Alchemy: Copper Rings

Alchemy: Copper Rings

Continuing with metallic alchemy. This time we have copper rings here.

Ring of Attractiveness

Grants one level of Appearance (p. B21). A wearer who is already Transcendent gains no further benefit; beauty exceeding human comprehension is not enhanced.

Duration: 2d+1 hours.

Cost: $1,020.

Recipe: $102; 6 days; defaults to Alchemy (Metallic)-4.

Statistics: Appearance (Extended Duration, 1,000x, +120%; Magical, -10%; Nuisance Effect, Only increases by one level, -5%) [17 x 2 = 34].

Ring of Concord

Aids the wearer in reaching agreement with others. The ring must be willed to work on a particular person or group. On a successful IQ roll, it gives +3 to any skill roll to find common ground — most often Diplomacy, but it can also apply to such skills as Carousing or Sex Appeal, or to the reaction roll to any proposal seeking cooperation or toleration. The GM may offer a hint as to what kind of offer might be accepted.

Duration: 1d hours.

Cost: $1,620.

Recipe: $162; 15 days; defaults to Alchemy (Metallic)-6.

Statistics: Charisma 3 (Variant; Extended Duration, 300x, +100%; Magical, -10%; Requires IQ Roll, -10%) [27 x 2 = 54].

  

Ring of Grace

Improves physical coordination in whole-body movement of the wearer, conferring +2 to Acrobatics, Dancing, and Erotic Art, and +1 to Dodge.

Ring of Lecherousness

Grants the wearer the ability to afflict another character with the condition of Lecherousness (12) (p. B142). This will not necessarily make the other character attracted to the wearer! This requires a Quick Contest of Will. The range modifier is -1 per yard of range.

Duration: 1d hours.

Cost: $1,380.

Recipe: $138; 11 days; defaults to Alchemy (Metallic)-5.

Ring of Love

When the ring is put on, the wearer must make a Will roll. If he fails, he falls in love with the next person of appropriate sex and age that he sees. The effect is permanent unless cancelled with the Remove Curse spell. Harsh treatment by the loved one will not destroy the love but may lead to insane jealousy, stalking, suicide, or vengeance.

Duration: Permanent.
