Crown of HeavenSource Ultimate Equipment pg. 242 Aura moderate abjuration; CL 10th Slot head; Price 150,000 gp; Weight 5 lbs.DescriptionThis slim golden diadem,
bejeweled with diamonds and
sapphires, grants its wearer
fluency in Celestial and allows
her to detect evil at will and
use tongues once per day, both on command. She also gains
a +5 sacred bonus on Knowledge (planes) checks regarding
outsiders with the good or evil subtypes, and any effect she
creates with the good descriptor takes effect at +1 caster level.
A crown, an orb, and a scepter of heaven—collectively
known as a regalia of heaven—increase in power when used
together. If the wearer of a crown of heaven wields an orb or
scepter of heaven, effects she creates with the good descriptor
gain an additional +1 caster level, and she gains a +1 sacred
bonus to AC and on saves against attacks or effects created by
evil creatures. She also radiates an aura of menace in a 20-foot
radius. Any evil creature within this aura takes a –2 penalty on
attack rolls, on saving throws, and to AC until it successfully
hits the wearer of the regalia (DC 20 Will negates). A creature
that saves is immune to this effect for 24 hours. If the aura is
dispelled, the wearer can restore it as a standard action.
If the crown is worn while the wearer is wielding both an
orb and scepter of heaven, the crown’s caster level increases to
15th, effects the wearer creates with the good descriptor gain
an additional +1 caster level increase, and her sacred bonus to
AC and saves increases to +2. In addition, as a full-round action,
the wearer can create an aura of sanctity for as long as she
concentrates. This aura provides a +4 deflection bonus to AC and
a +4 resistance bonus on saving throws against attacks made
or effects created by evil creatures, as well as the benefits of a
magic circle against evil and a lesser globe of invulnerability.
A crown of heaven bestows one negative level on any evil
creature bearing it, which cannot be removed or overcome
while carrying the crown. If the same creature carries an orb
or scepter of heaven, it gains one additional negative level
per object. An evil creature intentionally donning a crown of
heaven gains an additional negative level and is affected as
bestow curse (DC 17) immediately and every 24 hours that
the crown is worn. A neutral character can attempt a DC 17
Fortitude save to avoid gaining these negative levels.
