#RPGaDay2024 Day 9 – Heroes

Day 9 #RPGaDay2024, another day writing about the alternative prompt challenge list by Skala Wyzwania. For more information, see David Chapman’s Autocratik blog post for RPG a Day 2024.

The RPG challenge theme for today is Heroes. Rolling a 1d10 for the quest. The result is 4. Invent an item.

Bracelet of Champions

When a mortal takes up the cause of a deity, be it the High Gods or the Low, a priest may gift them with a bracelet created through a ritual that identifies the wearer as a hero of the cause. The bracelet’s appearance depends on the deity’s faith, cause, or auspice. A bracelet of Carron, God of the Sun, might be a series of interlaced red, fiery gems, and a bracelet of Ylarria, Goddess of the Sea, might be a set of disparate seashells strung together with silver string.

A priest of the faith will recognize a wearer of a Bracelet of Champions without seeing the bracelet. They will receive hospitality and aid from a temple or shrine of the God, commensurate with their resources. Beneficial spells and rituals performed by the priest of the God are more effective when cast upon the wearer of the Bracelet of Champions.

Priests of the Lower Gods are still able to create Bracelets of Champions. Speakers of the High Gods can no longer create Bracelet of Champions and can no longer cast spells, but their rituals are still beneficial, and artifacts and shrines of the High Gods offer greater benefit to the hero.

Thanks for reading, dear reader. Some of the quests are repeating, and there is one I haven’t done yet. Let’s see what the dice bring tomorrow.
