Runes (Origins)

Runes can be applied to certain weapons to provide permanent bonuses to that weapon's effects. These runes can be applied to (or removed from) equipment by Bodahn Feddic's son Sandal at the party's camp. There is no cost associated with adding or removing runes, and runes can be reused after removal. This makes it easy to tailor equipment to meet particular challenges.

Each weapon has a certain number of rune slots. Most lower-quality weapons will have none, while very powerful weapons can have as many as three.

Runes come in several different types, each providing a distinct effect, and in multiple tiers of varying power and utility.
