Item: Pristine Epaulets
Gaudy and sparkling, these intricately decorated epaulets have clearly never seen a battlefield. Worn by officers with more schooling or connections than actual fighting experience, these epaulets grant you a +1 item bonus to Society and Warfare Lore checks.
Activate—I Meant to Say R (concentrate, fortune)
Frequency once per day
Trigger You critically fail a Diplomacy check
Effect The pristine epaulets are often worn to both tense military negotiations and social events and can help you recover from a misstep. You can reroll the check, but you must take the new result.
Trait Effects
Fortune: A fortune effect beneficially alters how you roll your dice. You can never have more than one fortune effect alter a single roll. If multiple fortune effects would apply, you have to pick which to use. If a fortune effect and a misfortune effect would apply to the same roll, the two cancel each other out, and you roll normally.
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.
