... Talismans

[Mr. R]

Talismans are the other facet of Cleric Alchemy.  These are at best 20 AP BUT have multiple uses OR one use for a long duration (One has a duration of a season)

 

These represent the small holy magic relics that people buy at the temple.

 

As a result I have also made them specific to each deity.  

 

This is one where I really can use some help in fleshing out some options.  For example Orchen (God of fire and Speed) I could not think of anything that wasn't already a potion!  Or am I overthinking this?

 

Anyway, I present... Talismans:

Very interesting.

 

My first thoughts are to make Talismans small rings or crystals that characters look through to Detect objects.

And having a variety of Detects would help groups focus on a quest or help gather materials for a Magic cauldron or …

There seem to be a lot of uses.

 

For a fire god:

I might consider a Talisman that can track footprints from a warm person. For enough coin the Talisman could follow tracks days or even weeks later. Or identify and follow a specific person’s tracks.

Or a Talisman that allows the user to peer into a fire and see the past through the ‘eyes’ of the flames, as long as there are burning logs or warm coals.
