235P - Meister Farbürste
Wondrous (Paintbrush, Cursed) – Rare (2350 gp, requires attunement)
This beige paintbrush has a barrel shaped head with a brown stripe around it, and paint spatter all over it. The tip of the handle is flared out like a top.
As an action, you can speak a command word and oil paint will begin to seep out of the bristles. The color and hue are determined by your emotions, so emotional control and concentration are required to get the colors you want.
The brush has 6 charges that refresh at dawn, which you can use to do the following actions:
Paintmark: As an action, you expend a charge and touch a creature or weapon with the brush, leaving a mark of paint. While a creature has this mark, they are resistant or vulnerable to a damage type of your choice. If the target was resistant and made vulnerable or vice versa, they cancel each other out and the target takes normal damage. When a weapon has the mark, it does an additional 1d6 damage type of your choice. The mark lasts for 1 hour or until dispelled by Dispel Magic, anti-magic zones, or similar effects.
Recolor: As an action, you expend a charge and you touch the brush to an object and change the object’s colors to different colors of your choice, which lasts indefinitely.
Cursed. This paintbrush is cursed. While cursed, you have a desire to paint. When you take a long rest, if you didn’t spend at least 1 hour painting, you must make a DC 13 Constitution save. On a failure, you gain a level of exhaustion, while on a success the DC increases by 1. Levels of exhaustion suffered this way do not disappear until you are able to spend an hour painting, which will also reset the DC to 13. You can also decrease the DC by 3 (to a minimum of 0) by spending a day of downtime painting.
Additionally, whenever you see a painting you haven’t seen before, you must make a DC 13 Wisdom save or try to move closer to the painting, even if there is no clear safe route to do so, and spend your actions admiring the painting. You can attempt the save again at the end of your turn.

When you use the brush for the first time, it fuses to you. While it’s in your possession, you have a desire to paint. If you went an entire day without spending at least 1 hour painting, you must make a DC 27 Fortitude save. On a failure you gain a rank of fatigue, while on a success the DC increases by 1. Fatigue suffered this way does not disappear until you spend an hour painting, and the DC will also reset to 27. You can also decrease the DC by 4 (to a minimum of 0) by spending a day of downtime paintings.
Additionally, whenever you see a painting you haven’t seen before, you must make a DC 27 Wisdom save or become fascinated by the painting, and while fascinated will try to move closer to the painting, even if there is no clear safe route to do so.
