They could be single use or work a number of times before vanishing. The actual nature of the charm could come in many forms. A unique curse from a hag, a boon from a Naga for helping them in defending something or someone, or even from a dragon for brave heroics.\u003Cbr>Award players charms as a non-permanent magical item. They are affected by anti-magic fields and other such effects, however, they cannot be affected by spells such as Counterspell, Dispel Magic, or any other magic short of a Wish spell.\u003Cbr>As the DM, feel free to alter how long charms last. If you have an active ability, such as replicating a spell, limit it to a number of uses-typically 1-3. For less practical spells you could add additional uses, or for passive ability have the charm last for hours, days, or weeks. The charms presented here usually last 3 days or 10 days.\u003Cbr>Memorable Foes |\n| --- |\n| While these rewards are intended for the players, if they oppose particularly powerful followers dedicated to a deity, consider granting such villains the blessing of their god.
