One of my PCs has a pair of gloves of object reading, and is using them on Nualia's Sihedron medallion.
Here's the information I think I'll give him:
Minute 1: The last owner's race was aasimar.
Minute 2: The last owner's gender was female.
Minute 3: The last owner's age was twenty-two.
Minute 4: The last owner's alignment was chaotic evil.
Minute 5: The last owner gained the object by taking it away from a goblin, and lost it by dying.
Minute 6: The next-to-last owner's race was goblin.
Minute 7: The next-to-last owner's gender was male.
Minute 8: The next-to-last owner's age was fifteen.
Minute 9: The next-to-last owner's alignment was chaotic evil.
Minute 10: The next-to-last owner gained the object by finding it, and lost it by having it taken away from him by the last owner.
Comments? At the least, does Nualia's age seem right at twenty-two? This would put her at seventeen during the Late Unpleasantness.
Ha! I was wrong. She didn't find it--she got it from Xanesha. The information should read as follows:
Minute 1: The last owner's race was aasimar.
Minute 2: The last owner's gender was female.
Minute 3: The last owner's age was twenty-two.
Minute 4: The last owner's alignment was chaotic evil.
Minute 5: The last owner gained the object by receiving it as a gift, and lost it by dying.
Minute 6: The next-to-last owner's race was lamia matriarch.
Minute 7: The next-to-last owner's gender was female.
Minute 8: The next-to-last owner's age was fifty-seven.
Minute 9: The next-to-last owner's alignment was chaotic evil.
Minute 10: The next-to-last owner gained the object by receiving it as a gift, and lost it by giving it away.
Better?
Fifty-seven... I guess she does look young (that Medusa Mask helps, it's like magic Botox), but I'm sure Lamia Matriarchs (especially Lucrecia and Xanesha) are probably older than that, they're practically immortal, aren't they?
I'd figure their ages at a couple of hundred years (just to give the PCs an appropriate fear of her, she is CR 10 after all) at least, maybe more.
Good point. We don't often get ages for monstrous humanoids. I could make it two hundred and seven (for example), and I think it would get the response you predict. Thanks!
