DESCRIPTION

This strange object resembles a large fruit covered by dragon-like scales. Each scale can be taken off, and a fully covered fruit holds 16 scales. Under the scales is inedible, tough, sour flesh.

Each scale is one of four colors: green, red, blue, and gold. The fruit regrows 2 scales at midnight each day, randomly rolled from the following table. There can only be one white scale on the fruit.

Result	Color
0-29	Green
30-59	Red
60-89	Blue
90-94	Gold
95-99	White1

¹If there are two white scales from this fruit in existence, a gold scale is regrown instead.

Roll Table

Each scale holds a random effect based on the color of the scale, but the exact effect is unkown to the user. A scale can be plucked from the fruit and attached to a part of the body as a move action. Once attached, the user can cast the spell contained in the scale, ignoring material or divine focus casting components, without requiring a use magic device check. After casting a spell in this way, the scale fades away.

Scales removed from the fruit disappear at midnight when the fruit regrows. If attached to the person possessing the fruit at midnight, a number of scales are able to remain, up to the holder's HD. If there are more scales than the holder's HD, the holder can choose which scales disappear and which stay.

Expending one use of mythic power across the day, the holder of the fruit can retain a number of scales up to twice their HD instead of up to their their HD.

Others bonded can expend one use of mythic power across the day to retain a number of scales up to half their HD instead of none.

Each scale attached to a person makes their skin or hide slightly tougher. For every 4 scales attached, a person gains a +1 enhancement bonus to the creature's existing natural armor bonus. A creature without natural armor has an effective natural armor bonus of +0.

The white scale can be used in one of three ways:

Guidance of Luck: The user can ask one question to the gods and recieve an answer. Depending on the complexity or the nature of the god, the answer may be range from clear and straightforward to mysterious and vague. The answer is however, always truthful and answers the question asked.

Revelation of Luck: The user can immediately know the effects of the green, red, blue, and yellow scales currently on the fruit. Roll the appropriate table and record the result for each scale.

Saved Luck: The user can roll a d20 and record the result. At any time, the user may then choose to replace any d20 roll with that result. This can only be done once and further uses of this effect replaces the existing roll result.

When a green, red, blue, or gold scale used, the effect is rolled from the following tables depending on the color. For green and red scales, the target of the spell must be chosen before rolling.
