What is the effect in game terms to wielding a sword that constantly belches out smoke?

Is it like the smoke from a torch or is it smoke that obscures vision and causes problems?

Since there is no specific game info that I can find anywhere, I'm thinking of just making it so that when it is drawn, it is whispy smoke like from the embers of a flame. Nothing more.

Anyone have the list of pawns from the set?

I would like to create a table listing the countries of the Inner Sea and assign COMMON/UNCOMMON/RARE/VERY RARE to each of them for purposes of Character or Item History.

Does anyone have any ideas on this?

Done. Thanks.

you dont get what i am saying.

what is rare in andor, is not rare in absalom, you need to create some guideliness, otherwise no one will be able to help.

I understand exatly what you are saying. That's not what I'm looking for though.

I'm using a program called tablesmith. With it you can create or use tables to generate results. I've created a table that will randomly generate a description and history for magic items or hierlooms that could be found in a treasure hoard or as the subject of a quest.

Someone has created a table for the lands and countries in Greyhawk that I can incorporate into my table. I would like to do the same for pathfinder. to find out more look up the Random DM blog or the yahoo group for tablesmith.

Right now my table could generate the following:
"The sword is gleaming silver with woodland creatures engraved on the blade. Hoite Swiftwind from the Yeomandry was the last owner. He carried the blade through many great adventures in Idee, Almor and the Bandit Kingdoms."

I have listed all of the countries of the Inner Sea in a table and any one of them has an equal chance of being selected. I would like to weight the output of the table further by applying a higher percentage chance for those kingdoms with larger populations.

one major problem.

Andor might be uncommon to cheliax, but cheliax is uncommon to andor.

It totally depends on the country of origin, andor is common next to cheliax, and river kingdoms is rare.

but river kingdoms compared to a country beside it, no map numiria?

you have to pick an X point.
then everything will radiate out from X, so until you decide on your X country these tables are impossible to do.

True. I do realize that it's not a perfect system, but no random table ever is. If an NPC is a dwarf or elf, that also affects the percentages. Evil or good is also a factor.

I think that I'm going to set a general percentage based on the overall population of humans for item histories with a bonus based on the age of the country.

As far a ncp backgrounds, of course 99% of npc's will be from the country where the adventure take place. Of the 1% not, 90% will be from neighboring countries. The percentages will be different for adventuring NPCs.

I wanted to make a random table for npc backgrounds, item histories or book titles.

ei.
Ishgar the rogue hails from Taldar.

Rumor holds that The amulet of Silot was last seen worn by a merchant prince from The River Kingdoms.

The infernal book is know to have been used in Druma, Nidal and Chleiax.
