Item: Boots of the Dead
Perhaps you had no other choice than to steal the boots off a fallen soldier. Yours may have been worn out, full of holes, or even coming apart. Did you take them from a fallen ally or adversary? Everyone looks the same after war has its way. Nevertheless, the guilt you feel weighs you down. You gain a +1 item bonus to saving throws and DCs against forced movement.
Activate—One of You 1 (manipulate)
Frequency once per hour
Effect You shuffle your boots, which still stink of the dead, causing one undead creature of your choice to think that you too are undead. The target is Off Guard against the next melee attack you attempt against it before the end of your current turn.
Trait Effects
Invested: A character can invest only 10 magical items that have the invested trait. None of the magical effects of the item apply if the character hasn’t invested it, nor can it be activated, though the character still gains any normal benefits from wearing the physical item (like a hat keeping rain off their head).
Magical: Something with the magical trait is imbued with magical energies not tied to a specific tradition of magic. Some items or effects are closely tied to a particular tradition of magic. In these cases, the item has the arcane, divine, occult, or primal trait instead of the magical trait. Any of these traits indicate that the item is magical.
