Throughout the campaign the players are able to find grimoires. Grimoires contain specific milestone powers that the group can decide collectively to learn. At every milestone, the group gets a single point that can be spent to activate one of these powers. They typically only affect a single character, so the decision has to be made as a group (we had a general lack of group unity for a while and this aimed to correct it). Powers can include anything, but in general should be fun, quick to adjudicate stuff like:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">add charisma modifier to next attack roll</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">next damage die is maximized</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">opponent deals minimum damage</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">automatically stabilize</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">roll 2d10 instead of 1d20 on next attack roll</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">etc.</li> </ul>The result is that the party is motivated to keep adventuring but also motivated to collect grimoires. Grimoire abilities are enjoyably to collect but not *that* empowering overall and so it is a fun little bonus in the game.</blockquote>
