The Banes

First gifts

Several ideas for varied first gifts, randomizing the artifact the player gets for his or her sacrifices.

Archeologist

Mattock of Earthquakes

Orb of Detection

I really like the Itlachiayaque patch, as it gives archeologists a thematically appropriate quest artifact. However, why not to reuse their (reworked) vanilla artifact as a first gift? The powers are changed mostly because I don't feel they actually work with the detection flavour.

Trowel of Pillaging

Monk

Hempen Rope of Asceticism

Robe of Stars

Snakeskin

Noble

Silver Spoon of Feasting

Tourist

Luggage

  • neutral tourist-favouring chest
  • can be #looted as any normal chest
    • always generated with a tin whistle inside
    • using any whistle on the same floor as is the Luggage will teleport it under the player’s feet
  • applied acts as a bag of tricks, but requires no charges

Wizard

Magicbane

Staff of the Magi

Mantle of Spell Resistance

Crowning gifts

A nice change would be to grant all roles a specific crowning artifact, so here are several ideas for such.

Barbarian

Claymore

Wizard

Elder Wand

Wizzard's Hat

Sceptre of the Witch-King

Quest rewards

Several possible alternatives for quest artifacts, mostly to make different alignments and races more unique.

Wizard

Eye of Cthulhu
