BAG OF CHEESE

Wondrous Item, 5d

Crafting

Tanner

Components

Piece of cheese taken from a mouse trap baited with it for at least 24 hours (Taxidermist)

Description

This item is often bought from apprentice wizards with an adventurer’s first reward from questing. It is a yellow bag with the word “cheese” embroidered on it. Any food you put in this bag becomes cheese, but retains its original taste and condition—a moldy and dirty loaf of bread becomes a moldy and dirty piece of cheese. Any non-food items develop a distinctly cheesy aroma.

Alternatively, you can turn the bag inside out, transforming it into 1 Supply worth of any type of mundane cheese.

BIRDSONG WHISTLE

Wondrous Item, 85d

Crafting

Alchemist

Components

Cuckoo bird egg (Taxidermist)

Description

This carving of reddish soapstone resembles a miniature cardinal. When air is blown through the lower back high-pitched sounds are emitted through the bird’s open beak. When the whistle is blown the sounds of songbirds are heard by all creatures in a 100-foot radius. These calls are indistinguishable from actual birds singing.

Alternatively, you can use an action to break the whistle to summon a large flock of birds that appear at the start of your next turn and surround you in a 10-foot radius. The flock moves with you and makes you heavily obscured from creatures more than 10 feet away for 1 minute, or until the flock takes 10 or more damage from area effects.

CAGE OF FOLLY

Wondrous Item, Attunement 1, 75d

Crafting

Tinker

Components

Remains of a magic item whose crafting check was failed (any crafting)

Description

This small silver or gold birdcage traps your bad ideas and puts them on display. When you fail an intelligence skill check, a little piece of a mechanical bird materializes inside the cage: first the feet, then legs, body, wings, and head. You can immediately reconsider and reroll the ability check. The cage of folly can be used once every 24 hours, and recharges at the end of each week.

Once you have used the birdcage 5 times, the bird sings a mocking song for 1 hour when you fail an intelligence skill check. If you open the birdcage and let the bird go free, it gives you one piece of good advice about a current problem or question that you face. At the Narrator’s discretion, the advice may give you advantage on one ability check made in the next week. Afterward it flies away as the birdcage loses its magic and becomes a mundane item (though some who have released their birds claim to have encountered them again in the wilds later).

CULDARATH THE NINTH RING’S TRUE NAME

Wondrous Item, Attunement 1, 70d

Crafting

Caligrapher

Components

Parchment charred with flames from the Plane of Fire (Fire Genasi)

Description

This slip of parchment contains the magically bound name “Ozzacath’ta Culd” and is burned black at the edges. While you are attuned to it, you can use a bonus action to invoke the name on this parchment to summon a vision of a powerful efreet beside you for 1 minute. Ozzacath is haughty and impatient when conjured but seems to relish the chance to burn anything. Once a vision is summoned in this way, it cannot be summoned again for the next 24 hours.

You can use an action to verbally direct the vision to do any of the following:

• Light a bonfire, candle, or similar flammable object within 15 feet.

• Burn brightly (or cease burning brightly) for the next minute providing bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light for a further 15 feet.

• Translate up to 25 words of spoken or written Ignan into Common.

Alternatively, as an action while the vision is summoned you can agree to revoke your claim on Culdarath in exchange for his direct assistance.
When you do so the parchment burns to cinders and for the next minute the vision roars into a ball of fire within 5 feet of you (as flaming sphere , save DC 13). On each of your turns, you can use a bonus action to verbally indicate where the ball of fire moves.
Once you have revoked your claim in this way, you can never invoke Culdarath’s true name ever again.

ESSAY ON EFFICIENT ARMOR MANAGEMENT

Wondrous Item, 80d

Crafting

Caligrapher

Components

Notes on the use of armor from a dozen retired adventurers (Smith, or any background Robuste)

Description

This treatise details techniques for how to quickly handle armor. Spending 1 hour over 3 days memorizing the essay’s techniques teaches you how to use an action to doff light and medium armors. The parchment then becomes a mundane item for a year and a day before it regains its magic.

