[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 5478109, member: 63"] Quick brainstorm thread. Let's come up with ideas for epic magic items, and what they're doing before the PCs find them. My idea: The Tyrant’s Eye Seven hundred years ago, the dragon Yerev controlled a small empire, cowing his enemies with the power of his unblinking third eye. It was said this pale, scarred orb could slay any creature it could see. On a moonless night, an army of thousands rose up against the dragon tyrant and managed to slay the beast, but when he collapsed, his eye remained open, killing any who crossed its path. Nearby townsfolk carefully surrounded Yerev with all his treasure to appease his spirit, then carted the soil from the nearby hills to bury his corpse, finally blinding his eye. Supposedly the only sign today of Yerev’s cairn is a field of lush potato flowers. Only the most foolish or desperate seek the treasure, lest they inadvertently unearth the deadly eye. It would be a +6 orb that you'd need to keep covered at all times. You can feel it trying to turn in your hand, enraged that you have blinded it. If you pull aside the rune-sewn cloth concealing it, it blinds and deals damage to all creatures in close blast 20. You must cover it in treasure afterward in order to recharge it, or else it grows angry at you, and will take any chance to leap from your hand to slay you as well. [/QUOTE]
