Tuesday Magic Item – Generous Gingerbread

Gollaon inhaled deeply.  “What a delightful aroma.”

Voddick nodded in agreement.  “Once again. Mother Sugarfoot has outdone herself.  I hope that we are negotiating with will appreciate this offering in the spirit it is intended.”

“How could it not?”food

“That is so,” agreed Voddick.

Generous Gingerbread

This gingerbread is moist and delicious and the aroma is amazing.  It is designed as a gift to bring people together.

The gingerbread has no magic except when given as a gift.  When given honestly as a peace offering, it provides an aura of peace that gives all involved a +5 bonus to skill checks that will help in building peace or friendship.

Anyone who has eaten some of the gingerbread must make a Will save (DC 13) to initiate hostile action against either the giver of the gingerbread or anyone else who has eaten some.  This effect last for the duration of the meeting and 5d6 minutes thereafter.

First paragraph as above.

The gingerbread has no magic except when given as a gift.  When given honestly as a peace offering, it provides an aura of peace that gives all involved advantage on any tests that will help in building peace or friendship.

Anyone who has eaten some of the gingerbread must make a Charisma saving throw (DC 12) to initiate hostile action against either the giver of the gingerbread or anyone else who has eaten some.  This effect last for the duration of the meeting and 5d6 minutes thereafter.

Notes: Gingerbread is one of the few things I bake well but usually only around this time of year.  They make me happy and peaceful and I like to share them with my friends and family.
