Belknapp strode confidently, almost arrogantly into the courtroom. "Honorable Magistrate Hornbrow, Polliver Binbottom is innocent of the charges against him." Belknapp had polished his magic shoes to a mirror shine before entering the room and now he had the judge's undivided attention. He rolled off a litany of alibis and reasons that his client could not have been the one that stole the missing heirloom, each one more absurd and profoundly preposterous than the last. "It is prudent that you declare him not guilty and release him forthwith." Over the loud objections from the flummoxed prosecutor, Judge Hornbrow set Polliver free. "Nice shoes!" the magistrate remarked with a broad smile as he gaveled the trial to a close.
Later, in private the two split the take from fencing the valuable brooch. "Best investment we ever made," said Polliver, buffing a blemish from the toe of one shoe.
Magic Item: Shoes of Swagger
OSR version:
After polishing the shoes they can be used once a day to influence a reaction roll. The result will be two places further in the wearer's favor.
Once a week the shoes can cast Charm Person giving the target creature -5 to their saving throw.
5e version:
The shoes have 3 charges. The shoes regain 1 charge each day at midnight. If all charges are used, roll a d20. On a 1 the shoes crumble into tattered leather and lose all magical power.
Persuasion rolls gain advantage. 1 charge required.
Charm Person, target saves at disadvantage. 2 charges required. Useable once per week.
Rarity: Rare. Character Level: 5 and above. Cost: 501 - 5,000 gold pieces.
