Alright, so I started writing Chapter 84 which is right around where we are starting book three and the exploration of Floor 6+, and I realized I need to come up with A LOT of new Relics for the party and it's slowing down the chapter designing and balancing. I've separated them into 4 categories if you wanna help. I even wrote in a basic guide for how I'm designing them.#1: We have auction items. these are Sacrifices or Relics with 10-20 total stat bonuses, 1-3 affixes, and these items may be tailored for any character you wish, with archetype or Ability boosts that match them, because in the context of the story, the Party members are each sorting through a large pile to find the synergistic items they want and setting aside the rest. The ones they choose will be the ones written about and the rest will be a undefined pile because I'm not making up a thousand items, damnit.#2: the pearls. These items are probably going to include 1 amulet/ring that suits Will, a coin with a weird dimensional effect, some personal effects of no value, and maybe a weapon or two. I need about a dozen random items of various power. All items will have dimensional effects of some kind or another. useful or just interesting. it was a gamble after all, so bad items would be appreciated. Dimensional toilet paper?#3: Mark Wyrd's Rings+ amulet. 15-25 stats. 2+ affixes. focus on lifesteal, damage manipulation, status effect resistance, etc. So I need to finally define what those Relics do. Ideas that have been put forward are boosting lifesteal on taking damage (which I repurposed for the dagger of sublime retribution) and converting CC status effects into plain damage (which would be highly advantageous for his build to avoid getting neutralized by CC)#4: Nephir Akul's relics. Rings, amulet, headband. 15-25 stats, 2+ affixes, each. Boosts to Nuker abilities and shield effects/manipulation. Yes. This is a huge windfall for Mason, because his Build starting point is identical.Relic slots for reference:Rings, Feet, Legs, Neck, Head, Hands, Torso.As an aside, does anyone know where I can find a character sheet program online that allows me to fill in those exact slots with custom content? Right now I'm using an Excel spreadsheet, and it's clunky. Will include it at the bottom. it's a bit... messy and incomplete, but still slightly useful. And it'll demonstrate how badly I need to change my strategy keeping track of equipment.If we can't find a good tracking program, I'll change it to vertical information, 1 page per person instead of clumping them all together in a confusing list. Sometimes writing problems out helps me think.As always, ridiculously overpowered items will most likely be skipped/nerfed, while interesting items will more likely be at least mentioned.Items that aren't used directly go into the pile to fund the creation of a Stronghold on the 10th Floor.I'm excited to see what kind of cool stuff you guys think of!In the comments, assign the group number and the person it's for to the suggestion to help me out with sorting the items.
