This would give you a way of increasing or decreasing the armour/weapons abilities not only through the PC levelling but also through RP actions. Concordance can go up and down depending on a set of circumstances that are appropriate for the item/PC/campaign and can add a lot of flavour. Also being artifacts they can leave at an appropriate time, usually the level after they reach maximum or minimum concordanace. Here is an example of a suit of armour I am using in my campaign, please note that power levels in my game be significantly different than in your own and that this is an example only: Grafters Armour Worn looking leather armour, looks and feels thin and supple, dark brown with a few scrapes and worn edges. Looks like it has been restitched, mended and patched back together many many times. Arcana check:DC 15: Very strong magic, obviously a significant magical item.DC 20: Strange magical weave, twisting flows of enchantment, transmutation and psionic magics. The magic has been layered so it is hard to determine what actual properties it has.DC 25: The style, pattern and potency of the magic used makes you think it was made by Fey hands, this is probably an Avandran artefact.DC 30: The armour seems to work around the Avandran principles of luck, travel and protection. It seems likely that it will increase all three aspects in the wearer. Fey items are tricky though, the armour may be easier to put on than take off. Leather ArmourProperties:- When worn armour sinks below the skin, making you look toned/muscled.
