System Description
Enchanted Toe Ring of the Leprous Bandit.
This is a unique item.
Most children in the universe know the exciting tale of the Leprous Bandit, the infamous human thief whose people were starving to death because of a planet-wide quarantine. While all the planet's residents were carriers of the disease, it did not affect them. But because the disease was deadly to the Forsoothed, the planet's regents, the aliens placed themselves in floating protection platforms, guarding the gardens and food stores in hopes to starve the humans all out.
The bandit climbed a mountain, jumped onto a platform, and broke into the floating garden. He was quickly killed, of course, but not before he infected the Forsoothed and caused them to flee the planet. Thanks to the bandit's intervention, the human planet survived another 100 years before it was obliterated in an unrelated conflict. To this day, the Leprous Bandit remains an inspiration.
This toe ring imbues the following:
The Sticky Feet Benefit.
The Super Spreader Benefit.
Stat Bonuses & Properties
| Property | Effect |
|---|---|
| Sticky Feet (Active) | Once every six hours, for (Dexterity × 2) seconds, walk upon a non-horizontal surface — wall or ceiling. Gravity does not change. Bare feet must contact the surface; no socks or shoes. |
| Super Spreader (Passive) | Once per hour, pass any active debuffs onto a target of your choice. Does not remove the debuff from yourself. |
Tactical Notes
Sticky Feet was used during the Mrs. Ghazi fight (Ch22) to hang Carl upside-down from the ceiling of Ghazi's basement workshop, allowing him to apply burn gel directly to the sand ooze's glowing core — a combat angle otherwise impossible to achieve.
