All rights reserved.  \nOne magic item can merely be an adventurer’s tool, just like any other. Using treasure this way might seem completely reasonable, particularly in campaigns where magic items are like currency. But doing this can also diminish the value of magic items to the game's narrative. The first step toward imbuing magic items with importance is to develop their history.  \nThe extra creative work put into a magic item, whether by Dungeon Master or player, can forge a lasting legacy for an item. Doing so isn’t the norm in the D&D game. Usually, magic items that have more power trump their predecessors. However, history and a unique story, perhaps even associated only with the PC owner, can make magic items more fun.  \nNovember 2 0 0 8 | Dragon 3 6 9 12  \nBazaar of the Bizarre  \nThe magic items that follow either come with lore or with personal tales that steep them in legend. You can embrace these accounts verbatim or contrive fantastic tales of your own. Most important, you can do so knowing that once a legacy has been set in motion, it can be an interesting and even defining point of a campaign.  \nFeral Armor  \nWhen a predatory animal dies after winning a battle, Melora's followers have been known to harvest its body parts as raw materials for feral armor. Once tailored to size and enchanted, such a suit of armor is imbued with the fierce spirit ofa survivor and hunter. The truth is that the spirit of the beast forever lingers within the hide, always ready to lash out with claws empowered by the wearer. Rangers welcome the ferocious instinct that accompanies this armor, and they sometimes even act like the slain creature did in life. The bond between armor and owner grows over  \nAdventure Seed  \nA prowling, starving, or wounded natural beast attacks the player characters. The story of what motivated the creature to attack in the first place, however, can be determined after its hide is crafted into feral armor. The beast could have been prowling to protect her young and might still want to ensure their safety. If starving, the creature might have been pushed out ofits natural habitat by humanoid expansion or something more sinister. A wounded creature could even seek retribution against its original attacker, if the attacker lives still. The armor never takes control of the wearer, but the owner can empathically sense when the spirit of the beast wants to act.  \ntime and, according to some tales, has even led to the wearer seeking out whatever force was responsible for the animal’s death. Although this kind of behavior has been likened to possession, no compulsion truly drives the wearer. Justice or a desire for balance urges the good-hearted wearer on, while the wicked seek only blood and vengeance.  \nLevel 6+  \nThis armor causes its wearer to develop a ferocious streak, like that of the predator that once wore the same skin.  \nLvl 6 +2 1,800 gp Lvl 21 +5 225,000 gp Lvl 11 +3 9,000 gp Lvl 26 +6 1,125,000 gp Lvl 16 +4 45,000 gp  \nArmor: Hide  \nEnhancement: AC  \nProperty: Gain a claw attack while wearing this armor:+3 proficiency bonus, 1d8 damage.

Their ties to the natural world had caused their inborn magical talent to weaken overtime. Some magically inclined elves contrived a way to bridge their worldly tendencies with the natural magic of the fey. A pact bow is one successful realization of this goal.
