Time to pick the community's brain. I'm writing my first campaign, and one of the main enemy factions is the Cult of Haagenti. They are led by a Succubus Oracle who has completed the Rituals of Fiendish Apotheosis. She accomplished this through visions from Haagenti that directed her to the Demonic Book of the Damned.
Now, I would like the PCs to be able to match this advantage. So I'd like them to earn the right to use the Chronicle of the Righteous towards the end of the campaign. And truth be told, they'll need that advantage. Depending on how the PCs play out the campaign, the final boss might be a Half-Balor Antipaladin of Haagenti.
The Chronicle can bestow many benefits. Primarily of which, it can be a repository of information that the PCs can be creative with to figure out advantages to win the final boss battle. This ranges from discovering fiendish weaknesses to the locations of Celestial weapons and armour.
Thing is, I don't know how to present the option to the PCs. I toyed with the idea of the PCs being directed to the current guardian of the Chronicle. But it seems like it has too many cogs. They'd also probably have to leave the country to find him.
Also, once they found the location of the Chronicle, they'll need to pass some tests to prove they are worthy of the knowledge. Which I feel shouldn't just be combat. But tests of character and roleplay skill.
Any thoughts?
