	An '''artifact''', along with the closely-related '''relic''', is a superpowered magic item. ''So'' superpowered, in fact, that it is certainly more powerful than your PC. The artifact is a creation of some ancient god, or hero, or villain; the relic ''is'' that god / hero / villain, at least part of him.

	The model for the artifact is from [[Tolkien]], who featured several magical items that you really should get off your hand (literally) as soon as you can, and not use in the meantime. An ~~areltifactic~~ should only feature as the main plot of a high-level adventure unless you're just taking the piss.

For WotC 3e as TSR 2e, the first published material didn't post 'em. In the [[OGL]] environment [[White Wolf]], as so often elsewhere, beat WotC to the punch - here, in [[Relics & Rituals]] (albeit with a [[Scarred Lands]] focus). WotC caught up in the [[Epic Level Handbook]].

An '''artifact''', along with the closely-related '''relic''', is a superpowered magic item. ''So'' superpowered, in fact, that it is certainly more powerful than your PC. The artifact is a creation of some ancient god, or hero, or villain; the relic ''is'' that god / hero / villain, at least part of him.

The model for the artifact is from [[Tolkien]], who featured several magical items that you really should get off your hand (literally) as soon as you can, and not use in the meantime. An areltifactic should only feature as the main plot of a high-level adventure unless you're just taking the piss.

In [[D&D]] [[E. Gary Gygax]] introduced the concept(s) in the first [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]] [[Dungeon Masters Guide]]. That Wand of [[Orcus]] was an artifact mooted here, the destruction of which features in at least two published adventures. The Hand and Eye of [[Vecna]] are relics you can graft onto your own person - if you are a complete fucking retard, but it's all good because those items will help do the thinking for you from now to the end of your (un)natural life.

Second Edition AD&D had a whole book devoted to various artifacts (and relics). They also show up in [[Relics & Rituals]], for 3e.
