Magic Items

Belt of Hill Giant Strength, Wondrous Item, Rare (Requires Attunement)

While wearing this belt, your Strength score changes to 21. The item has no effect on you if your Strength without the belt is equal to or greater than the belt's score.

A brutal relic from the age when Garut still drew breath—before he was wrapped in funerary linen and rose again as a Mummy Lord beneath his ruined temple. Even now, the belt doesn’t feel “worn” so much as claimed.

Appearance

A broad war-girdle of blackened oxhide and bronze plates, big enough to look slightly too heavy for any sane person. The buckle is a snarling bull’s head with curled horns, its eyes set with dull carnelian that catch torchlight like embers. Along the inner lining, the leather is stitched with a tight band of aged linen—funerary wrappings taken from Garut’s own rites.

The belt smells faintly of old incense, iron, and sun-baked dust.

The feel of it

When you tighten it, the leather cinches with a sound like a distant drumbeat, and for a moment you feel a phantom weight settle across your shoulders—like standing under the gaze of a wrathful god. Your muscles don’t merely strengthen; they harden, as if your body remembers a lifetime of siege and slaughter.

Anyone close enough can hear it sometimes: a low, half-swallowed bovine growl that could be a creak of leather… or a warning.

Magic tells

Warmth: The buckle grows warm when blood is spilled nearby, even a drop.

Echoes: In silence, you catch the faintest sound of hooves on stone when you take your first step after donning it.

Shadow: Your shadow broadens subtly at the shoulders and neck—hinting at horns that aren’t there.

Whispered legend (in-world lore)

Garut was a war cleric who preached that mercy was a lie told by the weak. He marched at the head of raiders and zealots, taking offerings in steel and screaming prayer. When his body failed, his faithful embalmed him in the deepest chambers of his temple so his wrath could outlast death.

The belt was his “girdle of vows.” Some say each plate bears a promise: vengeance, dominion, sacrifice, hunger.

Optional attunement quirk (pure flavor, no mechanics)

While attuned, you can’t quite stop squaring your stance like a fighter ready to charge. When someone challenges your strength or authority, you feel a reflexive urge to meet it head-on.

While wearing this cloak, you can take a Bonus Action to make it billow dramatically for 1 minute.

This item has the Guardian minor property: The item whispers warnings to its bearer, granting a +2 bonus to initiative if the bearer isn’t incapacitated.

Wondrous Item, Common

The blue crystal of this earring is wrapped with delicate copper wire. The earring has 5 charges. While wearing it, you can use an action to expend 1 charge and cast the message spell. The earring regains 1d4 + 1 expended charges daily at dawn.

Food and other perishable items do not age or decay while inside a Chest of Preserving. The chest is 2½ feet long, 1½ feet wide, and 1 foot tall with a half-barrel lid. The chest has a lock, which can be picked with thieves' tools and a successful DC 15 Dexterity check. Smashing the lock or any other part of the chest renders it nonmagical.

Songcraft. Whenever this item is opened, you hear a heartwarming and caring lullaby.

Wondrous item, uncommon (requires attunement)
While this polished agate is on your person, you gain a +1 bonus to ability checks and saving throws.

Wondrous item, uncommon

These crystal lenses fit over the eyes. While wearing them, you can see much better than normal out to a range of 1 foot. You have advantage on Intelligence (Investigation) checks that rely on sight while searching an area or studying an object within that range.

Armor (Chain Mail), uncommon

Mithral is a light, flexible metal. A mithral chain shirt or breastplate can be worn under normal clothes. If the armor normally imposes disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks or has a Strength requirement, the mithral version of the armor doesn’t.

Wondrous item, uncommon (requires attunement)
While you wear these boots, your Speed becomes 30 feet unless your Speed is higher, and your Speed isn't reduced by you carrying weight in excess of your carrying capacity or wearing Heavy Armor.

Once on each of your turns, you can jump up to 30 feet by spending only 10 feet of movement.

Wondrous Item, uncommon (+1), (Requires Attunement by a Monk)

This finely detailed belt is made of dragonhide. While wearing it, you gain a bonus to the saving throw DCs of your ki features. The bonus is determined by the belt’s rarity. In addition, you can use an action to regain ki points equal to a roll of your Martial Arts die. You can’t use this action again until the next dawn.

Wondrous item, uncommon

While lit, this hooded lantern burns for 6 hours on 1 pint of oil, shedding bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light for an additional 30 feet. Invisible creatures and objects are visible as long as they are in the lantern’s bright light. You can use an action to lower the hood, reducing the light to dim light in a 5-foot radius.

