so I recently completed the RPG classic Chrono Trigger.
it is almost certainly the single most rewarding gaming experiences I've had in my almost 20 years of being a console gamer.
within the game is an "accessory" item. The Hero Medal.
this medal, when equipped to the proper character, raises the chances of a critical hit with their best weapon.
I now plan to insert a similar item into my world.
my intial thoughts were of two diverging schools.
option A) Hero Medal - increases critical threat range of held weapon by 1. - 2,000 gp
expanded: this increase would stack with things such as improved critical and the "keen" enchantment, but it would not allow those to stack... it would simply increase any given weapon's threat range by 1. period. the price is based of the idea that it is essentially replicating Keen, a +1 enchantment.
option B) hero medal minor/major/or unique minor artifact - as above, but with no price tag.
what are your thoughts as to effect and pricing?
additional: the item is like a broach, or clasp one would wear to fasten a cape or cloak, but it could also be attached to ones armor or worn on a chain.
given that this is a magic item slot, what slot would you have this fill?
