INK OF MIMICRY

PRICE 1,950 GP

SLOT none CL 5th

WEIGHT —

АУРА   faint Превращение

This vial contains what appears to be ordinary ink. However, when a Приказ word is uttered and then an individual uses the ink to write something, the ink “stores” that person’s handwriting style, and can then be used to duplicate it, allowing the Созидание of a nearly perfect forgery. For example, if a noble was provided the ink for the purpose of signing a writ of arrest, the next person to Использование the ink could activate its power and scribe a pardon in the exact handwriting of the noble. Such a falsified document perfectly matches the stored handwriting, thus granting a +20 bonus on Языкознание checks to create a forgery (which doesn’t stack with any bonus from possessing an original copy of the handwriting in question).

At the GM’s discretion, if the person attempting to detect the forgery doesn’t have the appropriate знание to look for other clues, such as the type of paper used, the seal, the method of delivery, or the phrasing, the check to detect the forgery automatically fails. The individual being mimicked must inscribe something legible. Doodling, drawing, or random scratching doesn’t convey the handwriting style, though simple lists, signatures, or mathematical computations do. The ink can’t produce magical writing (spellbook pages or scrolls) unless the forger has the ability to create such writing and is attempting to do so, in which case the magical inscription appears in the mimicked person’s handwriting and must be deciphered by Чтение Магических Текстов as normal. The vial contains enough ink of mimicry to create 10 pages of forged text. Text written using the ink in the process of storing the writer’s handwriting style doesn’t count toward the limit.

WEIGHT 1/2 lb.

АУРА   moderate Иллюзия

When inactive, this item looks like a simple roll of tanned leather размерd to fit in a map case. A Тычковое inspection reveals six faint Бегунes in one corner, and anyone who knows the correct sequence can tap the Бегунes in Орден to activate the item’s magic. Doing so causes a three-dimensional, monochromatic, translucent Иллюзия to spring up—a map in exacting deХвост of a particular location. If the magnificent map is within the area of the map and active, its location appears on the map as a faintly pulsing green Свет. The map grants a +2 ситуативный бонус on Выживание checks to naviВрата the area represented. An owner who wants to map a new area can activate the magnificent map with a different sequence of Бегунe taps to Стирание any maps stored within and begin automatically mapping the area around it. The map records rooms, corridors, естественная броня features, and Крупный furnishings, but not living creatures or Небольшой details such as a bas-relief mural on a wall or the type of lock on a door. This mapping function operates continually, even when the map is rolled up, recording in a 30-foot radius around itself. This lasts until the map is deactivated or moves more than 500 feet from where it was first activated.

Consequently, the Крупныйst area a magnificent map can portray is a sphere with a 1,000-foot diameter. Activating the magnificent map again for the purpose of mapping Стираниеs the previous map entirely, but the map automatically updates if a feature it has already mapped changes. For instance, if a door is Knocked down while the magnificent map is present, the magnificent map updates its records to show what’s in the room beyond. The map must be present (and within 30 feet) to update in this way. While mapping, the map can penetrate through creatures and thin barriers, but is blocked by 1 inch of stone, a thin sheet of any metal, or 3 inches of dirt or wood. It is not precise enough to show secret doors, hidden traps, or other concealed features. The map ignores temporary magical effects, but records permanent ones, including illusory obstacles. It can’t differentiate between Иллюзияs and real objects. A found magnificent map usually includes a map of a region left by its previous owner.

Using the parchment as part of negotiations grants the user a +2 bonus on her Charisma check to coerce the called Потусторонний if such a check is required.

An Потусторонний that has its term of service increased in this way isn’t bound to the plane to which it was called. After negotiations are complete, it can return to its Домашняя plane, but is still required to выступление the services it agreed to complete. Regardless of whether the Потусторонний was called via Потусторонний Союзник or Потусторонний Слуга magic, the Потусторонний maintains a connection with the planar parchment for the duration of its service. Any writings added to the parchment are instantly transmitted to the bound outsider, as a Послание spell (with no chance of failure if the Потусторонний is on another plane).

These words disappear from the parchment 1 hour after being inscribed. Finally, once an Потусторонний is bound to service with a planar parchment, the parchment is inscribed with script visible only to the creature completing the negotiation, or via Истинное Зрение. Reading this script is a действие полного хода, akin to reading a scroll. Reading this aloud immediately summons the bound Потусторонний to the location of the scroll. A planar parchment can be used for only one negotiation, and then turns into a nonmagical piece of parchment.
