Music Crafting Recipes Brainstorm Thread...

[lonnarin]

Felt in the mood for thinking up some CNR wishlists. Please feel free to comment and add items of your own invention...

Harp of Healing: Favored of Ilsarites and Aeridenites, this blessed harp is only usable by the pure of heart.  It's soothing melody calms the spirit and heals the body along with it.
Ingredients: 1 Gold Harp, 6 silver wires, 2 enchanted sapphires, 3 castings cure moderate wounds, 1 Blood of the Saint
Effects: Cure Serious Wounds 1x/day, Cure Light Wounds 2x/day, Perform +6, Heal +6, Only usable by Non-Evil

Cursed Chords of Corath: (guitar) A jet-black 6-string set with onyx stones, this blight on the ears wreaks havok and madness; hymns to the ear of the Black Sun.  It is said that the power of the chords consumes the artist, twisting his mind and drawing upon his very life's essence.
Ingedients: 1 mahogany guitar, 6 dark silk strands, 2 Planks of elmwood (for the fretboard), 4 castings Curse, 13 onyx, 1 Skull of the Black.

Chimes of Sounding: One sharp note may very well be the last thing you hear.  Very often, users of this percussive find the skulls of their foes to be most resonant.

Effects: Attack Bonus +2, +1d4 Sonic Damage, Blindness/Deafness per 5 charges DC 16, Iron Horn per 1 charge DC 16, Thunderclap DC 15 per 10 charges (50 total), Only usable by Chaotic

Pipes of Haunting: Eerie, mystical winds bored through the cursed teeth of a bodak, these pipes pierce through the very essence of life and death.  It's wretched resonance ensures the dead never to rest in peace.

That's all for now...

[Witch Hunter]

I like it.
 
 
 How about this.. (baldur's gate old timers should reckon this one)
 
 Harp of Discord: enter fancy description
 Ingredients: enter fancy ingredients
 Effects: Confusion 3x/day, Perform +2, Persuade +1, Bluff +1 Only usable by chaotic
 
 Horn of Silence: enter fancy description
 Ingredients: enter fancy ingredients
 Effects: Silence 4x/day

[darkstorme]

The horn of silence, I think, is a bit unlikely, given the lack of horn base items.  However:

Tarantelle Violin: Those of a nasty or mischievous bent love this violin.  It is said that any made by mortal hands are echoes of the legendary fiddle Mephistopheles himself plays when competing with mortal artists.  Any who hear it suddenly find themselves dancing to the fiddler's tune.
Ingredients: Mahogany Violin, 8 Essence of Charm, 2 castings Charm Person, 1 casting Dominate Person, 1 Fine Ruby
Effects: Charm Person 1 charge, DC 15; Dominate Person 5 charges, DC 20; Woodland Frolic 10 charges, DC 30.

Frets of Fire (guitar):  So named by the thrill-seeking bard Gerald Lilouiss, this gem-studded guitar seems to shimmer from an inner heat, and any chords plucked from its bright metal strings scream with the fury of the inferno.  Gerald, unfortunately, held too high a note at a performance at Pranzis, and the pitch cracked and shattered the flasks holding the alchemists' fire he intended for use to entertain the crowd between songs.  The flasks detonated all at once, and Gerald, very briefly, was a great ball of flame before he winked out.
Ingredients: Oak Guitar (no one would risk a mahogany instrument on this one), three enchanted fire opals, five enchanted fire agates, one electrical enchantment II (for the strings), 2 castings of Amplify, four Fire Bombs.
Effects: 3x/day Flame Lash, 2x/day Fireball 1x/day Incendiary Cloud, 1 use (consumes guitar), 40d6 fire damage at impact, no SR.
Special: Any use of the guitar is risky - 1% chance on any use, firebomb effect centred on owner.

Doesn't have to be a holdable item :O

[Acacea]

There are actually several horns in-game ... I think they are just waiting for a recipe inclusion and that's it. Unless you meant for the final product, as in a holdable item? In which case oh, yeah, I don't think so. Hehe. They'd be like the Bioware instruments, I think.

[Witch Hunter]

Yeah that's what I had in mind.. like the gnomish lenses 'n stuff, only usable by bards though for balance issues.

I really like these.  It would certainly give a new flair to instrument crafting.  

*snickers* I especially find it funny to retrieve the grandfathers ashes and not give them to the little girl.

[Witch Hunter]

Haha I just noticed that part! hillarious

[MJZ]

Well, you are "non-Good," after all!

I love these two ideas -

Harp of Healing: Favored of Ilsarites and Aeridenites, this blessed harp is only usable by the pure of heart. It's soothing melody calms the spirit and heals the body along with it.
Ingredients: 1 Gold Harp, 6 silver wires, 2 enchanted sapphires, 3 castings cure moderate wounds, 1 Blood of the Saint
Effects: Cure Serious Wounds 1x/day, Cure Light Wounds 2x/day, Perform +6, Heal +6, Only usable by Non-Evil

and the Chimes of Sounding. They look very, very appealing. And expensive -.-
