EGG OF DESIRE
Embedded Files
Experience Point Value. 500-700 xp
Gold Piece Value. 5,000-10,000 gp
There are at least five different sorts of these items, each more strange and potent than the last.
An egg of desire is a smallish ovoid which when placed upon its large end and touched in a certain way will commence to rock back and forth rhythmically, issuing a soft, chiming sound in the process.
Once it is so activated, any creature that views it must save versus spell or be affected by the egg's dweomer.
The effect of each sort of egg is:
Black —
Bone —
Crystal —
Golden —
Scarlet —
Holds viewers permanently, unless circumstances permit a breaking of the spell or they die.
Causes viewers to place their most prized magic item before the egg, and then leave and forget what occurred.
Causes viewers to place all the gems they possess before the egg, and then leave and forget what occurred.
Causes viewers to place all precious metals they possess before the egg, and then leave and forget what occurred.
Holds viewers for one minute, then causes them to become enraged and attack the first living thing they see after the one-minute time limit has expired.
Campaign Rule. Hold=hold monster spell, Forget=forget spell, Enraged=as per emotion spell.
The viewing range of an egg is 20 feet.
The effects of one can be removed only by a dispel magic or remove curse spell.
Even unintelligent creatures can be affected by an egg, since each such item sends signals directly to the viewer's brain, but the Bone, Crystal, and Golden Eggs of Desire affect creatures of under 7 Intelligence differently. These creatures will grab any magic item, gems, etc., dropped by another victim (if such an item is present), covet what is taken, and regard it as their most secret and valued treasure.
