So Estelang and Malanteth's sword are pretty much the same: Superior Fell (+2 Injury?), Superior Grievous (+2 damge?) and Keen, plus their Bane (which is a little different, both bane to Evil Men but the former being bane to Undead and the latter being bane to Orcs). Is this what the stats would be?
regular sword: Damage: 4 Injury: 16 pierce on a 10+
Estelang/Malanteth Damage 6 Injury: 18 pierce on a 9+
Correct? And what does the feature "Bane" do?
Thanks for the clarification.

Re: Confused on sword stats
When used against a Bane creature, weapons of Númenórean craftsmanship with Superior Grevious and Superior Fell add the bearer’s VALOUR to damage and injury, if that's higher than the standard +1/+2 bonus.

Re: Confused on sword stats
OK, great, thanks. I think I get it. So say a character had 3 valour, it would then go from 4 damage to 7 and 16 injury to 19.

Re: Confused on sword stats
Yes, Confused is the right word for a great many things in this game. It is a continual struggle... worth it, I think, but continual.
Anyway, the Hero's Sword, Estelang, is generally described on page 39 of Tales from the Lone Lands. Where is it FULLY described?
I 'googled' that question and was presented with:
--
The stats for the Elven sword Estelang are found in the scenario "Messing About in Boats" in the campaign supplement Tales from the Lone-Lands for The One Ring RPG (Second Edition).Estelang is a Famous Weapon (and a Bane Weapon) with the following exact statistics:

- Damage: 6

- Edge (Piercing Blow): 9+
- Load: 2
- Reward: Superior Fell (+2 Injury)
- Reward: Superior Grievous (+2 Damage)
- Reward: Keen (Lowers the Edge threshold for a Piercing Blow by 1, making it trigger on a 9 or higher)
- Special Quality (Bane): Bane of Undead and Evil Men
- Bane: When fighting Undead or Evil Men, the damage boosts scale. Normally, Superior Grievous adds +1 to damage, but against your specific Bane foes, it instead adds your character's Valour.
- Piercing Blows: Because of the combination of Keen and the sword's natural stats, a Piercing Blow is triggered on any Feat Die result of 9 or 10

Re: Confused on sword stats
Also, if Estelang is a 'Wondrous Item", then what are its Blessings?
[edit]
Or, maybe it's neither a Wondrous Item nor a Marvellous Artefact... ?
[another edit]
Yes, it's neither... it's a Magical Weapon. Still, back to my original question (above), where are its complete characteristics defined?
Cheers!

Re: Confused on sword stats
p39 of Tales tells you what the qualities are. It tells you it's a sword (I suppose you could decide if it's a plain sword or a longsword), the stats for which are in the CRB, p48. The Rewards and Bane are described on p79, 162, 163. You use that information to piece it together.

Re: Confused on sword stats
Where did you find 'campaign supplement Tales from the Lone-Lands'? I mean, I have all the books here but nowhere is a supplement to be found that says Estelang is a sword with 6 damage.

Re: Confused on sword stats
Maybe it's just AI getting the info from what I originally posted. It then becomes an endless loop as AI gets it's own (wrong?) info and keeps spreading it...
But yeah, they should have just put in a little stat block in the book! Or at least explain again in that spot what is meant by superior grievous etc. and what kind of sword it would be.
