Themed +1 Store
-
Hey guys,
We currently have a good/celestial themed store in the module and a neutral hullack/orc store. I'm guessing this is generally well known by now since they were put in about five months ago and I've seen people discuss them in game. The purpose of these stores is to provide +1 gear that is buyable while throwing in some minor weaknesses at the same time. This was due to the fact that crafting is no longer availible but we still wanted players to be able to get +1 equivilent items.
I'm currently looking to add a third store in but am stuck for a theme. I'd be looking for either an evil-only type store to counterbalance the good one, or a neutral store which most characters would have no qualms using the items from.
Please don't discuss the location or means of getting into these stores in this thread, as this is a spoiler, but if you have a cool idea for a location to match your idea then PM me.

Unseelie Fey selling weapons, armour, trinkets etc. that is chaotic with evil undertones (eg. a sword with a "blade" made from a giant's bone that lowers wisdom/damage in exchange for having a slim chance to confuse anyone it hits)
-
Some cool evil things woul be nice!

Lots of Choatic weapons with odd quirks…
Like Unstable longsword
This blade is enchanted with VERY unstable yet powerful magic
+1 magic
+1d4 acid lawful
10% damage vulerable vs fire
10% damage vulerable vs ice

How about stuff for Lawful Evil? I am certain there are certain people out there who want to do evil secretly, or in front of law enforcer noses.

I think the obvious choice would be a Tiefling store, while most Tieflings are inherently evil to an extent, there are cases of them being neutral or even chaotic good.
The other theme I think may fit in nicely is a band of Portal Walkers who sell items from the extra-planar.
EDIT: In relation to the Portal Walkers idea, the entry method could be tied in with the current portal system using the same method to activate them.

I'm thinking perhaps a goblin store with lots of crude and evil weapons and devices. Since its goblin, it would most certainly be flawed, but at the same time, very chaotic themed and with some truly wicked items for those daring to use them.
Another alternative is a Githyanki store with varieties of exotic and planar items with various effects that can be harmful to humans but don't affect outsiders for instance. They would be more civilized, but still evil with cruel weapons and risky armours to wear.
A tiefling shop cover a wider range of evil, and would also open for a great variety of effects, both beneficial and negative for the wearer. I don't think linking it to the portal net would be good as it is supposed to be a long, hard, dangerous journey there. Including that it would be well hidden. Possibly also half-fiend themed to make it more exotic and raise the bar for neutral characters to go there.
Goblin would be the easiest to make, while the tiefling would be most sexy by far. The gith make sense as they have historical ties with the CoA setting from what I gather. I'll not suggest any locations here.

How about a travelling salesman with items that could be used by all? Could a fellow like this be scripted who wanders the server aimlessly with his store?
-
Maybe it could be seperated in different sellers, depends on what they sell, For example use a hidden drow in the sewers to sell some unstable underdark weapons, and maybe a merchant in the city who will have some "evil" accessories that will be available as special equipment only to evil characters

this an idea a GAMING gear store! that sells stuff like this
D20 the dice once roll casts a spell then vasinshes!; Works like a rod wonder!
The powerful character sheet!, Just looking at this masterfully built character makes you feel stronger!…Really just a tensors transformation scroll.
The magic pencil it draws monsters that come to life: something that summons mosters.
The chain mail bikini this chain shirt and thong barely covers anything yet protects just as well and will turn eyes! if not leaving you exposed toi the elements. A normal chain shirt with + 2 to bluff,persuade,diplomacy 10% vul to cold!.
This could be a RICH vine of ideas here!

put the new store where folks dont explore much. That'll give a reason for people to explore! Place it in dangerouns palces too maybe? So people need help getting there?
-
When you say that the only place we do not have a +1 store at, is the Underdark. Rarely explored, dangerous, and a good place for Evil goods.
