Brooch of Number Numbing (Magic Brooch)

These silver or golden brooches (15% are set with jewels) are used to fasten cloaks and capes. They magically cloud the minds of those who converse with the wearers of these brooches, but confusion applies only to numbers.
The brooch must be in plain sight to have any effect Anyone conversing with someone wearing the brooch is allowed a saving throw vs. spell to avoid the effects.
If the saving throw fails, the victim falls under the brooch's special enchantment. The victim forgets the relative value of numbers and cannot remember if five is greater than three or if tens are smaller than hundreds. Furthermore, the victim does not recognize his or her inability to remember the values of numbers. While under the influence of the brooch, the victim thinks that all numbers are pretty much the same. He or she accepts any claim pertaining to numbers and accepts almost any financial deal.
The victim remembers the relative values of coins (that gold pieces are worth more than silver pieces), but not their exact conversions. Thus, the victim is unable to remember whether 2 sp or 100 sp are equal to 1 gp.
The enchantment lasts only as long as the wearer is present and for 2d6 rounds after that. Once the effect wears off, the victim regains a normal understanding of numbers. Furthermore, he or she remembers exactly what was said and done while under the influence of the brooch, although, perhaps, not the cause.
