Notes Regarding Major Malevolent Effects:

Malevolent powers operate whenever a major or primary power of the artifact or relic is used, unless operation occurs after a pre-determined (but low) number of uneventful usages of a major or primary power, as stated above (item description or Table). Effects can be successive and cumulative.

Body rot affects extremities — toes, fingers, ears, nose, lips, eyelids, hands, feet, arms, legs, head in that order — 1 member per operation. Nothing can prevent the loss or restore the member.

Geas/quest fulfillment enables the possessor to act freely until primary power use once again operates this power.

Life force freeing and associated entrapment of the possessor’s soul will likewise free the life force of a player character (and restore his or her body) if and when another character so uses the item.

Where creature types are called for, select powerful types which would be logically connected to the item, usually foes of its creator or alignment or purpose.

Aging 3-30 years is done by race life expectancy:

1) 3 years for half-orcs

2) 4 years for humans

3) 7 years for halflings

4) 12 years for half-elves

5) 20 years for gnomes

6) 25 years for dwarves

7) 30 years for elves

The aging cannot be reversed.
