THE QIWU SWORD (RBRB)

This is an attempt to game the film The Sword for Righteous Blood Ruthless Blade, me and Jeremy's wuxia TTRPG published by Osprey. In the movie there is a weapon called the Qiwu Sword, and it is heavily suggested it is cursed but effective. I highly recommend the film and you can see my review of it HERE


THE QIWU SWORD

This blade looks like a well-crafted jian with an ornately decorated wood handle and sheathe, a guard and pommel of matching black. The blade itself also seems dark in certain light. It is reputed to bring back fortune to the wielder. Some even say if it is discarded, the bad luck still returns to the owner.

The Qiwu Sword does Muscle+1d10 Damage, bestows a +1d10 to attacks but does 3 Extra wounds on a Total Success. It is also capable of cutting through weapons that parry it. If anyone parries, there is a 5 in 10 chance the weapon they block the attack with is cut in half, and that the attack continues on and does damage as normal. This also applies to any counter that redirects, or evades a melee in attack in someway (except there is a 3 in 10 chance the attack still goes through, and in these other cases, the blade doesn't slice through anything to do so). 

Anyone wielding the Qiwu Sword is subject to two major effects. The first is that if they are made to roll on the death and maiming table, they must roll twice and take the worst of the two results. The second is they face more challengers and grudge encounters than other people. When they roll on the Encounter Table, us this table instead of the standard one provided on page 136: 

ENCOUNTER TABLE
2d10        Result

2-10          Grudge Encounter
11-15         Challenger 
16             Ally or Friend 
17-19        Complication
20             Twist
