Artifact suggestions..

[The Metro Gnome]

The any key.

Opens any lock.

Are you referring to the Silver Key? It's already made, and opens/locks any door (and iirc disarms traps)

[Laukku]

Yeah, I knew of it, but I thought that calling it "any key" was a funny idea. :P

[Aielyn]

------ Chastity's Belt (+2, +0) [+0,+12] (+5 spd) {Le+5 Ma+5 Ch-10} -------

Weight: 20s

The immaculate girdle is really an uncursed Chastity's Belt (+2, +0) [+0,+12] (+5 spd) {Le+5 Wi+5 Ch-10}

It is an auto-locking item.

This artifact is mostly a really good artifact... except that, because it's auto-locking, you cannot switch it when necessary. So, suppose you're wearing Chastity's Belt, and you manage to, say, find the platinum girdle. The platinum girdle is rather clearly the better artifact, but you wouldn't be able to remove the belt... and because it's an artifact, it cannot be destroyed, either. Thus the problem.

If other features, like ability to have a family, etc, are implemented in Jade, then this would also stop you from having children.

There is, however, a solution. The belt has a lock on it, which is what autolocks. There's a second artifact that pairs with this one.

------ Lecher's Key -------

Weight: 1s

The dirty key is really a Lecher's Key


As you can probably guess, if you have Lecher's Key, you can use it to remove Chastity's Belt. Chastity's Belt is relatively easy to find, however, compared with Lecher's Key. So if you happen to come across an immaculate girdle, don't be too hasty to wear it, otherwise you might find you've made a bad judgment.

Perhaps, as another twist, there's someone else in the world who wants Lecher's Key, to unlock their own chastity belt, and giving it to them gives you some reward. But be careful not to put on Chastity's Belt if you've given away Lecher's Key, because there's no way to get it back, and it's one-of-a-kind.

I like this idea.

I would add:

It removes -lucky even if the player had another artifact granting it.

This would stop the PC getting lucky
