starts leeching away 1ep a round from your total (fortitude save dc35 to resist, unless you are a darklord or practitioner of right-handed magic).
Towel, You get it when you take a bath in book 5 after you come out of the sewers. Takes up 2 spaces in your backpack. I carried it for 3 books thinking I would need it sometime. Stupid me. I always smile when I look at my list of safekeeping itmes and see towel listed there. Also a bar of perfumed soap I got in book 1!
Thats all I will write about now, I would love to see everyone else's contributions!
