RING OF WEAKNESS
RING OF WEAKNESS
This cursed ring causes the wearer to lose 1 point of Strength and 1 point of Constitution per turn until the individual reaches 3 in each ability area.
This loss is not noticeable until the individual actually observes his or her weakened state due to some exertion (such as combat or heavy lifting), for the ring will also make the wearer invisible at will (and also cause the rate of Strength and Constitution point loss to double). Note that when full weakness is attained, the wearer will be unable to function in his or her class.
The weakness ring can be removed only if a remove curse spell, followed by a dispel magic spell, is cast upon the ring.
There is a 5% chance that the ring is reversed, being a ring of berserk strength.
This form gradually increases Strength and Constitution to 18 each (roll percentile dice for Exceptional Strength if the wearer is a fighter). Increase is 1 point per ability per turn. However, once 18s in both abilities are reached, the wearer will always melee with any opponent he or she meets, immediately, regardless of circumstances.
Points lost from the ring are restored by rest on a 1 day for 1 point basis, with 1 point of each ability lost being restored in 1 day of rest.
Berserk Strength is lost when the ring is removed, as are Constitution points gained.
