  In my games, when players retire a character, I create a magic weapon or item based on that character and hide it somewhere in the next campaign. The level of the item is related to the level of the character when it stopped being played. Lower level characters get lower-tier magic items, while higher level PC&apos;s get legendary items named after them.

And vecna is riding on its back.&quot;<br>Party: &quot;we just killed vecna in that bar fight!&quot;<br>Dm: &quot;my bad. Ok, on closer inspection it&apos;s asmodeus riding the tarasque&quot;

  During a campaign I ran, the fighter (Archer) at my table was upset because she couldnt find any special weapon.<br>So during a battle against some evil giants, I had her find a strange bow that had Giant runes carved into the wood.<br>The weapon was a <b>+1 bow of the storm herald</b><br><br>By spending an action to fire a arrow into the sky the wielder may cast the <b>Call lightning</b> spell with no material cost and no spell slot required.<br>Also as a bonus action, the bow can magically charge the Archers quiver with lightning, the effect lasts for one minute per long rest and adds 1D8 lightning dmg to any attack the bow makes.<br><br>Her character worshipped a storm God......she was pleased with the gift.

  It seems reasonable that a legendary weapon might be able to take on different shapes and sizes to serve the legendary hero. This generation&apos;s great paladin might find the holy avenger as a sword in a stone but when they pull it free and the bright light clears, they find a polearm in their hands. <br><br>Or with the idea of reforging, the shards of the old holy avenger might be made into a new blade (by a legendary smith with a magical forge, hammer, and arm of course) that is then mounted on a long pole to be a polearm.

  It isn’t like Thor from MCU. it’s like Thor from Norse Myth. Thor literally owned a magic belt and set of gloves which work in conjunction with his hammer. And his job was literally to kill giants, which he doesn’t do so much in the MCU
