Revision as of 15:15, 30 September 2021

Holy Sheaths are zesty deity-based weapon sheaths that were initially released during June 2021 Rumor Woods and sold at Holy Sheaths. Holy sheaths will only hold one weapon, including runestaves, and will not hold any other type of item. The sheath will only hold up to a certain size of weapon depending upon its worn slot which cannot be deepened. Certificates can be purchased to unlock additional worn locations. The concept was designed by GameMaster Sindin and delivered by GM Naiken. Some scripts are not compatible.

Analyze

Below is a T4 unlocked ANALYZE for a Holy Sheath.

You analyze your vaalorn scabbard and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

This Holy Sheath is Tier 4 and can be unlocked one more time.  It allows for special messaging that varies based on the deity followed by the person using it.  There are five unlockable tiers, each with its own messaging or feature that can be toggled on/off in different combinations to suit the user.  Separate from the tier, additional worn locations may be unlocked as well.

The scabbard has access to: HOLD, FLIP (adjust worn location), TICKLE, PRAY (apply weapon aura)

It may be altered, but its base noun must remain either "sheath" or "scabbard," and its descriptions should not reference where the sheath is worn, as the worn location is subject to change.

Incompatible Scripts

The following scripts are known to be incompatible with the T4 PRAY effect for mechanical and/or thematic reasons. If your weapon behaves in unexpected ways after adding a weapon aura, please ASSIST so that a GameMaster can investigate and correct it.
