Incorporating the Relics

[Derry L. Zimeye]

The Relics included in the back end of Book 3 have absolutely fascinated me. There's one for every type of player, and it's a fantastic list of items. However, unlike War For The Crown, Tyrants Grasp does not award players the Relics. I can't let that happen! How would I get the Relics into the AP, when, and where?

Not sure if this thread has the spoiler tag, so just in case: Spoilers for Book 3:

I felt the same way. My current idea is that Ceto has the Belt of the Last Wall on her person after Vigil goes belly-up. Debating doing the same thing with the scorpion whip/spiked chain relic. She’s a local hero, so it’d make sense for the people to let her use those public treasures after Vigil becomes FUBAR. Not sure about the others, though.

Oooh! Maybe the listed character had the others in their stash? Adds to the shocking scene that happens with!

Ehh, I doubt it. Story-wise two of those relics are Taldan antiques and one is long-lost under a cathedral in Andoran, so it wouldn’t make much sense for Ceto to have the great armor worn by Grand Prince What’s-His-Name from all the way across the continent.

From another perspective, those items are really powerful! I mean, the lance is an effective +4 weapon BASE—upgraded it’s effectively a +6. Plus increasing a morale bonus?! I get it’s once per day, but jeez!

My honest opinion is that the only items you should give to the PCs in Book 3 are the belt, bonds, and maybe the necklace if you can justify it (I was seeing how Book 5 goes when the PCs go to Arcadia and learn some stuff about Aroden).
