Appropriate rewards for adventures?
What are good treasures/artifacts for rewards at the end of a dungeon? Have people been just making up artifacts? When will we get a list/guide on how they are made? Its possible I overlooked the section but wanted to make sure. How much gold/silver/copper is too much to give?

Re: Appropriate rewards for adventures?
We don't have any lists of magic items yet, besides a spell that can bind spells. There are some references to a crafting chapter but that has not yet been made (I guess). The only thing that the player can buy (for now) is what exists on the weapon/armour/gear tables. We have to wait and see. Hopefully the alpha will be a beta in a month or so, then we know more. I am very curious about crafting, magic items and more about the artefact dice myself.

I have a feeling that “treasure” will be more closely related to stronghold creation/management than simply magic items and gold. But we will wait and see.

Since the stronghold mechanic is entirely optional, I highly doubt that. But we'll just have to wait and see, I guess.I have a feeling that “treasure” will be more closely related to stronghold creation/management than simply magic items and gold. But we will wait and see.

The stronghold mechanics maybe optional but if they have some references to a crafting chapter in the skills (about what resources you need when building weapons ...) so the the crafting chapter probably contain more than just stronghold. Then I don't think that that chapter will have anything to do with any magic artefacts. That will probably (hopefully) have its own chapter.

Of course the loot-table may contain resources, as well as currency and magical items. I just felt that I needed to point out that it seems highly unlikely that there will be loot specifically for building Strongholds since that loot would be wasted on groups who don't use the mechanic. There might be multi-purpose loot though that can be used for crafting in general as well as the construction of Strongholds.The stronghold mechanics maybe optional but if they have some references to a crafting chapter in the skills (about what resources you need when building weapons ...) so the the crafting chapter probably contain more than just stronghold.

Though for the construction of Strongholds I'd think it more logical to secure trade routes and natural resources like mines, quarries, farmlands and large swathes of forest than hunting for treasure in dungeons. But then again, I may be a bit too "realistic" about my fantasy role playing games =D

Re: Appropriate rewards for adventures?
If any of you have been running as a dm what have you given as rewards? I was going to give like slightly better armor,weapons, or enchanted items similarly enchanted as the sword for the one adventure site we have. Like a longbow that gets extra dice when you attack from behind, a ring that increases damage when you have taken damage, exc. what have you all been giving your groups as rewards?

Re: Appropriate rewards for adventures?
I am testing the system using the old d&d adventure Isle of Dread. The treasure given in that is a little bit to much so i divide everything by 100 so in the Lair of the Lizard Men the treasure consist of 50 cp, 60 sp and 8 opals worth 5 gp each. A lot of money, yes, but there are 14 Lizard Men in that lair. 14 is not so dramatic in d&d but using FBL they players have to be a lot smarter if they want the treasure, regardless of they use force, stealth or trade to do it.
Since I have no idea how magic items will work in FBL (besides the bind spell) so if the adventure calls for a Magic Sword +1, I convert that to a rare or epic sword and since I don't know exactly how the artefact dice will be used, I simply change one of the dice (+2 normally for most swords) to the artefact dice instead. It works for now, until we get the FBL rules for treasures and magic trinkets.

Re: Appropriate rewards for adventures?
I try to give treasure that connects to the world, somehow, so that there can be longer term side effects of removing some artifact from a grave. E.g. it belonged to someone from a well known family and walking around with it will draw attention.
That said, it would be awesome with a random loot table that provides adventure hooks by having a bit of history.
