**: Per special bead.
A magical necklace of this sort appears to be a
normal piece of non-valuable jewelry until i t is placed about a character's
neck.
Even then, the true nature of the item will only be revealed if the
wearer is a cleric (excluding druids and characters otherwise able
to use
spells of a clerical or druidic nature such as paladins and rangers).
The
necklace of prayer beads consists of 25-30 <24+d6> semi-precious
(60%) and fancy
(40%) stones. The wearer will be 25% more likely to successfully petition
his or her deity to grant desired spells. There will also be 3-6 special
beads
(precious stones, gems of 1,000 g.p. base value) of the following sort
(roll
for each bead):
| Die Roll | Results |
| 1-5 | BEAD OF ATONEMENT- as the 5th level spell of the same name |
| 6-10 | BEAD OF BLESSING - as the 1st level spell of the same name |
| 11-15 | BEAD OF CURING - cures blindness, disease, or serious wounds (as the appropriate spell does) |
| 16-17 | BEAD OF KARMA - allows the cleric to cast his or her spells as if
he or she were 4 levels higher (with respect to range, duration, etc.) |
| 18 | BEAD OF SUMMONS- calls the cleric's deity (90% probability) to
come to him or her in material form (but i t had better be for a good reason!) |
| 19-20 | BEAD OF WIND WALKING - as the
7th level spell of the same
name |
Each special bead can be used but once per day. If the cleric summons
his
or her deity, the deity will take the necklace as the least punishment
for
vain purposes in so doing. The function of each bead is known only
when
the bead is grasped and a commune
spell used. All powers of the special
beads will be lost if they are removed from the necklace.
