V9:Relics of Antiquity

Developer Note: The current V9 Rules can be found here.

The V9 Wiki is currently obsolete. The Project Phoenix Google Doc is the main source of V9 rules going forward.
We will eventually rebuild the wiki as a comprehensive rules reference, but now is not that time.

Relics of Antiquity

The magic items listed below represent relics of Amtgard’s legacy.

Developer Note: This section will be filled with more examples after the new abilities are tested and in a more stable position.

The goal is to include example of relics with the knowledge from V8 that folks may give these items more leeway for approval due to being in the rulebook itself (as opposed to homebrew items). To that end, we want to make sure the examples included here are things that won’t be too broken or disruptive if are used more commonly than completely custom relics.
