Tuesday Magic Item – Peacock’s Eye Jewelry

Gollaon surveyed the assembled nobles.  “They seem to taking the threat of assassination very seriously,” he noted.

“With three of there number slain in the last month, I should not wonder,” said Voddick.  “But you are referring to their choice of jewelry are you not?”

“Perceptive as always my friend,” nodded Gollaon.  “I wonder if they are pieces they had in storage or if some clever merchant was prepared to cash in on their fear?”

Peacock’s Eye Jewelry

These useful items are always in the shape of a peacock eye, often incorporating the feathers directly into the design.  They can be any sort of jewelry, bracelet, collar, earring, necklace, and all have the same effect, helping to protect the wearer by enhancing their perception of threats.The wearer of a piece of peacock’s eye jewelry gains a +4 competence bonus to any check to avoid being surprised or caught unaware and they gain a +2 competence bonus on initiative checks.

Additionally, the wearer can reroll any failed Reflex save but if this reroll changes failure to success, it uses up the magic of jewelry and it becomes non-magical.
