Cost like a minor edge but has a built in flaw. Will likely in the end be more of a flaw than anything else, but since there is an upside you gotta buy it like an edge. Likely best if it is reallly cheap.
Lucky item. You have X levels to choose it. Like pro baseball players with the wierd rituals or never washing the socks or something but an item. So long as you carry it you get some minor bonus to 'something' Who really cares what the bonus is. Maybe category based. a weapon does one thing, armor does another, food, containers, held items, etc.. but you don't have to wield it. just have it. Maybe just a minor morale boost no matter what the item is?
The down side... Woe is he who loses this. Maybe not only losing the morale bonus, but now having a minor penalty for the rest of the characters life. Same for categories, if your lucky dagger gave you a +1 to hit just for having it in your inventory, now you have a -1 to hit.
The idea is mostly to give some color to RP. Like many of my characters in the past have had this one thing they prized that had no value to anyone else. Many times it would be something diety given. Like Baer gave a pally of mine a waterskin or something once and he did everything he could to keep that thing or get it back. Or that helmet just saved me (I.e. Bob's cranial fails repeatedly) from mace-guys cranial several times running.. poof. I declare it my lucky helmet.
If need be just make it a flaw, but then when do you set the item? They are better as rp-event based. Have the item- normal / lose it -2 morale.
So what do ya think? Like it/don't see the point/or hate it?
