Gloves of Echoing Whispers
Wondrous Item (Gloves), rare (requires attunement)
These elegant, shimmering gloves are crafted from a mysterious, silken material that seems to shift color based on the light, ranging from deep navy to a bright azure. When worn, they emanate a faint hum, almost like a distant choir, which gives the wearer an air of subtle charm.
While attuned, the wearer can tap into the echoes of distant conversations and thoughts. Once per long rest, as an action, the wearer can activate the gloves to create a specific effect:
-
Whispering Insight: The wearer can listen in on conversations that happened within the last 24 hours in a location they can see within 60 feet. This allows them to gain unfiltered details about the conversations, including any secrets or hidden agendas revealed. The information is subject to the DM's discretion.
-
Echoing Voice: By speaking into the gloves, the wearer can project their voice, mimicking any sounds or voices they've heard within the past week. This ability can be used to create distractions, initiate role-play scenarios, or deceive an enemy. Once used, the effect can't be activated again until the next dawn.
-
Mind Resonance: The wearer can cast Suggestion once per long rest without expending a spell slot. The save DC for this ability is based on the wearer's spellcasting ability modifier.
In addition to these abilities, the gloves provide the wearer with advantage on Charisma (Persuasion) checks and Wisdom (Insight) checks, as the echoes of others resonate through their fingertips, enhancing their social prowess.
However, such power comes at a cost. Each time the wearer uses one of the magical abilities, they must make a DC 12 Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, they become momentarily overwhelmed by the whispers of the past, suffering from the distracted condition until the end of their next turn.
