Saberhagen's Twelve Swords (2E version)

Fred Saberhagen wrote a series of books about some god-forged swords that changed the face of the world. It's a cool series of books and the swords were really neat. As presented in the books, each sword would be an artifact of incredible power. In an old 2E AD&D game I ran, I didn't want them to be quite that powerful, so I decided that in my world, a native wizard would have heard of the story of the swords and recreated them as best he could (which means that their powers don't quite match what the book swords did, as I took some artistic license in the conversion). Thus, I would have non-artifact swords in my game.

These are the 2E AD&D writeups of the swords. I will convert them to 3E D&D when I get around to it (both the artifact version and the non-artifact version, and make them as accurate as possible) but for now this will have to do.

The formatting of this file is weird (spell names are capitalized, for example) because this used to be a .txt document on my old ftp site and I'm too lazy to convert it properly (especially when I'm just going to redo the whole thing anyway). This guy has his own 3E conversion of the swords, check it out, since I haven't done mine yet. :)

The swords are copyrighted by Fred Saberhagen and this conversion is not a challenge to his ownership of these concepts.
