Big Book of Mishaps & Misfortunes¶
The pages of this weather-beaten, bloodstained book contain lists of names, most of which have been crossed off. Once you become attuned, you may write the name of an individual whom you now. For the next 24h, that victim suffers disadvantage on all Dexterity saving throws. For the 24h after that, the victim suffers disadvantage on all Constitution saving throws. For the next 24h, the victim suffers disadvantage on all Wisdom saving throws.
After a victim has suffered three days of the curse (or has perished), the book crosses off the name. Until the previous name has been crossed off, no new text may be written in the book.
If a victim does not die after being affected by the book, they become aware that the book's owner is responsible for their bad luck.
