Magic Items

Description

Requires attunement by a creature of non-lawful alignment.

This hand crossbow looks to have seen better times. The wood is cracked and splintered and the string is heavily-frayed. A large, blue feather hangs from the handgrip alongside a couple green, glass baubles. The crossbow whispers warnings to its bearer, granting a +2 bonus to initiative if the bearer isn't incapacitated.

Sentience. Nettle is a sentient chaotic neutral weapon with an Intelligence of 15, a Wisdom of 10, and a Charisma of 14. It has hearing and darkvision out to a range of 120 feet. Nettle speaks Common and Halfling.

Personality. Nettle is greedy and impetuous, and prefers that its wielder share these ideals. It demands to be better taken care of than its previous owners did. If its bearer is lawfully-aligned, or if its bearer does not spend at least an hour each day tending to it (polishing, applying resin to the string, etc.), Nettle denies its bonuses to attack and damage rolls and initiative checks. It also shouts out insults to those nearby, imposing disadvantage on any Charisma (Deception or Persuasion) checks or Dexterity (Stealth) check that its wielder makes to move silently.

Weapon (quarterstaff), rare (requires attunement)
The smooth wood of this ordinary‐looking staff is
pale, and streaked with multi‐colored veins. The staff
is capped with a hollow, glass sphere that creates an
illusory holy symbol of whichever deity the wielder
worships. Luminescent butterflies flit around the
staff’s cap and while in possession of the staff, the
wielder feels fortunate and optimistic about what the
future holds. A description of this item can be found
in the Dungeon Master’s Guide.
