Re: [DL] Relics & Relic-creating (was Re: Several Topics)

One of my house rules in my HoE games (and WW if I ever had player to run it
for) is that any time the posse earns a Legendary Chip I record a special
"renown" point for the posse. It acts like the Edge, only for the posse as a
whole. Then should one of the members be the "shining hero" of any
particular Tail Tellin' roll I make a mark for them as under "person
renown." This makes thing fun in the game by not only people slowly learning
about the posse but say Mark the Templar has more "personal renown" that the
others the group is known as 'Mark the Templar and his posse.' All this is
kept on a sheet only I see, along with Corruption point and other rewords
and penalties I want to keep a secret.

Back to the subject...I like the Renown idea making something the charater
carry becoming a relic, but maybe it should be a prerequisite or level
indicator of the relic's power and her soul departing upon death being the
catalyst to making the power manifest. Breaking it down kinda like this:

Number of Legendary Chip collected = level of the pluses of powers in said
Relic
Each point in a Hindrance (like Bloodthirsty) being a level of Taint
Each point of Renown minus one point in Taints

This is a REALLY rough idea that popped in to my head but with the list
playing with the idea maybe we could pound it out.

On a side note: If any one wants a copy of the rules I made or the worksheet
let me know via privet e-mail and I'll send them to you.
