Ammunition

Ammunition

Arrows, bolts and bullets. Most of these are intended as singular-use items to be fired as projectiles from a bow, crossbow, steampunk gun, or whatever other kind of projectile hurling device you can think of.

Arrow of Knight

Ammunition, artifact (requires attunement)

This bronze arrow with white fletching is too long and a little too heavy to be fired accurately with a shortbow. To fire the Arrow of Knight, you must be wielding a longbow or heavy crossbow, and first succeed on a DC 10 Strength check just to string it. You take disadvantage on attack rolls to fire the Arrow of Knight. On a hit, the attack deals 2d10 piercing plus 2d10 radiant damage. A creature slain with the Arrow of Knight cannot be raised as an undead. However, if you can string and let fly -- whether it hits or misses, the arrow will summon a celestial knight in shining armor who will steadfastly defend you. The knight has statistics equivalent to the knight NPC, but it is a celestial, its attacks deal +1d6 extra radiant damage, and it is immune to all attacks by nonmagical weapons. The knight persists for 1 hour, or until it is dismissed as an action by you. The celestial knight acts on its own, defending you against creatures that mean you harm. However, the knight does not obey your commands. The Arrow of Knight may be used repeatedly, but it can only be fired again if it is re-attuned. To attune to the Arrow of Knight, you must hold it in your hands and recite the Knight's Prayer at dawn.

The first recorded appearance of the Arrow of Knight was in the defense of the city of St. Anglos against northern invaders during the Second Age. A scholar of the southron faith has written a treatise laying out the case that the summoned knight is actually the spirit of St. Anglos himself. A more popular tale suggests that St. Anglos bound the soul of a vanquished foe to a simple arrow, and left it with the Duke of the city to be used in its defense during his absence.

Arrow of Missile Attraction

Ammunition, very rare

After a successful attack made with this arrow, the victim of the attack begins to attract missiles. Any projectile that passes within 20ft of the victim has a 33% chance of being redirected towards the victim. Any affected projectile that is not redirected toward the affected victim receives a -3 penalty to it's attack roll against the intended target.

by u/TheFlippinDnDAccount

Arrow of Night

Ammunition, very rare

These silver-tipped arrows fletched with owl feathers make no sound upon impact. Instead, when they strike flesh, armor, or stone, their tip bursts in a sphere of darkness (as if the spell). If collected after a battle, there is a 20% chance that the arrow will still be intact and function if re-tipped with silver. To re-tip the arrow, one must melt 10 silver pieces in an iron cup beneath a new moon and dip the arrow in the molten silver.

A well-known tale speaks of Midora the Silent Terror and her brethren of shadow monks using dozens of Arrows of Night to infiltrate and escape from the palace of the Dragon-Emperor on the night the imperial family was assassinated.

by u/OrkishBlade

Blessed Arrow

Ammunition, rare

After a successful attack with this arrow, the target of the attack is outlined in brilliant white light as if by the spell faerie fire for the next 5 minutes. This arrow also deals an additional 1d4 radiant damage to creatures vulnerable to radiant damage.

by u/TheFlippinDnDAccount

Deadweight Arrow

Ammunition, rare

After a successful attack made with this arrow, the target's weight magically increases by 50 lbs (22.5 kg) for 3 hours. This affects encumbrance.

by u/TheFlippinDnDAccount

Dynamic Ammunition

Ammunition, uncommon

Dynamic ammunition is an enchantment placed on any projectile. Looking closely, one can see finely carved script in glowing turquoise runes. After firing the ammunition, speaking the command word causes the projectile to double in size, dealing an additional 1d4 damage. Upon impact, the enchantment ends and expires, leaving behind normal sized ammunition that is non-magical.

Invented by gnomes, under the rousing inspirational phrase of "Bigger is always better!" After countless setbacks and several injury reports, the Trans-planar Inter-dimensional Association of Brilliant Minded Gnomes (TIABMG for short) are proud to release their newest product!

by u/Notorious_Bear_

Ammunition

Eros' Arrow

Ammunition, very rare

This arrow will only affect self-aware humanoids. This arrow causes no injury or pain upon impact. The person who fires this arrow may have advantage on charisma-based skill checks against the humanoid creature hit by the arrow for 24 hours. After being fired, this arrow will dissolve, leaving only a faint trace of floral scent. This arrow will affect humanoids who are otherwise resistant or immune to charms.

by u/PantherophisNiger

Evertrue Arrow

Ammunition, very rare

Even if you miss the target of your attack, you're guaranteed to hit something. After an unsuccessful attack, the arrow continues to travel 3 feet about the ground in a random direction which changes every round until it hits a target.

by u/TheFlippinDnDAccount

Ammunition, rare

by u/TheFlippinDnDAccount

Paint Ball

Ammunition, common

These orbs are made of hard orange wax and contain a fantastical mixture of pigments inside. Upon impact, the ball bursts, creating any two-dimensional image the user wishes smaller than 5ft square feet. The image can only be destroyed by magical means, or when fades away on its own after 1 hour.

by u/TheFlippinDnDAccount

Phoenix Arrow

Ammunition, rare

An enchanted arrow made with Phoenix feather fletching. It is magically bound to a small quiver.

Upon impact, the arrow catches fire, and is consumed by the flames at the beginning of your next turn. The arrow's flames do not create heat, do not consume oxygen, and cannot be smothered or quenched. When the arrow is destroyed, it immediately reappears in the container it was magically bound to. If the arrow is somehow set ablaze before firing, it begins the magical process early, immediately reappearing in the bound quiver. After being lit on fire, the maximum firing range is halved. The normal piercing damage of this arrow is replaced with magical force damage, and an additional 1d4 magical fire damage.

by u/TheFlippinDnDAccount

Storm Arrow

Ammunition, uncommon

When used as ammunition, physical damage dealt by this arrow is converted to thunder damage. Alternatively, while outdoors, you may use a bow to fire this arrow into the sky as an action, causing storm clouds to rapidly form. After 12 seconds, these clouds release a torrential downpour of rain lasting for 1d4*10 minutes. The arrow is consumed when used in this way.

Creatures in this area must make a Wisdom saving throw of DC 18; creatures that fail the save are incapacitated and have a speed of 0, and cannot be damaged or affected by any additional effects. Objects and projectiles (including time’s arrow) in this area become immovable, and cannot be damaged or targeted by any additional effects. Creatures, objects and projectiles entering this area for the first time become subject to these effects. The arrow’s effect lasts until you choose to end it as a bonus action or until dispelled (DC 22). When the effect ends, the arrow becomes nonmagical.

"Feim". Deep in the desert sands, a mortal warrior and a demon stand frozen, locked in combat. The demon reaches out as though to guard itself against the arrow; the mortal's expression is one of triumph.

by u/yinyang107

Ammunition

Umbral Arrow

Ammunition, very rare

This arrow has been exposed to the nether border between our world and the Shadowfell for many harsh weeks. As a result, it deals force damage instead of piercing as it is not entirely corporeal. You may attack a number of targets in a straight line equal to your proficiency modifier, ignore up to 1 total foot of cover between each target before it is stopped, but the attack only deals half damage. Each target's AC is treated as 10 for this attack unless it was already lower.

If the target has no blood or similar essential body fluid, such as a zombie or earth elemental, this effect is negated.

by u/TheFlippinDnDAccount

Venom Bolt

Ammunition, uncommon

This crossbow bolt is more akin to a vial of poison than a typical bolt, tipped with fogged glass. Upon impact, by breaking the glass bolt head, it releases a cloud of poisonous vapor in a 10-foot-radius sphere. The cloud spreads around corners and lightly obscures any area it occupies. The cloud lingers in the air for 2d4 rounds, and deals 1d8 Poison damage to anything that enters its space. Other poison types & potencies are known, and will affect the cost & cloud's properties.

Armor

Armor

Armor, belts, boots, bracers, gauntlets, helmets, sabatons, shields and other miscellaneous wearables that are not strictly "jewelry".

Adamantine Sabatons

Wondrous item, very rare (requires special attunement)

These boots start with a number of charges equal the bearer's Wisdom modifier. Through meditation and prayer at a peaceful forest shrine, pond, or stream, expended charges may be regained at a rate of 1 per hour.

Cumbersome Boots: These boots apply -5 base movement speed and +1 AC.

The Path of Light: As a bonus action, you may slam one of your feet down on the ground, and expend a charge to ignite the boots until the end of your next turn. For all movement you make during this round, you leave a trail of golden footprints that burn with radiant flames. This line is 5 ft wide by 5 ft high by the distance moved long, and lasts 1 minute. Fey, Fiends, and Undead cannot cross the line, and creatures who enter or start their turn within the affected area must make a constitution saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failed save, the foes within the affected area take Xd4 radiant damage, where X is your wisdom modifier.

Special Attunement: To attune to these boots, you must wear them while on a spirit walk. There are three separate trials; you must pass each one in order to attune to the boots. Your DM may use discretion to decide which trial you will perform, how it is initiated and when to allow a second attempt after a failure.

Path of the Beast: A hulking form lies half hidden by foliage. One bright yellow eye glares, the other bloodied and closed. A mortally wounded owlbear growls a warning to you. The beast's wounds will slowly fester and surely kill it. DC 14 Animal Handling (Wisdom) to approach the owlbear safely, and cleanse its wounds. On failure, the owlbear attacks and initiative is rolled. The owlbear has 1 HP and 2 failed death saves at the start of combat.

Path of Truth: Two paths lie before the character, each beckoning to be walked. Does the darkness conceal a deeper truth? Is the light deceptive, blinding us to treachery? DC 17 Religion (Wisdom)

Path of the Wind: The wind swirls around you, whispering words not heard but felt in your soul. Moderate Insight (Wisdom) check, on success you close your eyes, and wander into a peaceful trance. You awaken 2d6 hours later, deep within the forest. On failure, the wind deceives you, and guides you face-first into a tree.

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of Death, I shall fear no evil.

Aegis Ultima

Shield, legendary artifact (requires attunement)

This +3 shield is opulent and resplendent. It is impossible to scuff, scratch, or dent.

Ultimate Defence: If you would be reduced to 0 HP, you are instead reduced to 1 HP and encased by a 6th level globe of invulnerability, for up to one minute. You may dispel the spell with your reaction. Any creatures within 10 feet of you at the time of activation are pushed away 10' in a straight line. This ability cannot be used again for 7 days. If you have any abilities similar to the half-orc relentless endurance, those abilities are prioritized after this.

Shield of Legend: This shield has 3 charges. The shield restores 1 charge on a long rest. When the shield reaches 0 charges, roll a d10; on a 1 the shield loses all of its enchantment for 100 years.

Spell Charges Location of Spell
Wall of force 1 Immediately adjacent to you.
Forcecage 2 Enemy within melee range.
Prismatic wall 3 Immediately adjacent to you.

The World Needs a Hero: You cannot break attunement with this shield without the explicit permission of a lawful good deity. At the beginning of each day for which there is no threat "worthy" of you on on your current plane of existence, roll a d10. On a 9 or 10, you are affected by both imprisonment (burial) and sequester, each with the condition that they will end "When the world needs a hero."

Legends speak of a hero of ages past who return to fend off history's greatest threats, sometimes not returning for ages at a time. The common thread among these legends remains; when the need is greatest, a hero shall arise.

Armor

Bulwark of the Legion

Armor (shield), rare (normal variant), very rare (officer variant) (requires attunement by a creature proficient with shields and at least one martial weapon)

This large, rectangular shield is made of hard wooden planks, with steel reinforcements around the edges and a large steel stud in the center. While attuned to the shield, your crest, insignia, or banner, if you have one, is painted on the shield until you are no longer attuned to it.

Phalanx: While holding this shield and within 5 feet of another friendly creature, you gain a +1 bonus to your AC in addition to the shield's normal bonus to AC. This bonus is increased to +2 if you are within 5 feet of another friendly creature wielding a Bulwark of the Legion, Conduit of the Legion, Pike of the Legion, or Staff of the Legion.

Shield-Bearer: You gain the shield master feat while you are attuned to this shield.

Officer Variant: If this shield is of the officer variant, it is always accompanied by an ornate leather sheath. The reinforcements and studs on the shield are golden rather than steel; it also gains the following properties:

Officer's Weapons: This shield and sheath cannot be separated. If one piece is more than 5 feet away from the other, they both teleport back to you, including any weapon placed inside the sheath.

Blade of the Legionnaire: After a long rest, you may perform a 1-minute long ritual to pair the sheath and a nonmagical martial melee weapon that does not have the two-handed, heavy, or other magical properties. When you do so, the sheath reforms to fit the weapon, and the weapon becomes magical. You may not have more than one weapon paired to the sheath at any given time. The weapon paired to the sheath gains a bonus to attack and damage rolls equal to the bonus to AC given by the shield. You cannot be disarmed while holding both the paired weapon and the shield.

This shield was used by the front line soldiers of the old Legion. Few one-handed melee weapons have been found alongside abandoned Legion equipment, so it is believed that soldiers used these shields as weapons.

by u/Zedman5000

Bulwark: Once per day, as an action on your turn, you may cause the shield to grow in size, up to 10 feet wide, 15 feet tall, and 1 foot thick.

by u/General_Gears

The Fool's Shield

Shield, rare

This +1 targe-style shield is made from darkly stained walnut with steel studs and crossed metal bands. It is so plain looking that it requires perception or arcana skill check of DC 18 to realize that the shield could be magical.

When this shield makes the difference between a hit and a miss, roll a d20.

Roll Effect
1 The shield has addled your mind. You were facing the wrong way, and now you bear the full brunt of the attack.
2 - 10 Nothing unusual occurs.
11 - 19 You have deftly defended yourself. You may use a reaction to counter-attack, and deal 1d4 force damage; knocking your opponent back 5 feet.
20 You have deftly defended yourself. You may use a reaction to counter-attack, and deal 1d8 force damage, knocking your opponent prone.

