Luck's Folly


Aura moderate abjuration and transmutation; CL 8th
Slot ring; Price 20,000 gp; Weight —

DESCRIPTION
This silvery ring bears an engraved eight-pointed star, the symbol of chaos. While worn, it grants the wearer a +1 luck bonus to Armor Class.

If worn by a creature of chaotic alignment (CG, CN, or CE), the ring’s deeper magic awakens. A chaotic wearer may activate the ring as a swift action a number of times per day equal to his Charisma modifier (minimum 1). Each activation produces a random effect, determined by the DM rolling 1d10 on the table below.

The effect lasts for 1 hour or until the ring is activated again, whichever comes first. A new result immediately replaces any previous effect.

The wearer has no control over which effect occurs.

Chaotic Fortune Effects (1d10)
  1. Luck bonus to AC increases to +3 (replacing the normal +1 bonus)
  2. +3 luck bonus on all saving throws
  3. +3 luck bonus on attack rolls and weapon damage rolls
  4. +3 luck bonus on the wearer’s highest skill modifier (DM determines ties randomly)
  5. +3 enhancement bonus to a random ability score (roll 1d6)
  6. –3 penalty to AC (this overrides and replaces the normal +1 bonus)
  7. –3 penalty on all saving throws
  8. –3 penalty on attack rolls and weapon damage rolls
  9. –3 penalty on the wearer’s highest skill modifier (DM determines ties randomly)
  10. –3 penalty to a random ability score (roll 1d6)
Special Rules
Bonuses and penalties from the ring are luck bonuses unless otherwise noted.
Ability score increases are enhancement bonuses; penalties are untyped penalties.
If a penalty reduces an ability score to 0, the wearer suffers the normal effects.
The “highest skill modifier” is determined at the time of activation and includes all current modifiers.

CONSTRUCTION
Requirements Craft Wondrous Item, protection from chaos, bestow curse, cat's grace (or similar ability-enhancing spell);
Cost 10,000 gp + 800 XP

Guk’s Second Chance

Guk’s Second Chance Aura moderate divination and transmutation; CL 7th Slot ring; Price 12,000 gp; Weight — DESCRIPTION This thick, uneven ring appears crudely forged from mismatched metals - iron and bronze fused together in a manner that suggests more determination than craftsmanship. Its surface bears shallow dents and subtle warping, yet it settles onto any finger with uncanny comfort, resizing itself as though eager to be worn. Three times per day, when the wearer rolls a natural 1 on an attack roll, saving throw, or skill check, they may immediately reroll the result as an immediate action. The wearer must accept the result of the reroll, even if it is another natural 1. The decision to reroll must be made after the natural 1 is rolled but before the effects of the failure are resolved. In addition, once per day, if the wearer would suffer the effects of a confirmed critical fumble (if such rules are in use), they may instead treat the result as a normal failure. This decisi...

The Nieliah Talisman

Image
This magical talisman is created by  Pépin Rey  and serves as a direct connection to the benevolent loa known as  Nieliah . Three times per day the user can call upon the loa, and when they do so a 40' area (focused on the talisman) is covered in a glowing pale blue fog that appears to look like rushing water without ever diminishing in volume. The effect lasts for three rounds maximum per use. The user brings special favor upon themselves and their allies while bringing disfavor to their enemies. The user and each of their allies gain a +1 luck bonus on attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saves, and skill checks, while each of their foes takes a -1 penalty on such rolls. Faint enchantment; CL 3; Craft Wonderous Item, Prayer; Price 13,500 gp Lore Among the quieter currents of the bayou’s spiritual tapestry, the loa known as Nieliah is spoken of not in fear, nor in reverence alone, but in relief. Where other spirits demand, bargain, or test, Nieliah is said to balance - ...

Spoon of Chastisement

Spoon of Chastisement Aura faint enchantment; CL 3rd Slot —; Price 1,200 gp; Weight 1 lb Description This unassuming wooden spoon appears worn and well-used, its surface smoothed by time and countless “lessons learned.” It is often found in the possession of stern caretakers, patient matriarchs, and those who believe that discipline is best taught with equal parts love and force of will. Despite its humble appearance, the Spoon of Chastisement functions as a +1 sap (see Dungeon Master’s Guide ). It deals 1d4 points of nonlethal bludgeoning damage on a successful hit. However, the true magic of the spoon reveals itself when it strikes true. On a successful hit, the target must succeed on a Will saving throw (DC 14) or be affected as though by a command spell, issued by the wielder. The command must be a single word and must be something that the target can reasonably understand and perform in a single round. Creatures that successfully save are shaken for 1 round from the su...
