Inside this heart-shaped box are eight unusually shaped chocolates. Each chocolate is beautifully crafted, with unique and delicate designs that evoke imagery of the Feywild. The box weighs 1/2 pound plus 1/8 pound for each chocolate it contains.
You can use an action to remove a chocolate from the box and eat it. The chocolate begins to magically melt as soon as it is removed from its heart-shaped container, and its magic is lost if uneaten by the end of your turn. Roll a d8 and consult the following table to determine which chocolate you eat, and its corresponding effect.
As part of the action to remove a chocolate from the box, you can choose to make a DC 17 Intelligence (Investigation) check to attempt to identify the chocolate before it is eaten. On a success, you can roll twice on the table and choose which roll to use. On a failure, roll twice on the table, and your DM chooses which roll to use.
d8 | Chocolate |
1 | Caramel. You are unable to speak for 1 minute, as chewy caramel cements your teeth together. |
2 | Cherry Cordial. The unexpected combination of flavor and texture leaves you retching and reeling. You are incapacitated until the end of your next turn. |
3 | Coconut. The sound of chomping fills your ears, as you chew a seemingly endless amount of coconut shavings. You are deafened for 1 minute. |
4 | Espresso Dark Chocolate. A jolt of energy suffuses your body. Your speed increases by 10 feet for 1 minute. |
5 | Mint Chocolate. Chilled by icy cool mint, you gain resistance to fire damage for 1 minute. |
6 | Truffle. Bolstered by the decadent texture of chocolate truffle, you gain 1d4 + 1 temporary hit points. |
7 | Whiskey. You become immune to the frightened condition for 1 minute as fiery liquor smolders within your belly. |
8 | White Chocolate. The extreme lack of chocolate flavor is jarring and leaves you with a prolonged feeling of disappointment. You have disadvantage on ability checks for 1 minute. |
Y'know, I'd hate to go with the Forrest Gump troupe... but I would pick a random spell from the spell list (like, a 1d8 for which level of spell, and then a blind poke from the spell list to choose which one) regardless of flavor of said chocolate... because you never know what you're going to get.
Can you imagine the burning hands spell being vomited from your mouth? Priceless.
