Item: Slime Ducts (Cave Blight)
Nearly invisible ducts in your skin secrete a layer of slime that coats your flesh.
Activate—Secrete Slime 1 (concentrate)
Requirements You activate the ducts, covering yourself with a thin layer of slime
Effect The black, tar-like sludge on your skin sticks to anything that touches it. The green-tinged oil coating your skin is radioactive. This radiation is harmless to you and other creatures, but its emanations interfere with teleportation magic. You gain a +2 item bonus to saving throws against effects that would teleport you. In addition, a creature that teleports to within 30 feet of you is thrown off by the interference, taking a –2 circumstance penalty to all checks and DCs until the beginning of their next turn. The slime lasts for 10 minutes or until you Dismiss the effect.
Trait Effects
Graft: An item that has the graft trait is a living tissue sample that has been implanted into a host. It’s permanently a part of the subject’s body and reduces the number of items that creature can invest per day by 1. Each graft has the invested trait to indicate this limitation—a graft is like an invested item that the host creature has no choice but to invest. If a creature gets a new graft when their limit on invested items has already been reduced to zero, the host body rejects the graft. Once fully implanted, a graft cannot take damage separately. If a graft is ever severed from the host body, it can be reattached by any effect that can typically reattach limbs or organs, such as the _regenerate_ spell. A grafter can remove a grant using the same process required to implant one, though this does not necessarily restore any organs replaced by the graft initially. Grafts typically require specialized storage conditions, such as alchemical tanks, to remain viable outside of a host. Grafts can usually be upgraded into their greater versions by having a grafter apply additional surgeries, mutagenic development, or similar medical procedures.
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.
