Aphodite’s Anklet – New Magic Item / A to Z Blogging Challenge [A]

“Come with me,” purred Cassia of the Cult of Aphrodite’s Beauty, “and I will show you the one of the outer secrets of our Cult.  Perhaps it will convince you to become an initiate.”

Vudon on the Bleak Wastes paused.  “Well . . . I already have a god who I consider my patron . . .”

Aphrodite’s Anklet

These items are made of silver chains from which hang small golden charms, usually symbols of romance but always a small mirror and a swan is found among them.

The anklet provides a +2 enhancement bonus to Charisma and it enhances the wearer’s physical charms, providing a +3 bonus to social skills when dealing with anyone who would find the wearer’s gender attractive.  Unfortunately, for some, it also removes inhibitions, giving the wearer a -2 penalty to resist temptations and if they have an ability that allows them to use Charisma in place of Wisdom for determining Will saves, it is negated while the anklet is worn.
