NECKLACE OF PRAYER BEADS
NECKLACE OF PRAYER BEADS
Experience Point Value. 500 xp per magic bead (Cleric)
Gold Piece Value. 3,000 gp per magic bead
A magical necklace of this sort appears to be a normal piece of non-valuable jewelry until it is placed about a character's neck.
Even then, the true nature of the item will only be revealed if the wearer is a cleric (excluding druids and characters otherwise able to use spells of a clerical or druidic nature such as paladins and rangers).
The necklace of prayer beads consists of 25-30 semi-precious (60%) and fancy (40%) stones. The wearer will be 25% more likely to successfully petition his or her deity to grant desired spells.
There will also be 3-6 special beads (precious stones, gems of 1,000 g.p. base value) of the following sort (roll for each bead):
d20
1-5
6-10
11-15
16-17
18
19-20
Result
BEAD OF ATONEMENT — as the 5th level spell of the same name
BEAD OF BLESSING — as the 1st level spell of the same name
BEAD OF CURING — cures blindness, disease, or serious wounds (as the appropriate spell does)
BEAD OF KARMA — allows the cleric to cast his or her spells as if he or she were 4 levels higher
BEAD OF SUMMONS — calls the cleric's deity (90% probability) to come to him or her in material form*
BEAD OF WIND WALKING — as the 7th level spell of the same name
* but it had better be for a good reason!
Each special bead can be used but once per day.
If the cleric summons his or her deity, the deity will take the necklace as the least punishment for vain purposes in so doing.
The function of each bead is known only when the bead is grasped and a commune spell used.
All powers of the special beads will be lost if they are removed from the necklace.
