Eagle's Blessing - Enchanted Signature Item for Kindreth in the 24th

[Pursuit]

Background: Kindreth is an elf vagabond on the Rifts equivalent of a decades-long walkabout when he bumps into the 24th COT. He has been to a lot of places in his 120ish years of life and collected many cool things during his travels, including a necklace with a pendant of an eagle claw gripping a crystal formation. For reference,

is Kindreth's avatar art, which shows the necklace.

The art got me wondering what the talon necklace he's wearing might do, so I tried to create something thematic that would enhance archetypal eagle traits for the wearer.

• Base Item: Multi-Optics Helmet, retrapped as an enchanted necklace per the A&M enchanted item rules: By donning the necklace, the wearer gains some of the incredible sight and hunting instincts of an eagle. Eagle's Blessing provides +2 to sight-based Notice checks or to offset Range penalties and allows the wearer to ignore all Illumination penalties. In addition, the wearer is at +1 for attack rolls made with up to
  The reason I went this way instead of just sticking with calibrated shooting weapons is because eagles hunt with talons and I wanted to include melee weapons to reflect that. I didn't want to completely lose the shooting bonus, because that works great with the vision and range enhancements, and I tried to balance utility and theme. Two weapons seemed reasonable (1 melee and 1 ranged), and I threw in a ceremony to add flavor and prevent mid-battle switching so as to counterbalance the additional utility. I also dropped the other more ancillary benefits of a Multi-Optics Helmet, which is mentioned below.
  Switching weapons requires a bonding ceremony lasting approximately an hour. The necklace does not provide any of the other benefits of a Multi-Optics Helmet (i.e., no armor for the head area or built in radio). Even though it is trapped as a necklace, this item still affects the eyesight of the wearer, and so no other vision enhancing items (i.e., binoculars, cybernetics, etc.) stack with it.
• Major Enchantments: Acrobat Edge and Combat Acrobat Edge. The wearer gains some of the grace of an eagle.
• Minor Enchantments: +1 to Agility checks, +2 Pace. The wearer gains some of the mobility and speed of an eagle.

Edit: I'm also adding in as flavor that the eye color of the wearer changes to match the color of the arcane crystal held in the eagle's talon.

Looks good.
I would go with Danger Sense and Sixth Sense, but overall this looks good and I approve.

Thanks! I considered those, too; they certainly tie in well with the "eagle eye" concept. Ultimately I went with the Acrobat Edge tree because I love the idea of mimicking an eagle's grace, but the Sense edges could definitely also have fit the theme.

Needs pricing, including "magic equivalent" mark-up. Otherwise, looks awesome. Approve!

I completely forgot about pricing. Good catch! I'll work that up.