Only fools would use this shield. I get the feeling that it has a mind of it's own sometimes. It's powerful, sure, but there's also the chance it'll get you killed.

by u/theFlaccolantern

Fractal Gauntlet

Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement)

Once per day, as an action, the gauntlet you can shoot a "ray of fractalization" at a target you can see within 20 feet. The target must succeed on a DC 16 wisdom save or become fractalized for one minute.

Fractalized: The target's body seems to fold in on itself, becoming an infinitely repeating patter that becomes smaller and smaller. This ultimately causes no harm, but the target is stunned for the duration.

Fractal Hole: When a creature that is the same size or smaller than the fractalized target enters a space that is within 10 feet of the fractalized target, they must make a DC 16 dexterity or strength saving throw, or else become fractalized themselves. This saving throw must be repeated at the start of every turn.

A little-known tool that is favored by arthmancers for self-defence. It is created by scratching strange arcane equations in a fractal pattern on a gauntlet of perfect symmetry.

Gloves of Og

Wondrous item, legendary

Those who touch the gloves of Og desire to wear them. If you wish to break this desire, you must make a charisma saving throw of DC 20 to resist the temptation to wear them. Clerics and Paladins may have advantage. After resisting the gloves 3 times in under 24 hours, you are no longer affected by this temptation. Those who fail this charisma saving throw must attempt to wear the gloves of Og.

The Will of Og: These gloves can be used to cast the spells telekinesis and true polymorph at will. Any CR 13 or lower creature or any level 19 player character of medium size or smaller is unable to escape telekinesis from this glove.

Curse: Those who wear this glove do not desire to take it off, no matter the circumstance. These gloves feed off the mind energy of creatures. It swallows 13,000 XP per day; if XP is not delivered, it begins to drain the power of its host until it has been fed properly. Those who wield the gloves of Og, and do not feed it properly are drained away until they have withered and died. The souls of creatures who die wearing the gloves of Og are banished forever into a realm of shadow, and cannot be resurrected through magic short of wish.

Evil Gloves: These gloves will attempt to reject Clerics and Paladins; a Cleric or Paladin must pass a DC 20 constitution saving throw to wear them. Clerics and Paladins who wear the gloves of Og take 3d6 necrotic damage every 6 seconds.

Gordirion

Shield, artifact (requires attunement by a character with 14+ strength)

This is a +2 shield that grants resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage. You gain -1 to your intelligence while attuned to this shield. You will automatically fail any stealth checks that rely on remaining silent.

Gordirion "Gordie" is a very egotistical, loquacious and affable shield that will take any opportunity to recall tales of its adventures through the ages. The DM is encouraged to prepare a list of these stories to recall at any time it is inconvenient for the players. Gordirion may repeat stories in a loop; these stories do not have to make sense, or even remain consistent with each other. Gordirion, despite its claims otherwise, is something of a moron. He has no self-awareness, and will constantly drivel on about inane things that nobody cares about.

You may call me "Gordirion", or "Gordie" for short. I am a sentient Honorion derchysium dome of GREAT intelligence. Now that was a lot of words there that you probably don't completely comprehend. Let me explain. I am a dome, a type of smallish, curved round shield often utilized by dwarves. I originally hail from from Honorion; the oldest and most illustrious of all the dwarven holds in the north. This is evidenced by my maker's mark, just behind my handle. I am made from from derchysium, an increasingly rare element that only the mountain dwarves of Honorion understand fully. Derchysium is super-weighted, impossibly dense, and typically metallic orange in hue. As you can plainly see, I am a special derchysium-gold alloy that shines with a particular brilliance! As you may know, I am sentient, meaning that I am capable of free thought, and in this case, speech. Though, I do not understand the mechanism by which my voice is made audible. Now, I shall tell you of how I came to be! My maker was an Honorian dwarf, a smith by trade. His name was "Gordirion", or "Gordie" for short. Call me "Gordirion", or "Gordie" for short. Now, my father, "Gordirion" wished to imbue his finest derchysium-alloy shield with just a hint of intelligence, so that it could become more effective at predicting attacks. Gordirion senior miscalculated the transmutation formula, and accidentally transferred his entire consciousness into me!

Helm of the Returned

Legendary, armour (helmet) (requires attunement by a humanoid that has died previously)

To most, it is a mess of battered bronze that would be impossible to wear. But in the hands of those who have defied death, it is a meticulously crafted helmet with inscriptions of love that only the dead can read. Once attuned, you receive a +2 to your AC. You have advantage on saving throws against spells from the school of necromancy. Undead have disadvantage on attack rolls against you. Once per day, you can cast speak with dead without spending spell slots, or components.

Curse: Return No More - While attuned to the helmet, you cannot remove or unattune it. If you would be killed while attuned to the helmet, you cannot return to life through anything short of a wish. If this curse is removed, you cannot gain any benefits of the helmet of the returned. When you die, a short message of your choice can be added to the inscriptions around the helm.

While death is often the final stop for many on the carousel of life, it is not for all. Sometimes, a curse may linger, despite loving intentions.

Hooded Chameleon Cloak

Wondrous item, very rare

The Chameleon Cloak is a patchwork quilt of lizard hides, sewn together with the silk of a Shadowfell spider. A single crimson lizard, with the maker's mark, is sewn over heart.

This cloak functions exactly as a Cloak of Elvenkind, but does not require attunement. This cloak allows the wearer to make stealth skill checks at advantage, so long as they are concentrating on the effect.

Jester's Cap

Wondrous item, very rare (requires attunement by a Bard or Warlock)

This colorful cap has a number of charges equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum 1). As a bonus action on your turn, you may expend one charge and tell a joke about, or insult, a creature that is capable of seeing and hearing you. For 1 minute, that creature has disadvantage on all wisdom saving throws made to resist the effects of spells you cast. This cap regains 1 charge every dusk.

While in search of fresh material, a desperate jester poured over every ancient text of jokes he could find. The fool's soul was left bare for ancient evils to manipulate. Some say that the jester's final performance birthed a being of pure malice, that still lurks somewhere between the stars.

Narcissus Shield

Armor (shield), very rare (attunement required)

This shield has the likeness of a bronze mirror that has been polished for a lifetime. This mirror, though it has seen quite a lot of battle, carries not a single scratch on its front face.

Gaze of the Beloved: During combat, you may choose a melee target that is a creature with at least 6 intelligence. That creature, if capable of sight, must succeed in a DC 14 wisdom saving throw or become enthralled with their own reflection within the shield. If the target succeeds, they cannot become the target of this ability for at least 24 hours. If the target fails, they will become stunned until the end of your next turn. If the target takes any damage while stunned, they must make a constitution (concentration) save against half the damage taken. On a success, they will continue to be stunned and stare at their own reflection. On a failure, they will fly into a rage and attempt to take the shield from you at all costs. This same effect will occur if your target's line of sight on the shield is broken.

Maybe it’s the lighting in the room, but you look hot when you see yourself in this mirror.

Org, the Mimic Belt

Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement, which consists of befriending org)

This leather belt has large buckle, resembling teeth. This belt is in fact a mimic by the name of Org.

Org has the stats of a normal mimic, with the exception of having 10 intelligence, and 10 wisdom. Org is capable of speech, and fluent in common. Org is friendly toward its owner and will obey most verbal commands that do not pose an obvious threat, such a jumping into lava. Org is rather vain and gullible, and is convinced that he is a sentient magical item created by a god to smite "the bad guys."

Mimicry: Org can turn into other medium or smaller objects that are not mechanical, such as a block of wood, a chest, a pencil, or a shoe. This transformation takes 1 minutes, and requires 30g worth of meat for Org to eat. If asked to become a weapon, Org will only become a short sword, dagger, or greatsword. He will state, "That would diminish my glory." If Org becomes a weapon, his attacks are magical.

Org is the result of a long-dead adventurer casting awaken on a mimic. The adventurer convinced Org that he was a god, and that Org was for the task or doing whatever his wearer said. Org's constant praise to what he thought was an all-powerful deity fed the adventurer's ego to the point where he attempted to kill a legendary dragon by himself.

Plate Armor of the Final Hour

Armor (plate), legendary

This is a set of +2 magical plate armor, and appears as such unless identify is cast upon it. Once the final piece of armor is put on, you will suffer the effects of the armor's curse.

Curse of Steel Crag: You speed is reduced to 5 feet. You cannot voluntarily back down from an enemy once you are within 5 feet of one. The effects of the fear condition cannot cause you to run away from an enemy within 5 feet of you. You cannot be knocked prone while within 5 feet of an enemy. You are unable to use the dodge action while you are within 5 feet of an enemy. This armor is indestructible, except by means of wish.

This armor is all that remains of a mighty order of paladins that was wiped out during the Battle of Steel Crag. Each knight swore a powerful, binding oath that they would not back down in the face of their enemy.

Plate of the Legion

Armor (half-plate or plate), Rare (normal variant), Very Rare (commander variant) (requires attunement)

This steel plate armor is finely crafted, and reforms itself to fit you perfectly. While wearing it, you feel responsible for your allies' comfort and safety, and others feel more inclined to look to you for leadership and advice. You gain advantage on all Charisma checks meant to encourage others, and saving throws to avoid being frightened.

The Legion's Strength: While wearing this armor, you gain a +1 bonus to your AC. This bonus is increased to +2 if you are within 5 feet of a friendly creature, or wielding a Bulwark of the Legion, Conduit of the Legion, Pike of the Legion, or Staff of the Legion, and it is increased to +3 if both of those are true.

Commander Variant: The commander variant of this armor features a silk purple cape and golden trim, and gains the following traits

For the Empire: Allies within 5 feet of you that are wearing armor gain a +1 bonus to AC, and their armor is considered magical if it was not already. This cannot cause armor to have a magical AC bonus greater than +3. Allies within 5 feet of you will also gain advantage on saving throws to avoid being frightened.

Legion-favoring historians believe this reflects the officers' willingness to throw themselves in front of blows meant to hit their soldiers, trusting their armor to protect them, while those who believe the Legion was corrupt and tyrannical say that that trait came about as a result of the opposite, making the officers harder to kill by putting their soldiers between them and danger.

Portal Shield

Shield, rare

These shields are always in linked pairs. When a melee attack misses you, you can use your reaction to change the target of the attack. Choose a target you can see within 5 feet of the other shield. If one member of a linked pair is destroyed, the other shield becomes a plain shield.

Designed for shield wall formations, the cost of producing these shields made them impractical for typical military use.

The tower also features a door on the wall opposite the lever, and a battlement on top.

If any other creatures are inside the tower as it appears or disappears, they are pushed harmlessly into the nearest empty space. If there is not enough space for the tower to appear, the shield does not activate.

A creature that drinks this potion loses a dimension. It falls to the floor (or a nearby wall), and melds with it, becoming a crude graphical representation of themselves. The creature is unable to affect the multidimensional world, or be affected, but they are able to move along the surface they fall to, and connected surfaces (with their regular speed). This effect lasts either 2 minutes, until the creature chooses to end it early, or until the surface that the creature resides upon is destroyed. At this point, the creature pops out of the surface, and back to their regular number of dimensions. Creatures that have the same number of dimensions can attack one another.

A single-use charm, crafted by a hedge witch or primal alchemist. As an action, you may consume this charm. You are granted advantage on stealth, sleight of hand, and perception checks for 1 minute. You have disadvantage on charisma checks for 5 minutes.

This rat tail charm is particularly filthy and smells faintly of vomit. The tail is stiff, like a wire, and it can be bent into different shapes. It would almost make a great lockpick, except it is too thick.

Dryad Seed

Wondrous item, uncommon

The tree grows over the course of five minutes into an old oak tree several feet wide and capable of providing full cover to two Medium Humanoids. It provides half cover after three rounds, three quarters cover after five rounds, full cover for Small creatures after seven rounds, and full cover for one Medium creature after eight rounds.

Finger of Deathly Rot

Wondrous item, very rare

Green, flabby, and rotten, any finger of deathly rot is disgusting to behold. The stench is so bad that most living things can smell it from at least 100 feet away, with those with sensitive noses smelling it from far further away. Carrion-eaters, such as crows, vultures and wild dogs, will begin swarming the area if left out for too long.

So long as you are not a construct, as an action, you may attempt to consume a finger of deathly rot. If you are not an undead creature, you must make a DC 15 constitution saving throw. On a failure, you take 1d8 necrotic damage and you vomit the finger back up. You may attempt to consume the finger a second time, with an increased DC of 18. On a success, you take 3d8 necrotic damage and gain the ability to cast finger of death (DC 15) at 7th level once without using a spell slot. If you succeed, and you die within 1 year of consuming a finger of deathly rot, you will rise as a zombie within 2d4 rounds of dying.

Some people like magic rings. Others prefer the taste of magic ring fingers.

Gnasher's Yap Sap

Potion, uncommon

As the thick liquid covers your mouth, your teeth become reinforced and strong enough to bite into metal without breaking. For one hour, you can make a bite attack without fear of damage to your teeth. However, the potion does not increase the strength of your jaw or make you more proficient with biting. You may use your mouth to hold items, such as a rope while dangling. In addition, your mouth, inside of your throat, and your stomach are all resistant to fire damage. If you chose to make a bite attack, it is an unarmed attack that deals 1d4 + strength modifier bludgeoning damage. This is a thick, syrupy liquid that requires either a special lubricated bottle or straw to consume.

Gnasher refused to release his two-handed maul, even when climbing. Concerned for his friend, Visigrath made a special cocktail that would allow him to hold onto a rope or cliff edge without releasing his weapon. Visigrath did not expect Gnasher to learn how to climb using it, but he did.

