SIGNATURE ITEMS
Gem of Paralysis (requires attunement): Gem has 3 charges. When activated, the gem generates an emanation within 30 ft. radius of its bearer. Those within the radius must make CON save DC15 or be paralyzed for 1 minute. Targets can repeat the save at the end of their turns, ending the effect on themself with a success. It regains D3 charges at dawn.
Ring of Free Action (requires attunement): Difficult Terrain doesn't cost him extra movement. In addition, magic can neither reduce his Speed, nor cause him to have the paralyzed or restrained conditions.

DESCRIPTION/DESIGN NOTES
This is one of those cases where character is revealed by the magic items they own. Garm is the traditional thief, for the most part, with sheer greed and opportunism as his primary motivations. Using his ring of free action, he pried the gem of paralysis from a stationary trap in a dungeon and made the combo his signature move. His usual modus operandi when thieving is to activate the gem and then grab whatever he can in the time remaining,
