Camellia's Bone Amulet, as an actual item

[Null Winter]

The amulet slot is pretty valuable; a lot of nice enchantments are unique to that slot. Camellia spends almost the entire game gimped because her pointless plot coupon amulet actually takes up that slot, instead of being something mentioned in conversation as being important but not taking up real space. You know, like the divine sword you get early on and wave around only in certain scenes? Or various other trinkets acquired throughout the adventure?

Open the slot up, devs. I already dislike using her due to her awkward stat spread and utter lack of surprise at her "twists". A permanently locked equipment slot with no benefit is the final nail in that coffin.

Spoiler warning?

I get why on your first playthru it has to be there. What she tells you is a lie, there is no spirit inside it. But it is concealing her true alignment. Although one wonders whether that's really necessary if the MC is evil himself.

One that coffee has been spilled, I don't get why on subsequent playthrus, they don't code a dialogue option along the lines of "we know the jig, Cam" and she just takes it off. I'm really surprised there isn't already a mod to make it removable. I agree with you the game has some nice amulets for shamans, too bad she can't wear them till Act 5.

if you melee with her just cast bark skin and if you range with her just autocast evil eye and it doesn't matter anymore what gear she wears

i mean ya honestly sucks to be gear locked but there are workarounds

You can use spoiler tags, not that there's anything to spoil; her personal quest is so shallow and vapid that anyone can figure it out after a minute of listening to her talk.

Well, I thought she was hearing voices in her head ordering her to kill/ appease Myrea. Once I did the game, I searched it up and... she turned to be unhinged but in a very different way. She is the only companion in the whole Pathfinder franchise whose quest I did not complete. Even Jaethal's quests were fine. I even remember I started missing her fter she died on my first run...

As for the actual importance of the amulet spell slot, it is not such a great deal IMHO.

In BG2 where the devs gave Edwin an unremovable amulet, they sneakily made it the best-in-slot item for wizards in general. In-game there's just a fluff description but if you go into the game files and see what the amulet actually does, it gives the wizard wearing it +2 spell slots on all levels! Making Edwin the best wizard you can possibly have in the game, including the MC. His opposition school (I want to say Divination but not sure?) is easily the most forgettable one anyway.

Just saying that if the amulet was doing something useful, it's existence would be less annoying.

Technically speaking, the amulet does its listed job of making someone's alignment Undetectable in the UI, since it will change the visible alignment if you cheat it on to someone else or loot it off her corpse as part of her optional plot death. As far as I am aware, though, this has no actual gameplay effect; even the Trickster path seems to lack the ability to use her amulet to pull some grand-scale gambit by always hiding their soul's intent from celestials and other high-tier alignment readers.

If it was listed as doing something else (Bonus spell slots or innate Spell Resistance?) and the alignment hiding was mentioned as "an unfortunate side effect", then she'd at least have been maybe 5% less suspicious to any new player not savvy with tabletop rules and tropes.

in pnp that amulet could be a fun gimmick