Wondrous item, common

This item functions as a Pole. While holding it, you can take a Magic action to collapse it into a 1-foot-long rod for ease of storage (the pole's weight doesn't change) or cause the 1-foot-long rod to revert to a Pole. The rod elongates only as far as the surrounding space allows.

Guardian. The item whispers warnings to its bearer, granting a +2 bonus to initiative if the bearer isn't incapacitated.

Wondrous item, uncommon
1 lb.
This small sphere of thick glass weighs 1 pound. If you are within 60 feet of it, you can command it to emanate light equivalent to that of the Light or Daylight spell (your choice). Once used, the Daylight effect can't be used again until the next dawn.

You can issue another command as a Magic action to make the illuminated globe rise into the air and float no more than 5 feet off the ground. The globe hovers in this way until you or another creature grasps it. If you move more than 60 feet from the hovering globe, it follows you until it is within 60 feet of you. It takes the shortest route to do so. If prevented from moving, the globe sinks gently to the ground and becomes inactive, and its light winks out.

Wondrous item, rare

You can use an action to blow this horn. In response, warrior spirits from the plane of Ysgard appear within 60 feet of you. These spirits use the berserker statistics from the Monster Manual. They return to Ysgard after 1 hour or when they drop to 0 hit points. Once you use the horn, it can’t be used again until 7 days have passed.

Four types of horn of Valhalla are known to exist, each made of a different metal. The horn’s type determines how many berserkers answer its summons, as well as the requirement for its use. The DM chooses the horn’s type or determines it randomly.

If you blow the horn without meeting its requirement, the summoned berserkers attack you. If you meet the requirement, they are friendly to you and your companions and follow your commands.

d100 Horn Type Berserkers Summoned Requirement
01-40 Silver 2d4+2 None
41-75 Brass 3d4+3 Proficiency with all simple weapons
76-90 Bronze 4d4+4 Proficiency with all medium armor
91-00 Iron 5d4+5 Proficiency with all martial weapons

Wondrous item, rare

This object appears as a wooden box that measures 12 inches long, 6 inches wide, and 6 inches deep. It weighs 4 pounds and floats. It can be opened to store items inside. This item also has three command words, each requiring you to use an action to speak it.

One command word causes the box to unfold into a boat 10 feet long, 4 feet wide, and 2 feet deep. The boat has one pair of oars, an anchor, a mast, and a lateen sail. The boat can hold up to four Medium creatures comfortably.

The second command word causes the box to unfold into a ship 24 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 6 feet deep. The ship has a deck, rowing seats, five sets of oars, a steering oar, an anchor, a deck cabin, and a mast with a square sail. The ship can hold fifteen Medium creatures comfortably.

When the box becomes a vessel, its weight becomes that of a normal vessel its size, and anything that was stored in the box remains in the boat.

The third command word causes the folding boat to fold back into a box, provided that no creatures are aboard. Any objects in the vessel that can’t fit inside the box remain outside the box as it folds. Any objects in the vessel that can fit inside the box do so.

Armor (shield), rare

While holding this shield, you have a +2 bonus to AC. This bonus is in addition to the shield's normal bonus to AC.

A shield is made from wood or metal and is carried in one hand. Wielding a shield increases your Armor Class by 2. You can benefit from only one shield at a time.

Wand, rare (requires attunement by a spellcaster)

This wand has 7 charges. While holding it, you can use an action to expend 1 or more of its charges to cast the fireball spell (save DC 15) from it. For 1 charge, you cast the 3rd-level version of the spell. You can increase the spell slot level by one for each additional charge you expend.

The wand regains 1d6 + 1 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the wand’s last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the wand crumbles into ashes and is destroyed.

Wondrous item, rare

This delicate silver chain has a brilliant-cut black gem pendant. While you wear it, poisons have no effect on you. You are immune to the poisoned condition and have immunity to poison damage.

Weapon (Mace), rare

Simple weapon, melee weapon
4 lb.

1d6 Bludgeoning
Mastery: Sap
This magic weapon deals an extra 2d6 damage to any creature it hits. This extra damage is of the same type as the weapon's normal damage.

Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement)

Your Constitution score is 19 while you wear this amulet. It has no effect on you if your Constitution is already 19 or higher without it.

Weapon (sickle), rare (requires attunement by a druid or ranger)

This silver-bladed sickle glimmers softly with moonlight. While holding this magic weapon, you gain a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it, and you gain a bonus to spell attack rolls and the saving throw DCs of your druid and ranger spells. In addition, you can use the sickle as a spellcasting focus for your druid and ranger spells.

When you cast a spell that restores hit points, you can roll a d4 and add the number rolled to the amount of hit points restored, provided you are holding the sickle.
