It's over word count. It's a meme. It's a real world item.

It is the ultimate camping item that makes adventuring safe.

It breaks many other wondrous item rules and probably invents a few new ones, BUT this WILL classify as Rule 27

Thanks Mum...

Description

A magnificent life size statue of a beautiful lady is imbued with the ability to become as gentle as a butterfly or as fierce as a tiger in one segment and can self replicate once every twenty years.

When active, it can call your name in full, causing you to cease immediately any actions, drop anything you are holding and be frozen in fear for 1 round. This bypasses all fear immunity. Should the target of the shout try to hide, it will find them unerringly and imprison them in a chamber with just a bed and wardrobe for their comfort.

Should the target escape initial capture, they find they always unerringly are drawn to the lady whereupon they are set upon by savage point and finger wagging causing them to seek out injustice and right it in atonement for their sins.

They always know when you have committed an alignment infraction and will use the previously mentioned powers to call you to task.

When found in a pack, they are immune to all forms of attack and will instantly destroy any attackers. Even a king will quail before their demands for “a girl’s night out”.

Their secondary power “Hand it over” combined with “Now” is irresistible, bypassing all spell resistance and all immunity. You must hand over what they demand to be given.

But their greatest capacity is an aura of love that envelops you, cradling you to sleep and helping you forget the trials and monsters you face every day.

Not entirely true. Using a magical process, I transformed a masterwork wife into one of these a long time ago. Also, the resulting byproduct has a chance to eventually develop these properties as well.

He he, the only rule I was aiming for was #27 :P

Anything else is fair game for wrongness.

p.s. I showed the wife, I was fine until the Hand it Over Now and promptly got slapped for my trouble. :D

ssssshhhh!:
That's why it became mum and not wife in the name :P

did you laugh?:
SLAP!

From his wife!

That's the clone spell effect - the 20 year self replication function - nice to know it works in the real world too.

Luckily my wife (and mother of my child) doesn't read these boards, but I won't add any of my own comments regarding the above that could get me called various names, hahaha.

Unfortunately though, while it might very well Rule 27 itself, I fear the word count is a hard limit, and one not to be overruled by Rule 27.

I was going to count the rules it does violate though, but as the very name of the item violates the "Use American English" mantra of the competition (possibly that is Rule 10?), I figured to just chuckle, chortle, and laugh as I saw other rules getting broken.

Well done!

Funnily enough, if you knock the aura down to one and choose a single spell - it gets very close to being at the word limit!

But yes, chuckle away, that's what it's for, relieve that stress before voting day :)

Try watching your 20 year old daughter sat next to your wife watching a chick flick - it's uncannily scary at times >.<
