Property
Any stone can line a hearth – but a natural hearth stone is special. This pale pink stone, placed within 5 feet of a steady fire such as a campfire, spreads a 30-foot aura of peace:
- Creatures that stay in it for 5 minutes regain 1 extra hit point per Hit Die they roll.
- The temperature is pleasant for everyone, wet things dry twice as fast, and bad weather stays out.
- Those who sleep there dream peacefully and wake with all Hit Dice restored.
- Hostile creatures entering make a DC 14 Charisma save or become neutral.
The stone isn’t used up. The aura ends if the stone is moved more than 5 feet from the fire or the fire goes out.
Good for: home, rest and peace items.
Affinity: rest, calm, fire, healing
In this system
A portion of Natural Hearth Stone is an empty vessel that can hold 10,000 MP (MP). It only becomes magical when a character charges it. Unique parts are what a special slot is for.
