Wow...that's really, really cool. I was neutral about WoL before(even though I'd called it from way back when it was being hinted at), but this has definitely got my interest.

Great news.

Maybe even better news!
I'll be getting this book.
Sonofapreacherman, how many weapons are their and do they cover even the most unquie weapons? (at random sai, and a whip)

Though I'm rather unsure what those feats do. Do they open up the abilities on the table up to Xth level (10th, 15th, 20th, maybe?)?Sonofapreacherman said:You are correct.

Another vote for "Looks neat" . I haven't played it in years, but didn't Earthdawn do something pretty similar to this? Like, excatly? Not that It's a bad thing.

I'm not sure how many weapons made the final cut but Travis and I created a whole bunch of them. Some were common, some were exotic. That's all I'm saying.Brother Shatterstone said:
You got the right idea. To quote the preview...Knight Otu said:
"Here's basically how it works: Once a character has taken possession of an item of legacy, she must discover the secrets of its past. Each piece in the item's historical puzzle reveals a ritual to be performed by the item's wielder. As each ritual is successfully completed, the character gains a Legacy Feat that unlocks a portion of the item's powers."
As stated above, that legacy feat is a "bonus" feat.

That’s completely understandable.
Can you say how many you made? Even roughly? Knight Otu

Yep, that's what I based my guess on.Sonofapreacherman said:You got the right idea. To quote the preview...

I wonder if the legacy feats could theoretically taken as normal feats, but since the prerequisites are propably "perform the proper ritual," that would be ... unnecessary, to say the least.

What? Me Worry?
Midnight also does something very similar. Looks cool, regardless.
I would be curious as to how similar this entire approach was to the intelligent item procedure set forth by Monte Cook in his third EM book (the Nexus book); later a part of Eldritch Might for the 3.5 adjusted, collected edition of all three Books of Eldritch Might from Malhavoc {3.0 edition.}
Either way, I would certainly be intruiged by the choices that the designers at WOTC have taken, although if it follows Monte's path too similarily, then a purchase is sure not a definite event ;-)
Cheers, eh!
