Wondrous Item, artifact

The blackened silver piece said to be one of the 30 silver coins paid to Elyas for betraying Guischard. Each one contains the essence of a fallen angel.

Each coin appears to be a small silver coin that has been blackened as if subjected to fire. The design on the coin is the name of the Fallen Angel in celestial.

The coins are intelligent artifacts with an Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores of 18.

Willfully touching the coin with bare skin is enough to have the image of the fallen angel appear in the mind of those who touched it. Accidental or forced contact with the coin does not count, the victim must touch it of his own accord. The shadow of the fallen angel will appear as an attractive member of the same race as the victim as if Major Image or Dream had been cast on him (DC 30 for both). Only the one affected can perceive the image. It will urge the victim to pick up the coin and offer help and advice.


The Fallen grants Advantage to  any skill check, unlimited uses per day. It cast the following spells 3 times a day on the victim with his consent: Identify, Cure Wounds, Bull's Strength, Bear's Endurance, Cat's Grace, and Tongues. It will also aid the victim by granting him a free Combat feat for the day most likely to assist the victim (GM's choice). Each time the victim agrees to receive aid from the Fallen's Shadow, it can also cast Suggestion on him. The Suggestion will either be to pick up the coin or to commit evil acts. The Shadow can Teleport the coin to the victim if he agrees to accept it. Each use of an ability grants the Fallen greater hold over user. Each use increases the Corruption Pool by 1 point. When the Corruption Pool has reached 100 points, the user has become addicted and the Fallen casts Geas (DC 30) to permanently take up the coin.

Willfully taking possession of and using the coin instantly sets the Corruption Pool to 100 points.

The Shadow can be gotten rid of only by the consent of the victim andRemove Curse against DC 30. Also, any spell or supernatural attack against the victim with the pain or mind affecting descriptor that does at least 50 points of damage has a 5% chance of removing the fallen shadow as well.

If the victim ever agrees to accept the coin, he also gains the following benefits in addition to the shadow's abilities:

* Ageless -- Client remains permanently as an adult and no longer suffers penalty for aging. Bonuses still accrue, however. 
* Cast Heal on self only once a day. 
* Battle Form -- The wielder of the coin gains a unique demonic form it can use. 

The Coins are Evil, but are undetectable. If the wielder wins an ego contest against the coin, he can choose to cast it aside and lose all abilities of the coin and the shadow.

If the Fallen item attempts to take control of its wielder, the wielder must make a Charisma Saving Throw (DC 20). On a failed save, the wielder is Charmed by the Fallen for 2d12 hours. While Charmed, the wielder must try to follow the Fallen’s commands. If the wielder takes damage, it can repeat the Saving Throw, ending the effect on a success. Whether the attempt to control its user succeeds or fails, the item can’t use this power again until the next dawn.

Notes: The Fallen grants Advantage to any skill check, unlimited uses per day. Each use of an ability grants the Fallen greater hold over the user. Each use increases the Corruption pool by 1 point. When the Corruption Pool has reached 100 points, the user has become addicted and the Fallen casts Geas (DC 30) to have the user permanently take up the coin. Willfully taking possession of and using the coin instantly sets the Corruption Pool to 100 points. , Shapechanging, Sentient
