Cooper’s Counting Tray Aura faint divination; CL 1st Slot —; Price 560 gp; Weight 1 lb. DESCRIPTION This shallow wooden tray is divided into a series of narrow grooves sized to hold coins, beads, nails, or similarly small objects. When items are placed within the grooves and the user runs a finger along the tray’s rim, the tray quietly aligns and groups the contents into precise sets of ten. This function may be activated up to three times per day and requires a standard action. When used in this manner, the tray grants the user a +2 competence bonus on Appraise checks related to counting, sorting, or valuing small uniform goods (such as coins, nails, or trade tokens) for 1 minute. The tray does not identify counterfeit items, determine material composition, or function on objects larger than 1 inch in diameter.

Image
Hourglass of Love Lost Aura Strong enchantment (compulsion) and necromancy; CL 15th Slot —; Price 48,000 gp; Weight 2 lbs. DESCRIPTION This delicate hourglass is formed from pale rose-tinted crystal, its glass subtly pink-hued, framed in tarnished silver filigree shaped like intertwined lovers. Within, faintly glowing iridescent sand in deep blood-red and muted crimson tones slowly falls from the upper chamber. Upon first handling the hourglass, the bearer is instinctively filled with an understanding of its primary function: that it allows the perfect reliving of a cherished moment shared with a beloved individual. This knowledge is absolute and intuitive. This insight conveys nothing of the item’s curse, limitations, or long-term consequences . Once per day, up to a maximum of four times per month, the bearer may activate the hourglass by speaking the name of a beloved creature with whom they share (or once shared) a genuine emotional bond. Upon activation, the hourglass ...

Blackwater Venomtail Poison Type: Injury Fortitude DC: 18 Initial Damage: 1d4 Str and 1d4 Dex Secondary Damage: 1d6 Str Price: 2,500 gp Weight: — DESCRIPTION Distilled from the glands of the Blackwater Catfish, Striped Venomtail , this murky, olive-black toxin carries the slow certainty of drowning within it. It is typically stored in sealed gourds, bone vials, or thick glass containers, as exposure to open air gradually dulls its potency. When freshly harvested, it carries a faint brackish scent, like stagnant water left too long undisturbed. Unlike many poisons that overwhelm the body with pain or shock, Blackwater Venomtail poison works through insidious degradation. Muscles weaken, reflexes dull, and coordination slips away in stages. Victims often remain fully conscious as their bodies fail them, aware of their surroundings but increasingly unable to respond. Those reduced to 0 Strength by this poison lose all ability to swim or hold themselves above water, immediately p...
