Book of Foul Corruption

An unremarkable book with a powerful, unholy enchantment. Opening the book produces an effect dependent on the class and alignment of the character.

• Divine casters (lawful): Must save versus death or die.

• Divine casters (neutral): Change alignment to chaotic.

• Divine casters (chaotic): Sense the book’s foulness and may study it (requires 1 week) to gain one experience level and one point of WIS. A character can only gain this benefit once, even if another book of foul corruption is discovered.

• Arcane casters: Must save versus spells or lose 1 point of INT.

• Other classes (lawful): Suffer 4d10 damage.

• Other classes (neutral): Change alignment to chaotic.

• Other classes (chaotic): Unaffected.

• Vanishes after use: Once the book’s magical effect has occurred, it vanishes.
