Fork of the Forgotten OneSource Ultimate Equipment pg. 337, Advanced Player's Guide pg. 317
Aura strong transmutation CL 20th
Slot none; Price —; Weight 12 lbs.DescriptionThis +5 flaming wounding unholy ranseur was once the
weapon of a powerful archdevil who they say controlled
an entire layer of Hell. When he attempted to defy the
Prince of Darkness, he was overthrown and banished into
some cold and remote prison at the edge of the multiverse.
Still bearing some infernal vestige of the forgotten fiend’s
power, the fork grants the bearer a +10 bonus on Diplomacy
and Intimidate checks and the power to use scorching ray
three times per day.
Any nonevil creature who touches the Fork of the Forgotten
One is given a choice: become lawful evil immediately, or die.
Those who choose death are instantly slain (Fortitude DC 30
negates). Those who choose to become lawful evil change
alignment immediately (no saving throw) and are subject to a
demand spell (Will DC 25) requiring that they find the Forgotten
One and free him from his icy prison—presumably thereafter
he will press them into service for his plans of revenge against
those who imprisoned him.DestructionThe Fork of the Forgotten One is destroyed when a paladin
of 19th level or higher touches it and chooses death rather
than becoming lawful evil. This sacrifice still kills the paladin,
though she can be raised from the dead.
