Cursed ring of unwavering eye-contact

>Cursed ring of unwavering eye-contact

How bad would this be?

Just need a cursed bracelet of strong handshake and I'll conquer all job interviews.

Not bad at all

>>be me at a concert
>>the electric violinist plays this amazing set solo
>>i literally start crying because he's putting so much passion and energy into it, everyone else is just sort of jamming out
>>he's alone on stage until the front man comes out and stops him to do start a song with more "pop"
>>i realize that there's some inter-band tension between these two
>>meet his eyes from the audience, give him an unwavering stare, he realizes i understand as everyone else in the crowd is cheering for the frontman
>>share an intense moment of human connection for that one moment through the power of unwavering eye contact
>>avoids eye contact with me for the rest of the show

it's about 50/50 desu it has a bonus that gives me +5 on sense motive which is ok

It's just this, all the time

Well if taken to an extreme it could stop you from blinking which would suck ass.

Got the one where he's hiding in the ball pit and Bart pokes his finger into his eye?

>anti-spaghetti ring
>curse

>User and target stop blinking
>User brought eye drops, target didn't
>Target's eyes suffer damage after several hours of being unable to blink
>stare at target for days and weeks and months while consuming Doritos and Mountain Dew
>Walk away after 1 year, target is blind and has lost one whole year of his life

>grip new boss's hand
>Crushes it

There could be some basilisks in the next room.

Or your parents having sex.

>You can't take the ring off
>As you walk through the dark wood, your body suddenly shifts back, focusing your eyes on a nondescript direction, as you attempt to continue your journey
>Shenanigans
I feel like there's a good idea in there somewhere for some horror.

If this was in an Asian setting, it could be devastating, since quite a few Asian cultures find eye contact offensive

W-with a basilisk?

Uchiha/10

he just thought you wanted gay sex

The anti-succubus ring of "I have a headache" can be very useful

Well, it isn't NOT with a basilisk. Why? How would it affect your reaction user?

>How would it affect your reaction user?
Well the scene would make me rock-hard for one

mildly annoying at worst, you could play it off with enough charisma

>the eye always points in the direction of the most relevant threat

>>the eye always points in the direction of the most relevant thread
This would work so much better.

Are we talking absolute, relative, physical, or conceptual?

Spiritual.

...

Just give it some visine, a cup of coffee, and a good nap and it'll be fine.

...

Bad enough you need hobbits to get rid of it

>Massive Disappointment/10
The first time you see him it's neat. Every other time is boring and obnoxious because fuck adp.

We're currently visiting a Medusa.
It would be problematic.

>Immobilize opponent
>force ring on them
>lock eyes as you walk around them
>Force them to break their own neck

In some versions of the myth Medusa's head stayed alive after being cut off and Perseus would talk with her. He eventually learned that he could look at her by looking directly into her eyes and not seeing the snakes.

So it could actually help you out.

This is now an Eye Ring thread.
