Introduction to Relics
The reliquaries contained within this tome are far more than mere magical tools—they are repositories of
history, vessels of power, and often, companions with their own desires and agendas. Each artifact tells a
story, carries the imprint of its creators and previous owners, and continues to shape the world long after its
making.
Some items grow with their wielders, evolving as bonds deepen. Others test their bearers, demanding worthiness
before revealing their true nature. A few carry curses disguised as blessings, while the wisest relics serve as
teachers, slowly guiding their owners toward greater understanding.
These are but a few of previously discovered relics known through the ages. Some are surely real, other
possibly myth. But almost certainly many more await discovery.
Rarity Classifications:
Common: Minor enchantments, simple effects
Uncommon: Moderate power, useful abilities
Rare: Significant magical properties, world-changing potential
Legendary: Artifacts of immense power with far-reaching consequences
Afflictions System:
Unified System: All relics in this manual interact with The Krawl's unified afflictions system.
When relics mention effects like "poison," "disease," "curse," or mental states, they refer to specific
afflictions defined in the Afflictions Manual.
Relic-Affliction Interactions: Relics can create, remove, or interact with afflictions. For
example, some relics may inflict Cursed affliction, while others can remove Poisoned affliction or Diseased
affliction.
Rings of Power
Rings, worn close to the body and easily concealed, have long been favored vessels for subtle enchantments.
From simple cantrips to reality-altering powers, these circular treasures bind magic to flesh and will.
Type: Utility Ring
A simple brass band that creates an extradimensional pocket. The wearer can store small objects by
concentrating and "pushing" them into the ring, where they exist in a timeless void. Unfortunately, the ring
has a mischievous personality and occasionally returns the wrong item or adds objects it finds interesting.
Mechanical Effect: Store up to 20 small objects (dagger-sized or smaller). 10% chance per
retrieval of getting a random object instead of what you wanted. Objects retrieved may occasionally be
afflicted with Cursed affliction from previous owners.
Physical Appearance: A simple brass band worn smooth by countless hands, unremarkable except
for the way it seems slightly too large or small depending on the angle of view. When activated, the air above
the ring shimmers like heat waves, and objects seem to sink into nothingness when pushed toward it.
Occasionally, a faint glint of something metallic can be glimpsed in its depths.
Quirk: The ring collects shiny objects on its own, sometimes "borrowing" coins or jewelry
from nearby sources without the wearer's knowledge.
Type: Social Ring
This silver ring allows the wearer to hear whispered conversations within 30 feet, regardless of language
barriers. However, it cannot distinguish between important secrets and mundane gossip, flooding the wearer's
mind with everything from love confessions to grocery lists.
Mechanical Effect: Understand all whispered speech within 30 feet. +2 to social rolls when
information is relevant, -1 to Wisdom saves due to mental clutter.
Physical Appearance: A delicate silver band etched with tiny spiraling patterns that seem to
shift and writhe when examined closely. The surface bears microscopic engravings of lips, ears, and eyes that
appear to blink and whisper silently. When worn, the ring grows slightly warm and seems to pulse in rhythm
with nearby conversations.
Quirk: The wearer occasionally responds to conversations they shouldn't have heard, leading
to awkward social situations.
Type: Temporal Ring
This obsidian ring allows the wearer to "borrow" time from their future self, gaining extra actions in
critical moments. Each use ages the wearer slightly, and the borrowed time must eventually be repaid through
periods of enforced rest and contemplation.
Mechanical Effect: Once per day, take an extra action in combat. Each use adds one week to
your apparent age. The debt must be "paid" by spending quiet, restful time equal to the borrowed duration.
Physical Appearance: A band of deep black obsidian that seems to absorb light rather than
reflect it. Thin veins of silver run through the stone like frozen lightning, and within the ring's depths,
tiny hourglasses can be glimpsed turning endlessly. The ring feels heavier when unused, as if weighted down by
potential energy waiting to be released.
