Bâl Laud

Bâl Laud is the magnum opus of Sindri, the legendary craftsman of Mjolnir, crafted in tandem with the so-called “Lord of Artifice”. It is a fine hammer of unmatched craftsmanship, highly prized as the only means for the craft of mortals to rival the gods.

Bâl Laud gains the following properties:

  • +6 Skillful Warning Spellblade (Greater Dispel Magic) Shattermantle Wand Chamber Initiative Greater Dispelling Adamantine Pearl Steel Light Hammer.
  • Artifact Creation (Su): Use of Bâl Laud enables the creation of once impossible items, artifacts of old. This allows the creation of magic items that exceed the normal market price limits.
  • Tool of Legends (Su): Bâl Laud has a pool of 100,000 experience points tokens. When the wielder of Bâl Laud takes downtime to recharge their experience points tokens, the hammer recharges its pool likewise. The hammer’s pool can only be expended in the creation of magic items of epic or greater renown.
  • Exceed greatness (Su): An artificer wielding Bâl Laud treats their effective caster level as twice that provided by the artificer Item Creation feature for the purpose of meeting prerequisites. Additionally it provides +15 bonus to Use Magic Device checks.
  • Mind Over Matter (Su): While Bâl Laud is on your person you can use your Intelligence modifier instead of your constitution modifier to determine bonus hit points.
  • Experience Overflow (Su): The bonus experience points tokens gained from feats is one and a half times the listed amount.
  • Food for Thought (Ex): Using the time dilation of Lucid Dreaming, if you are trained in the Lucid Dreaming skill, you can continue to design items during your sleep. While sleeping you can use a quarter of the time to continue crafting.
  • Dreamhammer (Ex): If Bâl Laud is not wielded by someone for 5 years or at its current wielder request, Bâl Laud returns to its resting place on top of an anvil in the Dreamheart. While it rests there, it broadcasts dreams to suitably skilled crafters, beckoning them to claim it.
  • Caster Level: 30th
