This coin is cursed, and attuning to it binds the creature to the wrath of the Heathen Gods.
While cursed, the creature suffers the following effects:
-
The creature does not need to eat, drink, or breathe, but gains no benefit from food, drink, or pleasure of any kind.
-
The creature cannot regain hit points from food, drink, or mundane rest.
-
When the creature stands in moonlight, it appears as an undead skeleton, revealing its true cursed nature.
-
The creature has disadvantage on Charisma (Persuasion) checks made to indulge in pleasure or luxury.
The curse remains even if the coin is spent, traded, or destroyed.
Breaking the Curse
The curse may be lifted in one of the following ways:
1. Ritual of Blood and Return (Legendary Method)
If all Aztec gold is returned to the Stone Chest and blood is paid as described in the legends, the curse ends for all affected creatures.
This method lifts the curse permanently and prevents it from ever returning.
2. Remove Curse (Mortal Defiance)
A creature may attempt to break the curse using Remove Curse, but the Heathen Gods do not relinquish their claim easily.
When Remove Curse is cast on a cursed creature:
-
The caster must succeed on a spellcasting ability check against a DC of 18
-
On a success, the curse is suppressed for 7 days, and the creature is no longer undead in moonlight during this time
-
On a failure, the spell fails and the caster takes 2d6 psychic damage as whispers of greed echo in their mind
If Remove Curse is successfully cast on the same creature three times, the curse is fully broken for that creature.
Each successful casting causes the coin to grow warm and briefly stain itself with fresh blood, even if none is spilled.
3. Divine Intervention or Wish
A god, avatar, Fae Magic or wish spell can remove the curse instantly at the DM’s discretion.
