Special Abilities
Death Throes (Su) A bag of experience explodes when destroyed, releasing a wave of life experience. All creatures within 30 feet are subject to a restoration spell (DC 14 Will negates).The save DC is Charisma-based.
Created as a repository of life force, a poor wizard’s phylactery, a bag of experience is used as a place to store memories and life experiences. Occasionally, after absorbing enough life energy or a particularly intense memory, a bag or experience will gain sentience and begin absorbing energy and memories on its own. It quickly gains in size and power as it almost mindlessly rampages with a mad desire to collect experience.
Construction
A Bag of Experience requires a well crafted cloth bag worth no less than 10 gp. These are often made of silk or satin but a simple hemp bag will serve so long as the crafter overpays.
