Curious Item Club: Idol of Madness
Added 2016-09-06 03:48:46 +0000 UTCA well-worn porcelain doll – its paint chipped and faded; its limbs of stuffed cloth marred with disturbing stains; its once-frilly dress torn and threadbare.
Concealed within the porcelain (if one were to break it open) is a small, humanoid statue of violet stone. The head seems oddly enlarged and its arms and legs are both longer than the proportions of a human would suggest. (Those knowledgeable in ancient might recognize that it depicts a Titan Spawn of Lithuin.)
One holding the idol (either directly, or while it remains hidden within the doll) hears a constant, maddening murmur of voices coursing through their mind. This is due to the idol opening their consciousness to the Tainted Dreaming. One holding the idol gains a +2 circumstance bonus on checks related to the Dreaming Arts and a +5 circumstance bonus on Craft Chaositech or Chaos Surgery checks. However, one must also make a Will save (DC 20) or suffer 1d4 Wisdom damage after sleeping with the idol.
