Legendary Greece is a recursion seeded from the myths and legends of ancient Greece.
Level: 1d6+3
Origin: Legendary Greece (mythological)
Law: Magic
Form: Gold-hued shield
Effect: In addition to the asset on Speed defense rolls the user has while bearing the shield, the difficulty of her Speed defense rolls is decreased by a further two steps.
Depletion: 1 in 1d20 (check per day of use; if depleted, the shield fades away, perhaps recalled to Mount Olympus)
Level: 1d6+3
Origin: Legendary Greece (mythological)
Law: Magic
Form: Laurel wreath
Effect: If the wearer would become debilitated or die, the crown prevents it by instantly restoring health (to a creature or an NPC) or points to a Pool (to a player character). If the wearer would die of old age, disease, or poison, the crown prevents it by rolling back the clock by a few decades, clearing the disease, or denaturing the poison. The crown is ineffective in preventing death when it comes from extreme sources, such as falling into lava, the sun, a singularity, and so on, or being struck by Death's scythe or some other divine implement specifically designed to kill.
Depletion: 1 in 1d20 (upon depletion, the crown fades away, perhaps recalled to Mount Olympus)
Level: 1d6+2
Origin: Legendary Greece (mythological)
Law: Magic
Form: Dark-hued helm
Effect: The wearer has an asset on Speed defense rolls. In addition, she can become invisible for one minute, which decreases the difficulty of stealth tasks by two steps and grants the possibility of making a surprise attack against an enemy. While the wearer is invisible, attacking another creature doesn’t disperse the effect, which means that a foe is effectively blind when attacking and defending against her.
Depletion: 1 in 1d20 (check per use of invisibility; if depleted, the helm fades away, perhaps recalled to Mount Olympus)
Level: 1d6+1
Origin: Legendary Greece (mythological)
Law: Magic
Form: Burlap bag containing a handful of teeth
Effect: If a dragon’s tooth is drawn from the bag and cast upon the earth, a soldier outfitted as an ancient Greek warrior (whose level is equal to the artifact level) appears, ready to fight for the user for up to ten minutes before going his own way. The user can draw several teeth at once from the bag, but each tooth drawn requires a separate depletion roll.
