So, I'm running a Pathfinder campaign for my kid (amongst other people), and he's essentially playing Link, from the Legend of Zelda. Recently he's expressed a desire to find a Sheikah Slate, just like the one from the most recent game. So I was wondering how you would stat out the various functions of the slate. I've got a few ideas, but some brainstorming never hurts.
Runes: I plan to use this function as a sort of 'spellbook' for his Ranger spells. I know technically he should have access to everything, but limiting him to the spells he knows in his Slate feels like a good way to keep him from suffering from paralysis of choice, since he's still pretty new to this game.
Binoculars/Camera: Seems pretty self-explanatory. It's a spyglass that can take pictures.
Map: A world map, maybe a +2 to survival checks to keep from getting lost? Also various plot related things I can do with this, I'm sure.
Scanner: I have no idea how I'd work this mechanically. The way this works in the game is that you take a picture of something, and then you can set it on your radar to tell whether or not you're heading towards something of the same kind. Any suggestions/help?
Huh. You know, I really should have thought of that. Well, that will definitely work.
