If the owner ever loses possession of this item, his Constitution will be reduced by 1, permanently, for every month he owned it, to a minimum of half of his originally rolled Constitution score (before increases due to magic or other causes). Recovering the item will restore the lost Constitution points for as long as the item is retained.<br /><br />(This is actually a pretty major curse, but since it has no effect while the item is possessed, I think that it fits the idea.)faoladhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03691952430041394614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116962779728480800.post-87304763635578699802012-10-18T22:20:28.316-07:002012-10-18T22:20:28.316-07:00Items of this sort may have been made by members o...Items of this sort may have been made by members of a pacifist religious group.faoladhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03691952430041394614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116962779728480800.post-17316810224973871312012-10-18T22:19:24.794-07:002012-10-18T22:19:24.794-07:0011.

A mean, cruel, nasty Referee can extend this to all of the allies of the user. Experience from treasure acquired is unaffected.faoladhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03691952430041394614noreply@blogger.com
