STARTING PLAY AT 5TH LEVEL. You may choose to create a 5th level character instead of starting at 1st level. As a 5th level character, you may choose one of the following magic items to possess in addition to your standard gear from your class and background.
Added 10 gp from Outlander background.

Qilin’s Ring (Ring of Free Action). Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement). This golden ring is forged from the scale of a Ki-rin; it is said to bless its bearer with luck and fortune. Guardian. The item neighs a warnings to its bearer, granting a +2 bonus to initiative if the bearer isn’t incapacitated.

Samsara Cup (Keoghtom's Ointment). Wondrous item, uncommon. The smell of smoked hay infused with spicy notes emanates from the golden fiery liquid.

Rapier of the Dark Huntsman (Rapier of Life Stealing). Weapon, rare (requires attunement). This matte-black rapier does not reflect light. It radiates a faint fiendish aura, and turns chill to the touch when within 30 feet of a good-aligned cleric or paladin. Once attuned, the wielder often feels hungry, even if they have just eaten. However, when the life stealing power is used, the wielder experiences an invigorating euphoria and feels satiated. The blade glows dully when it has fed.

Staff of the Woodlands. Weapon (quarterstaff), rare. This item has been meticulously trimmed and tended to in such a way that it appears to be a smaller version of one of the immense jungle trees in Chult. The staff’s creator even went so far as to create a small diorama of what looks like a tiny village in the upper reaches of the staff’s branches—complete with tiny, string bridges connecting tiny, straw houses.

Eversmoking Bottle. Wondrous item, uncommon. This bottle of spun glass is decorated with images of battling dragons and giants‐‐trampling the homes and lives of small folk underfoot. When the stopper is removed, the smoke smells of burning wood and flesh and is accompanied by the sound of weeping.

Cloak of the Bat. Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement). This leathery cloak is made of the small, green scales of a pteranodon. When attuned to, the wearer gains a powerful appetite for fish.

Shortsword +1. Weapon (shortsword), uncommon. This weapon has a basket hilt is forged to resemble a woman draped in kelp and nets‐‐similar in appearance to that of a ship’s figurehead. When used in battle, the woman sings a rather obscene sea shanty audible to anyone within 30 feet.

Purchased Yklwa +1 (500 gp).

Purchased NPC spellcasting (Greater Restoration, 450 gp).

Hero of Port Nyanzaru. You helped the merchant princes of Port Nyanzaru defeat Captain Smoke’s pirate armada, and you’re now known as a hero throughout the city. You gain advantage on Charisma checks when dealing with the merchant princes. If you start a session within Port Nyanzaru, you gain advantage on the first attack roll or saving throw that you make.

Hook for a Hand. A pirate chopped off your hand, and you replaced it with a rusty hook. Your unarmed attacks now deal 1d6 piercing damage. While you wear the hook, you can hold only a single object at a time. You have disadvantage on attacks made with weapons that use two hands. Magic such as the regenerate spell can restore the lost appendage and remove this story award.

Traded Edward's Rapier of the Dark Huntsman for a Quarterstaff +2 via the Trading Post at DDEP07-01 Peril at the Port.
