This silver locket contains a pocket watch with a cracked face. Despite this, it keeps perfect time. It was said to belong to a dowager duchess who used its chronomantic powers to augment her youth and health, staving off a wasting illness that ran in her family. It is not known what became of her.
Your Constitution score is 19 while you wear this amulet. It has no effect on you if your Constitution is already 19 or higher without it.
In addition, while attuned you benefit from the Keen Mind feat.
Optional: When you first attune to this item, your Luck score becomes 20.
This only applies if your GM is using the optional Luck rules.
”You will have a seventh stat called Luck. It will always start at 10 with an associated modifier of zero. When you fail a d20 roll in sufficiently dire circumstances, you may choose to roll a Luck check with your associated modifier. If you roll 10 or higher, you succeed! But there is a complication. If you roll 9 or below, Something Bad Will Happen, though what exactly might not be readily apparent. In both cases, your Luck stat will then decrease by 1. When your Luck runs out, you are Doomed.
Your GM may also call on you to make a luck check in situations where an ability check would not suffice but chance is still in play.
There are ways to regain points of Luck, such as the optional rules for Inspiration. Or by rolling a natural 13 on a d20, and allowing your GM to add a complication to your narrative.”
-CURSE-
Time waits for no one. While attuned, you are keenly aware of the passing of time and how each minute brings you closer to your inevitable demise. This knowledge brings you no comfort, and hounds you in your darkest moments.
This item is cursed. For each day you wear it, your luck decreases by one point, and cannot increase. Unattuning to the locket decreases your Luck by ten points.
If you are not using optional Luck rules, the curse manifests as a Bane effect, subtracting a d4 from all d20 rolls instead.
