[Mythical Arsenal] Minoan Helm (Patreon)

Minoan Helm

Wondrous item, rare (optional attunement)

Component: monstrosity (minotaur) horn

Gifted with a flawless sense of direction, minotaurs navigate the labyrinthine passages of their lairs with ease, and prefer to hunt in these environments where they enjoy a decisive advantage. Especially powerful minotaurs who have spilled copious amounts of blood in their mazes are able to shift the terrain to their will, further confusing their unfortunate prey.

Labyrinth Dweller. While wearing this helm, you can perfectly recall any path you’ve travelled and can’t get lost by nonmagical means. In addition, you automatically succeed on Intelligence checks made to escape the maze spell, and have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) and Intelligence (Investigation) checks made to spot and open secret doors and passages.

Optional Attunement. If you choose to attune to this item, you can use the Maze Architect property while you remain attuned to it.

OA: Maze Architect. While wearing this helm, you can cast the passwall spell from it. When the spell is cast in this way, you can end it early as a bonus action, and when a creature first enters the passage created by the spell, you can deal 1d6 psychic damage to it. Once this property of the helm has been used, it can’t be used again until the next dawn.

Curse. This helm is cursed, and becoming attuned to it extends the curse to you until you are targeted by the remove curse spell or similar magic. While cursed in this manner, whenever you start your turn and can see a creature primarily coloured or dressed in red, you must make a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, you must spend your turn moving towards that creature and, if possible, making melee attacks against it. Once you succeed on this saving throw, you can’t be affected by the curse again for 24 hours.

---------------------------------------

Very rare variant: Increase the save DC to 16. You have a +1 bonus to AC while wearing this helm.
