Description : This double-sided amulet is a masterful work of divine artistry. One side is engraved with the orange spider symbol of Lady Majere, its legs radiating outward in delicate, precise lines that glow faintly when touched. The other side features the detailed carving of a cat’s face—plump and unmistakably feline—with golden eyes inlaid with tiny topaz gemstones that glimmer in the light. The amulet hangs from a sturdy golden chain and carries an air of celestial purpose despite its whimsical appearance.
Lord Aurelion, the Gluttonous Familiar
Upon attuning to this amulet, you summon Lord Aurelion, a large orange cat familiar bound to the item. Aurelion is an intelligent, lazy, and perpetually hungry feline who often serves as both a companion and a reminder of self-control.
- Type: Familiar (functions as per the find familiar spell).
- Form: Aurelion is an oversized orange tabby with an impressive belly and a knack for finding food. His eyes are golden, with a mischievous gleam that suggests he’s always scheming his next meal.
- Personality: Aurelion speaks telepathically with his attuned owner and has a deep, melodramatic voice. He complains about hunger frequently and insists any shared victories are due to his "strategic genius."
Features and Abilities
-
Summon Aurelion: As an action, you can summon Aurelion to your side or dismiss him into the amulet. If he is reduced to 0 hit points, he vanishes into the amulet and can be resummoned after a long rest.
-
Hunger Sense: While Aurelion is summoned, you gain advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks related to finding food or tracking creatures.
-
Feline Greed: Aurelion can consume a magical item (such as a potion) for you as a bonus action, granting its effects to the intended target. However, Aurelion always "samples" the effect, resulting in a slightly reduced duration or potency (-1 round for durations or -2 points for healing/damage).
-
Belly of Fortitude: Once per long rest, Aurelion can grant you resistance to one type of damage for 1 minute. This ability manifests as a glowing orange aura around you, but Aurelion will grumble that he's missing "second dinner" for this effort.
-
Challenge of the Glutton: Aurelion’s presence subtly nudges you toward glutton . Whenever you resist indulging in excess—be it food, treasure, or recklessness—you gain temporary hit points equal to your proficiency bonus.
Special Quirks
- Aurelion constantly telepathically demands snacks and will sometimes attempt to manipulate NPCs to feed him. If ignored, he might "accidentally" disrupt stealth or other plans in protest.
- He cannot resist food left unattended and may eat items of minor importance (like a ration or a single gold coin).
