A Greenstone Amulet protects the wearer against status effects that affect the mind like charm, confusion, fear, sleep, feeblemind etc at the cost of one charge and will last 1 turn.

Description[]

The deep green stone at the center of the amulet seems to shimmer with an iridescent light almost as if it has a life of its own. Even without the powerful magics that are bestowed upon the amulet it would be an extremely valuable addition to any collection.

Notes[]

While the Amulet has a maximum of 50 charges and a gold value of 10,000GP, when it is initially bought from Ulgoth's Beard Inn it has 10 charges and when found in the Beholder Cave in Underdark it has 15 charges, with a correspondingly lower gold value in both cases. It can be "recharged" like most charge items by selling it to a merchant and then buying it back, which will refill the charges to the maximum of 50 and reset the gold value to the full 10,000GP.

In terms of the Greenstone Amulet's utility, not only does it protect against a plethora of status effects, but it also provides specific protection against the following Psionic abilities (which are implemented in the game as innate spell effects). These are:

  • Psionic Blast (3 varieties)
  • Detonate
  • Ballistic Attack
  • Ego Whip
  • Domination
  • Psionic Maze

The one turn duration of "Mind Shield" protection is equivalent to an 8th Level spell power. All of the Amulet's protective effects can be dispelled with the appropriate Dispel Magic function. A Breach Spell will not remove any of the amulet's protective effects, as it is not coded as a combat or specific protection type.