Consequence: Overuse can rapidly age the wearer or create temporal paradoxes where the user's
past and future selves begin to conflict.
Type: Protective Ring
When the wearer suffers damage, this ring automatically distributes a portion of it among willing allies
within 100 feet. The ring creates empathic bonds, allowing all connected individuals to feel each other's pain
and triumph, forging unbreakable friendships—or bitter resentments.
Mechanical Effect: Distribute up to half of any damage taken among willing allies. All
connected individuals gain +1 to morale-based saves but suffer -1 to individual stealth.
Physical Appearance: A simple iron band that appears unremarkable until worn, at which point
it reveals intricate engravings of interlinked chains and hands reaching toward each other. The metal warms to
the touch and develops a subtle bronze patina that spreads like veins across the surface when bonds are formed
with others.
Consequence: The empathic connection persists even when the ring is removed, creating
permanent emotional bonds between those who have shared significant pain.
Type: Authority Ring
This gold signet ring bears an ever-changing coat of arms that represents the wearer's growing authority and
accomplishments. Those who look upon it feel compelled to recognize the bearer's right to command. However,
power corrupts, and the ring slowly transforms its wearer's personality to match their growing authority.
Mechanical Effect: +3 to all social rolls involving authority or leadership. Gain
advantage on rolls to command followers or negotiate from a position of power. Ring's power grows with the
wearer's reputation and achievements.
Physical Appearance: A heavy gold signet ring bearing a coat of arms that shifts and changes
to reflect the wearer's accomplishments and growing authority. The heraldic symbols morph slowly—a simple
shield might sprout wings, add crowns, or develop new emblems as the wearer gains reputation. The gold itself
seems to grow richer and more lustrous with each deed.
Consequence: The wearer gradually becomes more authoritarian and less willing to accept
dissent, even from close friends. The ring may attract political enemies or ambitious allies seeking to
manipulate the bearer.
Type: Memory Ring
This crystal ring contains the preserved memories of its previous owners, allowing the current wearer to
access their knowledge, skills, and experiences as if they were their own. The memories feel completely real
and can be overwhelming, sometimes making the wearer unsure which memories truly belong to them.
Mechanical Effect: Access the skills and knowledge of previous owners. Once per day, gain
proficiency in any skill or knowledge area for one scene. Gain +2 to rolls related to historical events or
locations.
Physical Appearance: A translucent crystal ring that contains swirling mists and fleeting
images—faces, places, and moments from the lives of previous owners. The crystal shifts between clear and
cloudy, and observers often catch glimpses of memories that aren't their own. When worn, the ring grows warm
and the images become more vivid and insistent.
Consequence: The wearer may begin adopting personality traits, speech patterns, or even moral
beliefs from previous owners. In extreme cases, they might believe they ARE a previous owner.
Type: Creation Ring
Said to be forged by the gods themselves, this ring allows the wearer to reshape reality through force of will
and imagination. By concentrating intensely, they can bring new objects, creatures, or even concepts into
existence. However, each creation draws from the wearer's life force and understanding, potentially leaving
them diminished.
Mechanical Effect: Allows instant crafting or repair by inscribing the rune.
Complex tasks require an INT save vs. the Difficulty Level
(Easy 5 / Normal 10 / Hard 15), chosen by the DM based on intricacy.
Failure results in flawed output or items afflicted with Cursed affliction.
Physical Appearance: A ring of impossible beauty, appearing to be crafted from crystallized
starlight and divine inspiration. Its surface bears the tools of creation—tiny hammers, brushes, quills, and
instruments that move and shift across the band. The ring seems to exist in a state of constant creation, with
new details and embellishments appearing spontaneously.
Consequence: Great acts of creation may fundamentally alter the wearer's understanding of
reality, making them seem alien to normal society. The ring demands increasingly ambitious creations and may
eventually compel the wearer to attempt creating life itself.
Type: Cycle Ring
This ring appears as a serpent biting its own tail, crafted from an unknown black metal that seems to absorb
light. The wearer gains dominion over cycles—life and death, creation and destruction, order and chaos. They
can accelerate or slow natural processes, but each use brings them closer to understanding that they too are
part of an eternal cycle.
Mechanical Effect: Accelerate or slow any natural process (healing, aging, growth, decay)
within touch range. Can resurrect the recently dead or age enemies rapidly. Each use moves the wearer one
step closer to their own ordained transformation. Can remove Diseased affliction by accelerating the body's
natural healing.
Physical Appearance: A serpent of unknown black metal biting its own tail, forming a perfect
circle of eternal recursion. The serpent's scales seem to shift between creation and destruction—one moment
pristine and new, the next ancient and weathered. Its eyes are tiny gems that burn with the light of dying
stars, and looking into them reveals glimpses of endless cycles of birth, death, and rebirth.
Consequence: The ring gradually reveals the wearer's destined role in cosmic cycles. They may
be fated to become a guardian of balance, an agent of entropy, or something far stranger. Resistance to this
destiny becomes increasingly futile.
Wands & Rods
Wands and rods serve as focuses for magical energy, extending the caster's will into the world. These
implements range from simple channeling devices to semi-sentient artifacts with their own magical personalities.
Type: Utility Wand | Charges: 10 per day
This gnarled wooden wand produces harmless but annoying magical effects: untying shoelaces, souring milk,
making books fall open to embarrassing passages, or causing people to hiccup uncontrollably. Perfect for
pranks, terrible for serious situations.
Mechanical Effect: Create minor inconveniences and distractions. Can provide advantage on
stealth by creating diversions, or disadvantage to enemies' concentration. Effects are always harmless but
highly annoying.
Physical Appearance: A gnarled piece of driftwood about ten inches long, worn smooth by
countless hands and naturally twisted into amusing shapes. Tiny carved faces peek out from knots in the wood,
each wearing a different mischievous expression. The wand occasionally twitches on its own and seems to giggle
silently when no one is looking directly at it.
Quirk: The wand sometimes activates on its own when the wielder is bored, stressed, or
sleeping, leading to embarrassing or inconvenient situations.
Type: Social Rod | Charges: 3 per day
When activated, this brass rod whispers the perfect excuse for any situation directly into the wielder's mind.
The excuses are always technically true but become increasingly elaborate and ridiculous with repeated use,
eventually becoming more suspicious than the original transgression.
Mechanical Effect: Gain advantage on deception rolls to avoid blame or consequences. Each
subsequent use in the same day adds increasing complexity to the excuses, potentially making them less
believable.
Physical Appearance: A polished brass rod about a foot long, engraved with scrollwork that
depicts various scenarios of people making elaborate gestures and explanations. The engravings shift and
change to show new excuses, and the rod grows warm when activated. At its tip sits a small brass figure of a
lawyer or orator that nods approvingly when good excuses are made.
Quirk: The rod develops a preference for its wielder's personality, eventually providing
excuses that match their character so perfectly that friends can identify the rod's influence.
Type: Divination Wand | Charges: 5 per day
This crystal wand can detect and follow sympathetic connections between objects, people, or places. It
vibrates when pointed toward things related to a chosen target—family members, personal possessions, places of
significance. However, it cannot distinguish between positive and negative connections.
Mechanical Effect: Track people or objects through sympathetic links. Point the wand at
someone/something, and it will guide you to related people, places, or objects within a mile. Cannot
distinguish between allies and enemies.
Physical Appearance: A slender wand of clear crystal that hums with barely audible harmonic
frequencies. When pointed at a target, thin lines of light appear within the crystal, creating a complex web
that pulses and shifts to show connections. The crystal grows cloudy with overuse and vibrates gently in the
direction of detected connections.
Consequence: The wand sometimes reveals connections the wielder didn't know existed, leading
to uncomfortable discoveries about friends, family, or their own past.
