that makes it a curdsed item, which is neither silly nor useless. It is cursed.

[Egan_BW]

But it's cursed in an amusing way?

[Ozarck]

eh, your armorpiercing gloves are certainly humorous. I like those.

[wierd]

Armor piercing glove is not useless though...

Properly equipped on a suitable hand-to-hand specialist, (like an oldschool monk, or ninja), it could be combined with martial arts to do some very profane things to an armored foe. (Like doing a chest stab to remove somebody's heart.)

Especially if the gloves are classified as clothing, and not armor.

Genius Rock: A supergenius mind, in the body of a rock. Immune to telepathy and astral projection. Mute, deaf, and blind. It's a rock. But it's reeeaaaaallllly smart. Trust me.

My first thought upon reading this was "What if I cast Stone to Flesh on it?" Then I realized how messed up the results of that would be.

It would be a Helen Keller flesh golem with sign language I guess?

I would imagine it wouldn't have sign language. It doesn't have appendages. It would simply be a rock made of flesh, with all the other aspects listed. Well, at least it could be grilled at that point and eaten - though rock eater types could have eaten it anyway, so whatever.

Unless you’re in ADOM or some other rogue like where you literally are what you eat, I don’t think eating the rock-turned-flesh would do much good.

Also, Ozarck’s long list just sounds like a list of things a con artist would sell.

Or maybe the sort of thing some other person could trick another into buying.

IF they are what they eat, tehn they become a rock or flesh thing which is blind mute deaf and has infinite knowledge but no sapience.

But yeah, that list is a list of terrible items, that I don't really feel fit the spirit of the game here. The Idea of the game is to create interesting artefacts who's primary use is either pointless, or silly - not to create a bunch of powerful cursed items. I feel like a lot of the items people have created are similar: "Has x useful power. Has y curse making x power useless."

That's why I separated out the ring of anniversaries. Sure yo ucould concievably find a use for it, but in itself, it's just silly. If a random adventurer found that in a loot bag, she'd probably keep it, and maybe use it to make bar bets, but it probably wouldn't be much use in combat or anything.

Circlet of Mediocrity: The wearer always rolls a 10 for 20-sided die rolls.

This is an incredibly good item in, say, D&D 3.5. Some prestige classes even have class features that let you "Take 10" on specific skills as significant class features. It keeps you from auto-failing saving throws on a 1, and lets you achieve a 100% success rate with UMD on certain items 9 skill ranks/bonuses earlier than you would normally.

It could also serve as a way to "weigh" dice in gambling scenarios (or if you ran a die-repair/purchase/selling service), although you'd likely be accused of throwing dice in an improper manner if you did so.

Amulet of Heinous Evil: An amulet that, once per day, lets you determine the most Evil (according to your personal moral/ethical standards) action that you can perform within the next 10 minutes (your time, not the Prime Material Plane's time or the amulet's time) and how to get into a position that would allow you to perform said action. The ring calculates the information that it provides its wearer based on the wearer's knowledge, not through a Divination effect, so if its wearer is misinformed or if there are unpredicted factors in play, it could fail to provide the most Evil action available and/or a safe way to be able to execute it, and instead provide an "incorrect" answer. Theoretically useful if you need to prove your worth to a deity of Evil or something.

Ring of Bad Luck: Worsens the wearer's luck and erases the presence of itself from the wearer's mind (even if it is directly looked at, felt, etc.) for as long as it is worn.

Ring of good luck

When in a dangerous or stressful situation this ring tells you "good luck".

[Egan_BW]

Ring of Choice:

This ring grants the user Free Will, which ends up looking about the same as a lack of free will anyway.
