PEARLY OKIMONO OF THE

Many ship captains keep a pearly okimono of the sea dragon in
their cabins, although smaller vessels have one mounted on
their bows for decoration. It is a mark of prestige to possess
one, since these items greatly benefit warships, exploratory
vessels, and fishers alike.

inches in diameter and inlaid with mother-of-pearl, coral,
and white pearls depicting an ocean scene.

instructs the owner (simultaneously in the Spirit
Tongue and Draconic) on the effects of the item and how to
activate it.
Effect: When carried aboard a waterborne vessel, a pearly
okimono of the sea dragon grants a +5 bonus on any Profession

scale affixed to its center.

SONOROUS SCALE
Characters who are tired of having their prize jewelry swiped
by thieves will find that this scale to be a shocking deterrent
to would-be pickpockets.
Description: This song dragon scale is decorated with
a variety of precious metals and gems with no discernible
pattern or form.
Activation: Speaking a command word causes a sonorous
scale to transform into an attractive piece of jewelry of the
speaker’s choice, such as a brooch, pendant, bracelet, circlet,
or amulet. No matter what its shape, this item does not inhibit
the function of any other magic item in use by its owner.
After donning the jewelry, the wearer can touch it safely, but
anyone else grabbing it will trigger the damage and keening
effects. The wearer can speak a second command word
to deactivate the keening, and a third to turn the jewelry
back into a dragon scale, which can be touched safely by
anyone.
Anyone who dons a sonorous scale receives mental instructions
in Draconic on the effects of the item and how to
activate it.
Effect: When activated, a sonorous scale acts purely as a
theft deterrent. If someone tries to take the piece of jewelry
from the wearer, it deals 3d8 points of electricity damage
to the thief and emits a high-pitched keening sound that
can be heard with a DC –20 Listen check (making it clearly
audible up to 300 feet away, assuming no barriers exist). The
noise stops only if the item is removed from the wearer, if
the wearer is slain, or if the wearer deactivates the keening
with a command word.
Aura/Caster Level: Moderate evocation; CL 6th.
Construction: Craft Wondrous Item, alarm, shocking grasp,
1,250 gp, 100 XP, 3 days.
