Here we are at lucky 13th edition of the weirdness. This week we have sticky fingers and a magical pallet.
Kender Gloves of Sticky Fingers
Gloves (Very Rare item)
These thin leather gloves are trimmed with black Kender feathers and allow the wear to maintain full feeling of touch while wearing them.
Anyone wearing them is aided in the art of slight of hand gaining a +3 on all slight of hand rolls and +4 on pick pocketing. There is a side effect though for wearing them, The wearer will be prone to “Eye of the Magpie”, an affliction that causes the wearer to be attracted to anything shiny or interesting. So much so there is a 50% chance the wearer will be compelled to steal the coveted item.
Additionally after wearing the gloves for a week the wearer won’t remember stealing 50% of the things they stole by means of the compulsion. They will simply find the items among their other possessions and wonder how they got there.
When the compulsion strikes the wearer no one is safe. They will steal from friends and strangers alike once an item has caught their interest; telling themselves they will return it later or they weren’t using it anyway.
Varis’s Magical Treats
Sweet Snack Food (Very Rare item) Random effects
These sweet treats are tasty and pack a random effect punch.
Varis a ranger who’s part time obsession is baked goods. One day he decided to make a batch of Pumpkin Crunch Treats, but using seeds taken from a magical pumpkin monster mixed with Good Berries and magical Elvin honey might not have been the smartest idea. The treats ended up causing random magical effects to those who ate them. This caused a number of good and bad experiences for his adventuring party and a few tales to tell around the gaming table. (See the chart below for effects)
