The Gods' Tools by u/Durins_Cat

# The Gods' Tools - A Magic Item Compendium
## Foreword: Introduction and Balance

###

###### Everything made within this compendium has been made with the ideas that they will be used as Artifacts within a DM's world. As such, the DM should only put them within the players' reach if they want the group to be able to get them.

###### Most of these items are also made with the mind that the players will be able to gather either parts of the set, or the whole set. Why else would I make them give cool benefits when you get all three? By themselves, each item was made to be cool and unique, but not overly powerful (hopefully).

###### Also, each of the sets are intended to allow the owner to emulate the power of the god it represents from Norse mythology. Take note that the actual god, if they exist in your campaign, might already have some of the named items. In that case, just change the name of the item, and always assume that the god either has a more powerful version of the item, or has abilities that make them better.

## Foreword: Secrets, Myth, and Sacrifice

###
A couple items in here give certain bonuses for missing body parts. An Eye or a hand. The DM has final judge on whether or not a player is able to gain those benefits. I strongly encourage the DM to take it as RAI and not RAW ("Read as intended" and "Read as written", respectively). It wouldn't be in the intended spirit to have players removing their hand for a mechanical bonus, rather than because the story needed it.

I give some guidelines on this for each item that has it.

Now, the Identify spell. It can cause some problems if you let it tell the players that a certain item will gain specific abilities if they get the whole set. Rather I would just tell them that the certain aspect of the item gets better. These *are* artifacts, and shouldn't, in my opinion, be an open book to a 1st level spell.

## Foreword: Letters
###
###### I use some letters that aren't in the English alphabet in this compendium. I'll list some and rough pronunciations as a guideline.
* Þ --- This is the lowercase "Thorn" letter, examples are: The "Th" in "Thor" or "This".
* ð --- This is the lowercase "Eth" letter, examples are: The "Th" in That.
* ó --- The "o" in "rode" vs "wrote"
* ǫ --- Say "Aw", but round your lips.
* á --- Long version of ǫ

If you want to hear these letters I *strongly* recommend *Dr. Jackson Crawford*. He's made a video on this very topic of Old Norse pronunciation.

Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_zjXZwD42Q&t

If you don't trust that link, the video is called "Pronunciation of Old Norse (Medieval / Reconstructed)"

# þórr's Trinity
The Hammer of Thunderbolts is designed to work with two magic items. To unlock the Hammer's full potential you'll need to be attuned to "****Járngreipr The Gauntlets of Thunder****" and "****Megingjörð the Belt of Lightning****". Like-wise, to unlock the full potential of **Járngreipr** and **Megingjörð**, you must also be attuned to the remaining two items.

###### If you attune to all three items, Járngreipr and Megingjörð use only 1 attunement slot. In other words, 2 attunement slots will be used instead of 3.

### Hammer of Thunderbolts Revised (Maul) (Artifact)
To attune to the Hammer of Thunderbolts, you must be wearing either a pair of "**Gauntlets of Ogre Power**" --or-- "****Járngreipr The Gauntlets of Thunder****", --and-- either a "**Belt of Giant Strength**" (Any variety) --or-- "****Megingjörð the Belt of Lightning****".
##### Unattuned:
* The Hammer of Thunderbolts is a +1 weapon.

##### Attuned:
* Your Strength score goes up by 4, and can exceed 20, but not 30.
* When you roll a 20 on an Attack roll made with this weapon against a giant, the giant must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or die.
* The Hammer also has 5 Charges. While attuned to it, you can expend 1 charge and make a ranged weapon Attack with the Hammer, hurling it as if it had the Thrown property with a normal range of 20 feet and a long range of 60 feet. If the Attack hits, the Hammer unleashes a thunderclap audible out to 300 feet. The target and every creature within 30 feet of it must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or be Stunned until the end of your next turn. The Hammer regains 1d4 + 1 expended Charges daily at dawn.

##### Attuned with Járngreipr / Gauntlets of Ogre Power --or-- Megingjörð / Belt of Giant Strength.
* The **Hammer of Thunderbolts** becomes a +2 Weapon.
* Your Strength maximum becomes 32, instead of 30.
* The **Hammer of Thunderbolts** becomes a thrown weapon, with a range of **60ft/120ft**.
* You can call the **Hammer of Thunderbolts** to your hand. (No action required) The **Hammer of Thunderbolts** flies at speed of **60ft** per turn to your hand. If you throw the Hammer of Thunderbolts and elect to call back immediately after it hits or misses your target, the Hammer immediately returns to your hand.

* The thrown range of the **Hammer of Thunderbolts** becomes **80ft/140ft**.
* The rate at which the **Hammer of Thunderbolts** flies to your hand becomes **120ft** per turn, instead of **60ft**.
* The **Hammer of Thunderbolts** can now dig through all natural materials when called to your hand. This digging can only happen when the hammer is called to you.
* You may use the following properties, each of which is described at the end of this item; each may be used once per day: **Lightning Strike**, **Thunderclap**, **Thunder and Lightning**, and **Storm Bringer**

##### Properties
* **Lightning Stike**: You can use an action to cause a bolt of lightning to leap from the **Hammer of Thunderbolt’s** head in a line that if 5ft wide and 120ft long. Each creature in that line must make a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw, taking 9d6 lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one.
* **Thunderclap**: You can use an action to cause the **Hammer of Thunderbolts** to issue forth a deafening thunderclap, audible out to 600ft. Each creature within 60ft of you (not including you) must make a DC 17 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 2d6 Thunder damage and becomes deafened for 1 minute. On a successful save, a creature takes half damage and isn’t deafened.
* **Thunder and Lightning**: You can use an action to use the **Lightning Strike** and **Thunderclap** Properties at the same time. Doing so doesn’t expend the daily use of those properties, only the use of this one. 
* **Storm Bringer**: You can cast **Control Weather** without concentration. You can only go up in steps, not down. You use this ability 3 times a day.

### The Charms
The Charms are ancient songs known by Oðinn, they allow him mastery over certain parts of life. They are technically available to many different being at once since they are technically just knowledge. Oðinn gained this knowledge by sacrificing himself to "the runes". 
#### The Songs
###### 1: The first is called help, | and help it can bring thee | In sorrow and pain and sickness.
###### 2: A second I know, | that men shall need | Who leechcraft long to use.
###### 3: A third I know, | if great is my need | Of fetters to hold my foe; Blunt do I make | mine enemy's blade, Nor bites his sword or staff.
###### 4: A fourth I know, | if men shall fasten | Bonds on my bended legs; So great is the charm | that forth I may go, The fetters spring from my feet, Broken the bonds from my hands.
###### 5: A fifth I know, | if I see from afar | An arrow fly 'gainst the folk; It flies not so swift | that I stop it not, If ever my eyes behold it.
###### 6: A sixth I know, | if harm one seeks | With a sapling's roots to send me; The hero himself | who wreaks his hate | Shall taste the ill ere I.
###### 7: A seventh I know, | if I see in flames | The hall o'er my comrades' heads; It burns not so wide | that I will not quench it, I know that song to sing.
###### 8: An eighth I know, | that is to all | Of greatest good to learn; When hatred grows | among heroes' sons, I soon can set it right.
###### 9: A ninth I know, | if need there comes | To shelter my ship on the flood; The wind I calm | upon the waves, And the sea I put to sleep.
###### 10: A tenth I know, | what time I see | House-riders flying on high; So can I work | that wildly they go, Showing their true shapes, Hence to their own homes.
###### 11: An eleventh I know, | if needs I must lead | To the fight my long-loved friends; I sing in the shields, | and in strength they go Whole to the field of fight, Whole from the field of fight, And whole they come thence home.
###### 12: A twelfth I know, | if high on a tree | I see a hanged man swing; So do I write | and color the runes | That forth he fares, And to me talks.
###### 13: A thirteenth I know, | if a thane full young | With water I sprinkle well; He shall not fall, | though he fares mid the host, Nor sink beneath the swords.
###### 14: A fourteenth I know, | if fain I would name | To men the mighty gods; All know I well | of the gods and elves, Few be the fools know this.
###### 15: A fifteenth I know, | that before the doors | Of Delling sang Thjothrörir the dwarf; Might he sang for the gods, | and glory for elves, And wisdom for Hroptatyr wise.
###### 16: A sixteenth I know, | if I seek delight | To win from a maiden wise; The mind I turn | of the white-armed maid, And thus change all her thoughts.
###### 17:  A seventeenth I know, | so that seldom shall go | A maiden young from me
###### 18: An eighteenth I know, | that ne'er will I tell | To maiden or wife of man,-- The best is what none | but one's self doth know, So comes the end of the songs,-- Save only to her | in whose arms I lie, | Or who else my sister is.

