Periapt of Placebos

Equipment Neck · 3600 gp · Weight 1

What at first appears to be a fine gem dangling from a long, silver chain is in fact a cut and polished bezoar. The periapt of placebos is a common magic item among alchemists and plague doctors alike, many of whom erroneously believe it renders them immune to the dangerous conditions in which they work. This necklace, often mistaken for a more powerful item, inspires in its wearer the utter conviction that they have been rendered immune to both disease and poison. While the necklace grants no genuine protections, the strength of belief it imparts nonetheless grants its wearer a +2 morale bonus to all saving throws against diseases and poisons. This is a mind-affecting effect.
