[QUOTE="celewritor, post: 3525127, member: 35137"] As a DM I have given out an some artifacts before: . staff of the power that was intelligent and regenerated charges (very very slowly) +6 keen great axe that did +2d6 fire or electricity (chosen when drawn) plus some sun related spells used 1/day . An orb (2nd Ed) that create disasters (earthquake, meteor swarm, trip to hell) across a 1 mile radius region, centered on you . Artifact Engine (spelljammer) I also once rolled a mirror of life trapping once as a random item. Needless to say the monster made use of that item. As a PC, I've seen some powerful items weilded but rarely got to use them, these are the ones I did: . Excalibur (2nd Ed): holy avenger sword of sharpness, almost shattered on a demilich's phylactery . Sword that could kill a god (single use) but that was a plot specific item . A staff (also 2nd Ed) containing a single casting of every wizard spell in the PHB, accidently touched to a rod of cancelation . Deck of Many Things (also 2nd Ed): the horrid thing never went away, my alignment switched 4 times! I fought Death 3 times! . The Deck of Chaos (DM custom artifact): not quite as bad, but still not good Very few powerful items I got were purely good. Most were rather chaotic. The nicest 3rd Ed item I got was a amulet that game +4 Strength, +2 Con, +1 natural armor, and +5 jump. The DM had a thing about frogs... [/QUOTE]
