Talisman: Avoidance     

This is one of the most valuable treasure items to have in a crisis, of is the holder of this item speaks or thinks the commands words "Spare me talisman" (this can be thought or spoken), he or she will avoid any situation once . . . even death.

 

If the holder of this Avoidance Talisman is slain, he or she may roll initiative with the G.M. (no bonus; just a straight initiative roll between the player and the G.M.). If the player wins, death will be avoided.

 

If the holder of this talisman has received a mortal wound, and uses the talisman, he or she will have to live with the wound until treatment can be gotten. This can create quite a problem in some situations (as a player may find out). Still, death will be avoided.

 

Avoidance-Roll - : When the Avoidance Talisman is first claimed, the

                               one to claim it must make a successful avoidance--roll

                               vs. "Faith" in order for the Talisman to accept and

                               offer its protection. If the avoidance-roll is failed, it

                               can be attempted again in 1 moon (30 days), provided

                               the holder treats the talisman with respect, keeping it

                               clean, polished and safe.

 

Effect time ------ : Instant.

History ----------- : It is suspected, this is a being of power, possibly a

                               former Figment who has succeeded the test and become

                               something of his or her own choosing. Others are

                               skeptical about this, and argue that it is an item created

                               by powerful enchanters for the soul purpose of escaping

                               any undesirable situation one time. The truth in either

                               of these histories has, as of yet, never been proven.

 

Uses -------------- : 1 (the talisman will vanish once used).

Value ------------- : 1 Black-Gold.
