Re: [DL] Necronomicon? [Ghoul? You still out there?] [Goff? If you're not too busy]

If you can get a copy of the 1st edition Dungeon Master's Guide for AD&D,
there is a great list of powers for artifacts, along with the negative
effects of the same.  If you can't scare it up, I'll see if I can find mine
and scan the appropriate pages in JPG format for you, so you can read the
sections.
