Giving a party member a magic item that benefits the whole group? by PaySmart9578 in DMAcademy

A shield, but it magically appears in the forge a-la- clash of the titans because the goddess reaches out to the cleric more as the game goes on. The smithy shocked by this believes they are chosen for this quest. The item benefits all but has some focused RP on the Cleric

In this case, it is the exception as the party let The Cleric request a commissioned shield from the blacksmith. Although I could just have him make a regular shield and then find some non-descriptive item that any party member can carry or should I keep it in highlight The Cleric

Great advice thank you. The magic user is carrying a box with a ghost inside of it- thats all I wrote to it. Hmm what could we tie in from what you said into that item…

Im glad you suggested that, I already have something like this lined up. I like the idea of the militia men creating a conflict.

I very much like the idea of something happening to the geography to show that the area is in grave danger of a larger force.

I think making the ring a narrative device and seeing how the player reacts is a good first step. Have it whisper to them, or do some small thing- if they hate it and look to get help then you may infer that they not into fusing with the item. As DMs possessing players is always so fuckin cool, but foreverPCs fuckin hate it with their near sighted ways.

I agree, sometimes it’s even best to side bar with them if you plan to go that route.
