Just trying my hand at some of this item creation stuff that folks did in the last contest. Open to feedback on this first endeavor!
The Tin Hat of Conspiracies
Description: “A hat made of very thin, malleable metal. It is rumored to do something strange… what have you heard?!”
When you first don the hat, and think on a person or group you suspect, roll +WIS. You learn a secret they are keeping from others. On a 10+, choose 1. On a 7-9, choose 2. On a miss, choose all:
• Continue to wear the hat until next camp. Take the Scarred debility (-1 CHA).
• “Could everything be a lie?” Take the Confused debility (-1 WIS).
• You also learn 2 falsehoods. You don’t know which of the 3 secrets is true.
(I know keeping “on a miss” open is sometimes preferred, and to be honest I’m totally open to that for this item).
Oh ya, originally the first option was just that you wore the hat because it felt comforting (no -1 CHA). I realize now that 10+ still means something sucks. Maybe that’s too harsh. Or maybe it just needs to change to “On a 10+, you learn a secret…” and 7-9 says “as above, but choose 1” or 2…

I love it how it is!
It has a very particular flavor that it recreates very well. Nice work.

Yeah, the choose one on a 10+ may turn people off from using it. Although CHANGE is normally a dump stat, so who knows? lol

Scott Selvidge I didn’t even think about the CHA as a dump stat angle. Then for sure I’m keeping “choose 1” in. I want to see them regret to dump CHA 🙂

lol well my group tends to make it a dump stat anyhow.
