TREASURES

NOTES

CURSED ITEMS

Cursed items usually stop to work if benefictal normally. In addition, they cannot be removed without exceed force, and the wearer may try to prevent that.

For example, a cursed ring of fire resistance do not confer any special resistance against fire until the curse has been removed.

Note that swords or wands or other items not actually worn never stick to user, nor does many cursed items until their curse has apperaed - so putting a ring into a finger and then trying to remove it is not always a secure way to check it.

PROTECTION DEVICES

Items granting additional +1 armor are never cumulative. If a character has cloak of protection, bracers of defense and magical heavy armor, his armor is enhanced by +3 only.

As with armor, save bonus +1 is neither ever cumulative. In addition, do not apply save modifier to system shock saves! (used when a creature is resurrected or reincarnated or turned back to flesh)

PICKING MAGIC ITEMS

When a new character is created, some magic items might be selected. Unless noted otherwise, the character is entitled to take level-10 magic items (mimimum 0, wiseguys). Any permanent magic item can be replaced with 2 wands or 5 one-use items. Items marked with * count as two of that kind. Items marked with ** are special, no ring of wishing can be taken and amulet of life saving count as one permanent magic item.
