[QUOTE="Donp, post: 4618482, member: 51261"] Greetings. I'm running a high-level Forgotten Realms game (currently, level 20) and I am very interested in using Artifacts, as I think they are really cool and would spice up the game. However, the Artifacts I have access to are based on the core D&D setting, and need to be adjusted for FR use. I'm hoping someone here can help me with that, I'm sure there are some FR fans here. The first Artifacts I would like to mention are [I]The Hand of Vecna[/I] and [I]The Eye of Vecna[/I]. These Artifacts are really cool and would be perfect for a character in my game who is self-centred and lusts for power and knowledge, especially of the arcane variety. However Vecna doesn't exist in the [I]Forgotten Realms[/I] to my knowledge. I'm wondering where to go with this, as I really like the lore around the Vecna items, especially the fact that these body parts of someone who was once mortal yet managed to become a god. That is especially interesting as the Evil character I mentioned also has attaining godhood as a primary (although far off) goal. So I would be very interested in any help you guys could give me on using these items in the FR setting. A second Artifact I am quite fond of is [I]The Sword of Kas[/I]. I found the stats and info for that in a [URL="http://wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/4ex/20081225"]free preview[/URL] on the WotC site. I like the connection this Artifact has to the other two -- this sword was the one used to cut off Vecna's hand and eye. Any help in porting this over to FR would be great, and bonus points if you somehow manage to tie it to the other two Artifacts. I would also be interested in your take on my idea of turning a weapon of one of the characters into an Artifact. The character is a Lawful Good Warlord and the idea was to have his warhammer become an Artifact somehow connected to Tyr, as the character is destined to become a sort of "Chosen of Tyr". Any thoughts on that would be appreciated, but perhaps more on that later. I would also be very interested if someone knows of any great "Good" Artifacts for the FR setting, most of the other PCs are Good and I would like to look into the possibility of them attaining Artifacts at some point. Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
