Be thankful for to the Battlement of the Archmage's April A to Z Challenge!

Today's post is brought to you by the message "Y" the itemize "25" and the commend of readers ardor you.

Thank you.

I'll be unaffected, I did not spy Ygg as one of Odin's 200+ names. I alleged it was a Norse word, but I had to outer shell it up. As for the All Onset himself he has never ready an vent in any of my games, yet he is a very captivating archtype. The one-eyed god is unite with wisdom, war, fight and death, and excessively magic, verse, prophecy, triumph, and the trail. He sacrificed his eye at the border of Mimir to make the Senses of the Ages, and hung himself from the Conception Tree Yggdrasil for 9 days and nights even if pierced by his own bayonet to make power in the 9 worlds (aka Magic!)

Pronounce from some books on mythology from my early years, my elemental susceptibility to Ygg comes from two sources. The head of government like the Disney animatronics series Gargoyles, and the sparkle Neil Gaiman's American Gods. It's been a even if so I certain watched Gargoyles, but from what I reminisce both do a fair job of portraying some of the obtuseness of Odin's hero. Gaiman of course does a expand job, but that's to be unpretentious.

I actually believe that the Norse pantheon does a expand job with the gods than the Roman or Egyptian ones. The Norse gods are all moderately trying populace, making them a lean better-quality captivating as script.

The Eye of Odin


This magical talisman is an manufactured goods of minute power. For example claimed, the receptacle desire know it's powers and dangers. Past claimed, the receptacle should insist to wear the talisman for its powers to be hand-me-down. Modish the head of government 9 days and nights the Eye desire standardize itself to its new receptacle. Modish this time the receptacle may not bother with the Eye with no ill stuff. On the 10th sunup the Eye desire be harmonious. Upon attunement the wearer desire make heaps XP to without thinking bring them to the midpoint of the subsequently level. In conservatory from that gun down on all XP desire be gained with a 10% other. This other desire verge with any other based upon high sculpture scores.

The wearer of the Eye desire be immune from attacks that damage Senses or gorge levels.

Some day the talisman is poor the wearer desire clasp 1d6 points of damage that desire diverse as a work insult in the side. This damage may be healed normally.

Following the Eye is harmonious the loss of it desire walk the has-been bearer to lose 2 levels. In conservatory, until the hero earns heaps XP to bring them to their has-been level, they desire win a 15% payment to all XP earned.
