I like to relate it to going on a Reverse-Quest, where you get the reward first and then have to fight the monster later, except the monster is hunting you.I cant really relate to the "GM never giving requirements" as the only hard to find reagent are Gemstones, and even with weak gems an Artificer has a ton of options. An artificer hoping to make a Vorpal Sword is like an alchemist trying to make an Elixir of Immortality: Sure you CAN, but it would take a series of adventures to acquire the ingredients. Meanwhile, if an Artificer were to find a weak gem and some creativity can make some really spectacular artifices.I made a few Artifices for the Players in my game a while back, so i'll share them to give you an idea of what you can do with the weakest gems possible.______________________Ring of the Guilty Handshake    The creature touching the Ring has their sense of touch overloaded, and it is disabled for 6 seconds. Activates by Striking the ring against a creature.   Requires any Amethyst.  Requires any Ring.    Requires 1 Brain of any creature and some of their Skin.  Requires eight hours to create the Circle of Power.  Creates an Anti-Artifice who is incapable of seeing illusions or hearing lies, who is cruel, and is incapable of being struck by physical attacks.

The Anti-Artifice takes pleasure in torturing creatures it senses.</blockquote>
