Magic Items

Below are some homewbrew magic items I've come up with. Most of these are untested, and thus are subject to adjustment should they prove too powerful or not powerful enough. They're ordered primarily by rarity, going from legendary down to common, and in some cases by type (since there are so many weapons).

If you're picking one of these items as starting equipment for a new character, come up with a story for how your character came to possess it.

Legendary Items (Legendary)

The following are legendary magical items of all varieties.

Wyrmform Scale Mail

Armour (scale), legendary (requires attunement)

Wyrmform scale mail is to dragon scale mail as dragon scale mail is to mundane scale mail. Imbued with the spirit of a dragon, this suit of armour can bestow upon its wearer the might and ferocity of the world's most legendary and powerful predator.

While wearing this armour, you gain a +2 bonus to AC, you have advantage on saving throws against the Frightful Presence and breath weapons of dragons, and you have resistance to one damage type that is determined by the kind of dragon that provided the scales (see the table).

Additionally, you can use a bonus action to undergo a transformation, causing horns to grow from your forehead, your nails to lengthen into claws, and dragon wings to sprout from your back (the armour adapts around them). This transformation lasts for 10 minutes. While transformed in such a way, your unarmed strikes deal slashing damage equal to 1d8 + your Strength modifier, you gain a flying speed of 40 feet, and you can use your action to make a breath weapon attack that deals damage equal to 6d6 + your level (DC 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus). The damage types is the same as what the armour gives you resistance to (see the table). Once you use this breath weapon, you can't use it again until you next transform. You can only transform in this way once per long rest.

Lastly, you can focus your senses as an action to magically discern the distance and direction to the closest dragon within 30 miles of you that is of the same type as the armour. This special action can't be used again until the next dawn.

Surtur's Helm

Wondrous item, legendary (requires attunement)

This horned iron helmet is constantly hot to the touch. While wearing it, you gain +1 bonus to your AC, you have immunity to fire damage, your weapon attacks deal 1d10 additional fire damage, and when you cast a spell that deals fire damage, you can add your spellcasting ability modifier to the damage roll.

As an action, you can undergo a terrible transformation, becoming a demonic creature of fire and lava. Any equipment you are wearing or carrying transforms with you. While transformed, you gain the following benefits:

  • Your size becomes Large.
  • Your Strength score becomes 24 (+7).
  • You gain 100 temporary hit points.
  • Any creature that ends its turn within 5 feet of you or hits you with a melee attack takes 2d8 fire damage.
  • A giant, molten maul forms in your hand. This maul deals bludgeoning damage equal to 3d6 + your Strength modifier, as well as an extra 2d6 fire damage.
  • You can cast fireball as an action.

This transformation lasts for 1 hour or until your temporary hit points are reduced to 0. Once this transformation ends, Surtur's helm becomes nonmagical until you finish a long rest.

Weapons (Very Rare)

The following are very rare magical weapons.

Flint and Steel

Weapon (sabres), very rare (requires attunement)

The steel half of this pair is sleek and elegant, beautifully crafted and etched with silver, while its flint counterpart is rough-hewn and primitive, its blade jagged like unworked stone. These weapons must be attuned simultaneously, and require only one attunement slot.

While wielding both of these swords, you can use a bonus action to strike the blades together and conjure an inferno of fire in a 15-foot cone centred on you. Each creature caught in the area must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC 8 + your proficiency bonus + your weapon attack modifier). On a failure, a creature takes 4d8 fire damage and is blinded for one minute. On a success, a creature takes half damage and isn't blinded. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success. You can use this feature twice per long rest.

When you take fire damage while wielding the steel sword, you can use your reaction to immediately gain resistance to the triggering damage. Afterwards, the first weapon attack you make with the flint sword deals bonus fire damage equal to the amount reduced. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Additionally, you can touch the flint sword to a non-magical object that isn't being worn or carried and cause it to catch on fire. Conversely, you can touch the steel sword to a non-magical flame to expunge it.

Rockethammer

Weapon (maul), very rare (requires attunement)

This immense metal maul is incredibly heavy and requires a minimum Strength score of 15 to wield without disadvantage. The head of the maul is affixed with three cylinders that belch fire and add power to your strikes. You deal an additional 1d6 bludgeoning damage when you hit with this maul.

