“As the bandit walks down the thoroughfare, some look on in distaste, others in fear.”
The Band of the Brigand is a cursed item that causes the world to treat you as though you are a roguish crook. Each day you act with a new individual they must roll a DC 14 Wisdom Save or become victim to the days effect. A creature that succeeds with this save is immune to the effect until the next long rest.
Roll a d10, this dictates the effect the band has on your interactions. The effect lasts for 1d4-1 days before you must roll again to receive a new effect. Creatures that fail the save are subject to this effect.
1-2 Those who look upon you deem you as a suspicious individual. Any charisma check you make i.e Deception and Persuasion have disadvantage.
3-4 Having been through more than common folk you may be deemed as worn and intimidating. Creatures are scared of you when interacting with you.
5-6 Creatures perceive you as antagonistic and hostile. Everything you say and do while interacting with this character will be interpreted as aggressive behaviour by them Insight checks to determine your peaceful intention have disadvantage.
7-8 Creatures perceive you as a very repulsive, rude and crude person. Any Persuation or Performance checks you make have disadvantage against them.
9-0 Creatures perceive you as selfishly hiding something they deeply desire and that you do not deserve to have. They will try to take it from you and have to pass an insight check with disadvantage to beleive that you currently dont have it in/on you.
In addition to the effect on failed wisdom saves, the longer you wear this band the more difficult it is to remove. If the wearer attempts to remove it they must make a DC 18 wisdom saving throw, on a failure the band does not come off and they feel a painful numbness in that hand.
On a successful save the band comes of and the wearer takes 10d4 psychic damage and the band comes off. After 24 hours of wearing this, you take 1d4+10 psychic damage on every failed save when removing the band. After 72 hours you come to covet this item and will no longer willingly part with it. And after one week every time you roll an effect for the d4 number of days you roll twice as two effects occur simultaneously.
