Helm of Opposite Alignment

This metal helm appears to be one of the other magical helms; it is, however, cursed.

When donned, the wearer is immediately afflicted with a legendary curse.

Curse of Opposite Alignment. [legendary curse] The wearer will change alignment to one that is opposite of their current alignment. Thus, each axis becomes opposite: Good becomes Evil and Lawful becomes Chaotic. If the wearer is Neutral on a single axis, they become (d%): (01-50) Good or (51-00) Evil. If true Neutral or Neutral on the secondary axis, the wearer will become (d%): (01-50) Lawful or (51-00) Chaotic. Once donned, the helm becomes mundane but the wearer is still considered the host of the curse (and rejects any attempt to change alignment).

• This curse can only be removed via wish-magic and only a full wish can restore the original alignment without typical alignment change consequences.

• Any non-cleric that changes alignment due to this item will not lose experience points (unless they have the curse removed and then make the change to an alignment not opposite of their original after 7 days have passed).

Wearing this helm is considered to be wearing metal armor with regard to class restrictions and is similar to a helm that would accompany chain mail (AC/AD 5). The helm resizes to fit Small to Man-sized humanoids (without head protusions such as horns).
