# Talisman Rules

## Attunement
In Elden Ring, the standard tarnished can equip 4 talismans, changing them at will. In this conversion, attunement is used to represent this system - as a DM, you can choose to extend default amount of items a player character can attune to to 4 to simulate the game, or you can leave it at 5e's default of 3.

Either way, other magic items, such as weapons and armour, will never require attunement in this system - only talismans.

### Talisman Wording
Most items in D&D 5th edition have to be worn a on a specific place or wielded in a particular way. This is not the case for talismans - you can assume that each talisman is effective while it is on the character's person.

> ##### Remember: Attunement Rules
> A creature’s attunement to an item ends if the creature no longer satisfies the prerequisites for attunement, if the item has been more than 100 feet away for at least 24 hours, if the creature dies, or if another creature attunes to the item. A creature can also voluntarily end attunement by spending another short rest focused on the item, unless the item is cursed.

### Talisman Attunement Limitations
You cannot attune to multiple talismans with the same name that have a number appended to them, such as "+1" or "+2" - for example, you can't attune to multiple dragoncrest shield talismans or multiple crimson amber medallions.

Additionally, some talismans are mutually exclusive with other talismans, meaning you cannot attune to both at once.  Such talismans are listed below:

\columnbreak

## Sorting
The talismans are sorted the same way as they are in game - by type. Though the types aren't made clear in the game, and seem to be based on the general visual and conceptual idea of the talismans rather than the mechanics they grant.

In addition, certain talismans have been renamed, as their names specific related to questlines from the game that may not be present depending on the historical time period of the Lands Between that are used.

## Talisman Rarity
Just like standard magic items, the rarity of talismans indicates their power compared to other magic items, and in turn, how high level a player character would be to receive them and how hard the talismans are to find in the world.

Legendary talismans, like standard legendary magic items, are exceedingly powerful and rare, and should only be granted to higher-level player characters.

The following talismans are simple buffs to various aspects of a creature's self.

## Defensive Talismans
Defensive talismans reduce and mitigate negative effects such as damage or conditions. They would likely be one of the more commonly found talismans in the world.

> ##### Rules Reminder: Resistances and Reductions
> Resistance and then vulnerability are applied after all other modifiers to damage. For example, a creature has resistance to bludgeoning damage and is hit by an attack that deals 25 bludgeoning damage. The creature is also within a magical aura that reduces all damage by 5. The 25 damage is first reduced by 5 and then halved, so the creature takes 10 damage.

\pagebreakNum

## Weapon Enhancements
Each of these talismans grants generally useful benefits based around the theme and abilities of their namesake.

> ##### Rules Reminder: High Jump
>When you make a high jump, you leap into the air a number of feet equal to 3 + your Strength modifier if you move at least 10 feet on foot immediately before the jump. When you make a standing high jump, you can jump only half that distance. Either way, each foot you clear on the jump costs a foot of movement. In some circumstances, your GM might allow you to make a Strength (Athletics) check to jump higher than you normally can.

\pagebreakNum

## Spell Enhancements
These talismans enhance the abilities of spellcasters - since spellcasters are already very powerful, many of these talismans are of legendary importance, and difficult to find in the world.

 If you prepare spells instead of knowing them, the amount of spells you can prepare increases by 4. Any additional spells you prepared using this item are no longer prepared if you end your attunement. If you have multiple classes with spellcasting or pact magic, choose one class to prepare or know additional spells for when you attune to this item. You cannot change this decision, even if you attune to this item again later.
