The Camel Cameo is a magic talisman which when touched, and the person touching it utters someone's name, the person named is changed into a camel unless he makes a magic save. The person so changed retains intelligence, memory, skills, etc. but in all other respects is a camel. The character has the hit points of a camel, or their own, whichever are higher. They can make attacks as a camel. To change a person back, the Camel Cameo is touched and the person's name uttered backwards. One may use it on oneself, on one's friends, or on monsters encountered provided their names are known.
Note that the target must be able to hear their name being spoken for the cameo to function so range is generally about 50 feet or so but could be less in noisy areas. The device can be activated up to 3 times per day to change someone into a camel, and an indefinite number of times per day to change them back. If a target make's their save, they automatically make all future saves for 24 hours.
In appearance, it looks like a cameo about 1" in diameter and 1/4" thick with a camel carved in relief in brown stone with a white background on one side, and a mirror image camel carved in intaglio in white stone from a brown surface on the other side. Non-magical worth is 500 sp (jewelry value alone). |
