[QUOTE="doghead, post: 4100672, member: 8243"] general - eberron mcguffin Intersting. I thought I would have a crack at this as a challenge. . . . . . . Nope. Nothing. There is too much there I don't know enough about. But personally, the Crown is something I would be tempted to keep either it or its power out of the hands of the PC's. On that I do have some thoughts. There are plenty of ways you could keep the Crown out of the PC's hands, and keep it McGuffinland. The Crown sounds like serious mojo, and so it would be the kind of thing some very powerful people, perhaps even gods, would be interested in. Eberron has plenty of organisations and power groups to choose from. Work out who is interested, why they want it, how much they want it, what they know about the state of play and then set them loose. 6/7th isn't that high a level. It may be relatively high level for Eberron characters. But there are still plenty of fairly 'ordinary' creatures that could present a serious obstacle. The PC's are not beyond being brought down by a larger group of lower level warriors with a little magic and some smarts. Any one of the Dragonmarked houses could probably muster a force strong enough to overwhelm the PC's in fairly short order. Xendrik is a dangerous place. From memory (its been a while since I read the Eberron book) its home ground for at least on interested party. Other groups could get their act fast long enough to disrupt the PC's plans. Even if the players do get it, its not like artefacts of this power are likely to be plug-n-play. Allow the PC's access to some minor powers perhaps (like the one mentioned, but without the control aspect), but keep the major ones out of reach, and unknown. Meanwhile, apply the pressure to the party until they decide the Crown is too much of a burden. Several interested parties gives the PC's several options out to choose from. It sounds like an interesting game. Good luck with it. doghead aka thotd [/QUOTE]
