Appendix D: Infernal Magic Items - Chains of Asmodeus

Appendix D: Infernal Magic Items. Infernal magic items are items forged in the Nine Hells specifically for devils. These items are an easy way to make a devil more powerful, but due to their cursed nature, are often dangerous for mortals to use. Powerful infernal items are found in dangerous places across all layers of the Nine Hells.

Once attuned, the mortal risks an increasing chance of being corrupted by the item. This corruption starts as pain, infernal whisperings, and delusions, but quickly descends into physical changes, insanity, and an eventual transformation into a devil. In addition to the item's corrupting influence, these items curse mortals that attune to them. Mortals that receive express permission from Asmodeus, or that make an infernal contract to acquire a magic item, don't suffer the effects of infernal corruption. Stage One Corruption: Beginnings Once a character has attuned to a cursed infernal magic item or artifact, it begins the infernal corruption process. Each time that character finishes a long rest, they must make a 10 Wisdom saving throw. (If the character is a tiefling they have advantage on this saving throw.) On a successful save, the character suffers no effects, but the DC increases by 1 the next time they must make this saving throw. On a failure, the character progresses to Stage Two of their corruption unless the Dispel Evil and Good spell is cast on the character before they start their next long rest.
