[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 3473750, member: 326"] Hey there Shadeydm! :) I suppose it depends on what the artifact is for. Is it the 'MacGuffin' used to foil the 'big bad' and thus necessary for that adventure? If so, then they could possess an artifact at any level, though in such cases they only possess it for a short time, until the deed is done. If you mean let them gain control of an artifact which has no real time limit or is not intrinsic to the adventure, then I would suggest maybe a minimum of 16th-level (for a single artifact per party and perhaps 21st-level as the minimum for a single artifact per PC). One thing to note is that those major artifacts in the DMG and the Epic Level Handbook are not necessarily that powerful, and certainly are for use amongst 20th-level characters. In most cases they are weaker than items epic characters could wield at about 25th-level or above. [/QUOTE]
