Gift of Arms

As a god of warfare and violent death, the first gifts a devotee of Khorne may receive are arms and armour with which he may do his master's bidding. These can range from protection in the form of the unearthly plate known as Chaos Armour, or the Collars of Khorne like those worn by his Fleshhounds, to potent weapons of arcane and mystic origins. These cursed weapons have powers of many kinds.   The most common sorts are defiled creations, which forever mar and taint those that wield them. The most favoured among the devout may bear a weapon containing the essence of a daemon of the Blood God.   Such items are scarce and highly prized amongst his champions because of the devastation they can wreak. They ignore the reality that each time they place their hand upon its hilt they lock wills with a capricious enemy with the evil intelligence of ages, which may not best appreciate its imprisonment. As part of his gift these, or any form of weapon, may be bound and fused with the flesh of the champion so that where their hand or arm once was, their body merely flows straight into the blade. Many recipients of this gift enjoy such disfigurement for it declares to all their dedication to the warrior path.   Finally, there are such arms the Blood Lord may grant that are beyond all mortal comprehension; arcane and mysterious weapons of great power that do fire as a crossbow, balls of fire or solid beams of light that char and vaporise whatever they strike.