# Non-Paired Items

### Draupnir
This iron ring has emeralds embedded in it. Once a week the bearer may concentrate for an hour on the ring. Doing so will produce 8 identical rings, each worth 100gp.

### Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr - þórr's Goats
These two bags of goat bones can be ressurected into real goats. You can speak the command word to ressurect the goats. The goats are edible, and make for a great stew. If killed, they cannot be ressurected until the next dawn. If the bones are cracked or broken, the corresponding goat will have the same break or crack in their leg.

### Sumarbrandr - Attunement
This golden longsword gleams in the sun, and is extraordinarily light. Its magic enhances its user's combat prowess.
* The longsword is a +3 weapon
* You can use a Bonus Action to toss this magic sword into the air and speak the Command Word. When you do so, the sword begins to hover, flies up to 30 feet, and attacks one creature of your choice within 5 feet of it. The sword uses your Attack roll and ability score modifier to Damage Rolls.
* While the sword hovers, you can use a Bonus Action to cause it to fly up to 30 feet to another spot within 30 feet of you. As part of the same Bonus Action, you can cause the sword to Attack one creature within 5 feet of it. It can make as many attacks as you can.
* If within 10ft of you, the sword will protect you from attacks, granting you +5 to your AC.
After the hovering sword attacks for the Twentieth time, it flies up to 30 feet and tries to return to your hand. If you have no hand free, it falls to the ground at your feet. If the sword has no unobstructed path to you, it moves as close to you as it can and then falls to the ground. It also ceases to hover if you grasp it or move more than 30 feet away from it.

### Dainsleif - Attunement

* This longsword is a +3 weapon.
* This longsword has been cursed the by the Dwarves that made it. When drawn the wielder must make a DC 20 Wisdom saving throw or try and kill one humanoid when they notice one.
* When struck by the sword, the target must make a DC 20 Constitution saving throw, on a failure it can't heal wounds from this weapon.

\columnbreak

### Tyrfing - Attunement

* This shortsword is a +3 weapon.
* When drawn the wielder must make a DC 20 Wisdom saving throw or try and kill one humanoid when they notice one.
* The sword never degrades.
* The sword can cut through iron and stone as easily as cloth. This sword ignores any benefit that non-magical armor give its user. Unarmored Defense and magical items still grant their benefits.

\pagebreakNum

### Gramr – Attunement
This sword was thrust into a tree at the celebration of Sigmund's sister Sigyn's birthday. It was used by Sigmund's son to kill the dragon Fafnir.
* This greatsword is a +3 weapon.
* Whenever Gramr hits an object, the hit becomes a critical hit.

### Skofnung Sword and Stone - Attunement
* This longsword is a +3 weapon. 
* This sword is imbued with the spirits of the king's 12 Berserkr bodyguards. You can use command word to summon the King’s 12 Berserkr bodyguards (Stat block given later) 
* When struck by the sword, the target must make a DC 20 Constitution saving throw, on a failure it can't heal wounds from this weapon unless rubbed by the Skofnung Stone.

Optionally you may use one or both of the following rules if you want to follow the myth fully:
* The sword must not be drawn in presence of women. If this happens the sword becomes non-magical for a time.

* The sun must never shine on the hilt. If this happens the sword becomes non-magical for a time.

The amount of time is not specified. It is up to the DM. I suggest a week.
