Ultimate Weapon Ideas

[xJimmyTheRev23]

So I recently sat down with a friend of mine and made some ultimate weapons for a campaign I'm running. I'm looking for any feedback about any aspect of these weapons. This is the first time I've tried to make something from scratch, so feedback is greatly appreciated.

Halberd -Venus gospel:

Weapon limit: Highwind – jump in to the air and come down dealing damage to all targets in a 15ft radius centered on a single target within 30ft of your original position. The central target is hit by the weapon itself with the addition of 1d6 wind damage and all the rest are hit by spears of wind damage dealing 3d8. Activate this limit with a standard action

Weapon limit: spirit overrun – the wielder creates a spirit copy of themselves on either side of their position and all 3 perform a united charge trampling everything in an area of 15 by 90 feet. The central 5ft line covered by the wielder takes 2d10x3 damage and the spirits deal 2d8x2 damage. Targets in the area can roll a reflex saving throw DC 10 plus the wielder’s ride modifier for half damage. Activate this limit as a full round action.

Alright heres my remakes of your weapons. Not sure why you included every stat. You can just state what weapon it is and any actual changes it needs. I fixed a lot of abilities and added in what i thought fit for FF style also made all limit breaks based around their current format. Sorry for an typos and all and hope this helps.

Note: Seemed fine. However the weapon limit bothered me, it seemed more like a toned down Falling meteor. For an ultimate weapon id do the same way your going just buff it like so, kinda like an upgraded falling meteor with a lowered range. Also id keep it two handed and im treating all these as large weapons even though they are medium that way damage is kinda on its own scale.

Venus gospel (Halberd)
Medium weapon
Piercing / slashing
Damage 2d8
Critical x3

Weapon bonus: +10 to Jump checks.

Weapon limit: Highwind
As a standard actrion the wielder jump in to the air and comes down dealing damage to all targets in a 15ft radius centered on a single target within 30ft of your original position. making an attack on the target within range, and if successful, the target and all creatures within the radius take Venus Gospels melee damage and an additional 2d6 wind damage plus an additional 2d6 damage per four character levels. All creatures affected must make a Reflex save (DC 10 + half character level + Strength modifier) or fall prone.

Note:I love gunblades, also im leaving them but i dont think you need to state their stats if they are based on already made weapons tho you do you!
Made the limit for you, Durandal is lightnings gunblade so i made a limit based on her. You may like it you may hate it lol It kinda works like samurais unseen strike really.

Durandal (Gunblade(Marksman))
Medium weapon
Slashing/
Damage 1d8
Critical 19-20 x2
Firearm: Piercing.
Range: 80ft
Misfire: 1-2
Capacity:10
Damage 3d6
Critical: x4

Weapon bonus: Wielder gains a +2 sacred bonus to Dexterity.

Weapon Limit: Crimson Blitz
As a standard action the wielder swings and fires Durandal at the same time, spinning in a whirlwind formation sending a wave of crimson lighting around them. The Weider makes a melee attack against all enemies within a 30ft radius of them and if successful deals melee and ranged damage to them as well as 1d6 lightning damage plus an additional 1d6 damage per four character levels. This limit breaks consumes a bullet.

Note: Changed limit wording. Also why are you stating Percentages instead of like 19-20 for critical? You might have a a house rule where on hit you role a d100 which actually sounds cool.. but anyways im just curious

Azure blade (Longsword)
Medium weapon
Damage Type: S/P
Damage 2d6
Critical range 19-20 x2
Weapon bonus: +20 MP

Weapon Limit: Azure control
Make a melee attack on an enemy creature, on a successful hit they must pass a Will save (DC:10+half character level+ spell casting modifier) or become the wielders ally for 1 round + 1 round per four character levels. This is a compulsion effect.

Note: ALRIGHT this one was pretty OP. Based it around FF13-3 the summoner garb. Gave it a ever changing damage type and change your fire strike to elementa which kinda works the same way. Also I would never half mp completely. You will regret it. I promise. Id totally go for 3 times a day though to half ONE spell. Limit break: NO. Whew. NO. But i got you. Your summoner will hate you. Making them summoner every avatar at once. Then you will hate them. You don't want Limit breaks to be "I get to 50% and i win" So i gave you grand summon.

Nirvana (Power Staff)
Medium light weapon
Damage Type: May choose elemental damage at will as a free action.

Weapon ability: Elementa:As a standard action Nirvana produces a vertical column of divine elements roaring downward. The ability deals 1d6 points of elemental damage per caster level (maximum 15d6).

Any creatures whose HP falls to 0 turns to dust and can only be revived by the Full Life spell.

Note: Changed wording for ability, changed bonus to fit the Anima name and gave your ability a name based on 2 hour ability of black mage from ff11. Also took out the need of black magic. Less thats your thing.