Once per long rest, you can use your action to grip the haft firmly and drop into a crouch, activating the hammer's thrusters. You charge across the ground for 60 feet. If you collide with a creature of size Large or smaller, the creature must succeed on a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw or become pinned, moving with you. A Huge or larger creature that you hit takes 4d8 bludgeoning damage and brings you to a halt. A creature that succeeds on this saving throw (or any subsequent creature whose space you enter once you pin a creature) avoids the charge. If you hit a sturdy object (such as a wall, boulder, or a Large or larger creature) you come to a stop, and if you have a creature pinned, the creature takes 6d8 bludgeoning damage and must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or become stunned until the end of its next turn.

As an action, you can bring this maul crashing down on the ground. Each creature touching the ground in a 20-foot cone must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or become stunned until the end of your next turn. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

 

Okuss

Weapon (sabre), very rare (requires attunement)

On both sides of this silver, single-edged blade are elvish runes spelling 'Okuss.' A narrow seam runs down the blunt edge, from the tip of the blade to the base of the pommel.

When you draw this sword or make a melee attack with it, you can grip the hilt in two hands and cause the sword to split down the middle into two identical swords, one in each hand. These swords have the 'thrown' property with a range of 30/120 ft. After you make a ranged weapon attack with one of these swords, the thrown sword disappears and the one you are holding can once again be split into two. Pressing the swords together causes them to merge back into one.

Once per day when you split Okuss, you can cause each of the split swords to split again. You grow two ethereal arms to wield these extra swords. When you next take the Attack action, you can make two additional weapon attacks as part of this action, after which the extra swords and extra arms disappear. If all four attacks hit, the fourth attack becomes a critical hit.

Stalactite

Weapon, very rare (requires attunement)

At first glance, this item appears to be nought more than a thick quarterstaff of white wood banded with iron. Upon closer inspection, one can note a layer of frost covering its surface, making it cold to the touch.

As a bonus action, you can slam the end of this quarterstaff into the ground and cause winged blades of ice to unfold from the top, turning the quarterstaff into a greataxe that deals additional cold damage equal to your proficiency bonus. When you do this, you can also cause a cold blast of air to rush outwards from the point of impact, extinguishing non-magical flames within 30 feet of you. You can use your bonus action to cause the winged blades to melt away, returning the greataxe to its quarterstaff form.

While wielding this greataxe, you can cast the ice knife spell at will, using Strength as your spellcasting ability.

Spiritbow

Weapon (any bow), very rare (requires attunement)

The string of this metal-and-glass bow is so thin as to be almost invisible. Thrumming it fills your ears with an intense humming sound, while drawing it forms an ethereal arrow which, when loosed, ignores half and three-quarters cover and deals force damage instead of piercing.

As a bonus action, you can whisper, "Reveal yourselves, enemies of mine." For 1 minute, arrows you loose from this bow pass harmlessly through objects, ignore cover, and deal bonus force damage equal to your proficiency bonus. In addition, you can see into and through solid matter to a range of 60 feet. To you, solid objects within that radius appear transparent and don't prevent light from passing through them. The vision can penetrate 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, or up to 3 feet of wood or dirt. Thicker substances block the vision, as does a thin sheet of lead.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Crimson Night

Weapon (dagger), very rare (requires attunement)

This double-edged dagger is divided down the middle, the blade half obsidian and half red steel, the handle wrapped in black and red leather, and the pommel adorned with a smooth onyx and a jagged ruby.

When you make an attack with this dagger, you can choose to strike with the obsidian edge or the red steel edge. The obsidian edge deals an extra 1d4 necrotic damage while the red steel edge deals an extra 1d4 fire damage. After you make a ranged attack roll with this dagger, you can cause it to immediately disappear in a puff of red smoke, reappearing in your hand in a puff of black.

As an action, you can cut your palm with this dagger, taking 1 point of slashing damage. Using the red steel edge transforms you into a hell hound, while using the obsidian edge transforms you into a shadow mastiff. The transformation otherwise functions as the polymorph spell, but you can use a bonus action to revert to your normal form. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Shutterbow

Weapon (any bow), very rare (requires attunement)

The black-wood limbs of this bow are constantly flickering, blinking in and out of existence, though the string remains fixed as if nought were amiss. Drawing the bow causes it to become solid.

This bow has 6 charges. When you make a ranged attack roll with this bow, you can expend a charge immediately after the arrow hits to teleport to its location, arriving in the nearest unoccupied space. If you hit a creature, you can expend an additional charge to force the creature to make a Charisma saving throw (DC 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Dexterity modifier). On a failure, the target takes an extra 2d8 force damage and the two of you swap places. On a success, the target isn't teleported and takes no additional damage, but you can still choose to teleport to the closest unoccupied space to it.

If you expend this bow's last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the bow vanishes. The bow regains 1d3 + 3 expended charges daily at dawn.

Ballistabow

This crossbow has 3 charges. When you make a ranged attack roll with this crossbow, you can expend a charge to cause the bolt to enlarge to the size of a ballista bolt. The attack deals an additional 3d10 piercing damage and the target must make on a Strength saving throw (DC 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Dexterity modifier). On a failure, the creature is knocked 15 feet back. If this movement causes the creature to collide with another creature, that creature takes 2d10 damage and must succeed on the same saving throw or be pushed 10 feet back. If a third creature is hit, it takes 1d10 damage and the distance (if it fails the saving throw) is reduced by another to 5 feet.

The crossbow regains all expended charges daily at dawn.

Elemental Gauntlet

Wondrous item, very rare (requires attunement)

This gauntlet is mostly just studded leather, save for a diamond-shaped piece of iron plating on the back of the hand, which extends to just over the knuckles. Set into the metal are four concavities large enough to fit a gemstone.

This frosted circlet of black iron is topped with gothic, razor-sharp spires that emit coiling vapours of cold. While wearing this crown, you have resistance to fire damage.

The crown has 3 charges. As a bonus action, you can expend 1 charge and inspire a creature within 60 feet of you that can see or hear you. Once before the end of your next turn, the inspired creature can roll a d6 and add the number rolled to one ability check, attack roll, or saving throw it makes. The crown regains 1d3 expended charges daily at dawn.

Cloak of Escaping

Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement)

When you are hit by an attack while wearing this grey, silver-threaded cloak, you can use your reaction to teleport to an unoccupied space you can see up to 30 feet away, causing the attack to miss. If you teleport to a space within 5 feet of a hostile creature, you can make one free attack against that creature with advantage.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Extradimensional Ring

Ring, rare (requires attunement)

Set into this ring is a cuboidal gemstone that seems to contain an infinite number of mirrors, always reflecting deeper and deeper. While wearing this ring, you can use a bonus action to touch it to an object that weighs no more than 100 pounds and isn't being worn or carried. The object is immediately transported into an extradimensional space within the ring. You can have up to 500 pounds or 15 objects stored at any one time. Retrieving an item from the ring requires a bonus action, and causes the item to appear in your hand.

Placing an extradimensional ring inside an extradimensional space created by a Heward's handy haversack, portable hole, or similar item instantly destroys both items and opens a gate to the Astral Plane. The gate originates where the one item was placed inside the other. Any creature within 10 feet of the gate is sucked through it to a random location on the Astral Plane. The gate then closes. The gate is one-way only and can't be reopened.

Misceallaneous Items (Uncommon)

The following are uncommon magical items of many varieties, including wondrous items and rings.

Mistcloak

Wondrous item, uncommon (requires attunement)

This dark cloak is shredded, the ends trailing in long strips. These strips come alive to aid you when you perform feats of acrobatics or agility.

While wearing this cloak, you have advantage on Dexterity (Acrobatics) checks and you can use your Dexterity score to calculate your long and high jump distances. In addition, you require only 5 feet of movement to stand up from prone and once per long rest, you can use your reaction to gain advantage on a Dexterity saving throw.

 

Stepping Boots

Wondrous item, uncommon (requires attunement)

While you wear these boots, you can use a bonus action to stomp them on the ground, activating them for one minute. During this time, you can cause small, silvery discs to form wherever you step, allowing you to walk on air. Moving steeply upwards costs double movement. Moving directly upwards imposes a similar penalty, and requires that you succeed on a DC 10 Athletics check or fall prone. You can drop 10 feet at a time using these discs, allowing you to easily and safely navigate steep drops.

The discs last only an instant, so if you end your turn in mid-air, you fall to the ground. After you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Luminator

Wondrous item, uncommon

This device is shaped like the handle of a knife or whip, with a cap on the top. Flicking the cap open reveals two switches, one black iron, the other burnished steel. You can use a bonus action to flick either of the switches.

When you flick the iron switch, you can choose up to 6 light sources within range (a street lamp, candle, campfire, etc.) to snuff out, their lights flying to the luminator and disappearing inside of it. The luminator can hold up to 20 such lights.

