Chapter 13: Magical Items
Musical Instruments
A musical instrument is an object from
which music may be produced.
01-12 Drum of Drive: The head
of this drum will not break from heavy
drumming. This drum may be heard up to
1 mile away. All who hear this drum experience
an increase in their Drive sub-ability
while drumming occurs. The increase in
Drive depends on the speed at which the
drum is played. The speed at which it is
played depends only on the Hand-Eye Coordination
sub-ability of the drummer. For
each point of Hand-Eye Coordination above
100, the drummer may increase the Drive
of their audience by 1. The square root of
the percentage of the drummer’s Hand-Eye
Coordination that is used equals the percent
chance of the failure of the drummer per
round due to a mistake. If a mistake occurs,
then a 5-minute break is necessary. No
drummer may drum for more than thirty
consecutive minutes.
13-24 Flute of Felicity: Whosoever
plays this flute will cause all characters
within 1d100 feet to smile, laugh, and dance
as long as the flute is being played. When
the skill check is made for playing this instrument,
this magical effect is triggered only
if TH 17 is passed.
25-36 Flute of Followers: While
this flute is being played, all who hear it must
pass a Common Sense sub-ability check at
TH 22 or follow the player. This flute may
be heard up to 500 feet away. Each consecutive
round of playing, the player must
pass a Physical Fitness sub-ability check. The
TH begins at 3 and increases by 2 every
round. If failed, then the flute player must
take a 5-minute break.
37-48 Horn of Distance: This
horn may be heard 2d20 miles away when
blown.
49-60 Horn of Happiness: Whosoever
blows this horn will cause all others
within 1d100 feet to experience a permanent
increase of 1d20 points of Sanguine
temperament.
61-72 Horn of Horniness: Whosoever
blows this horn will cause all others
within 1d100 feet to desire each other
enough to stop what they are doing and
begin copulating. Each character within the
range must pass a Drive sub-ability check at
TH 20 to resist.
73-84 Lute of Lightning: If a
player has a skill of at least 50 with the lute
and a Hand-Eye Coordination sub-ability of
at least 150, then this lute will release a lightning
bolt in a direction chosen by the caster.
A particular musical phrase must be played.
The phrase is the first 2d10 notes played on
the instrument after its creation. The lightning
bolt causes 10d10 IP or LP of damage.
The lightning bolt may only be released once
per day. If attempted more often than this,
the player will be shocked for 1d10 LP of
damage upon playing the correct sequence
of notes.
85-100 Lute of Love: Whosoever
plays this lute will make the next 2 characters
who kiss within 1d100 feet fall in love.
The lute must be played while they kiss. The
skill check made to play this instrument determines
the strength of their love:
