- Family: Victory Laurel
A Victory Laurel is won by winners. This item appears to be a chaplet, or wreath, of some sort of plant. It may look like a lush assemblage of magnolia blossoms, an extravagant outburst of mountain holly, a restrained band of juniper twigs, or even a dry, sere assemblage of vines and thistles. Regardless of their appearance, all such items work the same way.
Out of battle, they seem to do nothing. Even in battle, they add no benefit to the wearer, unless they vanquish a foe in fair, open battle. If an attuned wearer of a Victory Laurel uses a weapon (not a Rod, Wand, Staff, or Instrument) to inflict upon a given foe their Bloodied value in damage or more, as well as adminster the killing blow, then the ineffable power of the Victory Laurel activates.
After a combat in which the wearer meets the requirements above, the Laurel sprouts with one or more Victory Berries. These blood-red fruits have no effect, and once a Victory Lurel has bloomed, any berries remain fresh and ready to use for up to a full moon. While it has any fruits on it, the Laurel will not sprout any new ones, until the wearer enters a combat with the Laurel completely bare.
Out of combat, the wearer of the Laurel may pick the fruits and eat them. Each Berry provides a days worth of food and water for up to a size Medium creature. Four Berries are a days food for a size Large creature, sixteen berries for a size Huge, etc. Berries must be consumed immediately after they are picked, or they lose their magic and become worthless. Note that the wearer of the Laurel may pick the Berries and immediately give them to an ally for them to consume.
In addition to the wonderful value as foodstuffs, each Victory Berry heals the eater for one hit point per Berry consumed. This is a source of instant healing for purposes of triggering effects activated by instant healing.
The owner of this magic item must wear it continuously for 24 hours to attune it to their aura, and until that time has passed, it provides no benefits to the wearer.
