Re: What is Your Favorite Item?
Similar type of thing. The idea was that I wanted to hand out Magical Items to the players but that the items would not need to be upgraded as the power level increased. I also wanted to promote heroism in the players.
HERO BLADES.
Ten magic Items made by the worlds most powerful ever Articifer to arm his country's generals in a rebellion against an evil empire. 800 years later and one turns up and works it's way into a PC's hands..
The blades themselves are twinned with the wielder and start to take on the characteristics and power level of him (or her). The more Heroic the wielder is the more powerful the weapon becomes.
A side effect of the blade's power was that the blade bought off the NCM for the wielder. I never told the player that, I wanted to wait and see if anyone was willing to pay to go beyond that threshold and then I was goona tell 'em.
