The Golden Omamori of the Bamboo Mountain Spirit

Aura strong enchantment; CL 15th; Identify DC 40; Slot none; Weight 1/4 lb.

DESCRIPTION

A thin rectangle of gold, one inch wide and two inches long, The Golden Omamori of the Bamboo Mountain Spirit is emblazoned with runes of fortune and has a small hole near its top so that it might be hung from a belt, tied to weapon, or even worn about the neck.

Any character who carries the omamori upon his person benefits from a +1 bonus to all d20 rolls. However, all characters within 100 feet of the omamori, including the bearer, must succeed at a DC 5 Will save or be compelled, as with suggestion, to engage in an act of violence by making a melee or ranged attack which will, if successful, deal damage against the first individual to insult, slight or harm them. Those who successfully make their save are immune to the effects of the talisman for 24 hours. Those who fail their save and subsequently engage in an act of violence are allowed make a new Will save to be free of the compulsion. Failure indicates that they are compelled to attack the next individual to insult, slight or harm them. This continues until the affected person at last makes his Will save, or he himself is slain. If the wearer of the omamori engages in any violent or greedy activity, the DC of this Will save is increased by 1 for each such act.

The bearer of the omamori, once it is worn, will not willingly part with the talisman, and if the talisman is forcefully removed from the bearer, will seek to regain it, using whatever means necessary. If the bearer of the omamori is slain, the DC of the Will save resets to 5.

CURE

To be free of the talisman, the bearer must submit to an atonement spell, cast in conjunction with a successful remove curse (DC 26). Once the bearer is free of the omamori, the DC of the Will save resets to 5.
