Just an artifact I designed for my current campaign, looking for feedback from other, more experienced DMs Thanks in advance! The Crown of Maeghor (Head Slot) Property: You gain a +2 item bonus to Arcana, History, Nature and Insight checks. Property: You gain a +2 item bonus to attack rolls for any ability with an Arcane Keyword (stacks with implement/weapon bonuses) Property: Grants a +2 item bonus to Willpower (stacks with other items) Power: Thunderwave (at-will, thunder, arcana, implement) Int vs Fort Targets one creather in range - Hit: 1d6 +int mod damage, push target number of squares equal to wisdom modifier Power: Eldritch Blast (at-will, arcane, implement) Cha vs Reflex Targets one creature in range - Hit: 1d10 +cha mod damage Power: Burning Spray(at-will, arcane, fire, implement) Cha vs Reflex Targets all creatures in Close Blast 3 - Hit: 1d8 +cha mod damage   Goals: Acquire knowledge about all things arcane, natural and supernatural Use it's knowledge to acquire power over others Learn secrets from those who keep them, and use them to betray others Gain power through ANY means necessary   Concordance: (Starting Score 5) Owner gains a level (+1d10) Owner can cast at least 1 Arcane or Divine Spell (+2) Owner uses a secret to betray a friend or ally (+1) Owner wrests an important secret from a captive (+1) Owner uses an attack without the arcane or divine keyword (-2) (limit once per encounter) Owner spends 8 hours in the presence of a higher level arcane or divine caster (-2) (limit once per day)   Pleased (16-20) "I know all I need to make the world mine." The Crown is very happy with it's master, and it's goals are being fulfilled. It and it's master are of one mind, and act accordingly. The item bonuses from the weapon increase to +4 Any ability with the Arcane or Divine keyword deals an extra 2d6 damage. You may use the View Location ritual without any other implements or training, you view the target of the ritual in your mind.   Satisfied (12-15) "The knowledge flows, and grants me power over you." The Crown is pleased with the owner, and grants it's owner power to gain more information quickly. You may use the View Location ritual without any other implements or training, you view the target of the ritual in your mind.   Normal (5-11) "I feel... smarter, I must learn more." The crown is feeling out it's new master, and teaching it what it wants and what it doesn't like. It is very communicative during this time, suggesting paths and ordering it's master to fulfill it's wishes.   Unsatisfied (1-4) "I just can't remember it all." The crown does not like it's master, and is already working to find a more suitable replacement All the item bonuses are instead replaced by a -2 penalty   Angered (0 or lower) "It… It… called me stupid…" The Crown is angered and does not believe it's owner is at all deserving. It is actively looking for a new master, and is working to get it's current master to get rid of it. The crown places visions of horror and death into it's owner's head, and insults it's master's intelligence incessantly. All item bonuses are replaced by a -4 penalty instead. Also, all of the crown's powers do 1/2 damage.
