Dark Sun Artifact: Bonesaw

 Bonesaw

Bonesaw is a magical shortsword, or gladius, created in the elemental plane of water. The sword has a hard wood handle, a single large tooth blade, with smaller, razor sharp, teeth connected to the sides of the main blade. It resembles a macuahuitl, but with sharp teeth instead of obsidian blades.
Bonesaw does not have any material penalties, for being made of bone.

New Potion Fruits 02

 

Durian Fruit

Potion fruits are one of the most interesting differences between Dark Sun and other TSR settings. Although it is a simple difference, I believe it adds something special and unique to the Dark Sun World. Also, the ability to, possibly, grow more magical fruits is a major bonus. In the process of growing more fruits, you risk losing all of them, which is another harsh Dark Sun trait.
I my game, I choose to not have potion fruits rot. This means the group may find them in ancient ruins or modern complexes. If you choose to have potion fruits rot in your game, I would suggest making them rot a lot slower than fruits in the real world.
I had a lot of fun creating new potions in my last potion fruit article and it appeared to be a popular article as well. So, I have created some more using more exotic fruits. All of the fruits are real and more information can easily be gathered about them. I hope you enjoy them.

Use the chart below to randomly choose the type of fruit, color of fruit, and potion type. Roll as many times as you like, or just choose the best combination for your game.

Prickly Pear

Cherries. For some reason when assigning the fruit part of potion fruits, cherries are the first fruit to pop into my mind. It is perhaps because I love cherries, but so many potions being cherries wasn't particularly interesting for my players. In addition, all the fruit I thought of was common to the modern United States.
If you have the same problem as I do, this article is for you. I have decided to write up some random tables for selecting the type of fruit, color, and magical properties for your Dark Sun game. I hope you enjoy them.
