Welcome, to my more or less first ever suggestion game. In this game, you play the role of an Artifact, an object of great power which runs on the life essence of humans. You must trick humans into giving you life essence in exchange for your powers, and advance whatever agendas you may have. Be careful though, as the government wants artifacts as well, but won't be as easy to trick and if your holder uses you too often, the government will notice.
All mundane actions succeed.
Non-mundane actions roll a d20 against a target number to check whether or not they succeed. You must roll under the target number to succeed.
You require life essence to function. Going without it for longer than 3 days results in a shut-down,which is essentially death, but temporary.
Your magical powers use up life essence.
The more often you are used and the more obvious your powers are, the more likely it is the government will try to steal you.