EXPLORER’S CHALK

Wondrous Item, 95d

Crafting

Alchemist

Components

2 fossilized bones excavated from digs at least 1,000 miles apart (Miner or Taxidermist)

Description

This unassuming piece of white chalk appears well-used but does not wear down no matter how many times it marks a surface. The explorer’s chalk has 6 charges and regains 1d6 expended charges each dawn. When you touch it to a surface, you can expend 1 of its charges to create a mark that cannot be wiped away or obscured for 24 hours. While holding the chalk, you can use an action to become aware of the direction of the closest mark made with it as long as that mark is within 1 mile.

When you expend a charge, roll a d20. On a result of 3 or less, the chalk crumbles to dust. On a 20, the chalk regains its expended charges and its number of charges increases by 1.

FIZZY LIFTER

Potion, 85d

Crafting

Alchemist

Components

Brown sugar boiled by a dragon’s breath (Encounter a dragon)

Description

This glass bottle contains a brown bubbly liquid and bears a winking wizard on the label. When you are unconscious and have at least 1 hit point, if another creature forces you to sniff this powerful concoction you immediately wake up.

Alternatively, when you consume this potion you are targeted by the levitate spell (save DC 14) but are also comically bloated with bubbles, taking a −2 penalty to Fortitude saving throws for the duration.

FIZZY ROCKS

Wondrous Item, 95d

Crafting

Mason

Components

Secret whispered into raw cane sugar (Herbologist with a secret)

Description

This paper packet bearing a winking wizard’s face contains a dozen brightly colored sugary pebbles that fizz when eaten. When you consume a piece of this candy, you can use a bonus action to throw your voice to any point you can see within 60 feet, and your voice emanates directly from that point until the start of your next turn. This effect lasts for 1 hour.

Alternatively, you can consume all 12 fizzy rocks to cast thunderwave as a 2nd-level spell (dealing 2d8 thunder damage; save DC 14). You are made an additional target of the spell when casting it in this way.

INKPOT OF THE THRIFTY APPRENTICE

Wondrous Item, 75d

Crafting

Alchemist

Components

First and last pay stubs received by an apprentice clerk (Culture Coron)

Description

This appears to be nothing more than a mundane pot of ink. When you speak the command word and use a bonus action to expend 1 charge, it fills with enough high quality and particularly durable ink of the color of your choice to fill 50 pages of parchment. This ink is extremely hard to remove from any surface, including cloth or flesh, and often takes many days and washings to clean away. The ink cannot be used to inscribe spells, and when removed from the pot with anything but a quill the ink instantly dries.

When you speak another command word and expend all 3 charges as an action, a 15-foot cone of ink erupts from the inkpot, coating anything and everything that it hits. Creatures in the area make a DC 10 Composure saving throw . On a failure, a creature is blinded until it spends an action cleaning the ink away from its eyes.

The inkpot has 3 charges and regains 1d3 charges each dawn. If you expend the last charge, roll a d20. On a 5 or less, the inkpot loses its magic and becomes a mundane item.

LIBRARY SCARF

Wondrous Item, 50d

Crafting

Weaver

Components

Scarf knitted and gifted by a loved one (Culture Phénandre)

Description

Wizard schools are rarely built for comfort and more than one would-be scholar has caught a chill while pouring over inscrutable tomes or stuffy old biographies in drafty libraries in the wee hours of the morning. Given that bonfires are generally frowned upon when surrounded by books, creative apprentices were forced to investigate other means to get them through long nights of studying, resulting in the creation of these enchanted trinkets. Each appears as a simple woolen scarf of whatever color or pattern its creator chooses. When you use a bonus action to speak its command word and expend 1 charge, the scarf magically warms you for 2 hours, providing comfort and protection from cold temperatures down to freezing (under more frigid conditions, each charge insulates you for 1 hour).

