Magic Items

Instrument of the Bards, Canaith Mandolin
Wondrous item, instrument, major tier, rare (requires attunement by a bard)

An instrument of the bards is an exquisite example of its kind, superior to an ordinary instrument in every way. Seven types of these instruments exist, each named after a legendary bard college. A creature that attempts to play the instrument without being attuned to it must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or take 2d4 psychic damage.

You can use an action to play the instrument and cast one of its spells. Once the instrument has been used to cast a spell, it can't be used to cast that spell again until the next dawn. The spells use your spellcasting ability and spell save DC.

You can play the instrument while casting a spell that causes any of its targets to be charmed on a failed saving throw, thereby imposing disadvantage on the save. This effect applies only if the spell has a somatic or a material component.

All instruments of the bards can be used to cast the following spells: fly, invisibility, levitate, and protection from evil and good.

In addition, the Canaith mandolin can be used to cast cure wounds (3rd level), dispel magic, and protection from energy (lightning only).

See the Tool Proficiencies entry for more information.

Amulet of Health
Wonderous Item, Rare, Requires Attunement

Your Constitution score is 19 while you wear this amulet. It has no effect on you if your Constitution score is already 19 or higher.

This amulet made up of a bloodstone flanked by troll fangs. The cord that holds it is made of troll hide. Characters who wear this amulet tend to feel invincible when entering melee combat, but they have an aversion to fire. It’s almost as if they think they are vulnerable to fire.

DOHWAR PLUSHIE (TALKING DOLL)
Wondrous Item, common (requires attunement)

While this stuffed doll is within 5 feet of you, you can spend a short rest telling it to say up to six phrases, none of which can be more than six words long, and you can set a condition under which the doll speaks each phrase. You can also replace old phrases with new ones.

Whatever the condition, it must occur within 5 feet of the doll to make it speak.

For example, whenever someone picks up the doll, it might say, “I want a piece of candy.” The doll’s phrases are lost when your attunement to the doll ends.

This item is found in Xanathar’s Guide to Everything.

Special: This plush doll resembles an armored Dohwar Protector with a silver weega in its beak and a lance in its hand. The doll’s magic is a little faulty and it exhibits the Muttering quirk. The dohwar grumbles and mumbles to itself. A creature who listens carefully to the item might learn something useful.

SMOKEPOWDER
Wondrous item, uncommon

Smokepowder is a magical explosive chiefly used to propel a bullet out of the barrel of a firearm. It is stored in airtight wooden kegs or tiny, waterproof leather packets. A packet contains enough smokepowder for five shots, and a keg holds enough smokepowder for five hundred shots. If smokepowder is set on fire, dropped, or otherwise handled roughly, it explodes and deals fire damage to each creature or object within 20 feet of it: 1d6 for a packet, 9d6 for a keg. A successful DC 12 Dexterity saving throw halves the damage. Casting dispel magic on smokepowder renders it permanently inert.
