Bad News Bear

An old, somewhat discolored, but well-loved brown teddy bear.

Once attuned, the wielder chooses another individual to be bonded with. While the two are bonded, any roll made by the selected individual becomes an automatic Critical Success, provided the wielder has also made the same check, either before or simultaneously with the selected individual. While bonded, the wielder automatically rolls a Critical Failure on every roll.

In addition, the wielder will have a Bad Day worthy of Legend. Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong, horribly so. Every action made will end in failure, humiliation, embarrassment, bodily harm, and/or tragedy. Furthermore, the wielder will draw in misfortune from every direction. The exact nature of this misfortune is at the discretion of the DM. For example, the wielder may find themselves the victim of an individual mugging from every thief within a city district, or the recipient of a surprise tax audit, or spotted on the street by an old enemy they have been avoiding. Many have met their tragic bloody ends holding the Bad News Bear.

The effects of the Bad News Bear bond last for 1 hour. The bond can be performed only once every seven days. If at any point during the hour the wielder does not have Bad News Bear on their person, the bonded individual loses all benefits of the bond, and will have a sudden stroke of great misfortune (also at the DM's discretion).
