Is Cyclops worth it as a pretender god?

It is a bit strange though when applied to magical eyes.

Which is cool, but gets silly when applied to Pretenders. Perhaps there should be a Magic Resistance Check? And obviously crippling items that require surgery should probably just not be found!

IMHO it would be cool to expand the gem case to allow one to carry magic items. Found items would go there, except that if one failed a MR save then cursed items might be equipped (possibly even forcibly swapping out current equipment).

Now that would be cool!

Seems like items that require surgery should be a special case, and perhaps some others - not all harmful items need be traps.

With regards to prosthetic limbs -- "Groovy."

This thread was just hilarious!

It's a good thing we have magic eyes and hearts.

Golden left foot

This powerful artifact grants its owner an ability to throw globes of compressed air at the opponents with an amazing precision. Globes cause stun damage to anyone who is hit. His inclination to demonstrate this uncanny talent in his free time decreases unrest in the province he resides in, and the artifact also grants the owner an ability to inspire awe in lesser mortals (awe-3). He also has a small chance to attract Maenads (female humans who fight with *claws* when enraged). The downside is that it lowers its owner's pain threshold, and he is more prone to get afflictions. His leadership skills are also decreased, since his comrades dislike his tendency to hug his brothers-in-arms every time he manages to hit someone with one of the globes.
