Foulcrum - Ash Stonefist

Plate armor. While wearing, resistance to one of bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing, chosen/randomized by DM. Cursed on attunement; while cursed, vulnerability to the other two damage types, and removing armor does not end curse.

Controlled dose for 1 hour: +2 to Strength, Dexterity, and Charisma checks and saves; -2 to Constitution, Intelligence, and Wisdom checks and saves. When the effect ends, make a DC 13 Constitution save or gain exhaustion; the DC increases by 2 for each failed Boost comedown save within 24 hours. A green shimmer gives disadvantage on Deception checks to appear sober within 10 feet. Uncontrolled Boost vapor, gas pits, mushrooms, or contaminated atmospheres can poison rather than empower, applying the downsides without the benefits.

Can cast Fireball at 3rd level as a bonus action from your hand, save DC 14, once per long rest. If you know Fireball, you may cast through the glove using spell slots as a bonus action. After casting, take 1d6 fire backlash.

Rare handwraps gifted to Ash at Rabe House. While worn and attuned, Ash's unarmed strikes are treated as focused magical attacks, and the wraps provide Constitution/concentration support under pressure. Exact bonus math is tracked on Ash's character resource sheet.

Possible duplicate of Colonel's Volley Glove. Cast Fireball at 3rd level as a bonus action, save DC 14, once per long rest; after casting, take 1d6 fire damage backlash.

Treasure container holding two standard holy water flasks. Each flask may be used as normal holy water: as an action, splash onto a creature within 5 ft or throw up to 20 ft, shattering on impact; make a ranged attack against a target creature, treating the holy water as an improvised weapon. If the target is a fiend or undead, it takes 2d6 radiant damage. The ornate sealed steel flasks and wax seals account for any value beyond the 25 gp holy water contents.

+1 dagger that counts as magical. When used to stabilize a creature with a Medicine check, the check automatically succeeds and the creature regains 1 HP; this benefit can affect each creature once per long rest. As a bonus action, choose whether the dagger deals piercing, slashing, or necrotic damage until the end of your turn.

Plot clue linked to Madame Batdorf's Bone Charm Set: Madame Batdorf believes she is supposed to be with "the red ledger kid" and asks Ash to find them. Any time the Bone Charm is consulted about ledgers, poison, gnoll witchcraft, or cooking-medicine, the DM may provide one pointed hint that moves the party toward the red ledger kid.

Scatter bones to summon Madame Batdorf within 30 ft for 1 minute. Once per round she can force a reroll on failed Medicine, cooking, herb, venom, poison, or poultice checks. Crumbles after effect.

The wearer can cast Find Familiar. If the spell is used to call the wearer's closest Companion, that Companion has advantage on its first check after arriving.

When the wearer drops to 0 hit points and does not die outright, the choker ignites in harmless phoenix flame and is consumed. The wearer becomes stable and is wrapped in a burning ash cocoon. At the end of 10 rounds, if the wearer's body has not been destroyed and the cocoon has not been dispelled by magic such as Dispel Magic against DC 15, the wearer returns to consciousness with 1 hit point and gains 2d6 temporary hit points. While cocooned, the wearer is incapacitated, cannot move, and has resistance to fire damage. The cocoon sheds bright light in a 10-ft radius.

Action to summon randomized puppet within 10 ft; existing puppet replaced. Pirate puppet makes two scimitar attacks and can disengage; Viking puppet greataxe and nonmagical B/P/S resistance; Witch puppet casts/maintains Witch Bolt. Puppet lasts 1 minute; AC 14; HP = spellcasting ability modifier + proficiency bonus.

Ash used the crown to speak with Heathcliff, a giant rat who warned of deaths along the legendary path and helped reveal a hidden route. Full item mechanics still need source confirmation.

+1 bonus to Dexterity (Acrobatics) checks and +1 bonus to saving throws made to avoid falling prone or falling from narrow surfaces such as ledges or ropes.

+1 longsword that counts as magical for overcoming resistance and immunity. Ash touching a Void Edge Blade also triggered a corridor vision involving Salvatore Mentali, Soldier, Oskar, and Ash's unstable void-related role.

While attuned and wielding as spellcasting focus, gain +2 to spell attack rolls. When reducing a creature with blood to 0 HP within 5 ft, use reaction to drink blood and regain 1d6 HP. If 2+ HP restored, gain advantage on next attack and resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, slashing, and necrotic until end of next turn.

Consumable Wish access granted through Paulus Levius Cathedral. Exact activation text, limits, and consequences still need a dedicated mechanics pass.
