[QUOTE="Dr_Ruminahui, post: 5768891, member: 81104"] I too dislike the "moving on" and "concordance boost for leveling up" rules. That and my campaign is a home brew, which means that I'm not as fond of items with histories tied into established settings. That said, I have a number of home made artifacts in my campaign that have in-campaign abilities - for example, they have an orb that can basically suck any creature into an extra-dimensional prison. It was designed - and had been used previous to the campaign - to kidnap a god. They've had it for about 10 levels now, though they've only recently learned how to use it. Another is the cleric's neck slot item (he's a pacifist cleric of the nature goddess) that is an apple sized acorn. If planted in the right place, it will instantly grow to be a red wood sized tree. The tree is also a "tercera" - a home made item type that strengthens a god's attachment to and power in a particular location/plane. Prior to getting this one he had another one, but planted it in a desecrated cathedral to push back the shadowfell - needless to say, said cathedral no longer has a roof. :) The above cleric also has another tercera (in the form of a large stone - it was previously sentient and very annoying), though that one is attuned to a far realms god. The cleric plans to reconsecrate it to his goddess, which requires him to carve it into a corner stone with the hammer and chisel of the best 2 stonemasons on this plane, baptise 3 people and birth 7 babies on it, and have it present when a wise old person dies of natural causes (he's trying to use it to empasize the goddess's "civilization" domain). So, yeah, I love me some artifacts, but preferably ones with "plot" rather than mechanical effects. [/QUOTE]
