This ancient Zhu-style wujian (longsword) is decorated with elaborate carvings that suggest a holy purpose. It is firmly sheathed in a matching scabbard wrought of an unknown bronze-like metal, which gives the impression that the sword and scabbard are made of one piece and material.

While still resembling a one-handed weapon, its proportions are unusual. The pommel and guard are almost comically robust. The sword's  length is prodigious, and its breadth is double that of other Zhu swords. In its heavy scabbard, the sword appears massive, exaggerated, and possibly only decorative. In spite of this, it feels remarkably light and well-balanced in the hand, even while remaining in its scabbard.

Attempts to draw the sword are unsuccessful. It seems like the scabbard and weapon are fused, meaning the sword can only be used for bludgeoning attacks.

Holding it, one has the impression that the sword hums slightly, a vibration running down its length, resonating with the user's own inner Chi force. This energy can be gathered and projected through the sword by a Chi-user.

Feng Yaoshi was entrusted with the Fate-Changing Sword, an ancient weapon of terrible power. Long ago, the Fate-Changing Sword was sealed into its scabbard, where its energies remained dormant. Feng was taught the Sleeping Saint Stance by the reclusive heretic Heartless Xiaolang of Cicada Island, which allowed him to channel the power of the Fate-Changing Sword (which has come to be called the Sleeping Sword).

CHI BURST ATTACK
d8 x Prof  damage  /  reach: 15'
xl / LR or SR -  cost: l Focus

DC(x) Con save vs damage and push/prone effect

Once per rest, at the cost of l Focus point, the sword can generate the equivalent of the Thunderwave spell effect in a 15-foot cube. Those in range make a CON save vs the wielder's Focus DC. 

On a failed check, they take (D8 x Proficiency Bonus) Force damage, and are pushed 10ft away. A save check of less than 10 means they are also knocked prone. 

On a save, they take half damage and are not pushed. Objects within range are also pushed away. The spell emits a thunderous boom as the air around the wielder is displaced.

PELT of the GOLDEN BOAR

(exotic cloak)

Animal pelt cloak:

• +l AC (stacking) when worn as cloak
• no dex penalty / no stealth penalty for sound (but it's shiny)

---

A magnificent cloak made from the pelt of an immense magical boar. The thick fur gleams as if gilded, giving the pelt a golden sheen, and drawing the attention of all. Due to its metallic bristles, it grants +l AC to the wearer.

It is no heavier than normal fur, and protects one from the elements just the same. It may be worn over armour, but cannot be stacked with other similar special items.

This pelt once carried with it a shape-shifting curse, but it is said that this curse only affected the King of Thessios.
