Artifacts of the Ages Series
The Artifacts of the Ages Series is an innovative system examining new ways to treat magic items. Magic items in d20 System games are usually temporary tools. A player character gets a magic axe or ring, uses it for a few levels, then sells it off when a better one comes along. But wouldn't you like your character to have truly powerful weapons like King Arthur's Excalibur, like Sting, and Glamdring from The Lord of the Rings, or like Stormbringer and Mournblade from Michael Moorcock's Elric novels?
The Artifacts of the Ages Series gives player characters a reason to hang on to their magic items. The legendary items found in this series are powerful enough to be useful at high levels, but they mete out their powers bit by bit, so that the GM needn't worry about putting a too powerful a tool into the hands of a low-level character. Each item increases in power as its wielder advances in level.
The Artifacts of the Ages Series is an open-ended series of sourcebooks. Below, you can find a list of all available books in the series, arranged chronologically by release. Please visit the available product pages for more information.
