[QUOTE="gamerprinter, post: 5975297, member: 50895"] While not as simple, I am working on a Rite Publishing supplement for the Kaidan setting (Japanese horror) for Pathfinder RPG called 30 Ancestral Relics, that feature 30 different items from weapons and armor to sandals, hats even an awl (leather worker's tool). Like your 'soul bound' concept - each item was once owned by one of your ancestors, whose soul is bound to the item and only a descendant can use the arcane effects within each item. In the hands of a non-family member it works as a masterwork item only. Like Weapons of Legacy, these items level up as you level up (every other level) for 10 different arcane enhancements, 5 being +1's to hit/dam for weapons, some are +1's to a specific stat, etc. While the other 5 are skill check bonuses or other special properties. Unlike Weapons of Legacy, instead of XP and GP tax to upgrade items, Kaidan uses an Honor Score (0 - 10), each power up has a minimum honor score requirement, appropriate level, and an event trigger. An event trigger is something like, "must successfully bribe an official" sometime in the 2 levels prior to power up. This way a GM uses the built in event trigger or makes one's up that correspond to the current campaign - so it serves as a tool to keep the PCs on track in your campaign storyline. I'm working on the last few, then sending it to editing, so 30 Ancestral Relics from Rite Publishing, should be released in the next 30 days - and something that might fit your needs. [/QUOTE]
