Ganji Doll


Serpent's Skull


A player who is being tormented via a Ganji Doll had break enchantment cast upon himself in an effort to prevent further pain. Would that, or anything else, be able to sever the link between the target and doll?

The Ganji Doll is basically a curse so break enchantment should be able to remove the connection with a successful CL check vs. DC 17 (11 + CL 6 of the doll).

Now I'd say it is up to you whether or not the connection between the doll and its victim can be re-established through some kind of ritual or if the doll is destroyed in the process. The description of break enchantment says:

If the effect comes from a permanent magic item, break enchantment does not remove the curse from the item, but it does free the victim from the item's effects.

but these are different circumstances so it's up to you.

Personally, I'd think about if the item served its purpose in harassing the PC or if you are trying to make a point of some kind (maybe fueling the PCs hatred against a BBEG) and rule accordingly.

I was leaning that way already, but it's an odd case and wanted a 2nd opinion. Thanks for the input.
