The fact that words like "description" appear in print in all-caps is a function of our formatting, fonts, and style. The word LOOKS like it's all caps, but if you copy/paste that word into another document... say, a bookmark in a PDF... that uses a standard font with no unusual style treatment, it reverts to whatever you originally typed. Which, if you typed it in all-caps, now looks weird...

Thanks for the clarification. I'll have to remember this for the next round.

Hmmm, I'm confused and I guess I should've asked this question before submitting my item (I was too excited!)...

MARTYR'S TEAR

Aura moderate necromancy; CL 6th
Slot -- ; Price 7,200 gp ; Weight --

DESCRIPTION
This imperfect, rose-tinted gemstone resembles a teardrop when held one way or a broken heart when turned the other. Its pale facets are typically marred by a single crack or chip near the gem's middle.

Once per day, the gem's owner may spend a full-round action to transfer any number of his own hit points into the gem, causing the gem's color to deepen as hit points are absorbed. Using another full-round action, the hit points contained within the Tear can be transferred to another creature that touches the gem, returning the gem to its original hue.

Hit points stored within the gem fade away at a rate of one hit point per minute until the gemstone is once again empty.

CONSTRUCTION
Requirements Craft wondrous item, vampiric touch; Cost 3,600 gp
