Mirror of Life
Trapping: references bucklers, though the various shield types
are never really delineated within these rules. This is a trivial
point, what we should like to point out is the hidden rule about gaze
attacks.
Hidden Rule:
the description for looking into this item and falling victim to it
gives a very good guideline for any gaze attacks: If it is openly
displayed there is a 90% chance an unsuspecting creature will look
full within it and be trapped. There is only a 10% chance a knowing
person will be unable to avoid looking into it. Stumbling upon
Medusa unprepared gives a 90% chance of meeting her gaze, if you’re
ready you have a 1 in 10 of meeting her eyes and getting “stoned.”
Magical Item Saving
Throws: if your PC survives the attack so do the magic items
survive with the exception of magic helms not a part of a fighter’s
magic armor. Easy as pie.
Artifacts: these
are teased but not otherwise expanded upon. To be sure, enough
information is provided to spur the imagination of a good referee.
Science fiction and fantasy writers such as Moorcock, Burroughs,
Howard, Alan Dean Foster, and others; provide many good examples.
