While the blade can be used for hand-to-hand combat, its primary purpose is as a weapon of stealth. The blade is designed for stealth, and members of the Order train in using it to exploit the weak points of enemies. They seek to live just like the blade itself: Unremarkable on the surface, but lethal to any enemy. It is a symbol of their order, as well as a personal symbol of their self mastery, commemorating the end of their training. Designed by the smiths of the Hidden Order centuries ago, this weapon is one of their most closely guarded secrets. However, putting it on reveals a small trigger that, when pressed, launches out a thin, razor sharp blade just under a foot long from a hidden sheath. However, I also don't want to make it something gamebreaking, or something that makes other party members jealous.Īt first glance, this simple leather bracer looks completely unassuming, with only a few simple patterns inlaid in the material. Since it's a more difficult quest, and since the Hidden Blade is definitely going to be a major part of their character arc, I want to make it a quality reward that can affect their playstyle. They'll then receive the blade along with some gold, and will be told by the old contact that they proved themselves, and followed the beliefs of their Order, acting as an end to the training they never finished, and earning them the hidden blade. The mission is planned to be moderately difficult, with a slight chance of permanent character death. The long term plan with the player is to essentially have them go through a redemption, becoming more selfless, and returning to their original mission, either as a full assassin, or just helping others as an adventurer. A member of their old organization contacted them and asked for their help with a specific mission. They then left, and started using their training selfishly for their own benefit instead, while still keeping a general code of not robbing those who can't afford it. Rogue is level 4 (might be 5 by the time they get it).Their backstory involves them training with an organization that uses stealth and assassination to help the weak (basically just the Assassins). Quick description of the situation/my plan: I'm currently trying to run a campaign, and came up with the idea of giving the rogue a Hidden Blade as a reward.
