Description

“Now you have gained the Sword of Protection, and become She-Ra, as you were always meant to do. The rest is up to you.”
        —Sorceress

She-Ra’s Sword of Protection provides her with numerous fabulous powers detailed below:

◊She-Ra’s attacks with the sword have a penetrating Damage rank of 6 and an additional 12 ranks of penetrating damage linked to the wielder’s Strength ability. With the Honor of Grayskull in effect, She-Ra’s penetrating Damage rank becomes 18! However, the entire effect is limited to non-living targets such as objects and robots. 12

◊In addition to dealing damage, attacks with the Sword of Protection also subject objects to a Weaken Toughness effect which works on the targeted object at its maximum degree of success (objects lose 12 points from their Toughness with each successful attack)! The Damage and Weaken effects are linked and resolve simultaneously; they resist the damage effect with their full Toughness score as of the moment of the attack. 12

◊The Sword of Protection has the Indestructibility weapon property, although the magical jewel which focuses some of She-Ra’s powers can be damaged (resulting in a temporary power loss complication). 1

◊She-Ra can use her sword to defend herself against nearly any attack. While she uses a standard action to focus on deflecting incoming attacks, she gains Immunity all attacks which target her active defenses. These attacks automatically fail, even on a natural 20! Her current Dodge or Parry defense scores are irrelevant. She-Ra must have the Sword of Protection in hand and must not be vulnerable or defenseless (see Conditions) to activate or maintain this ability. This is a 20 point concentration effect.

“Sword to lasso!”
 ◊At She-Ra’s command, the Sword of Protection can transmute into nearly anything and gains new properties as appropriate. The sword remains indestructible, however it loses the Damage and Immunity effects detailed above. 21
