[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 9061570, member: 6801845"] That's kind of a given in campaigns I run. This might need some buy-in from the other players in order for goals and motivations to align. Sounds like a cool long term goal, it can be difficult to balance out something like this if it's homebrew. On the other hand, if you can just make it fluff then I've had it work before - a "technomancer" with a gatling gun that he used to cast spells. Followed all the normal rules and restrictions, just required a gun. If they get artifacts, I'd consider making them potentially dangerous. Something you use when you absolutely have to but with major potential drawbacks with increasing risk the more it's used. Lots of ways to go with this, it's just not my preference to have items be more defining that PC abilities. Maybe introduce a situation where they have access to an artifact but can't keep it? Make it a group challenge of skills to use the artifact to it's potential? Lots of ideas. [/QUOTE]
