[QUOTE="Amatiel, post: 7646542, member: 6791461"] I liked 5e's idea of boons, and I intend to incorporate the idea into my Pathfinder2e campaign. Boons are basically bonus abilities, feats or powers that are gained from a Power, Entity or Arcane Ritual. One of the first boons I will be granting is the following. I intend to introduce some rune magic flavor to my campaign, and wanted to grant some boons along that theme. I decided that Focus Abilities provide an excellent basis for this type of progression. The PC's discover an ancient runestone. They will need to undertake some research & rituals, but will be able to unlock the runstones power. Once they do, it will bestow the ability below, where-upon the runestone will become non-magical.
