Cursed Contents. Any creature that writes its name within this tome becomes affected by a streak of terrible luck. When any of those creatures are making a critical skill check (DM’s discretion), that creature makes the roll with disadvantage as some random misfortune befalls them. These misfortunes automatically become documented within the pages of the tome along with humorous and degrading remarks regarding the outcome. When the tome is destroyed or someone else writes their name in the book, the curse is lifted.
False Appearance. While the tome remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from a normal book. It will always brandish a name such as Power and Wealth or Rags to Riches and will appear in pristine condition. The contents of the book encourage a reader to write its name within the pages with promises of power.
Actions