In dire circumstances, the scarf can offer more significant protection. When you take cold damage, you can use your reaction and expend 3 charges to gain cold resistance until the end of the round.

The scarf has 3 charges and regains 1d3 charges each dawn. If you expend the last charge, roll a d20. On a result of 5 or less, the scarf loses its magic and becomes a mundane item.

MARBLE OF DIRECTION

Wondrous Item, 50d

Crafting

Tinker

Components

Marble lost by a child (Culture Cloison)

Description

This seemingly ordinary marble is very susceptible to air currents as though it were only a fraction of its true weight. When placed on a flat horizontal surface, such as the floor of a room or chamber, the marble rolls in the direction of the current path of air currents around it.

The marble has 1 charge. You can use an action to speak its command word while placing the marble on a flat horizontal surface, expending 1 charge. The marble rolls towards the direction of the nearest exit of the chamber it is placed in, ultimately coming to rest against the nearest exit (regardless of air currents). The delicate calibration of the marble is destroyed and it becomes a mundane item.

MESSAGE WHISTLE

Wondrous Item, 95d

Crafting

Tinker

Components

Gilded feather of an elderly messenger hawk (Taxidermist)

Description

Carved by satyr musicians, this wooden whistle resembles a shushing finger when held to one’s mouth, and blowing through it does not produce an audible sound. Puffing on the whistle as an action allows you to cast the message cantrip once without any other spell components. This ability recharges after one week.

Alternatively, you can use an action to blow extremely hard through the whistle to cast the sending spell without seen, vocal, or material components. Unlike the spell, your message can only contain 10 words and there is a 10% chance the message doesn’t arrive (even if you are on the same plane of existence). The whistle is destroyed in a burst of sparkles.

MUG OF WARMING

Wondrous Item, 50d

Crafting

Tinker

Components

Mug drunk from daily through at least one winter season (Any background Travailleur)

Description

This quilted-patterned mug is perfect for cold winter nights or when caffeinated beverages are a morning necessity. Any liquid poured into the mug is instantly warmed to a piping hot temperature, remaining hot even when poured out. The mug has no effect on any form of magical liquids poured into it.

The mug has 3 charges and regains 1 charge each dawn. You can use an action to expend any number of charges, splashing the contents of the mug into a 5-foot square in a conflagration of flame. Creatures and objects in the area make a DC 10 Reflex saving throw , taking 1d4 fire damage per charge spent on a failure. If you expend the last charge, roll a d20. On a result of 5 or less, the mug loses its warming properties and becomes a mundane item.

OIL OF COSMETIC ENHANCEMENT

Potion, 50d

Crafting

Alchemist

Components

Vial of mimic blood (Taxidermist)

Description

After spending 10 minutes massaging this oil into an item smaller than a 5-foot cube, it permanently changes the item’s cosmetic appearance. This might change the item’s colors, add intricate designs, or make it blend into its environment. The oil causes no damage and leaves no residue, and it only works on nonmagical items made out of natural materials (such as cotton, parchment, stone, or wood).

POTION OF CLIMBING

Potion, 75d

Crafting

Alchemist

Components

Giant spider silk (Taxidermist)

Description

After drinking this potion, for the next hour you gain a climbing speed equal to your Speed. While the effect lasts, you have advantage on climb checks.

PRESERVED IMP’S HEAD

Wondrous Item, 35d

Crafting

Tanner

Components

Head of an imp (Taxidermist)

Description

This dessicated head of a fiend mumbles occasionally as if trying to speak but cannot, its eyes and mouth sewn shut with a rough black cord. The head longs to escape this prison and return to Gehenna, shaking violently and cursing whenever it is within 60 feet of an active portal.

Alternatively, as an action you can direct the head at a visible creature within 60 feet and cut the cord tying the imp’s lips, causing it to burst into flames and making the spirit inside lash out. The target must make a DC 13 Reflex saving throw , taking 2d10 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

PRISMATIC GOWN

Wondrous Item, Attunement 1, 90d

Crafting

Weaver

Components

Dress that has been worn and retailored at least 10 times (Culture Ashvattha)

Description

While it always remains perfectly fitted to the wearer, this ballroom gown constantly shifts between thousands of colors, styles, cuts and patterns. While wearing the prismatic gown, you gain advantage on saving throws made for the effects of spells from the prismatic school due to the odd magic woven into it.

SACK OF SACKS

Wondrous Item, 55d

Crafting

Weaver

Components

Sack left to drift for at least a week in Passage (Oni)

Description

Inside this hand-sized sack is a Medium-sized sack. There is no room to store anything inside the original sack. When you pull a sack out, roll 1d20 and add 1 for each sack pulled out in the last 24 hours. On a result of 20 or higher the hand-sized sack is empty and it becomes a mundane item. Otherwise there is another Medium-sized sack inside.

Wondrous Item, Attunement 1, 100d

Crafting

Tinker

Components

Armor sized for a Tiny creature (Smith)

Description

This military-styled tin contains a Tiny ethereal mottled green proto-homunculus dressed in soldier’s armor and when opened it salutes with earnest eagerness. You can instruct this gremlin to patrol an area, such as the perimeter of a room, campsite, or structure, while keeping watch for a creature type you instruct it to watch for. It completely ignores any creatures that are not of the chosen creature type. If it spots a creature of the chosen type, it immediately begins shouting loud enough to be heard within 30 feet as it runs back into its tin to hide.

SINNER’S ASHES

Wondrous Item, 35d

Crafting

Tanner

Components

Corpse of a mortal creature that had the Evil trait (Taxidermist)

Description

This small stark urn contains the ashen remains of an unholy humanoid. As an action, you can throw the urn up to 30 feet away where it shatters and produces a 20-foot radius black cloud of ash. This area is heavily obscured and any creature that ends its turn within the area must make a DC 13 Composure saving throw or take 2d4 necrotic damage. This ash cloud remains for 1 minute, until a moderate wind (at least 10 miles per hour) disperses the cloud in 4 rounds, or until a strong wind (20 or more miles per hour) disperses it in 1 round.

Alternatively, the ashes can be used as an ingestible poison. The urn contains enough ashes for a single dose, and any celestial that consumes them must make a DC 16 Composure saving throw , taking 5d8 necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Crafting

Tanner

Underclothes worn during both a battle and a dance (Any background Marchand)

Description

For the debonair gentleman or sophisticated lady who wishes to attend the ball in something respectable but still retain the safety of mind that armor provides, this set of padded leather armor is glamored with an illusion that makes it look like a finely-tailored suit or dress. This illusion does not hold up to physical scrutiny and any creature who physically interacts with the armor sees through the figment with a successful DC 10 Awareness check.

TIMEKEEPER GREMLIN

Wondrous Item, Attunement 1, 50d

Crafting

Tinker

Components

Inaccurate or broken stone sundial (Any background Religieux)

Description

Inside of this iron locket waits a Tiny ethereal green proto-homunculus endlessly counting to itself. The magical creature obeys very limited instructions but only when they relate to timekeeping. It counts the seconds, minutes, and hours accurately out loud as they pass, immediately losing count when interrupted.

TRUE WEIGHT GLOVES

Wondrous Item, 50d

Crafting

Weaver

Components

Ledger completely filled with accurate mercantile transaction records (Any background Marchand)

Description

This set of emerald green gloves are made from velvet with very fine silk stitching and function as a small scale. While wearing them, you can hold two objects in your hands and know the exact weight of the objects. The objects must be of a size and weight that allow you to hold your arms straight out with one in each open palm. While using the gloves to weigh objects, you can speak a command word that makes them disappear in a puff of green smoke if either object is counterfeit.

UNLIVING RUNE

Wondrous Item, 75d

Crafting

Tinker

Components

Gilded manuscript ruined by giant octopus ink (Caligrapher)

Description

Found in desecrated holy texts, an unliving rune is a Tiny construct of negative energy resembling a splotch of darkly glowing ink. The rune can be applied to your skin much like a temporary tattoo, and while attached you can channel negative energy into an attack. On a successful hit with a melee weapon attack you can use your reaction to activate the rune, dealing an additional 1d4 necrotic damage and preventing the target from regaining hit points until the start of your next turn. You can’t do so again until you finish a short or long rest.

The rune feeds on your vitality while attached to your skin. You gain a slightly sickly appearance, and the rune reduces your Hit Dice maximum by 1. During a short rest , you can peel the rune off your skin, taking 1d6 necrotic damage. The rune can be stored in a book instead of your skin but offers no benefit unless attached to you. When exposed to direct sunlight for a minute or more, the rune is destroyed. While it is attached to you any senses or divinations that can detect undead incorrectly detect you as undead.

As an action you can place the rune on a humanoid corpse that has died within the last 8 hours. The rune is destroyed as its magic is absorbed by the corpse, animating it as a zombie . When placing the rune, you can feed it a portion of your life force by spending hit points. The zombie obeys your spoken commands and is friendly to you and your companions for 1 round per hit point you spent when placing the rune. At the end of this duration it becomes hostile to all living creatures.

WAYSTONE

Wondrous Item, 50d

Crafting

Mason

Components

Stone kept in a traveler’s pocket for a journey of at least 100 miles (Any background Vagabond)

Description

This rounded oval stone has a metallic gray luster. When one or more waystones are kept in contact for an hour or longer, they become paired and magnetically attracted to each other for 1 week per hour spent in contact. Paired waystones are ideal for use as trail markers, for tracking purposes, or to prevent yourself from becoming lost. You can use an action to speak its command word, making the waystone sense and be drawn toward the nearest waystone within 5 miles, or if it is paired to another waystone within range, the paired waystone. Paired waystones are only able to sense each other.

A waystone has 3 charges and regains 1 charge after a long rest. You may expend 1 charge when speaking its command word to increase the waystone’s range by 25 miles, or if the waystone is paired, to sense the nearest unpaired waystone within 5 miles. When used in either manner, the waystone’s attraction lasts until the next dawn. If you expend the last charge, the waystone becomes a mundane item.

Wondrous Item, 35d

Crafting

Tanner

Components

Tavern sign stolen while drunk (Mason, or a big party)

Description

This golden-brown parchment has an odd handle-like wooden stave and a seal marked with an ale tankard. As a bonus action, you can break the seal and unfurl the map. When you do so, the map fills in with accurate topography in a 1-mile radius around you. A miniature image of you appears at the map’s center along with a dotted line leading to an X that marks the nearest potable alcohol. The map immediately rolls back up if brought within 50 feet of alcohol or if no alcohol is within 1 mile when the seal is opened.

Once used in this way, the seal reforms and is usable again after 24 hours.

Alternatively, you can form a cylinder with the map and grasp it by the handle as an action. If you do so, the map hardens into a tall wooden tankard and magically fills with high quality ale, then loses all magical properties and becomes a mundane object.

BARROW BREAD

Crafting

Alchemist

Components

Rock salt licked by a basilisk (Miner)

Description

The magic is contained in the plantain leaves that are wrapped around the barrow bread. Once unwrapped, the barrow bread itself can be consumed (as 1 Supply) within 15 minutes before the outside elements spoil it.

Alternatively, you can use an action to tear up the contract and release the undead spirit. The spirit appears as a friendly specter you can telepathically command (as a bonus action) for as long as you maintain concentration . The specter acts immediately after your turn. If your concentration is broken, the specter attacks you and your companions. Otherwise the specter disappears 10 minutes after it is summoned, vanishing to whichever afterlife awaits it.

Components

Noted praises to a composer (the composer must be present for at least 1 hour of the item’s creation time)

Description

This music sheet of fine parchment documents musical notation of a fey performance. Humming, whistling, or using an instrument to play the opening three notes causes the sheet music to issue the sounds of a hauntingly beautiful musical performance for 10 minutes. Up to 6 creatures of your choice that are within 30 feet of the sheet and able to hear the entire performance gain 2 temporary hit points. A creature can’t gain temporary hit points from the music sheet again until it completes a long rest , and after using this feature you cannot do so again until you finish a short or long rest.

During a short rest, you can spend an hour to amend the music sheet with pen and ink to alter its melody and mood. Regardless of the changes you make to the sheet, the notation remains legible and the music is always lovely.

If you accompany the music, using an instrument or singing with a DC 12 charisma skill check (based on the mood), you can empower its magic. Up to 6 creatures of your choice that are within 30 feet of you and able to hear the entire performance regain 3 hit points and gain 6 temporary hit points.

Crafting

Tinker

Components

Compass broken in anger (Any background Vagabond)

Description

This tiny ethereal silver proto-homunculus sits in a clamshell container along with a miniature cup of water and a single thin needle. When prompted with a bonus action, the gremlin uses the old cup and needle trick to try and find magnetic north, although it is not particularly good at this. Whenever the gremlin tries to find true north, roll a d10, and on a result of a 1 it gets confused, pointing in the exact opposite direction instead.

At the end of each of its turns, a creature poisoned by the flask can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success. When you expend a charge, roll a d20.

Crafting

Tanner

Components

Gloves worn by a stage magician for at least one performance (Culture Phénandre)

Description

Stage magic may not be as impressive as true wizardry but it can still delight an audience and that’s where these supple gray leather gloves got their start, but con artists and thieves find uses for them as well. While wearing both of these gloves, once per minute you can teleport an item, up to the size of a dagger, from one hand to the other.

The gloves can teleport an item a longer distance, but their magic is forever exhausted in the process. When you wear one glove and another creature within 120 feet wears the other, you can teleport an item up to the size of a dagger into the hand of the creature wearing the other glove. If you do, the gloves dry and crack, losing their magic and becoming mundane items.

Alternatively, you can exhaust the lockpicks’ magic completely to borrow a skill or memory from a previous user. You can choose to either watch 10 minutes of a previous user’s memory (taken from the span of time they had the lockpicks in their possession) or for 10 minutes you can gain one skill, tool, or language proficiency of the previous user.

Once you have worn the jewelry for 24 hours, the face carved in relief on the cameo resembles your biological mother. When the cameo is destroyed, the spirit of the image carved in the cameo is summoned so long as the person featured on the cameo is dead (if the person is alive, destroying the cameo has no effect.) The spirit remains for up to 10 minutes and is able to communicate with speech but otherwise unable to affect the Material Plane.

MIDNIGHT PEARLS

Wondrous Item, 95d

Crafting

Tinker

Components

Crushed mother of pearl that has been sunk in the ocean past the reach of sunlight (Taxidermist)

Description

These lustrous black pearl earrings would look at home on a socialite but are rumored to have originated with a treacherous pirate captain. They always appear wet and give the air nearby the slightest taste of saltwater. You do not require pierced ears to wear the earrings and when placed against the lobe they naturally stick to your skin. In addition to being highly fashionable, they can also help escape a tough jam.

You can use an action to drop and stomp on one of these earrings, destroying it as a cloud of darkness erupts in a 5-foot radius and extends 10 feet in every direction for 1d4 rounds.

Roughly half of this 120 page book is blank scratch paper, and the other half is a calendar of the current year. The gremlin writes down anything you ask it to and even takes down dictation if requested. It will also mark reminders in the calendar and circle dates. Despite its love for writing however, its penmanship is quite poor, it doesn’t actually understand what anything it’s writing actually means, and any word with 3 or more syllables is always misspelled. Accurately understanding anything the gremlin has written requires a DC 10 Intelligence check.

PERDITA RAVENWING’S TRUE NAME

Wondrous Item, Attunement 1, 95d

Crafting

Caligrapher

Components

Parchment cured at The Bleak Gate in Passage (Oni)

Description

This slip of parchment contains the magically bound name “Agnes Nittworthy” surrounded by occult symbols and raven feathers. While you are attuned to it, you can use a bonus action to invoke the name on this parchment to summon a vision of a powerful and ancient hag beside you for 1 minute. Agnes acts aloof and mysterious but becomes oddly motherly around the young or incompetent. Once a vision is summoned in this way, it cannot be summoned again for the next 24 hours.

You can use an action to verbally direct the vision to do any of the following:

• Create ominous noises or effects (as thaumaturgy ).

• Magically poison up to a pound of food within 5 feet. Any creature that consumes this poisoned food must make a DC 13 Fortitude saving throw or become poisoned for 10 minutes.

• Mimic animal sounds or the voices of specific humanoids. A creature that hears the sounds can tell they are imitations with a successful DC 13 Insight check.

Alternatively, as an action while the vision is summoned you can agree to revoke your claim on Perdita in exchange for her direct assistance. When you do so the parchment crumbles into dust and for the next minute the vision curses a creature of your choice within 30 feet (as bestow curse , save DC 13) after which she disappears.
Once you have revoked your claim in this way, you can never invoke Perdita’s true name ever again.

QUICK CANOE PADDLE

Wondrous Item, 75d

Crafting

Tanner

Components

Giant octopus ink (Taxidermist)

Description

This cocowood paddle has a long handle with a short but wide blade designed for long ocean voyages by canoe. Coats of lacquer on the paddle cause it to reflect light causing it to have an almost mirrored finish in the glare of the sun, and from a glance it’s hard to believe that it has ever spent a minute in the water.

This paddle has 2 charges and regains 1 charge each dawn. You can speak its command word as an action while using a water vehicle, doubling the vehicle’s speed until the start of your next turn. If you expend the last charge, roll a d20. On a result of 5 or less, the paddle loses its magical properties and becomes a mundane item.

SCRAP OF FORBIDDEN TEXT

Wondrous Item, Attunement 1, 80d

Crafting

Caligrapher

Components

Diary of a adventurer that has suffered Tier 2 or higher madness (Any background Mystique)

Description

This page of nonsense was torn from the diary of someone not well. As you focus on the strange symbols they begin to make a strange sort of sense—revealing hidden truths about the world. You can use an action to study the fragment of text to gain an expertise die on an Arcana or Old World check. You can’t do so again until you finish a short rest.

If instead of studying the paper, you can use an action to eat it to automatically succeed on an Arcana or Old World check. You can wait until after making the check before deciding to eat the scrap of forbidden text, but you must decide before the Narrator says whether the roll succeeds or fails.

Eating the scrap might draw the attention of aberrant creatures looking to involve you in their schemes.

SHOULDER DRAGON BROOCH

Wondrous Item, Attunement 1, 100d

Crafting

Smith

Components

Pseudodragon’s scale (Taxidermist)

Description

Once attuned to this intricate golden brooch, you can imagine up to one dragon of your choice and a Tiny-sized illusion of it appears on your shoulders. The dragon looks lifelike and it occasionally flies, snaps at insects, and generally behaves in a dragon-like way. This illusion does not hold up to physical scrutiny and any creature who physically interacts with the dragon sees through the illusion with a successful DC 12 Awareness check. You can use a bonus action to dismiss the illusion.

As a bonus action, you can have your dragon illusion attack a creature within 5 feet of you. That creature must make a DC 12 Reflex saving throw , taking 1d4 damage of a type of your choice (fire, lightning, cold, or acid) on a failed save or half as much on a successful one. Once you have used this feature, it cannot be used again for 24 hours.

SNAKE-EYE BONES

Wondrous Item, 55d

Crafting

Tanner

Components

Skeleton of a poisonous snake (Taxidermist)

Description

Every trip to sea can become boring and one of the best ways to whittle away at the time—besides drinking rum—is to engage in a game of bones. Not every sailor on the high seas is honest and these dice were crafted with the devious amongst them in mind. Each six-sided die is made from bleached white bone and inlaid with jet-black markings. No matter how many times they are thrown or the number of ship hulls they strike, the dice never nick or scuff, and their markings do not fade.

The dice have 2 charges and regain 1 charge each dawn. When you speak the command word as a bonus action as the dice are being rolled, their results come up as double ones (or snake-eyes). When you expend a charge, roll a d6. On a result of 1, the dice will roll up as double ones but both dice then crack in half rendering them useless.

TOME OF THE ENDLESS TALE

Wondrous Item, 50d

Crafting

Tanner

Components

Writing quill used at least once by a published fiction author (Caligrapher)

Description

The stresses of a wizard’s education can overwhelm even the most stalwart apprentices without some sort of diversion. Typically resembling a small, worn book with fanciful creatures or locales on battered leather covers, the tome’s pages fill with serialized stories that engage and distract the reader. Each tome focuses on a given genre (often romance or adventure) but the stories crafted within the pages are unique to each reader, tailored by the magic from their own imagination and so vibrant that the book’s tales seem to come to life in the mind’s eye.

Each tome has 3 charges. When you speak the command word and use an action to expend 1 charge, its pages fill with a serial story tailored to the next reader that touches the tome. This story typically takes 1 hour to read, continuing from where the last tale completed.

When you speak another command word and use an action to expend all 3 charges, the story created when the book is opened is particularly engrossing and the reader must succeed on a DC 10 Sanity saving throw or be enthralled, failing to notice anything that is not directly harmful.

The tome has 3 charges and regains 1d3 charges each dawn. If you expend the last charge, roll a d20. On a result of 5 or less, the tome loses its magic and becomes a mundane item.

VIAL OF BEAUTY

Potion, 60d

Crafting

Alchemist

Components

Gift freely given

Description

After spending 1 minute applying this pale lavender lotion to your skin, you can change one small detail of your appearance for the next 24 hours (like the color of your eyes or skin, the length or color of your hair, or an added cosmetic detail such as pointed ears or small horns).

WAND OF THE SCRIBE

Arcane Focus, Attunement 1, 75d

Crafting

Tanner

Components

Personal journal or diary regularly kept for at least a year (Caligrapher)

Description

(requires attunement by a bard or wizard)

Nearly half the size of most other wands, this arcane implement is a solid piece of mithral with a tapered point that resembles the nib of a writing quill. While you are attuned to the wand, you can write on parchment and similar surfaces that would hold ink as though using an ordinary quill. The wand never runs out of ink when used this way.

The wand of the scribe has 1d6 charges and regains 1d3 charges after a long rest. You can expend 1 charge from the wand to cast illusory script . You can also expend 1 charge from the wand to create a copy of any mundane document, substituting an Arcana check for any ability check you would normally make. Finally, you can expend 2 charges from the wand to transcribe 1 minute of conversation that you can hear. You do not need to understand the language being spoken, and can choose to write it in any language that you know.

If you expend the wand’s last charge, roll a d20. On a result of 5 or less, the wand bursts causing ink to stain your hand and the front of any clothing you are wearing as the enchanted trinket breaks apart.

WIG OF STYLING

Wondrous Item, 15d

Crafting

Weaver

Components

Full head of hair shaved from an elf (Bald Elf)

Description

This wig has 2 charges and regains 1 charge each dawn. While wearing the wig, you can use an action to expend 1 charge to change the length, style, and color of the wig. Whenever you expend a charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the wig is fixed in its current length, style, and color, becoming a mundane item.
