I like it! I think that so long as it’s everyone around (not just a single target) it’s strong enough as is.

As to the recharge: what about instead: you must fall for one scam?

@Will I like this. Something is screwy with your table markup though?

(26) Ring of the Imperial Tax Inspector

1 charge

  • To activate: pound loudly on a door and announce in a stentorian voice, “Woe to you tax evaders, and render now your fair payment or else taste the wrath of the Emperor”. A map of the rooms and passages beyond appears carved in the door, with the three most significant treasures marked.
  • Recharge: Recover the three marked treasures and give the most valuable one to the local government.

(32) Ring of lunar lies

1 charge

  • A very large and elaborate silver ring, set with numerous pale moonstones. As long as the bearer holds their breath, they can change their appearance to that of anyone they have seen. Clothing and facial features can be changed, but not height or mass. The ring itself is always unchanged and remains visible on the bearer’s hand. Once activated, the bearer can transform by holding their breath, up until the moon sets, after which the ring is unusable until it recharges.

  • Recharges when a new moon rises.

(35) Ring of Frozen Sleep