When you flick the steel switch, you can cause up to 6 trapped lights to fly out to any potential light sources (a dark street lamp, unlit candle, cold campfire, etc.) within 60 feet, immediately lighting these sources and causing them to emit their typical amount of light.

If you have 20 light sources stored, you can flick the steel switch and cause all the stored light to explode in a great radiant flash. Each creature within 30 feet of you must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be blinded until the end of your next turn.

Razor Cape

Wondrous item, uncommon

The hem of this rich cape is lined with a fluid, razor-sharp length of metal. While wearing this cape, you can use your bonus action to cause it to whirl around you. Each creature within 5 feet of you must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or take slashing damage equal to your level. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

The King's Soles

Wondrous item, uncommon

Unarmed strikes (kicks) you make with these magical sandals deal bludgeoning damage equal to 1d4 + your Strength modifier.

The king's soles have 3 charges. When you make an unarmed attack with them, you can expend a charge and state the name of the nation in which you are currently located (if you're not in a nation, you can instead state the general area, such as, "This is a cave!"). On a hit, the target must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or take an additional 2d4 thunder damage and be knocked 10 feet away, landing prone. A creature that succeeds on the saving throw takes the extra damage but isn't moved.

Ring of Inverting

Ring, uncommon

This silver ring is set with a tiny, spinnable dial, one side silver, the other gold. You can use your action to spin the dial and cause your highest and lowest ability scores to swap. If two or more abilities are tied for lowest/highest, the swapped abilities are chosen at random. This inversion lasts 1 minute, after which the dial stops spinning. The ring can't be used in this way again until you finish a long rest.

Adrenaline Collar

Wondrous item, uncommon (requires attunement)

The inside of this brass collar is lined with needles containing a combination of healing elixirs. When you make a death saving throw while wearing this collar, you immediately regain hit points equal to 2d8 + your level.

After being used in this way, the collar becomes inert until the needles are refilled with 250 gp worth of healing potions, which can be done during a long rest.

Common Items (Common)

The following are common magic items.

Cloak of Tavern Corners

Wondrous item, common

Pulling up the hood of this black cloak causes your features to become heavily obscured to other creatures.

Ring of Displacement

Wondrous item, common

While wearing this ring, you can use your bonus action to cause it to teleport from finger to finger, into one of your pockets, or onto the ground.

Mouthpiece Weapon

Weapon (any), common

When you finish a long rest, you can choose a phrase that's up to 5 words long. If you repeat this phrase 5 times while holding this weapon, the weapon learns the phrase. Thereafter, when you reduce a creature to 0 hitpoints you can choose to have the weapon speak the phrase out loud, at the same volume and with the same inflection as when you originally spoke it.

Circlet of Ideas

Wondrous item, common

Once per day when you come up with an idea, a tiny beacon of light appears above your head. The beacon sheds bright light for 5 feet and dim light for an additional 5 feet, and is extinguished after 1 round.

Picking Dagger

Wondrous item, common

You can use this dagger to cast prestidigitation at will, requiring no components, but the spell can only be used to clean bloodstains or your fingernails.

Perfidiously Packed Purse

Wondrous item, common

No matter how full or empty this purse is, it always appears to be bulging with coin. The purse loses this property if it is cut, sliced, or otherwise pierced.

Paired Rings

Wondrous item, common

While two different creatures are wearing these rings, each can feel if the other taps their ring, as if someone were tapping their own finger.

Party Crossbow

Weapon (hand crossbow), uncommon

Pulling the trigger on this hand crossbow casts prestidigitation without requiring verbal or somantic components, but you can only choose the harmless sensory effect option.

Snap Rod

Wondrous item, common

This short, thin metal rod appears to be completely solid, but when you strike it to your wrist, it snaps into the shape of a bracelet. Removing the bracelet causes it to return to the shape of a rod. If you use the rod in this way on an unconscious creature, the rod forms into manacles (DC 20 Strength check to break, can't be picked with thieves' tools) that only you can remove. If the rod is broken while in this form, it falls to pieces and becomes nonmagical.

Homing Cnary

Wondrous item, common

This tiny porcelain canary can come alive to chase down its teacup nest. If you are holding the teacup and are on the same plane of existence as the canary, you can use an action to cause the canary to animate and set off flying toward the teacup. You choose the speed at which the canary flies, ranging from 1 to 30 mph.
