A hand landed on my shoulder, stopping me. “You will not put your head around that corner,” he whispered.
Scroll of Infusion Scroll, very rare Weight:0.1 lb. A seemingly blank scroll that crackles with psychic power. Allows a character with Spell Casting Ability to learn a new spell from any list. To learn a spell, the user must possesses it in scroll form. They will first use this scroll and then use the scroll of the desired spell. When the ritual is complete (1 hour), they can add the new spell to their known spells list without counting it against their maximum. It will also leave them with a brutal headache (take 1 level of exhaustion.) (By Travis)
Wand of Brutal Stumbling Wand, rare (Requires Attunement) Weight:0.1 lb. Charges:3 Recharge:1d4-1 A crooked finger which gives the holder a slight urge to cackle at the misfortune of their enemies. For 1 charge, the user can cast hex (dexterity) on a target as a bonus action. The wand regains 1d3 charges at dawn every day. (By Travis)
Polishing Kit of Distort Value Wondrous Item, rare Weight:3 lb. Just some brushes, oils, select pigments, and scrubbies. What harm could this do? This isn't just any old polishing kit. When the brushes are used counter-clockwise in a certain order, it casts Distort Value upon the object being polished. (Within the normal limits of the spell.) It can perform this magic trick once per day. That's it. That's all it does. (By Travis)
Gauntlets of Metoric Throwing Armor (Gauntlets), rare (Requires Attunement) Weight:5 lb. Gear Slots:Hands It's all in the wrists. Allows the wearer to throw any weapon they have proficiency with up to 30ft/60ft as if it had the thrown tag. (By Travis)
Ring of the Cat Ring, very rare Weight:0.1 lb. A band of black metal shaped like a lounging cat. It's tail wraps around the wearer's finger to touch the cat's nose. Boop! Once per long rest, the wearer can turn into a CR 0 cat with a cat’s physical abilities, perception, keen smell, claws, and stealth. Your intelligence, wisdom, and charisma are unchanged. You cannot cast spells while in this form. You cannot speak unless the target can speak with animals. You will revert if the ring comes off, if you take more than 2 damage, or as a bonus action. Lasts 1 hour. (By Travis)
King's 100-Tonne-Press Scalemail Armor, very rare Category:Medium Armor AC:14 + Dex (Max 2) Stealth:Disadvantage Weight:45lbs (oh but so much more) lb. For some reason, all the scales on this armor have tiny little "down" arrows etched into them. Functions as normal scale mail BUT As a bonus action the wearer can magnify their weight. This drops their speed to 0 and they have advantage on rolls vs knockback/prone until this effect is canceled as another bonus action. If the character FALLS on a target during this time, the character deals 2d6 and takes 1d6 bludgeoning damage per 10ft fallen. (Max of 40d6/20d6 respectively.) If the user falls on someone (10ft min height) while also making a melee attack that hits, the target must make a STR save or be knocked prone (use the attack roll as the DC.)
Rimworld video game where a colony has so much megasloth meat that it's overflowed into a sea of steak icons.
Dawn Healer's Kit Wondrous Item, uncommon Weight:3 lb. Charges:4 Recharge:1d4 The leather case is laced with gold and stamped with the symbol of a sunburst. It feels warm to the touch, as if someone left it on an afternoon bench in the park. This is a healer's kit fueled by Solara's blessings every morning in order to conjure its salves, sutures, and bandages. (It regains 1d4 uses at sunrise.) (By Travis)
Marbles of Flaming Doom Wt: 0.1lb A dark glassy marble that pulses with deep inner warmth. When a marble of flaming doom is thrown down, it becomes a Flaming Sphere (3rd level, DC18) under control of the thrower. No concentration. Spheres last for 1 minute.
Ring of the Man'Dalorian Wt: 0.1kg Charges: 4 Recharge: 1d4/day When worn, this extra-planar ring can be used to cast the following spells. Jump (1 charge) Flameblade (1 charge) Burning Hands. DC 14. (2 charges)
At the end of each round, the Avatar of Death unleashes a devastating eye beam at all creatures within 60ft of that it can see and who are standing. The beam requires a DC 18 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 21 (6d6) necrotic damage and is restrained by shadowy tendrils until the start of the Revenant's next turn. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and isn't restrained. Creatures know this attack is coming and can choose to drop prone as a free action regardless of their turn.
