Adds +1 to AC
If the wearer is a monk and not wielding a hand-held weapon, in addition to the AC bonus, the character also deals +4 damage when making flurry of blows attacks. This damage bonus does not apply if the monk is wielding either one or two handheld weapon(s), even if the weapon(s) is(are) flurry of blows compatible. (The AC bonus from this item is not affected by weapon choice.)
Wearer may equip up to two additional Beads.
This item’s effect stacks with other Bead slot-expanders, but the wearer is still subject to the Slot Expanders Cap of no more than eight Beads.
Even if the character is capable of equipping more than one Wrist slot token, this item cannot be equipped with either Greater Bead Bracelets or Bibwik’s Bead Bracelets.
Wearer is immune to attacks from natural insects.
Note: The term “natural” means it exists in the real world.
While in the Coaching Room, before the game begins, the character gains +4 to one Ability Score of the player’s choosing. This is a +4 bonus to the Ability Score itself, not +4 to that Ability Score Bonus. That Ability Score’s total bonus is going to increase by 2 as a result of this item. This choice cannot be altered once the character has left the Coaching Room.
All the wearer’s 2-handed Melee weapon attacks gain +1 To Hit.
This bead does not affect 1-handed weapons, even if two 1-handed weapons are used at the same time. For that reason, even though a ranger can equip this bead, they’re probably better off if they don’t. There are some 2-handed Melee weapons that monks can wield, but monks might also want to eschew this bead.
All Ranged attacks made by the wearer suffer -1 To Hit.
Once per room, when the owner ingests (consumes via the mouth) any kind of healing item, the owner heals +3 HP.
To be compatible with Bead of Binding, the ingested item must restore HP expressed as an integer, not a variable such as “half” or “all.” Items which bring the dead back to life are not affected by this item.
The wearer of this item may not equip a Bead of Greater Binding.
