Often placed among other cursed items in faux treasure rooms set as traps, this seemingly ordinary platinum piece means the probable death of any living creature that so much as touches it. If a living creature willingly touches it, it is affected by a slay living spell 1d3 minutes later, with the DC 17 Fortitude saving throw rolled secretly. If the creature makes the save, it is affected by a rigor mortis^LbM spell with a save Fortitude DC of 14, paralyzing the creature for the duration of 1 minute. When the rigor mortis effect wears off, the whole process of a slay living followed by a rigor mortis repeats. Only a successful break enchantment, a successful save against the rigor mortis effect, or successfully passing ownership of the coin to another victim (difficult when you're paralyzed), can end the cycle. Touching the coin again begins the effects again.
