Kingdom Of Loathing has a pebble that you can get from a martial arts master enemy as an item. If you equip it, it increases your combat initiative (if I recall) - but if you lose initiative, the enemy snatches the pebble from your hand, and you lose the item entirely.
Just wondering if this belongs on this page, even as a note to the title rather than merely the concept of this trope.
Only the curious have, if they live, a tale worth telling at all.
