First time GM here, looking for some ideas.
I'm running SCAP with a group of fairly experienced gamers, and one Noob. The party consists of a Bard, Oracle, Rogue, Paladin, and Alchemist. The Alchemist is the Noob, and after they took apart my Grell, she brilliantly decided to bottle some of the Grell blood in the empty flasks. I thought I would reward her with the ability to research a fun item, probably along the lines of the Grell's regenerative properties. However, I figured I'd first throw the idea out to the community here to see if there were any thoughts.
If they're scouting around Jzadirune, they must be pretty low-level, so you don't want it to produce too powerful a property. How about something that gives a brief levitational sort of effect, or maybe just reduce someone's weight by 1/2 or 3/4 for a brief time?
Since her character is going to be researching what to create with it, I could always delay giving the items to her until a later date (figuring she would be researching during the down time between chapters), so that gives some ability to delay. I thought the earliest I would give it to her would be before chapter 2 starts