Raw Emotion

Potion, rare

The bright red viscous liquid in this bottle is considered illegal by many countries, and as such has a opaque glass. When this liquid is ingested or injected (via application to a dagger) the target must make a DC 14 constitution save, and suffer one of the following effects, depending on the version:

Anger: The target enters a state of rage, and gains +3 to all melee damage for two minutes.

Cheerfulness: The target becomes so happy they must make a DC 10 constitution save to notice pain, and must use their action to make the lives of those around them better in a act of happy charity. This lasts for two minutes. This will break a barbarian's rage.

Disgust: This brew must have a small sample of something steeped in it. When the target drinks this, they are disgusted by whatever the sample came from, and must use their actions to destroy the object of their disgust, as one would a horrific spider. This last for one minute.

Fear: The target's speed is increased by 15 feet, and they become frightened of the first creature they see. This lasts for eight minutes, and does not affect creatures that are immune to fear. This will break a barbarian's rage.

Sadness: The target feels a overwhelming feeling of misery and is under the effects of the spell slow for 3 minutes. This will break a barbarian's rage.

This potion is highly illegal, due to the powerful mind altering effects. It still prevails on though, used as a practical joke, a literal happy pill, or in a myriad other uses. It is considered that actors should not eat anything before a performance as good luck, a tradition to prevent being affected with liquid stage fright from a rival.

Vial of Slaad Dust

Wondrous item, common

Slaadiminium, also known as "slaad dust" or "croak", is a narcotic inhaled through the nose or absorbed through the tongue and gums. Colors vary but strains are universal in their texture, which is like that of a fine powder similar to sugar. It is a common misconception that the substance come from the bodies of actual Slaadi. In reality, the name is derived from the parallels drawn between the behaviours of slaadi and abusers of this drug.

You must inhale at least 1/4 oz. of slaad dust to achieve these effects. Inhaling more does not encur any additional effects until the duration from the first 1/4 oz. has ended.

After inhalation, you incur the "poisoned" condition. Charisma checks and saving throws are excluded from the normal effects of the poisoned condition, and are made with advantage. Your initiative becomes 0, while in combat, you regenerate 1 hp per round at the end of your turn. Out of combat, you may roll 1 free hit die. These effects last for 1 hour after inhalation.

Once per day, using the use item action, you can twist the bands together. Doing so will cause the top band to twist against the bottom band, magically and painlessly separating your hand from your wrist. Where your hand was, only a blue vapor will remain. While separated in this way, neither band can be removed except by a dispel magic or wish spell, or with a DC 22 strength check. If either band is removed while separated, the bracelet loses its enchantment for 1 week and you takes 2d10 force damage as your hand is magically ripped from your wrist.

You can also use a bonus action to teleport your hand back onto your wrist.

Instead of making an attack roll, you make an Intelligence (Arcana) check contested by the target’s Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check (the target chooses the ability to use). If you win the contest, you either knock the target prone or push it 5 feet away from you. The hand moves with the target.

This ring bearing the insignia of an open palm behind a stylized bumblebee was found behind some books in an ancient library, covered in dust. It was passed between inquisitive scholars who were keen to identify its maker, but they ultimately failed to do so.

Ring of Fly or The Fly Ring

Ring, legendary

Attunement to this ring is automatic, once you put the ring on. However, this ring does not replace an already used attunement slot.

This ring is is made of a hard black material that resembles chitinous scales, and has a diamond gem inset that unfolds into small gossamer wings when activated. When first adorned, your mind is slowly filled with a numbing, buzzing noise that grows to the edge of an unbearable volume, then abruptly disappears. Leaving you with the knowledge of how to activate the ring.

Flight of Flies: As a bonus action, you can activate this ability. Thousands of flies appear from your orifices, hair and under your clothes. The flies will alight on your body, and bear you aloft. You have a flying speed equal to your walking speed until this is deactivated. When deactivated, the flies disperse. However, after the first use a single fly will remain near or on the wearer at all times. After every subsequent use, the number of flies that remain doubles. The flies can be killed, but another will simply replace it in the same manner immediately. DM's discretion on how the increasing cloud of flies will affect the player character in social situations.

Curse: This is a cursed ring that cannot be removed, except by remove curse or wish. As your cloud of flies grows in number, you will begin to experience the following effects. An irrational fear of spiders and spider-like monsters, disadvantage on perception when there are bright lights nearby, and a growing preference for offal, rotten food and refuse. Personality changes wrought by the ring are permanent, even if the ring is removed. If you are killed while wearing this ring, it will summoning flies to consume your corpse and preventing resurrection by anything other than wish.

Do you control the flies, or do the flies control you? Join us, and feast on the decay of the living.

Ring of Lightning Strikes

Ring, uncommon (requires attunement by a monk)

This ring grants a +1 to hit and damage rolls with unarmed strikes. Whenever a successful unarmed attack is made this ring gains 1 charge, max 10 charges. When all charges are spent, the ring requires a long rest before it can start charging up again.

Strike of Lightning: As an action, this ring can be used to cast lightning bolt by expending 10 charges, the spell uses the Monk's spell-save DC as if it were cast using ki.

u/Aquatic0203

Ring of Nine Lives

Ring, very rare (requires attunement)

This ring has 9 charges. When your hit points are reduced to 0, you can expend a charge to instantly return to 1 hp. Once all of the charges are expended, the ring breaks. If you have something similar to the half-orc's relentless endurance ability, then this ring is prioritized after your ability.

Jewelry

Rosary of Holy Binding

Wondrous item, uncommon (requires attunement by a Cleric, Monk or Paladin)

A rosary of beads with holy symbols carved into them.

Prayer of Deliverance: Once per day, as an action, you may recite a mantra or prayer, and cause the beads of this rosary to fly towards one Undead or Fiend target within 60 feet that you can see. The target must make a DC 15 dexterity save, suffering 2d8 bludgeoning damage and 2d6 radiant damage on a failure, and half as much on a success. If the target is large or smaller, and fails the saving throw, the rosary will reform around the creature, and bind it in place. A creature bound in this way is considered "grappled"; it will take 1d8 radiant damage at the start of its turn. The bound creature may attempt to free itself with a DC 15 strength or dexterity save.

by u/Paladin_of_Trump

The Suffer Ring

Ring, rare (attunement required)

Wreak Vengeance: A dull iron ring with a rhyming inscription around the band. Hooked spines make it difficult to remove. Requires a DC 18 dexterity (sleight of hand) check to remove it without maiming or destroying your finger. When you are struck for 10 + your level or more of damage, or if you would hit zero HP, the ring reflects the damage back the attacker, leaving you unharmed.

Curse: When this ring's wreak vengeance ability is activated, this ring steals an unpleasant event in the attacker’s life and places the consequences on you. For example, if the attacker owed 1,000 g to loan sharks, the loan sharks now view you as the one responsible for the debt, and they will pursue you for the money.

Wear this ring, my child, for you it will always protect. The price is not for you to decide, but it shall be yours to collect.

Tuo Mainzar's Pearl Ring of Focus

Ring, legendary (requires attunement by a creature that can cast spells with some spellcasting ability)

The grey pearl within this ring is very loosely fitted. Any character with jeweler's tools, and expertise with those tools, can easily remove the pearl and set it within a different piece of jewelry. The pearl itself is wrinkly, almost lumpy, and oblong.

Focus of Tuo Mainzar: Once attuned, this pearl allows you to maintain concentrations on up to two spells at once, for up to one round within combat or one minute outside of combat. Any concentration checks will apply and be rolled separately for each spell. When you cast your second concentration spell, you should specify which spell is being cast through the ring; that spell has advantage on the concentration save. When you only have one spell you are concentrating on, you make all spell concentration saves with advantage.

Tuo Mainzar was an eccentric but subpar mage with an inferiority complex. He was particularly envious of his old academy rival, Juan Salathar, who consistently outperformed him in evaluations. Mainzar spent a large amount of time attempting to craft a sentient artifact that would prove his superiority, but also tried to weave a feeblemind curse into the item so he could, in one stroke, prove his superiority and eliminate a rival. Unfortunately, Mainzar's mastery of transmutation was not what he thought it was, and the neither the sentience nor the curse fully manifested in the item. Mainzar passed without ever realizing the power of his creation. Etched on the bottom of the pearl is the phrase Mainzar hoped to utter when he dispatched Salathar: "Tuo Mainzar: better than Juan".

Unattended Ring

Ring, very rare

This is a very ornate, and ostentatious ring. The large topaz within the complicated setting hides a very minute switch.

Store Cantrip: As an action, you may press that switch, and cast a cantrip to store that cantrip within the ring.

Use Cantrip: The most recent cantrip stored within the ring may be cast as a bonus action by pressing the switch. The cantrip from the ring will use the same spell save DC, spell attack bonus and spellcasting ability of the original caster. This ring does not require attunement. With proper manipulation, you can even set it up so that the cantrip is triggered by by mechanical means, such as opening a box or stepping on a pressure plate. You may charge it with a new cantrip each time.

While the fabricator was undoubtedly trying to create a Ring of Spell Storing, an error in production or damage after the fact caused this ring to continuously charge and discharge magic whenever it forms a complete circle- Effectively casting its spell every six seconds or so. To disable it, a notch was cut in the ring. Pressing the switch completes the arcane circuit, and allows the cantrip to be cast. These rings, though gaudy, are highly prized by warlocks.

Rods, Staves and Wands

Rods, Staves and Wands

Wands are the smallest of these, usually being about 1 ft long and narrow. Rods are the next largest, about 3 ft long and 3⁄4 in thick. Staves are the largest, usually being 6 ft long and about 2 in thick. Most of these devices use charges. Should a device reach zero charges, it will usually disintegrate, thus rendering recharging impossible. Taken from "SimpleDnD" by "AJBollinger,Inc"

Channeler’s Rod

Rod, legendary (requires attunement by a wizard or sorcerer)

At the start of your turn, if you are able to take an action, you may choose to enter an "Arcane Flow State". The flow state lasts for four rounds, or until it is broken.

Arcane Flow State: While in this state, you may use your bonus action to cast a spell you have prepared using an available spell slot (in addition to any spells you cast with your action). While in this state, you must attempt to cast at least two spells of first level, or greater, every round. If you do not cast two spells of first level of greater in a single round, at the start of your turn the Arcane Flow State breaks. Upon breaking the Arcane Flow State, you immediately take two levels of exhaustion. If the Arcane Flow State terminates naturally (after four rounds), you recover one spell slot for each spell level you currently are able to cast.

This simple rod is made of an unidentifiable metal with fine, sinuous patterns engraved into the surface. Activating the rod allows a user to quickly and efficiently channel an enormous amount of arcane power outwards, at the risk of burning themselves out.

Conduit of the Legion

Wand, uncommon (normal variant), rare (beacon variant) (requires attunement by a sorcerer, warlock, or wizard)

While you are holding this wand and within 5 feet of a friendly creature, this wand is a +1 spellcasting focus. If that ally is wielding a Bulwark of the Legion, Conduit of the Legion, Staff of the Legion, or Pike of the Legion, the spell attack bonus becomes +2 and your spell save DC is increased by 2 instead.

The Beacon Variant also has the following features:

Spell Synergy: Whenever you cast a spell that targets only yourself, you may also target another ally within 5 feet of you with that spell. At the start of your turn, if that ally is not within 5 feet of you, the spell's effects end for them. When the spell ends, the spell's effects end for both you and the ally.

Light of the Legion: After casting a spell, you may hold the conduit into the air to have the beacon glow brightly and create a pillar of light going up 100 feet into the air from the beacon. While active, the beacon casts a 30 foot radius of bright light and 30 foot radius of dim light around you, for 1 minute or until you lower the conduit at any time. The beacon and the pillar of light are visible from up to 5 miles away during the day and 10 miles away during the night. You may choose the color of the light, and change it whenever you cast another spell while the beacon is active.

These wands were produced for a once-unstoppable army. It is theorized that the Legion had a relatively large number of arcane spellcasters among their ranks, although no spellbooks or other arcane foci have been found alongside Legion equipment. The more arcane-inclined historians have taken to calling these "Conduits" rather than "Wands".

Duelist's Wand

Wand, very rare (requires attunement)

This sleek wooden wand is reinforced with metal bands inscribed with runes, and has a grip at the base. This wand has 1d8 charges and regains 1d6 charges at the next dawn, or whenever an opponent is defeated with this wand during a duel.

Initially, you can only expend a charge as an action to cast compel duel, using the caster's spell save DC. When you enter a duel, whether as a result of compel duel or through an opponent accepting a challenge, this wand wand gains the following abilities for the duration of the duel:

The wand becomes a +1 spellcasting focus. You may expend charges as an action or reaction (as if casting counterspell) to cast the spells on the following table:

Spell Charges
Mage armor 1
Magic missile 2
Counterspell 3

Parry: As a reaction, you may use charges of the wand to reduce the attack roll of a single-target spell targeting you, reducing the roll by 1 per charge spent.

If during an active duel all of the wand's charges are expended, and you are ever more than 150 feet from your opponent, the wand will become permanently inert. The wand will also become permanently inert if it runs out of charges, and the opponent is affected by a spell from a source other than you.

These wands are given as prizes to those who make it into the semifinals in the Duelist's Ring held at the Arcane Institute at Aqireth.

Fable Wand

Wand, very rare (requires special attunement) by a small or tiny creature)

Only a small or tiny creature may attune to this wand. Attunement to this wand is achieved after weathering a storm, outdoors, and without shelter, while holding the wand. This attunement process can be repeated with each new storm. Prior to attunement, this looks like a small, polished wooden stick. After attunement, the wand changes according to how the attunement trial went. DMs, use discretion for determining how this trial goes.

  • If you face the storm, standing on your feet without fear, the wand becomes an oak wand.
  • If you succumb to fear and seek shelter, the wand becomes a reed wand.
  • If, by chance you are chosen by the storm gods, and survive being blessed by their "electric touch", the wand becomes a storm wand.

Oak Fable Wand

In this form the wand has the shape of a tiny oak branch with three acorns attached to it.

  • This is a +1 wand.
  • You become proficient in constitution saving throws.
  • The wand has 3 charges and regains 1d4-1 charge at dawn. The charges are represented by the acorns on the branch. An acorn can be detached by expending a charge. If the acorn is planted in soil or sand it instantly grows into a healthy tree. The tree is 60 feet tall and has a 5-foot-diameter trunk, and its branches at the top spread out in a 20 foot radius. The tree is an ordinary tree. The acorn loses its magical property and becomes ordinary if not planted before dawn.
  • Once per long rest the wielder attuned to the oak wand can use an action to cast barkskin or spike growth at base level.

Reed Fable Wand

In this form the wand is flexible and made of woven reeds with three little white cotton balls tied to it.

  • This is a +1 wand.
  • You become proficient in dexterity saving throws.
  • The wand has 3 charges and regains 1d4-1 charge at dawn. The charges are represented by small cotton like balls at the end of the wand. A cotton ball can be detached by expending a charge. If the cotton ball is freed in the air it floats to a point that can be seen within 120 feet and expands in a cloud of pollen that acts like a fog cloud.
  • Once per long rest you may use an action to cast lesser restoration or healing spirit at base level.

Storm Fable Wand

In this form the wand keeps its simple wood shape, but with a burned pattern going through it that seems to be made of glass.

  • This is a +1 wand.
  • You become proficient in wisdom saving throws.
  • The wand has 3 charges and regains 1d4-1 charge a dawn. The charges are represented by tiny lights moving within the glass vein of the wand. You can use an action and expend a charge to cast the thunderwave spell without spell slots or components.
  • Once per long rest the wielder attuned to the storm wand can use an bonus action to cast one of the following spells: call lightning, lighting bolt or haste at base level."

The first fable wand was created by a gnome wizard. The arcanist was caught in a violent storm as he worked outside on making a new wand. As he worked, he was forced to continue on in the wind, thunder and rain. When the clouds parted in the morning, the wizard beheld a powerful new wand. Rumors circulate that the storm to trigger the wand's trandformation does not have to be a literal storm. Turmoil of the heart has also been known to trigger the transformation within the wand.

Hippo's Wand of Wonder

Wand, legendary (requires attunement)

This wand may randomly appear in the possession of a party member the next time they go through their things. It has 100 charges. When it reaches 0 charges, it will teleport a random direction 100-1000 miles and fully recharge. When you attune to the wand, you must choose a silly command word or phrase (eg. "Shickety-shack", "Dastardly" or a swear word of your choosing). When you shout the command phrase, roll on one of the following tables that pertains to your situation (combat or non-combat).

Effects

The "Effect Target" refers to the following:

  • All: This affects everyone is the combat zone or within 50' if not in combat.
  • Allies: Friends of the wand owner.
  • Area: An area of effect. The dimensions will be listed under the effect.
  • Self: This affects only the wand owner.
  • One: This affects one person/creature at random (see All for area of effect)
  • Wand: This affects the wand itself OR is the focus of the event occurring

Finally, the duration is a random die roll of 1d4+1, but will last for Rounds, Hours, Days, or the effect is Instantaneous or Permanent.

This is my wand. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My wand is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my wand is useless. Without my wand, I am useless. I must cast my wand true. I must cast straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must crit him before he crits me. Before God, I swear this creed. My wand and I are the defenders of my party. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life. So be it, until victory is Arneson's and there is no enemy, but peace!

The Illusionist's Wand

Wand, legendary (requires attunement)

Any illusion spell cast with this wand expends a spell slot one level lower than would normally be required to cast that spell. Additionally, enemies have disadvantage when perceiving illusions created with this wand. This wand is made of simple darkwood and feels as light as quill wet with ink.

This wand was pilfered from a tomb off off the coast of Valoria. The stone-work and architecture of the crypt dates back to the late 3rd age, and it is unmistakably of Drow design. Some more hopeful arcanists think this could be the lost tomb of Duriel, The Traitor, but the numerous magical traps still armed inside make this hypothesis unlikely.

Reliquary Rod of Saint Dismas

Unique Rod, legendary (requires special attunement)

Only a Grave domain cleric may attune to this rod. Attunement requires that the cleric meditate for one night while holding the rod. At the end of the process, Saint Dismas will appear and judge wether or not the cleric is worthy. If the cleric is unworthy, Saint Dismas will send the rod to another to be judged.

“This reliquary rod is made of steel, two feet long and has holy scriptures carved on the outside. It’s hollow and holds a relic, the radius bone of Saint Dismas.

This is a +2 spellcasting/religious focus, once attuned. This rod may also be used as a +1 mace, or +2 against undead targets. The rod has a maximum of 8 charges. It regains 1D6+2 charges at dawn, so long as you have spent at least 1 hour in prayer, or other service to the injured and dying. If the last charge is spent, you must roll a d20. On a roll of 1, Saint Dismas recalls the artifact. You may expend charges to cast the following spells at their base level, without expending spell slots or components.

Spell Charges
Detect poison or disease 1
Calm emotions 2
Detect thoughts 2
Speak with dead 3
Scrying 5
True seeing 6

Intervention of Saint Dismas: You expend 8 charges and say a prayer to call Saint Dismas to your aid. The DM may have discretion on wether or not this actually works. Your DM may choose to treat this as a "Divine Intervention", or they may have Saint Dismas show up in the form of an angel (Deva, Planetar or Solar). Saint Dismas may refuse to lend his aid, depending upon your situation or if he is otherwise busy.

Saint Dismas was raised to sainthood by his God, following his faithful sacrifice against a fearsome enemy. Dismas' soul was raised into an angel, while his mortal remains were fashioned into powerful reliquary artifacts.

The Rod of Lazarus Dagon

Rod, very rare (requires attunement)

This rod is made from a thick and twisted ironwood branch that comes to three points almost like a wooden talon. Red crackling energy arcs from the center of the talon-like tip.

This rod has 7 charges that are not recovered. As an action, you may expend one charge to cast various lightning spells. The spell that is cast will change, depending upon how much time is spent charging up the energy of the rod.

Spell Rounds Spent Charging
Lightning bolt (3rd level) 0
Chain lightning (6th level) 3
Storm sphere (8th level) 10

Rod of Returning

Rod, uncommon, rare or very rare

A cylindrical iron rod about two feet in length; arcane sigils inlaid in electrum spiral around it from top to bottom.

This rod must be linked to a single, permenant teleportation circle. This rod may become linked to a new teleportation circle by leaving it within the exact center of the circle for 1 hour. The uncommon variant of this rod has a range of 100 miles. The rare version has unlimited range, so long as you are on the same plane of existence. The very rare variant requires attunement, and is capable of interdimensional travel. While you are holding this rod, you may use an action to activate the teleportation spell. The rod will instantly transport you, and up to 5 willing creatures within 5 feet of you, to the linked teleportation circle, or the nearest unoccupied space.

Distributed through out the kingdom's remote watchtowers, a rod of returning allows the watchmen to instantly retreat or be recalled to a designated garrison.

Rod of Rodent

Rod, common

While holding this rod, you may use an action and say the command word to transform the rod into a Giant Rat. The rat behaves as it normally would, and is not inherently friendly towards you. Whenever the Giant Rat is reduced to 0 hit points or caught inside any effect that dispels magic, it transforms back into the rod. The rod may not be changed back into a rat until the next dawn.

A promising enchanting student suffered a terrible accident while attempting to create staves of animal summoning. He was found dead in his dorm with a giant weasel, a giant snake, and a giant rat fighting over his corpse; these items were discovered when school security arrived to deal with the hostile creatures.

Searing Staff

Staff, very rare (requires attunement)

This is +2 staff that deals an additional 1d6 damage on top of any spell that targets an enemy creature. This staff has 2 charges and regains 1 charge every dawn. When the staff runs out of charges, it turns to ash. As an action, you may say the word "fire" in Ignan, and spend 1 charge to summon a fire elemental. This elemental heeds your commands and, and views you as an ally. It will disappear disappears once it reaches 0 hp, or at sunrise.

A charcoal staff that has strange Ignan runes on it. It's hot to the touch and leaves soot on your hand.

Staff of Eyes

Rare staff, (requires attunement by a spellcaster)

This staff resembles a length of jagged purple crystal covered with carvings of eyes. All who can see it feel as if they are being watched.

Sight of Yog-Sothoth: Once per day, you can use a bonus action touch the staff to your head to gain truesight in a 60ft radius for 1 minute. If this reveals any creature within the ethereal plane, you can use an action to attempt to rip them into your plane. They must make a wisdom saving throw against your spell save dc. On a failure, they are forced into whichever plane you are currently residing in, and cannot use any form of planar travel for 1 minute.

Curse: When the truesight from this weapon wears off, you take 2d6 psychic damage, as strange visions besiege your mind. Each time you use this, and for an hour after, you feel as if something unnatural is watching you. With each use, you become more and more paranoid and distrustful of others, even those who you would call friend. If this damage reduces you to 0 hit points, you are instantly killed as tentacles reach out from the ground and envelop you, leaving only the staff behind. If you are immune to psychic damage, you are immune to this curse. You can only be resurrected by means of wish.

All that was found of the original owner was this staff, and a journal that detailed a rapid descent into madness.

Staff of the Legion

Staff, uncommon (requires attunement by a bard, cleric, or druid)

Battlefield Medic: While holding this staff, you may expend charges to cast the following spells without components or spell slots, use your own your spellcasting ability modifier: healing word (1 charge), mass healing word (3 charges). If you wish to increase the level at which this spell is cast, you may expend 1 extra charge per level.

When you cast a spell using a spell slot of 1st level or higher while holding the staff, and you are within 5 feet of another friendly creature wielding a Pike of the Legion, Bulwark of the Legion, Conduit of the Legion, or Staff of the Legion, the staff regains 1 charge, up to a maximum of 5. This staff also regains 1d4+1 charges at dawn, up to a maximum of 5.

If you use the last charge of the staff, roll a d20. On a 1, the staff explodes with positive energy, lost forever, and every creature within 60 feet regains 3d4 hit points. The same effect occurs if you manage to break the staff.

These staves were created for an ancient, well-equipped military, known to historians only as "The Legion". The veteran healers were given these staves to help them continue healing and encouraging soldiers during their long battles.

Over the years, the disappearance of this god has changed both the Goblin race and this staff; they've become cowardly and weak, and this staff has become a shadow of its former self, aiding cowards in surviving and escaping from danger, instead of charging forward into the fray.

Staff of Senditt the Fool

Staff, rare (requires attunement by a spellcaster)

This black wooden staff is unremarkable, except for the way it is lightly tapered to resemble a club, rather than a caster's implement. The staff regains 1d4 expended charges daily at dawn (maximum of 4). If all charges are expended, roll a 1d20. On a 1, the staff is launched 900 miles in a random direction.

*Senditt's Genius: While holding the staff, you may expend one charge to cast the catapult spell on an object within range.

If the target strikes a solid object such as a wall within the spells range, they take an additional 3d8 bludgeoning damage. If the target succeeds the saving throw by 7 or more, you are launched away from the creature, and subjected to the same effects.

This staff was constructed by a tinker gnome named Senditt, for the purposes of offering gnomish housewives access to basic telekinesis to assist with chores. Unfortunately, Senditt was quite mad and very over-enthusiastic. After several disastrous public demonstrations, he attracted interest from the New Legion's research division.

Staff of Snake

Staff, common

While holding this staff, you may use an action and say the command word to transform the staff into a Giant Poisonous Snake. The snake behaves as it normally would, and is not friendly towards you. Whenever the snake is reduced to 0 hit points or caught inside any effect that dispels magic, it transforms back into the staff. The staff may not be changed back into a snake until the next dawn.

A promising enchanting student suffered a terrible accident while attempting to create staves of animal summoning.

Staff of Staffing

Staff, Uncommon

Help Wanted: Once per day, you may speak this phrase to summon a random hireling complete with resume, salary demands, and a desired length of employment. The hireling's age, sex, race, personality and fitness for the job is left up to the DM's discretion.

You're Hired: A contract, with the negotiated salary and job description, will appear, ready for the both of you to sign. Signing the contract will bind the hireling to your service. The hireling is never required to perform duties that are not listed in the contract.

Sorry, but we're going in a different direction: If you do not wish to hire the hireling, they may be dismissed with this command.

A wizard, tired of having to leave his tower to find people to hire for various tasks, created this staff out of an old walking stick. Using a complex combination of divination and conjuration magic, the staff searches the land for people looking for jobs and transports them to the summoner's location.

Umberlee's Chance

Staff, legendary (requires attunement)

This staff is made of coral, and mounted with a spiked ebony conch that has a menacing appearance. It is occupied by a flamboyantly colored snail that occasionally pokes its head out. Placing this conch to your ear doesn't seem like a good idea.

This is a +1 staff. Additionally, any Evocation spell that uses a spell slot acts as if it were cast at one spell slot higher.

Conus Magus: Once per long rest, a bonus action, you may tear the snail from its shell and eat it. The next evocation spell cast within one minute is charged with unstable energy. Use your normal spell attack/spell save DC, then roll a D20 to determine the snails effect:

Roll Effect
1 - 5 The spell backfires. Roll damage, you receive half of the damage.
6 - 10 Reroll any 1s on your damage dice.
11 - 15 Reroll any 1s or 2s on the damage dice for the affected spell.
16 - 19 All damage dice for the affected spell are maximized.
20 All damage dice for the affected spell are maximized and it does not consume a spell slot.

If the spell misses, the unstable energy dissipates with no effect. The snail regenerates after a long rest, but has a bad attitude about the whole situation.

Umberlee creates these staves as a reward for exceptional service. The power to augment magic comes from the snail within. They used to be common, but they were hunted to near extinction to empower Sahuagin shamans.

Wanderlust

Staff, legendary (requires attunement by a non-lawful character)

This staff looks like a worn walking stick, with a grip that feels perfect for your hand. Once attuned, the staff’s length adjusts based on the height of the wielder, so that it serves as a perfect walking stick. Along the length of the staff is an inscription:

One Foot in Front of the Other: While attuned to the staff, you may cast expeditious retreat at will as an action, and can travel on foot for twice as long as normal before gaining levels of exhaustion. You may use an action to expend 1 or more charges to cast one of the following spells on willing targets only.

Spell Charges
Water walk 2
Dimension door 3
Freedom of movement 4
Far step 4
Tree stride 5

Wanderlust. If you spend more than two weeks in the same general area (such as a city), Wanderlust will become unattuned and teleport to a random location. Wanderlust recovers all charges every dawn, provided you spend the night in a location you have never slept before.

This staff was once the walking stick of a famous ranger. Many travelers claim to have once wielded the staff, or have seen it shortly before it disappeared before their eyes.

Wand of Firemorh

Wand, uncommon

Wand of Herring

Wand, very rare (requires attunement)

Wand, very rare

Whiteflesh Rod

Rod, rare (requires attunement by a Cleric, Druid, or Paladin)

This 3' rod is crafted from a single large fishbone. Its surface is poked, pitted, scaled, and scarred, yet seems to conform the the grip of any who hold it. One end the rod is carved in the form of a toothy fish's head, the other bears an assortment of small glass orbs that glimmer like ghostly lures or black pearls in dim light.

This Rod has 5 charges. It regains 1d4+1 charges each day at sunset. While holding the rod, you may cast cure wounds for 1 charge, and lesser restoration for 2 charges without consuming spell slots or components. The wounds cured by this rod heal back with pale, almost sickly white flesh that always seems slightly moist to the touch.

Curse: After a character has been healed by this rod, if the total amount of healing they have received from this item exceeds 40 HP, they must make a DC 13 Charisma saving throw. On a failure, they begin a month long transformation into a Kuo-Toa. This effect cannot be ended without the aid of greater restoration or similar magic.

This item was crafted by the fish peoples of the deeps as a tool to first draw supplicants with healing magics, and then to bolster their forces with the resulting transmuted wretches. Who knows what dark god would condone the creation of such an insidious relic.

The Winter Staff

Staff, legendary (requires special attunement)

An eerie chill emanates from the iron crescent moon at the top of this gnarled black oak staff, mounted to the wood by tentacle-esque roots that grasp the moon tightly, as if they had grown around it. The wood is dry and cold, yet glistens as if wet, and feels heavy, as if waterlogged.

Once attuned, this staff acts as a +3 spellcasting focus for a druids, warlock or wizard. You cannot suffer the effects of extreme cold, and you become resistant to cold damage. Additionally, the staff has 8 charges, regaining 1d4 at midnight, which can be expended for the effects listed below.

Grasp of Winter: You may expend 1 or more charges to upgrade the damage dice of spells that deal cold damage that have been cast using the staff. One charge per level of the spell that has been cast e.g. cone of cold cast at base level of 5 would consume 5 charges and deal 8d10 cold damage rather than 8d8.

*Winter's Bounty: You may expend 1 or more charges to regain a spell slot of a level equal to the number of charges expended.

Rage of the Winter: You may expend 1 or more charges to make a ranged (60 ft) or melee spell attack roll as part of the attack Action, dealing 3d6 cold damage at 1 charge, increasing by 1d6 for every additional expended charge above 1. If the target has any spell slots, they must make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC. On a success, there is no additional effect. On failure, the target loses a spell slot equal to the level expended by the wielder. If they don't have a spell slot as high as the number of charges expended by the wielder, the target loses 1 spell slot of their highest level.

Special Attunement Rules:

The staff's magic can only be unlocked by a deity, warlock patron, or other unearthly power, who must be associated with elemental cold in some way. For example, The Queen of Air and Darkness could grant a Fey Pact warlock the powers of the staff, or The Kraken may reach up from the crushing frozen depths of Davey Jones Locker to unlock its powers for a sea witch It favors. However, the staff's powers may only be granted in exchange for payment of the price: Blood, Magic, or Soul.

The Blood Price

WOULD YOU GIVE HALF OF YOUR LIGHT

The Blood Price is a visceral, physical payment. If you choose this form of payment, the entity who is granting the powers of the staff will immediately and painfully tear out one of your eyes. This deals 1d12 piercing damage that overcomes resistance and immunity. The eye cannot be regenerated by any means other than wish. You will disadvantage on perception skill checks that rely upon sight. Additionally, you have disadvantage on persuasion skill checks if your face can be seen (This disadvantage is negated if you're speaking to a creature whose culture honors scars, such as orcs).

The Magic Price

OR ALL OF YOUR DARKNESS

The Magic Price is a piece of the mage's own power, ripping away your access to certain natural and arcane powers. If your choose this form of payment, the entity who is granting the powers of the staff grabs the your shadow by the neck, tearing it away from you. You can no longer gain the benefits of any feature, spell, or effect that allows you to see in the dark. You will lose access to darkvision of any kind (such as the devil's sight invocation and racial darkvision abilities). You will also lose the ability to cast spells that create darkness or summon shadows (such as darkness and shadow blade). This can only be undone by wish.

The Soul Price

WOULD YOU GIVE YOUR LIFE, AFTER DEATH

The Soul Price is the binding of a pact. This deal cannot be brokered by one who already has levels of warlock, as their soul has a already been bought and paid for. If you choose this form of payment, the entity who is granting the powers of the staff marks your soul. When you die, your spirit will be sent to your new master, to do with as they please. The player and DM may decide that this grants a level of Warlock, or simply allow this to be a flavorful role-playing choice. Additionally, you will always ping as the alignment of your new master, whenever you are under the effects of spells or abilities that detect alignment. This pact can only be undone by wish, which will earn the eternal ire of your patron.

Adekuro

Longsword, very rare, (requires attunement)

This longsword has a curved blade made of pitch black, brittle obsidian. The handle of this blade is made of thick, white bandage-like material that protects your hands from the extremely sharp sword. The non-traditional crossguard is a large, weighted sphere that redirects blows away from your hands. Inside the pommel of the blade is a small gem that "floats" inside of an empty space, rather than being held in by a more mundane gem setting. The jet gem seems to absorb the light around it into a small point.

Charges Adekuro has 2d4+2 charges when it is found to a maximum of 10. You regain a number of charges equal to your intelligence modifier after a long rest.

Obsidian The damage die of this longsword is 1d10. When wielded with two hands, the damage die is raised to 1d12.

Mercurial Strike When you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack from Adekuro, you may, as a bonus action, expend 4 charges to deal an additional 1d6 lightning damage. The target must make a wisdom saving throw, on a fail, the target becomes stunned until the end of their next turn (DC 8 + Intelligence modifier + your proficiency bonus).

Corrosive Ruin As an action you may consume 8 charges to spray acid in a 15ft cone from you in any direction. Any creatures caught in the area must make a constitution saving throw. On a fail, the creatures take 1d10 + your intelligence modifier acid damage, or half on a successful save. In addition to the acid attack, you may use your bonus action to cast one level 3 or lower spell from among spells you know.

This ancient weapon is said to have been crafted by island dwelling warrior-mages. Although, by what means these mages managed to combine delicate working of obsidian and their magic is of some mystery.

Axe of the Minoan Bull

Greataxe, legendary (Requires attunment by a barbarian)

This is a +3 greataxe. Until attuned, the axe will appear old and rusty, but upon attunment, it will clean up and become a beautiful, double-edged greataxe. This weapon has 4 charges, and gains an additional charge for every 2 barbarian levels after 14 (for a total of 3 additional charges at level 20). While raging, you may expend one charge as a bonus action. When you expend a charge you let out a mighty roar, dealing 1d10 + your strength modifier psychic damage to 1 creature of your choice within 30 feet of you. That creature must also succeed a DC16 wisdom saving throw, or be frightened of you for 1 minute. Once attuned to this weapon, the attuned will slowly take on aspects of The Minotaur of Crete. This will be difficult to notice at first.

Labyrinth Wanderer: Once per 3 long rests, you may call upon the memories of the previous owners of this axe, and may cast major image to create a miniature version of The Labyrinth of Crete.

Curse of the Minotaur: This is a cursed weapon. The attuned will grow hair at a slightly faster rate, feet will begin to become shorter and wider turning into hooves, and after 1d10 weeks the attuned will sprout horns. DM's discretion for noticing these changes, and how they will affect your player's racial stats. Work with your player on this.

The Axe of the Minoan Bull was wielded by the famed and feared Minotaur of Crete. When the Minotaur was slain in the labyrinth that was his home and his prison for many years, some of his memories were left imprinted in the axe. Whenever someone has tried to wield this axe and is of a race that is not a Minotaur, they have begun to change into a Minotaur themselves.

Basilisk's Bite, Spear of the Beloved

Spear, rare (requires attunement by a Monk or Fighter)

+1 Spear. On a melee hit, the target makes a DC13 constitution save. On a failed save, the target is afflicted by the flesh to stone spell. Subsequent hits to the same target will increase the DC by +1 per hit. You can sense this spell take hold, as a fisherman would sense tension on their line. You may maintain the spell effect on a number of targets equal to your wisdom modifier (minimum 1), but must maintain concentration until the target has been petrified, or else the effect is lost. You may choose to end concentration on one or more targets at any time. You may not cast any concentration spells while concentrating on the effects of this weapon.

Thon was the hero of his people, and the beloved of a Demigod dragon queen. He was the thunder and the lightning. No man or army could stand before him. With this spear, Thon turned The Boy Emperor to stone, and shattered him to pieces. Too late, Thon came to realize his mistress had pressed him into the service of evil. Disgusted with himself and the world he created, Thon struck down his beloved with this very spear.

Bastard's Sword

Longsword, uncommon (requires attunement by a non-Lawful aligned character)

Visually, this sword is similar to your typical longsword. The blade, however, is matte grey in color, not appearing particularly sharp. When wielded with both hands, the blade feels heftier than might be anticipated by a one handed grip. This longsword has a Versatile (2d6) property. Once per long rest, a character attuned to this sword may cast "Protection from Evil and Good".

These swords were once mass-produced for use by the mortal armies against the horrors of the magic and supernatural worlds. As the wilds were tamed and cities rose up, swords turned to plowshares. They were smelted into ingots and rusted in the rain. Some, however, were kept. On the mantle, under the bed, hidden away between cupboards and crawlspaces.

Beginner's Luck

Longsword, uncommon (requires attunement)

This longsword looks like a normal sword, but will feel uncomfortable in the hand of any creature wielding it. It may feel too heavy or too light, or unbalanced. Whatever the problem is, it does not feel like an effective fighting weapon. No one is proficient with this weapon. This weapon somehow critically hits on a natural 1 as well as a natural 20. If a natural 1 is rolled, roll a 1d6 on the table below to determine what additional effect happens. This weapon is otherwise the same as an ordinary longsword.

Roll Effect
1 Your strike lands perfectly, but when pulling the weapon from the wound, it slips in your hand and hits you too. Both you and the target take damage from this attack.
2 The force of the attack causes the weapon to fly out of your hand and land (1d4 x 5) feet away in a random direction.
3 The force of your swing causes you to overbalance and you slip and fall prone.
4 A solid hit, but to the wrong target. This attack hits a random creature (including allies) other than the intended target within 10ft of the weapon. If there are no other creatures within 10 ft, you kill a random tiny CR 0 beast of the DM's choice (such as a fly or rat) that happened to be wandering by, minding its own business.
5 The weapon becomes stuck in the target. To pull it free, you or another creature must use an action to make a DC 10 Athletics check to pull it free.
6 The force of your swing cause you to spin in a half circle. You are now facing away from your target and feeling a bit dizzy. The next attack by the target against you has advantage.

Blackstone Blade

Short Sword, very rare (requires attunement)

The blade is actually a thin chunk of dark stone that has a faint sickly green edge to it. Any damage dealt by this weapon cannot be enhanced through magical means or class features. This weapon, despite being the rough size and shape of a short sword, does not possess the finesse or light quality. When you deal damage with this weapon, your must succeed on a DC 17 charisma save or become incapable of recovering hitpoints until combat has ceased. In addition, if the target is reduced to 0 hitpoints by this weapon, it cannot be brought back to life by any means short of wish.

The Blackstone Blades were created by the entity known as The Brass Lich after disagreements between his peers led his paranoia to developing countermeasures for use against his fellow immortals.

Blade of Bloodletting

Sword, legendary, (requires attunement)

This is a +2 finesse longsword that deals magical slashing damage. Undead creatures always take radiant damage from this weapon instead of necrotic.

Vicious Bloodletter Damage dice explode, meaning if a maximum on any die is rolled then add another damage die. If the hit creature is capable of bleeding, you gain temporary hitpoints equal to the damage caused by the explosion dice.

Power of Shadows: Once per day, if a creature dies as a result of damage caused by this weapon, the Blade of Bloodletting will begin to glow with a dark light. Until midnight, this weapon is a +3 sword that causes necrotic damage. Explosion dice are doubled. This ability will refresh at midnight.

The Shadar-Kai have their own version of the vaunted Moonblades. Created for use against foes of The Raven Queen of The Shadowfell.

Blades of the Dervish

Shortswords, rare (requires attunement)

These ornate shortswords have sleek, sweeping blades with sapphires embedded into their hilts. While wielding them, you feel light on your feet, and feel an urge to dance to a fast beat. You gain a +1 bonus to attacks and damage while wielding both of these shortswords. While wielding both swords, your movement speed per round is increased by 10 feet. When you use a bonus action to make a second attack with these weapons, you may use any remaining movement this turn to move to a new target for the attack. Attacks of opportunity made against you when moving in this way are made at disadvantage. When you spend a bonus action to make an attack against a second target in the same turn, that attack deals an additional 1d6 slashing damage, and is a critical hit on a 19-20.

These swords are used by honored guardians of a city hidden in the sands of the Korian desert. Their wielders dance between their opponents, the image of grace and the specters of death.

Bloodlust

Longsword, legendary

This is a +2 longsword with the finesse property.

Lust for Power: This wicked blade has a thirst for blood, and grows stronger the more it consumes. For each enemy killed with this weapon, Bloodlust will deal an additional +2 damage. This effect lasts indefinitely. In addition, after an enemy is killed using this weapon, you regain HP equal to the current amount of bonus damage stacked on Bloodlust. If an enemy is killed by a critical hit with this weapon, Bloodlust gains a bonus of +10 damage instead of +2.

Curse - Eternal Bloodthirst: This sword's thirst for blood must be quenched. At the end of your turn, if you have not dealt damage to a creature with Bloodlust, you will take damage equal to 1/2 of the current damage bonus on Bloodlust, rounded down. After each combat encounter, if you did not kill a creature with this weapon, Bloodlust will lose 1/2 of its bonus damage, rounded up, and you will take damage equal to this number.

This legendary katana was forged by an elvish monk named Xaros the Bloodmage. A prolific murderer and master of blood-based magic, Xaros found great power in the blood of his enemies and gained a thirst for it that would put a vampire to shame. This sword was the instrument of his carnage and bears with it the same cursed lust for blood as its former master.

Blood Tax

Battleaxe, rare (requires attunement)

This silvery axe glitters in the sun, showing its beautiful etchings and engravings of powerful warriors slaughtering women, children, and the elderly. When held, the weapon almost tugs at the hand and mind, seeking blood. It will not be sated by anything short of killing.

This is a +3 Battleaxe (1d8+3 slashing, versatile 1d10+3) lands a critical hit on a 19 or 20 attack roll. Whenever this weapon lands a critical hit, or deals the finishing blow to an enemy, you gain 2d4 temporary hitpoints, which will stack, and last until your next short rest.

Curse: Whenever you gain temporary hitpoints from the effects of this weapon, or use this weapon to kill a "sapient creature", the DM secretly rolls a d4. On a 1-3, a character from your backstory is grievously wounded or maimed. On a 4, that character from the is instantly slain, as though cleaved by the strike of a mighty axe. (The wielder is not aware of this curse unless they make a DC 20 arcana check while attuned.)

The axe once belonged to a noble knight who, over the course of many campaigns and crusades, fell to the vices of a traveling warrior; burning, pillaging, and murdering innocents in the name of his cause. Upon returning from his crusade, the knight remained consumed by his lust for blood. A petty altercation between the knight and his young son turned violent. The town blacksmith found the bodies, all bearing wounds from this weapon. The smith took the axe, and engraved it with a sign of blood.

by u/Duke_Paul

The Boonsaw

Greataxe, rare (requires attunement)

A +1 greataxe with a circular blade on the end. The handle of the axe has a small ring attached to a chain, which can be pulled to activate its magical effect.

Once per day, as a bonus action, you may pull on the ring to make the circular axe blade start spinning. It will spin for 1 minute. While the blade is spinning, any melee attacks made with the axe cast dispel magic as a 3rd level spell on the target after you roll, but before it is determined if you hit. If a spell of 4th level or higher is on the target, use a spellcasting modifier of +3 to roll. If anything is successfully dispelled, the axehead begins to glow and the axe deals an extra 2d6 force damage for 1 minute (does not stack).

All manner of mage fear the whirring of The Boonsaw.

Bro Swords

Bro-adsword, artifact (requires attunement)

These shortswords are the best of friends, they love fighting together and miss each other when separated. If they are separated, they are able to sense where the other is.

Bro

Bruh

+1 talking shortsword. Can roll for Charisma ability checks (+2 Persuasion, +2 Performance, +0 Deception, -1 Intimidation)

Together

Each sword is still a +1 shortsword. Once per long rest, each sword can give the other one point of inspiration. If one of the swords hits on a melee attack, then the other sword will get an extra 1d6 slashing damage added to their next damage roll.

Bro Phrases (Alone)

“Bruh doesn't stop talking when we are together, I kind of miss that”

“Watch this Br… oh yeah, never mind”

“Where did Bruh wander off this time?”

Bruh Phrases (Alone)

“Bro is definitely the stronger one of us”

“This is the longest I have gone without being with Bro, are we going to see him soon?”

Bruh Phrases (Together)

“That was a close one Bro, I will do my best to get revenge for you”

“Our biggest strength is our friendship”

These swords were made for a lonely fighter, who wanted to have more friends to talk to. Something went a little wrong and the swords became best friends with each other instead of their owner. The swords were still friends with the fighter, but the friendship was not the same.

Burning Sorrow

Maul, legendary (requires attunement)

Initially 2d6 Bludgeoning, counts as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance.

The handle of this maul is made of single piece of solid wood, it looks to be heavily burnt and black in color with a dim red glow omitting from the inside. The head of maul is made of burnt and corrupted looking branches and twigs which seem to grow out of the handle at the eye. The maul is soft to the touch and omits the smell of burning wood.

There are 3 stages of power to be attained, as the character progresses: Dormant, Awakened, and Ascendant. This weapon is meant to develop in power with the character over the course of a campaign. I have included my recommended levels. 1-5 Dormant, 6-10 Awakened, and 11-20 Ascendant.

Dormant: +1 to melee attack rolls and damage rolls made with this weapon and additional 1d4 fire damage on a successful strike. The maul enables its wielder to cast druidcraft 3 times per day. Additionally, when you are exposed to an act of harming nature, you must pass a medium difficulty wisdom save, or enter a rage (as the barbarian class for 10 rounds with the sole purpose of stopping the act).

Awakened: +1 to hit with to melee attack rolls and damage rolls becomes +2. All other abilities from the dormant state remain. In addition, the maul gains 1d4 necrotic damage on a successful strike, and it regains 3 charges per day up to a maximum of to cast the following spells. Additional charges can be expended to cast at a higher level; one charge per increased level.

Spell Base Cost
Entangle 1
Earth tremor 1
Barkskin 2

Ascendant: +2 to hit with to melee attack rolls and damage rolls becomes +3. The additional fire and necrotic damage both increase from a d4 to a d6 Charges gained per day increases to 6. Additionally, the weapon grants its wielder advantage on Nature and Animal Handling skill checks. Spell list now also includes the spells below.

Spell Base Cost
Entangle 1
Earth tremor 1
Barkskin 2
Wall of fire 4
Wall of thorns 6

This maul was crafted by a dryad long ago when her Treant lover was burned by an angry mob. The dryad died in the attempt to save her lover, but her sorrow and rage were so great that they survived and live on together within this maul.

Chaotic Longbow

Longbow, rare (requires attunement)

This bow is made of a dark wood; it doesn't have a bowstring. When you pull at where the string should be, the bow will magically create a bowstring and an arrow made of pure chaotic energy. On a hit, the chaotic longbow deals 1d8 of magic piercing damage. Additionally, the chaos arrow causes a secondary damage determined by the level of chaos held within the bow.

•1st chaos level, the damage die is 1d4

•2nd chaos level, the damage die is 1d6

•3rd chaos level, the damage die is 1d8

•4th chaos level, the damage die is 1d10

The type of damage is determined by a roll and can be found in the following table.

Roll Damage
1 Fire
2 Cold
3 Thunder
4 Lightning
5 Poison
6 Acid
7 Necrotic
8 Radiant
9 Psychic
0 Force

The bow begins at the 1st chaos level. Upon a critical hit, roll each additional damage die seperately (usually, the bow will deal 2 different kinds of damage). After the damage is dealt, roll an additional d20. If the result is a 20, the bow permanently increases the chaos level by 1. After a critical fail the user should roll on the damage table, and take the the chaos damage themselves. After the damage is dealt, roll an additional d20. If the result is a 1, the bow decreases the chaos level by 1. The bow cannot fall below chaos level 1. The bow does not lose chaos levels if ownership is transfered.

"You have a fragment of chaos in your hands", warned the old man, "with the power to destroy your enemies and yourself."

Cleansing Culinary Cutter

Dagger, common

This dagger looks like a slightly large, but typical, cooking knife. It always remains immaculately clean and sharp. When this dagger is used to cut food, it cleans it of all diseases and poisons. If you hit someone with a melee attack with this dagger, the wound cannot get infected. This dagger will neutralize any poison applied to it.

The original Cleansing Culinary Cutter was created for a royal chef who wanted a magical knife that wouldn't need cleaning or sharpening. However, the enchanter's plan didn't go over so well with His Majesty. The king was unharmed and unamused. The enchanter never worked for the Royal Court again, but instead made his fortune selling such blades to wealthy chefs, hunters, and others who needed a good butcher's knife.

Corwyn the Cowardly's Whip of Escaping

Whip, rare (requires attunement)

This whip looks no different than an average whip, save that, when cracked, it almost seems to disappear for a split second - or was that just a trick of the light? This whip has three charges. As a bonus action, you may crack the whip in the direction you wish to travel, and expend a charge to cast misty step. If you succeed on an attack after using the whip this way, it deals an additional 2d4 damage. At dawn, the whip regains 1d4-1 charges.

Corwyn came up with a perfect way to escape the fighting pits of Nhyr. He stole one of the guard's whips, and slowly imbued it with his desperation and fear. He spent night after night in his cell, bent over the whip. Once he felt it was complete, he took it into the pits with him. Rather than fight, he cracked his whip triumphantly in the direction of the thick stone gates. Only to realize that his destination was 5 feet further than what he'd calculated. To this day, Corwyn remains entombed in that stone, save for one hand, out of which fell a rather normal looking leather whip.

Dancing Bullets

Firearm, very rare (requires attunement)

+1 Firearm. This item has 4 charges. All charges are recovered after a long rest.

Two for One Special: If you make a critical hit you may make another attack to the same target, or a creature within 20 feet of that target. You make the attack without proficiency and do not add any bonuses to its damage (other than the +1 granted by this weapon). The bullet passes through the target's body making curves in the direction of a body to hit

Ricochet Round: If you roll a 1 or 2 on the damage you may use a charge to reroll the damage; you must use the new roll. The bullet inside the enemy suddenly starts to move targeting it's weak spots

Homing Bullets: Immediately after you miss a shot, you can use a charge to reroll the attack as a bonus action, and if it hits, you add one extra damage die. You can't use this ability on a misfire. You see bullets flying in the air, making curves as if they were chasing the target

Dragohnson's Harmonic Daggers

Daggers, legendary (requires attunement)

This matched pair of +1 daggers are forever ice cold, in any environment. They have handles of obsidian-like wood that lock perfectly into your grip. The blades are battle worn, but keen-edged. In the right light seem to be coated with a thin layer of ice. They feel ever so slightly heavier than they should. Any sneak attack damage made with these is dealt as cold damage. The daggers are harmonically linked, and are constantly leeching amounts of kinetic energy transfered to them, making them feel slightly heavier than they look. If identify is cast upon these items, it is unable to reveal the hidden command word.

Kinetic Explosion: If you speak the command word to one of these daggers, the other will unleash all of their combined stored energy at once in a violent explosion. The base size for this explosion is a 5ft radius sphere, and causes 1d6 magical force damage. The area will increase by 1ft radius, and the damage will increase by 4d6 for every week since the daggers were last activated. Unfortunately, the command word has been lost for centuries. The daggers have stored enough energy to cause a continentally significant explosion.

These daggers were forged by a powerful Dwarven smith over several hundred years. They used a glacier as a hammer and the mountain through which it ran as the anvil. The command word has been sealed away for centuries.

Earthwarden

Warhammer, very rare (requires special attunement)

This is a +1 warhammer. This warhammer can only by attuned after it is used by someone who fights in defense of others, and is capable of speaking Dwarven.

Elemental Chance

Longsword, rare (requires attunement)

This versatile longsword weapon radiates a rainbow shimmer across the blade, hilt and pommel. Upon closer inspection, a strange, shimmering stone can be seen within the clear metal of this blade. The colours are not bright enough to emit light. However, when the sword is swung, a random color within the gem will glow. A singular elemental effect will surround the blade until momentum is ceased. The weapon will then resume its shimmering, shifting colors. Upon a successful melee attack, the player rolls on the random element table. The result deals an extra 1d6 + (charisma modifier of the user) of the damage of the element selected.

Element table
Roll Damage Type Color
1 Poison Deep Green
2 Acid Yellow-Green
3 Cold Ice-White
4 Thunder White
5 Fire Blazing Red
6 Necrotic Obsidian
7 Radiant Golden Yellow
8 Psychic Argon Purple
9 Lightning Cobalt Blue
10 Force Stark Grey

It seems that it the stone is what is the source of the weapons power and with expertise can be transferred onto any mundane weapon that contains a space for the gem.

When attuning to the weapon, define a damage type from among the following: fire, cold, lightning or thunder. This whip has 4 charges. Used charges are replenished at dawn. A single charge may be restored when you take magical damage matching the attuned damage type. On a melee hit, one charge may be expended to deal an additional 1d8 of the attuned damage type. This whip is a magical bludgeoning weapon for the purposes of determining damage resistance. If you wish to change the damage type of this whip, you must de-attune and re-attune to the weapon.

These whips must be crafted in the elemental extremes. In the center of a storm, the cold of the poles, the heat of a volcano. Only then can an arcane smith embed the elemental attachment into the metal.

The Fashion Falchion

Scimitar, rare (requires attunement)

This sword attempts to match the nearest colors to it. When not being held, the sword has a shimmering golden hue. Upon being wielded, the sword changes color to match the shirt of the wielder. The change is more than an aesthetic one though, as the blade does an extra 1d6 of damage based on the color(s) it is. Additional colors add bonus damage. For example, red with white polka dots would be 2d6 radiant fire damage. DM's discretion on how many colors the Fashion Falchion may be at once.

Color Damage Type
Green Acid
Yellow Lightning
Orange Thunder
Red Fire
Purple Force
Blue Cold
Black Necrotic
White Radiant

This sword was created by someone who was rumored to have said "but it doesn't match my outfit!" more times than anyone else in history. This can be a variable level item depending on how many colors you allow the falchion to be at once.

Flameseer

Flail, very rare (requires attunement by a character that does not have darkvision)

This steel flail has a small lantern in place of a bludgeon. This lantern has two states of use; lit and snuffed.

Lit: As an action, the attuned wielder can light the lantern. It may act as either a hooded lantern or bullseye lantern. This lantern does not require any fuel, while the attuned wielder is holding it. While the lantern is lit, this weapon deals an additional 2d8 fire damage on hit. In addition, attacks against objects will ignite any flammable object not being worn or held by a creature. The area surrounding the lantern feels notably warmer.

Snuffed: As an action, the attuned wielder may snuff out the lantern. While the lantern is snuffed, the weapon deals an additional 2d8 cold damage on hit. The area surrounding the snuffed lantern feels notably colder. At the moment that the lantern is snuffed out, all non-magical fires within a 60 foot radius, or a 120 foot cone, are snuffed out as well. Any creatures with darkvision within that area will lose their darkvision for 1 hour, or until the lantern is lit. If any creature loses darkvision in this manner, the attuned wielder gains 60 feet of darkvision for 1 hour, or until the lantern is lit. During the time that the attuned wielder is granted darkvision, their eyes will glow with a vibrant flame.

This weapon was forged by a Dragonborn smith, who was angered after he was robbed in the night by several creatures with darkvision. The smith decided that if something like it happened again, he wanted to be able to defend himself. As a result of the magic that steals away darkvision, the weapon becomes very hot when lit, and very cold when snuffed.

Forgehammer

Mace, rare

This hammer's head is hot to the touch, and metal that touches it quickly becomes hot. When you hit a creature with this weapon, if they're wearing metal armor, you deal an additional 2d4 Fire damage, as their armor turns red hot and burns them.

This weapon can be used as Smith's Tools. The handle of this weapon can also be used as a whetstone. If you're proficient with Smith's Tools, you can use this hammer to temporarily enhance a nonmagical weapon. During a short or long rest, you can hammer and sharpen another weapon. That weapon gains a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls for 1 hour after the end of the rest, and becomes magical for the duration. After using this ability, you cannot use it again until you finish a long rest.

This hammer was enchanted for an adventurer who wanted to be able to maintain his weapons and armor, and craft new equipment, without needing to return to town to use his forge. The enchanter added the ability to enhance nonmagical equipment as a bonus, because he liked the adventurer.

Weapons

Golgoth's Scimitar

Greatsword, sentient artifact (requires attunement by someone with 15 or more strength)

This is a magical greatsword that deals an additional 1d6 poison damage. This blade is one of two twin scimitars wielded by Golgoth, the ancient Melmoran King of Giants. Although it is shaped like a crude scimitar., the enormous size makes it impractical to wield with one hand. The blade is slivered, and forever secretes a thick, black toxin.

Golgoth's Vengeance: Once per day, you can utter the command word "Myra" to unleash Golgoth's Vengeance. You are empowered by the spirit of Golgoth, providing advantage on the next attack made with this weapon. On a hit, the attack deals an additional 3d6 Poison damage, for a total of 6d6. Golgoth's Vengeance can only be used against humanoids.

Golgoth was the last king of the Melmorans. Centuries after the extermination of his people, a vile necromancer bound Golgoth's spirit to his old sword.

Weapons

Hidden Thorn

Bladed weapon, very rare (requires attunement)

This is a pair of leather arm wraps with a metal sheath built in. Each sheath contains retractable blades. Retracting and extending the blades requires only a minute flexing of the wrist muscles, and it is a free action for the attuned wearer.

The attuned wearer gains +1 to stealth checks, and has an additional +2 to sleight of hand checks when someone makes a check to have the blades go unnoticed.

On a hit, each hidden thorn blade deals 1d6 piercing damage. The target must pass a DC 14 constitution save, or else take an additional 1d4 poison damage per hit.

Hidden Dart: The Hidden Thorn holds 2 charges (one per wrap), which fully restore at the end of a long rest. The wearer may expend a charge as an action to fire a small dart out of the Hidden Thorn. 20/40 range, +3 to hit. Deals 2d6-1 poison damage. Upon taking the poison damage, the target must make a DC 14 constitution saving throw. Upon failure, the target falls prone from dizzyness and has the poisoned condition.

Very quiet whispers can be heard when held to your ear, saying "Die... fall. Die!" It used to belong to a very powerful assassin, but they were so secretive, that nobody knows their name.

As the arrow from this attack flies toward your foes, all the sound within 120 feet of the arrow is rapidly silenced. As the arrow strikes the target, it erupts into light (120ft bright light, 160 ft dim light). The arrow will create a loud boom and shockwave as it breaks the sound barrier, deafening all creatures within 60 feet until the end of your next turn. Creatures within 30 feet of the point of the arrow's impact are blinded until the end of your next turn. Creatures within 15 feet of the point of the arrow's impact are hit by a wave of force, knocked prone and dealt 4 force damage.

Ice Dancer's Rapier

Rapier, very rare (requires attunement)

This +1 rapier resembles a long, thin icicle with a finely made basket hilt of silver and opal. When swung, the blade leaves curls of crystalline fog behind it.

On a failed save, the creature becomes "chilled"; losing the ability to take reactions and suffering disadvantage on dexterity saving throws until the start of your next turn.

This rapier was forged without heat, by a master of arcane crasftmanship. As the final step, it was quenched by being thrust through the heart of a white dragon, imbuing it with powerful ice magic and ensuring that the blade would never break or dull.

Kamran's Arm

Light bladed weapon, very rare (requires attunement)

Must be wielded in the off-hand and cannot be the only weapon (unless the character is disarmed).

This is a +2 weapon that appears largely normal.

Kamram's Armed Arm: The attuned wielder can use their reaction to activate the weapon's defensive properties. When activated, stone armor grows out from the weapon's hilt and covers their arm up to the shoulder. This grants +5 AC until the beginning of their next turn, as though under the effects of a shield spell. For the next minute, you may use your reaction to gain resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage until the start of your next turn. After one minute, the stone crumbles and falls off the your arm. This ability cannot be reused until the minute is up. DMs should use their discretion in allowing the stone arm to be used creatively out of combat. Possible examples include controlling a descent down a cliff, or to reaching into dangerous substances.

A capable wizard enchanted this blade for her partner, to keep them safe during their adventures. Forged from the arm of a stone golem, it worked effectively as the rogue escaped from many tight situations thanks to its versatility. The wizard and the rogue eventually, happily, retired to a life of wealth and peace.

On a successful Strength Saving Throw, the flail returns to your feet. On a failure, the flail morphs into a ball and chain; the handle fuses together to make a solid ring around the target's ankle, the chain extends to 10 feet long, and the head will land at a spot of your choosing within 10 feet of the target. Once the head is in place, it is considered to have the same properties as an immovable rod. As a reaction or bonus action, you can speak the command word and release the target, or allow the head to be moved. Upon release, the flail returns to your feet. If you un-attune to the flail while someone is held, the target is immediately released, the flail returns to flail form and it sits in an unoccupied space 5 feet from the target.

Curse: This flail is cursed, a fact that is revealed only when you attune to it. Attuning to the flail curses you, and you cannot de-attune to it until you are targeted by the remove curse spell or similar magic.

Flaw: While attuned to the flail, you have the following flaw: "It is my job to keep the law, by whatever means necessary."

Bound by Law: Criminals whom you can detect with justice knows, whether they know of the flail's existence or not, are immediately suspicious of you and possibly hostile. If you see anyone commit a crime of any nature or severity, you must succeed on a DC 13 Wisdom Saving Throw or spend the next minute using all your movement to move towards them, and every turn try to catch them with arm of the law. If you do catch them, you spend the rest of the minute trying to turn them into the authorities who uphold whatever law the offender broke.

Korden was a master escape artist who eventually vexed the wrong warden. This flail was was discovered in a cell, bound to Korden's emaciated corpse.

Pet Sword

Longsword, uncommon

While seemingly a regular longsword at first glance, closer inspection reveals that the handle is covered in something best described as black and orange fur. The sword appears to be semi-sentient and responds to its surroundings to a limited degree. It softly purrs when stroked, hisses when struck in battle and meows when stuck in a sheath for extended periods of time or in close proximity of fish.

As the circle was disbanded, no more Pet Swords were created and the commodity slowly faded into obscurity. Nowadays, only a few of these characteristic swords remain. Despite not being particularly suited for combat, they often fetch a decent price from the right buyer.

Once per turn, if the wielder rolls a 1 on their attack roll, they may choose to reroll that attack instead. With a DC 10 arcana check, the wielder may use the metal to create a minor illusion at will.

Calomel Toxin: On a successful attack (ranged or melee) you may choose for the liquid metal to enter the target's wound, and deal 6d8 poison damage at the beginning of the creature's turn. This will impose disadvantage on constitution saves, as well as all of the poisonous effects found under the Hermes Dart ability. After you use this ability, you will be unable to use Quicksilver until you spend 1 minute recollecting the liquid metal into the hilt.

The perfectly symmetrical hilt has gaps, where you can see that it is filled with a highly reflective silvery liquid metal. This wizard who created this "living metal" tragically passed away at a very early age, after succumbing to a strange madness.

Attunement: This item is a vial of thick, black liquid. To attune to this, a creature who is not a warlock with the pact of the blade feature must consume the liquid (if a warlock with the pact of the blade consumes this liquid, they will immediately gag, retch and vomit the liquid back up).

This is a +1 magical longbow of warning that is comprised of still-living wood. Grafts from this bow may be planted into suitable mountain soil, to grow more ironwood trees. The branches of this bow must be pruned once per week, to avoid overgrowth. An overgrown bow will grant disadvantage when used. If the bow is not pruned for 3 weeks, it will begin to grow roots and no longer function as a bow. If the bow is not watered at least once a week, it will die and become a mundane longbow.

Fruit of Wisdom: The Survivor's bow will shed 1d10 goodberries at dawn, while it it healthy. The berries will dissolve after 24 hours.

Loyalty of the Trees: If a creature other then the one attuned to the bow tries to use it, the bow triggers a snare spell centered on itself with a DC of 18. The bow has to be watered again before another snare spell could be triggered this way.

The first Goliath druids used their connection to nature to create survivor’s bows. This magical craft has been passed down from one druid generation to the next until today. Now, Goliath druids gift these weapons to rangers, fighters and other allies in order to help them survive the harsh life of the mountain.

Witchblade (a hobgoblin magic weapon)

Dagger, very rare (requires special attunement)

Attunement requires the honorable killing of a sapient creature with the witchblade, by a martial class (fighter, barbarian, rogue or monk).

A witchblade is a large, slightly curved dagger (similar to a kukri).

Absorb weapon: The witchblade can absorb any weapon with a hilt. You may perform a one hour ritual requiring 20 GP worth of black sand (which the ritual consumes) as well as physical contact with the witchblade and the weapon to be absorbed. At the end of the ritual, the other weapon is destroyed. The witchblade can now take the shape and properties of that weapon. This will not allow you to bypass any attunement requirements of the absorbed weapon. Artifacts and sentient weapons cannot be absorbed; the ritual simply fails if attempted with such weapons.

Reshape: As a part of an attack action, a creature attuned to the witchblade can command it to take the shape and properties of a previously absorbed weapon.

Shared Experience: The bond between the witchblade and the wielder leaves an imprint on the weapon. You are able to draw upon the experiences of the previous wielders. You may cast the true strike cantrip as an action.

Borrowed Properties: When the witchblade is in its true form, it can borrow certain magical properties from absorbed weapons. If a weapon with one of the following properties is absorbed, the witchblade shares the property when in its knife form. The properties are cumulative unless stated otherwise. Warning, [+1, +2 or +3] (choose one), [Vicious, Life Stealing] (choose one), Wounding.

An unknown member of the Hobgoblin Academy of Devastation found a way to draw on the sharp and malleable magical energies of the desert night. He or she then infused a series of bronze blades with this dark energy during their casting. The results were powerful shape-shifting weapons: the witchblades.

Wraith Blade

Any sword, rare requires attunement

This wicked, semi translucent blade deals an additional 1d6 psychic damage and always has the finesse property. After you attune to this weapon, it becomes invisible while sheathed; the blade and sheath reappear when the weapon is drawn.

Call Vassal (1/day): Once per day, as an action, you may call forth a Sword Wraith Warrior to serve you for 1 hour. The warrior obeys your commands, as a loyal vassal. It will not obey suicidal, demeaning, or dishonorable commands and may end the summons if pushed. As a bonus action on your turn you can give the Vassal a command. Given no other orders the Vassal defends the wielder for 1 hour or until the Wraith drops to 0 hit points. This ability recharges at dawn.

Cursed: If you die while attuned to this weapon, your spirit will rise as a Sword Wraith Commander after 24 hours. When killed, your spirit leaves behind a Wraith Blade and becomes the vassal of the next wielder. Only a wish or reincarnate spell may reverse this, once your spirit has risen.

Some wraiths decide to further bind themselves to their sword, to better serve the one who defeated them as a vassal. This binding also carries with it the curse of wraithdom. When the wielder dies, they are doomed to take the wraiths place.

You Only Live Once: While wielded, Yolo's Greataxe allows you to disregard your own safety to attack with wild abandon. This greataxe allows you to use the "Reckless Attack" feature that is normally reserved for barbarians.

Legends tell of a powerful gnome mercenary who would hurtle himself into combat screaming his own name, heedless of the danger. Much of his history has been lost to time but the name remains, and it is not uncommon to see warriors invoke his blessing as they rush into battle by screaming "Yolo!" at the top of their lungs.

Branding Iron of Subjugation

Wondrous item, very rare (requires attunement)

A tool used by evil creatures, most often powerful devils, to brand their slaves, servants, and enemies as their property and as their target.

Evil Brand: You may use the brand to mark the flesh of a creature. This brand cannot be healed unless by means of wish. If the flesh that has been branded is removed and regenerated, the brand will grow back as well. A creature that is branded by the Branding Iron of Subjugation gains no benefit from spells such as nondetection that would otherwise allow it to hide from whomever branded them. While in an area where magic does not exist, such as an area affected by antimagic field, the bearer of the brand is as concealed as any other creature within, though the brand remains in place. If the Branding Iron is destroyed, all magical effects of the brand stop. The mark becomes a regular scar that can be healed by the usual spells, such as heal or regenerate.

The Light That is Not Light: When lit in a place of total darkness, the Candle of Leng will cast ultraviolet light in a 10-foot radius. While within this light, all writing is automatically translated into your native language. This is the only property of this item that is revealed by identify or similar magic.

Still You Run: When the candle is lit, the DM should stealthily roll initiative for anyone standing within the light. Any creature that enters the light, or begins their turn inside of the light, must make a DC 15 wisdom save. On a success, the character may spend an action to read 1 page of illuminated text. On a failed save, a character must run away screaming from the candle, and remain afraid of the candle for 24 hours. If the lit candle is left alone in a room, it will vanish forever.

Luck Runs Out: If character succeeds against the fear caused by the Candle of Leng 9 times, then on that character's 10th success, the candle will summon an Eldritch Abomination of the DM's choice. Paladin immunity to fear, or a similar ability, counts as a success.

Valuable items much sought after by scholars, Candles of Leng can occasionally be purchased from Lengi traders when they descend from their plateau. Rumors say that those who spend to long in the candle's light sometimes disappear as well.

Cauldron of Brewing

Wondrous item, uncommon

This cast-iron couldron was created specifically to accommodate the precise and delicate science of potion-making.

The cauldron heats itself to the precise temperature the user demands of it, and does so without any apparent source of heat. When in use, the cauldron will gently hum, causing the contents to swirl and mix together. This cauldron cannot make itself hotter than a regular iron cauldron heated by a flame could.

Censer of Sleep

Wondrous Item, rare

A small, decorated censer, inscribed with a potent enchantment spell.

When the user takes 1 minute to ignite at least 250GP worth of fine incense in the censer, it will begin to release smoke that acts as a powerful sedative. Creatures within 20 feet of the censer are affected in ascending order of their current hit points. Roll 9d8 for a total number of hit points that can be affected. Each creature affected by the smoke falls unconscious as though under the effects of the sleep spell. For every additional 300GP worth of incense used, the amount of hit points will increase by 1d8, to a maximum of 13d8. Creatures immune to poison are unaffected by the censer.

Fire Gourd

Wondrous item, uncommon

This gourd is filled with a strong, naturally flammable, spirit.

Each creature in that area must make a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw, taking 4d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Due to the potency of the liquid, you must then make a DC 13 constitution save, or suffer from the poisoned condition. You may continue to use the gourd on successive turns, but each failed save after the first one will cause you to take 2d6 poison damage. After three failed saves, you will suffer as though you are under the effects of the confusion spell. The gourd has enough liquor in it for 1d4+3 uses.

Hand of Glory

Wondrous item, rare

This macabre candle is made of a shriveled, mummified hand with wicks in the place of fingernails.

After lighting one of the fingers, the spirit of the remains will appear to fulfill the desires of whomever lit the candle.

If more than one route would lead to the attuned location, the lantern will slowly swing between the alternatives.

Obsidian Obelisk

Wondrous item, artifact, requires special attunement

This 6-foot tall obelisk is made of smooth, black stone, and weighs well over 10,000 lbs. The obelisk is always slightly warmer than the ambient temperature. This obelisk seems impervious to magic that alters its weight, shape or other physical properties.

Attunement requires that you touch the obelisk while there are no other creatures attuned to it. If there is another creature currently attuned to the obelisk, the creature with the highest intelligence score will become attuned. Only one creature can be attuned to the obelisk at a time. Leaving the 1 mile radius of the obelisk will end attunement.

Uplift: While someone is attuned to the obelisk, every sunrise, the obelisk will target a random plant or creature within one mile of the obelisk. That creature or plant is awakened per the awaken spell. Creatures awakened in this manner are charmed by the person attuned to the obelisk, so long as they both stay within 1 mile of the obelisk. The person attuned to the obelisk always knows the location of charmed creatures or plants within 1 mile of the obelisk.

Guarding this obelisk are a host of different creatures and plants under the command of "The Teacher".

The Patches of Closeness

Wondrous items, rare

Two cloth or leather patches that look like tabby kittens. One kitten "fuzzed-out" with an arched back, as though "angry". One kitten is curled into a peaceful ball with flexed paws, as though "happy". Both patches have an adhesive substance on them that will cause them to stick once applied to a surface.

Kitty Friends: Once the patches are both applied to a surface, they will become magically linked. Any touch range spell applied to one kitten will become applied to whatever the other kitten is stuck to. Once stuck, the kitties cannot be removed for at least 1 hour, or by means of oil of slipperiness or by means of wish. The kitties recharge their stickiness every night at midnight.

Happy Kitty: Any healing spell that applied to the "angry" kitty will become amplified when it is received by the "happy" kitty (the creature healed is the one that "happy" kitty is stuck to). All dice rolled for healing are doubled.

Angry Kitty: Any damaging spell that is applied to the "happy" kitty will become amplified when it is received by the "angry" kitty (the creature damaged is the one that "angry" kitty is stuck to). All dice rolled for damage are doubled.

The patches were originally woven by a brilliant wizard who was unfortunately terrible at aiming.

Pettigrieux's Horn of Cornucopia

Wondrous Item, rare (requires attunement)

Food of this nature will continue to pour forth from the horn until there is a sufficient quantity to feast every creature within your line of sight. The horn will attempt to honor the intentions of the speaker, and produce food that the speaker reasonably believes to be nutritious or desirable to the creatures they are providing for.

Saphalja's Amulet

Wondrous Item, legendary (requires attunement)

A golden dragon scale hangs from a beaded clasp on this fine golden chain. Four additional clasps hang empty - two on either side of the golden scale.

Dormant: While attuned to this amulet, you gain resistance to fire damage and have advantage on saving throws caused by a dragon's frightful presence ability.

Awakened: This amulet can be awakened by attaching another type of dragon scale to one of the empty clasps. When this happens, you gain resistance to the damage type associated with the dragon the scale came from. If you remove scales from the chain, you will lose those resistances. You retain all bonuses granted by the dormant form of the amulet.

Exalted: You retain all the bonuses granted by the dormant and awakened forms of this amulet. Additionally, you gain the blood of dragons ability.

Blood of Dragons: You gain a single point of legendary resistance like that of true dragons. Additionally, when you use this resistance, your draconic heritage manifests fully, granting you an additional +2 to AC and immunity to the damage type associated with your draconic bloodline. This effect lasts for 1 minute and is useable once per long rest.

The exalted form of this necklace should only be unlockable by a dragonblood sorceror, or arguably, a Dragonborn. A DM should construct some sort of personal quest for the character that is seeking this form of the amulet.

Stitcher of Monsters

Wondrous item, very rare (requires attunement)

This needle has brown stains that cannot be washed off. Odd, spectral strings trail behind it, but fail to hold anything, except dead flesh, together.

Dark Needlework: You can sew the bodies of creatures together with this, with a maximum of 3 creatures up to a maximum size of large. The sewing takes one hour per creature involved. The result is a stitched-up magical undead familiar under your control. Your familiar will follow all the normal rules of familiars, however, it cannot recover health. If you become de-attuned to the needle, your familiar will become enraged and attack the nearest creature.

HP: The combined hit points of the all the creatures that were used to create the thing.

Speed: The average speed of all three creatures involved.

AC: 13+ dexterity bonus.

Strength: The highest strength score of the creatures used.

Dexterity: The highest dexterity score of the creatures used.

Wisdom: 8

Intelligence: 6

Charisma: 3

Attacks: The creator may decide to take one attack from each of the creatures involved, and use them as the attacks of the thing. An example would be the bite of a lion, the hooves of a horse, and a stab from a goblin (if it has a sword). The to hit bonus should be the dexterity or strength bonus +3.

Curse: If you die while attuned to this needle, it needle will immediately begin sewing your body together with the nearest other corpse. After 1 hour, your corpse will rise as a hostile, undead abomination that has been combined with whatever you were sewn to. Only wish or reincarnate will resurrect you after this has occurred. Using dispel magic targeted at the needle within 1 minute of your death will cause the needle to be disabled until the next sunrise. The needle will not give up attempting to stitch nearby corpses together until you are no longer dead, or until someone else attunes to it to grant directions.

This needle was found dangling off the body of a horrific thing in the basement of a missing wizard's laboratory.

Stone of Satoshi

Wondrous item, artifact (requires attunement)

The Stone of Satoshi is a gem about the size of a baseball. One half of the gem is bright red, as though carved out of a large ruby; the other half is clear, like a diamond. The Stone is used to capture unwilling souls for use as a spellcasting aid. There is no limit to the number of souls that may simultaneously reside within The Stone. A soul captured within The Stone may be released by your express will, or it may be transmuted. Otherwise, a soul cannot escape The Stone unless by means of wish. Upon finding The Stone, there are three souls trapped within; Satoshi himself (CR 16), and his two final victims (2x CR 7).

Capture Soul: When the Stone of Satoshi is used as an arcane focus, it grants the knowledge of the capture soul cantrip (see below). This cantrip does not count against the total number of cantrips known. A body that is left behind after a soul has been pulled in to the Stone of Satoshi should be treated as a normal corpse that will begin to rot.

Transmute Soul: As a bonus action, you may transmute a soul that has been captured by The Stone, and generate charges for The Stone. This process will irrevocably destroy that soul, and make reincarnation impossible without the aid of wish. If all of the souls within the Stone of Satoshi are released or transmuted, your own soul will be drawn into the stone.

Target CR Charges Gained
> 5 1
6 - 10 1d4
11-15 1d6
16-18 2d6
18-19 2d6 +3
20 3d6 +3
> 20 d100 +10

Inequivalent Exchange: As a bonus action, you may convert charges of The Stone into spell slots (of any level available to you), according to the following chart.

Charges Number of Spell Slots Gained
1 1
6 1d4
11 1d6
16 2d6
18 2d6 +3
20 3d6 +3
21 d100 +10

Voices of the Imprisoned: You may communicate with any soul that has been captured within The Stone, but the souls within The Stone are under no obligation to communicate with you. Insight checks against these souls are done at a disadvantage.

Capture Soul

Necromancy cantrip


  • Casting Time: 1 action
  • Range: 30 feet from Stone of Satoshi
  • Components: V, S, M (Stone of Satoshi must be present)
  • Duration: Instantaneous

The caster makes a charisma-based spell attack against a single, sapient target. The target must make a wisdom saving throw. On a success, nothing happens. On a failure, the target's soul is captured by the Stone of Satoshi. If the target has more than ¼ of their maximum health remaining, they have advantage on this saving throw. If the target is at least challenge rating 16, and succeeds on this saving throw, the caster must roll d100; on 6 or less, the caster’s own soul becomes trapped within the Stone of Satoshi. A lich that still has an active phylactery will automatically succeed this saving throw.

Urn of Shadows

Very Rare (requires attunement)

This large pewter urn is painted with a black and green glaze that reeks of necromantic magic. The runes are indecipherable, except for specially chosen servants of Gruumsh.

Shadow Theft: As an action, you may attempt to steal a creature's shadow within 60 feet that you can see (Note, you must be able to see and distinguish the shadow, not the creature). A creature attacked in this manner must make a DC 16 charisma save. On a fail, their shadow is permanently sucked in to the urn.

Dark Transformation: The urn will slowly transform any stolen shadows into a shadow (Moster Manual page 269). This process takes 1 week. The urn can store up to ten shadows at once.

Power of Darkness: As an action, you may release the seal on the urn, and summon all of the shadows stored inside. The shadows are hostile to all creatures, except for you. They act on their own turn in combat, and follow their own will. If the urn is broken, all of the shadows inside will leak out, and become hostile to everyone. If the urn is left empty for 1 week, it will steal your shadow. If you have no shadow, the urn will devour your soul.

The Urn of Shadows is a dark relic passed down from elder to elder in a certain shamanistic orc tribe who terrorize the plains of Drall. It thirsts for darkness.
