Robert CargillAppendix C: Compiled Mechanics[/sblock]Each individual artifact includes a history, a section on lore (skill checks, that sort of thing), a section on physical appearance, a section on how the artifact responds to divinations, descriptions of passive powers, descriptions of active powers, curses and/or downsides, advice on using the artifact in a campaign, specific story seeds, suggestions on how the artifact can be destroyed, and--in most cases--some other new "D20 goody" on top of everything else (such as feats, spells, magic items, new monsters, new classes, or NPCs, all of which are tied in to the artifact or its history).This will, of course, be partially a matter of opinion. We did our best to make every artifact evocative, however, given the nature of the material.Heavier on the flavor than the crunch, but as each artifact has its own abilities and (usually) the "goody" as well, there's enough crunch to keep most people happy.And the "Random Artifact Appendix" includes an obscene number of tables. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />One piece per artifact, plus one more for the Random appendix. Good? Again, it's a matter of opinion, but I'm certainly happy with most of it. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
