The Bop It Idol - Wondrous Artifact

The Bop-It Idol was built by trickster gnome/shopkeeper/blacksmith/inventor of considerable skill and considerable irritability who loved a good riddle almost as much as he hated anyone who thought they had figured one out.

This garishly colored scepter is warm to the touch and deeply pleased with itself. It attunes to the first creature that holds it for more than a minute and then it refuses to let go.

At the start of each of your turns in combat, the idol issues a command in a loud, cheerful voice audible to every creature within 60 feet. Bop It! Twist It! Pull It! Flick It! Spin It! Encore!

What those commands mean depends on the DM. In one version, the idol is asking: strike a nearby creature, take the dodge action, attempt a grapple, expend a resource like a spell slot or ki point, or perform a flashy weapon flourish with disadvantage because it wants a show. Comply and your turn continues. Refuse and you pay for it in psychic damage, lost actions, or an embarrassing tumble to the floor.

In the other version, it is not asking at all: your body lurches toward the nearest creature, a spell slot is drained, your attack is redirected, you move differently in the order of things.

Both versions share one final mechanic. When you drop to zero hit points, the idol speaks one last time in a voice only you can hear: "Pass it." Then it throws itself at whoever is closest.

Crumwick thought that was the funniest part.

# Curse of the Loaded Die
*Wondrous Curse, Requires Attunement (Involuntary)*

A creature afflicted by this curse carries an invisible weight in every roll of fate. When the cursed creature makes an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw using a d20, the result is subject to the following distortions, determined by how many d20 rolls the creature has made since the curse was inflicted.

---

**Counting Rolls.**
The DM tracks the total number of d20 rolls made by the cursed creature since the curse began. Rolls made with advantage or disadvantage each count as one roll, regardless of how many dice are physically rolled. Rolls that are automatically succeeded or failed without a die count as zero.

---

## Stage 1 -- The Full Weight *(0 to 49 rolls)*
Any result of **1-15** on the d20 counts as a natural 1. Results of 16-20 are unaffected.

## Stage 2 -- Easing *(50 to 99 rolls)*
Any result of **1-10** on the d20 counts as a natural 1. Results of 11-20 are unaffected.

## Stage 3 -- Overcorrection *(100 to 149 rolls)*
The curse has worn thin but warped the creature's fate in the process. Any result of **1-5** counts as a natural 1. Any result of **16-20** counts as a natural 20. Results of 6-15 are unaffected.

## Stage 4 -- Unraveling *(150 to 169 rolls)*
The curse buckles under its own distortion. Any result of **1-2** counts as a natural 1. Any result of **11-20** counts as a natural 20. Results of 3-10 are unaffected.

## Stage 5 -- Collapse *(170+ rolls)*
The curse has exhausted itself but cannot release its hold. The distortion snaps back: any result of **1-10** counts as a natural 1, and any result of **11-20** counts as a natural 20. The curse is now locked in this state and will not improve further on its own.

---

**Lifting the Curse.** The curse does not lift on its own at any stage. A *remove curse* spell ends it immediately. A DM may rule that removing it during Stage 4 or Stage 5 requires *remove curse* cast at 5th level or higher, as the distortion has grown too severe for a lesser working to unwind.

**Natural 1 and Natural 20 Effects.** A result distorted by this curse triggers all effects that would normally apply to a natural 1 or natural 20, including critical failures and critical hits on attack rolls, at the DM's discretion.

There's a spot out on the Bruce Peninsula that not many folks know about. I stumbled upon it accidentally over a decade ago and have occasionally contributed to it. If you go into those woods today, you're in for a big surprise. Here's what @Knightky and I found this morning. 1/11 #TeddyBear #Plushies #HauntedForest #creepy #CreepyToy #CursedItem #BruceTrail #hiking #forest

So here is something, a cursed item for my game. I created it mostly as a joke, I was listening to a video on YouTube and saw a clip from the bizarre show Aqua Teen Hunger Force and the character Carl on a rant. Having spent many nights watching that show, I created this cursed item. The current owner of the orb just called it Karl.

The Forbithrahd Orb stands as a cursed relic of immense power and a testament to the tragic tale of Karlheinz's failed quest for immortality. Crafted from an unbreakable sapphire, it pulsates with a deep purple glow, indicative of the malevolent spirit trapped within. The orb exudes an intense, bone-chilling cold and brings psychological torment through Karlheinz's spiteful voice, inflicting emotional turmoil and feelings of isolation. Its corruptive influence also extends to magical disruption. Karlheinz himself, once a wizard seeking immortality, becomes consumed by deep-seated bitterness and resentment. His failure transforms him into a being of extreme racism, sexism, and homophobia, symbolizing the destructive power of intense negative emotions and prejudices. These traits, along with his isolation within the orb, warp his psyche, making him a cautionary figure against the corrosive effects of hate and bigotry.

Idee für #RPG: Schusswaffe als #cursedItem "movie gun"

* feuert ohne Munition zu verbrauchen
* Durchschlägt keine noch so dünne Panzerung (i.e. Kuchenblech)
* Kein Rückstoß beim Abfeuern, Ziel wird bei Treffern meterweit geschleudert
* -90% Wahrscheinlichkeit Bossgegner zu treffen
* getroffene Fahrzeuge explodieren mit 25% Wahrscheinlichkeit, außer ihre Beschreibung enthält Hinweis auf irgendwelche Panzerung
