Sweet Sophia's Rag Doll

Wondrous item, rare

A simple rag doll, crafted from scraps of linen, with loosely stitched seams and a body stuffed with straw. Its face is crudely embroidered with thread, and it wears a small, tattered dress made from faded cloth.

Curse. As an action, you can use the doll to cast bestow curse (WIS save DC equal to your spell save DC) without expending a spell slot. The spell has an unlimited range (although the target must be on the same plane of existence as you) and all that needs to be known by you is the target’s name. The duration of the curse lasts until the next dawn, or if remove curse is cast on the affected person. This feature can be used once a day, with the feature recharging at dawn. When you use this feature, you can choose the nature of the curse from the following options:

• Choose one ability score. While cursed, the target has disadvantage on ability checks and saving throws made with that ability score.

• While cursed, the target has disadvantage on attack rolls against you.

• While the target is cursed, your attacks and spells deal an extra 1d8 necrotic damage to the target.

Sympathetic Magic. If you know the name of a creature and have a piece of it (hair, nail, etc.), you can use the doll to cast scrying on that creature once per day without expending a spell slot. This feature can be used once per short rest.
Bond of Suffering. If you know the name of a creature, as an action, you can invoke a powerful curse, causing the bound target to share in your pain. For the next minute, whenever you take damage, the target takes the same amount of damage. However, whenever you heal during that time, the target also heals the same amount. You can use this effect once per long rest.

History
