Pandora’s Box

Wondrous Item, legendary (no attunement)

This box contains woes destined to punish humanity.

Using an action to open it and rolling a d6 will cause one of the effects described below. The calamity unleashed spreads for every minute the box is open by a distance equal to the radius of the initial effect.

d6	Result
1-2	Sickness. All creatures within 50 miles must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw, or be poisoned. A poisoned creature has its maximum hit points reduced by 1d6 each day at dawn.
3-4	Deceptive Hope. All creatures within 50 miles must succeed on a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, the creature’s alignment changes from good to neutral or from neutral to evil. In addition, the creature has disadvantage on all Wisdom saving throws until the box is closed and the effect ends.
5-6	Death. All creatures within 10 miles must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, the creature dies and becomes a zombified version of itself; retaining no memories or intelligence.
