Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement)
Even a single one of these small wedge-shaped pins is said to grant the strength and vitality of a thousand men when embedded into the flesh and musculature of a living creature.
Inserting a Pin. You or another creature must spend 1 minute and a Wisdom (Medicine) check with the DC equal to your current Strength score to insert a pin. On a success, you take 1 piercing damage as the pin is successfully inserted and you attune to it. On a failure, you take 1d4 piercing damage and the pin is not successfully inserted. The first pin cannot be inserted if you have no empty attunement slots.
Strength of a Thousand Men. With one pin inserted into your flesh, you gain the following benefits:
- Your Strength and Constitution scores cannot be lower than 11, and your maximum for those scores becomes 21.
- Your Strength and Constitution scores both increase by 1, up to your maximum.
- You can ignore up to one level of exhaustion, treating the current level of exhaustion you have as if it were one level lower. Thus, you can accumulate up to seven levels of exhaustion before you die outright.
Removing a Pin. You are attuned to a pin as long as it is embedded in your body. To remove a pin, you or another creature can use an action to make a Strength ability check to rip the pin out, with the DC being your current Constitution score. On a success, you take 1d4 necrotic damage and your attunement to the pin is broken. Magic such as regenerate will cause all pins to eject from your body if you are willing.
Multiple Pins. You can have inserted and benefit from more than one thousand-men pin at a time. Each pin beyond the first is considered as taking up the same attunement slot, and the benefits granted to you increase based on how many pins you have inserted according to the table below. Additionally, each individual pin increases the amount you can push, carry, drag, or lift by 5 pounds.
