Great backstory - logical reasons for creating the item - very good

Largely I agree with CP - perhaps a little too powerful, but the lycanthropic curse does balance it somewhat

Definitely a good solid 4/5 Go to Comment

Hmm, you have a point, there, Echo. There's gotta be a way to screw with them if they try that, though. Go to Comment

Ah, yes, of course, not resetting the countdown would nicely. As would multiplying the number of Lycanthrope spirits, and speeding the effect. Go to Comment

I like the backstory - very well thought out. I do have a couple of questions though:

1) Does the victim wearing the item wake when he is being attacked to see 'death taking him' or does he go to sleep and then 'die'?

2) When the beast kills its victim, what does someone watching the sleeping person see? Go to Comment

Great backstory, cool idea, and of course it is easy to scale back a power. Mystics plot is a good one too. Go to Comment

Good idea, MysticMoon. I think I may use it, and your plot hook, in my campaign, as well.

I might just use this in my own game. The PCs could be hired to investigate a string of bizarre murders that began with a seemingly unbalanced traveler.

The background is good, and the story is intriging. More importantly, the item is original in my perception, and certainly usable without upsetting a game in terms of power.

5/5 Very good and a great item for roleplaying with. Go to Comment

Oh, those boots are soooo five minutes ago

CaptainMayday, you've one it again

As Scras says - good backstory, original item, and not too over-powering

This gets the "wish I'd thought of that" award - 5/5 Go to Comment

Thank you sirs, I try my best. Go to Comment

Can't wait to spring it on some unsuspecting looters...

Original, creative, and potential to be hilarious. All the things a good item needs. Go to Comment

BUMP! Go to Comment

You don't want to make things too easy on em, Dossta.

This is a good cursed item, inconvienent, not deadly. Go to Comment

Hard to find an original cursed item; this is one! Great!

Awww, these would make a sucky gift! If the players are going to have a prayer of a chance at figuring out the cause of the mess, you should make the boots' effect active only when they are being worn. So a few minutes after the guy puts on some dress shoes or takes them off for the night, he can go back to being his normal, charming self. Go to Comment

Every now and again I find posts that I missed the first time through. Oversights that I try to correct. So here it is. Go to Comment

Thanks a lot... glad to be of service. GMs must never cease in their quest to screw around with the minds of their players - it's a matter of honor. ;) Go to Comment

Makes the players sure careful about stuff they pick up. An interesting book to add to a library, though perhaps the cover could read: "Guide to Ultimate Power" or "How to defeat the evil overlord who owns this library" or "How to summon the nymph of your dreams in three easy steps" for the lecherous sort...
Or something funny which the player's can't resist opening - "Photoalbum with getting pelted with tomatoes" ... perhaps the book can alter its title and appearance, for more paranoia. Go to Comment

I like this book...very good. 5/5 Go to Comment
