Hello! I am trying to homebrew an item that buffs in certain areas but debuffs in others. I am trying to make it apply a STR score of 6, opposite to like the Gauntlets of Ogre Power that sets your STR to 19. I structured it the same way as the gauntlets but it's not having any effect. How can I debuff players with an item?
You cannot “set” a score lower than the normal score, the system will automatically use the higher number. The best you can do is apply a negative “bonus” to reduce the score by a set number:
