The players in my biweekly group just finished up a tomb that took most of the late summer to complete. I thought I'd share all the new magic items that came to them during their delving. Here you go!
Axe of Focus
The wooden haft of this +1 axe is covered in Dwarvish lettering inlaid with gold. It reads, “In the battle, it is you alone I see.” Once per day, the wielder may choose as the axe’s sworn enemy any creature in the wielder’s line of sight. Any successful attack against that creature does an additional 1d6 damage. Even if that creature dies, the axe may not be given another sworn enemy until the next dawn. If a new sworn enemy is given to the axe, it loses its advantages over any previous sworn enemy.
Bow of Magic Missiles
Once every three rounds, this +1 short bow is able to shoot a magic missile that strikes it target automatically for 1d4+1 damage.
Bracelet of Success
When wearing this ring, all failed “to hit” rolls and saving throws have a 1-in-6 chance of succeeding, regardless of the original roll. Additionally, once per week, a single roll of the player’s choosing succeeds. This use must be announced by the player before the roll is made. Alternately, the player may relinquish that guaranteed success for a 50% chance to succeed (after the fact) on a roll that failed.
Cap of Solitude
This calotte of blue fabric adorned with with pearls provides user a +1 AC bonus, as well as the following abilities: invisibility (as ring; usable at will); silence (15' radius; centered on wearer; usable at will but requires complete concentration to maintain); and hold portal (as MU spell; 1×/day).
Crown of Chills
The surface of this 1" wide band of light-blue steel has a frosty appearance, and the item itself is cool to the touch. Three times per day, it provide the ability of an icy gaze; any creature within the wearer’s line of sight must save vs. spells or be frozen in place for 1d4+1 rounds. This may be used as a free action against a melee opponent. Additionally, once per day, it provides the ability of icy breath. This is a cone of cold that is 10' long and 5' wide at it's terminus. All caught in its path take 4d4 cold damage (a save vs. breath havles this damage).
Daydream
The distinguishing physical feature of this stunning, steely white sword is its guard, which features a pair angel wings, inlaid with silver. The sword is neutral, has in Intelligence of 6, and communicates with simple urges (it desires to cause dream). On a successful “to hit” roll, the target must save vs. spells or be in a daydream daze for 1 round (unable to act). Additionally, once per day, the sword is able to emit a dreamwave. All living, sentient creatures within a 10' radius must save vs. paralysis or fall into a daydream state for 1d4 rounds. While in this state, they imagine themselves as the wielder and are unable to perform any other actions until the state ends. The sword also allows the owner the ability to dream travel (as the 6th level magic-user spell) for up to 8 hours.
Gloves of Repulsion
These gloves of pebbly brown leather are brutally ugly, with poorly cut swatches and uneven stitching. The gloves are cursed, lowering the owner’s Charisma by 3 while in their possession. They cannot be given away (due to curse) but they can be removed (though the Charisma penalty remains). However, while worn, they provide the wearer a –3 AC bonus. Removing the curse also removes the AC bonus, and would render them no more than an ugly pair of gloves.
Mirror Mace
+1 mace; each successful strike creates a mirror image of the user. Mirror images created in this manner persist for 1 turn or until struck by an attack (whichever comes first). Additionally once per day, the mace can create 1d4+1 mirror images that persist for 6 turns or until struck.
Putrid Pendant
Usable 3x/day. Gives off a revolting, stomach-twisting stench. Living creatures within 10' of the wearer must save vs. poison or be sickened for 5 rounds (–2 on attack and save rolls). Creatures that successfully save cannot be affected by the same item for 24 hours.
Ring of Clarity
This silver band inlaid with diamond chips provides the wearer immunity to all nature of confusion effects of (including poisons, magic, psionics, etc.).
Ring of Intimidation
3x times per day, allows the wearer to weaken an opponent’s resolve in combat through intimidation (no saving throw allowed). This may only be used used against a melee opponent with whom the character is engaged, and who can see the character. The opponent becomes shaken for 3 rounds, suffering a –2 penalty on attack rolls and saving throws. An opponent can only be intimidated once per encounter.
Soulstealing Gem
Once per day, this chunk of black quartz allows the user to trap a target creature’s soul (and material presence) in the gem for a duration of 1 hour. The target must be with a range of 30', and they are permitted a save vs. spells to avoid the effect. On a failed save, the creature and everything they are holding/carrying are “sucked” into the gem. After 1 hour, the gem will “spit back out” the creature and its belongings. This item does not work on green (psionic) tigers.
Wight’s Finger
Appears as a shriveled black finger strung from a black leather string. On each successful melee attack, the wearer drains 1 additional hit point from the target and replaces one lost hit point of their own. Additionally, once per day, the the finger allows the wearer to drain 1d6+1 hit from a target to replace lost hit points of their own. This is automatic against willing targets. A successful “to hit” roll is required for unwilling targets. A failed “to hit” roll does not discharge this ability for the day.
