[QUOTE="Trit One-Ear, post: 6085651, member: 6678017"] Feeling posty today. My campaign's half-Orc paladin of Oghma has been less involved in plot progression of late, and as a result his player has started acting disinterested. This is not a huge problem if he's enjoying himself, but I'm starting to feel I'm not giving him enough as a DM. This must be fixed! Next session, the heroes are off to the a ruined temple of Oghma (which houses a secret entrance into the lair of some gnolls harassing the countryside. Loosely related to this post). In order to give Norkas the Wise something more substantial for his character to have going on, he's going to find a ruined holy relic of Oghma amongst the rubble. Looking at his character sheet, he has no implement attack powers, so my first thought of a holy symbol won't have much appeal to him. The weapons I found on the compendium that can be used as a holy symbol didn't excite me (and Oghma has no items associated with him). So I'm left to make one! Any advice you lot have would be amazing. He's a currently a spear and shield paladin, but has used other weapons before. While worshipping Oghma, he has not built himself around knowledge skills, so in order for this item to be appealing for him, it'd have to have some combat power, while still feeling Oghma-ish. Ultimately, I want to give him a chance to restore this once great weapon to its full glory. Until then, it should be an awesome weapon for him, with some knowledge boosting abilities (possibly). At work ATM (shhh) so my thoughts are elsewhere, but will try to take a stab at something when I get home. In the meantime, feel free to chime in! Trit [/QUOTE]