Type: Fate Rod | Charges: 3 per day
This rod allows minor adjustments to probability, making unlikely events more likely and certain events less
so. The universe maintains balance by causing equally opposite adjustments elsewhere, often in unexpected ways
that affect the wielder's life.
Mechanical Effect: Once per encounter, force any creature (including yourself)
to reroll a d20 check, save, or attack roll.
They must keep the new result. Each use accrues "probability debt" —
the DM may impose disadvantage on a later unrelated roll to balance fate.
Physical Appearance: A rod of dark wood inlaid with silver wire that forms intricate
mathematical patterns and probability equations. Tiny dice of various materials are embedded along its length,
constantly rolling to show different numbers. The rod feels unnaturally balanced, as if it exists in perfect
equilibrium between all possible outcomes.
Consequence: Repeated use creates a "probability debt" that the universe will eventually
collect, often at the most inconvenient possible moment.
Type: Creation Wand | Charges: Unlimited
This wand creates constructs of pure light that can take any form the wielder imagines. These light-beings are
semi-intelligent and devoted to their creator, but they hunger for real existence and may eventually seek ways
to become truly alive, potentially at their creator's expense.
Mechanical Effect: Summons 1–3 constructs of radiant force.
Each construct has H = +1, D = 0, and HP = caster level × (d20 + caster CON).
They act as allies but cannot wield weapons or cast spells. Constructs persist until destroyed or dismissed.
Physical Appearance: A wand that appears to be carved from crystallized sunlight, warm to the
touch and constantly emanating a soft, pearl-like glow. When activated, the light intensifies and takes on
rainbow hues, streaming from the tip in brilliant ribbons that coalesce into whatever forms the wielder
imagines. The constructs shimmer with an opalescent quality that makes them beautiful to behold.
Consequence: Light constructs grow more independent over time, potentially forming their own
society or seeking ways to replace their creator as the "real" version of themselves.
Type: Time Rod | Charges: 1 per week
This rod allows the wielder to issue commands that echo backward and forward through time, affecting past and
future events. Commands must be simple and cannot directly harm individuals, but can arrange coincidences,
alter circumstances, or ensure certain meetings occur.
Mechanical Effect: Issue a temporal command that reshapes minor past or future events.
Effects are always indirect—doors left unlocked, messages delayed, chance encounters arranged. Cannot
directly cause harm or death.
Physical Appearance: An ornate rod of polished obsidian wrapped in bands of silver that
depict scenes of past, present, and future events. The scenes constantly shift and change, showing different
possible timelines. The rod feels heavy with the weight of temporal authority, and when used, brief
afterimages of its past and future positions flicker around it.
Consequence: Temporal commands create ripple effects that may fundamentally alter the
wielder's relationships, reputation, or destiny in unexpected ways. Time travelers or guardians of causality
may take notice.
Type: Reality Rod | Charges: Special
This rod allows its wielder to "conduct" reality like a symphony, orchestrating events, emotions, and even
natural laws in complex, beautiful patterns. The wielder becomes obsessed with creating ever more elaborate
compositions, potentially losing sight of their original goals in favor of aesthetic perfection.
Mechanical Effect: Orchestrate multiple magical effects simultaneously, weaving them into
complex patterns. Can combine any known spells or effects in harmonious ways, multiplying their power.
Requires performance rolls to maintain control.
Physical Appearance: An elegant baton of white ivory inlaid with gold tracery that resembles
musical notation. When waved, it leaves brief trails of light and sound in the air, creating visual
representations of the magic being conducted. The baton grows warm during use and resonates with harmonious
tones that seem to make reality itself more musical and responsive.
Consequence: The wielder becomes increasingly disconnected from normal reality, seeing life
as a performance to be perfected rather than experienced. They may attempt to "conduct" other people's lives
without their consent.
Type: Primordial Wand | Charges: 1 per month
Crafted from crystallized sound from the first word ever spoken, this wand can unmake or remake anything by
speaking its true name. The wielder gains knowledge of true names gradually, but speaking them incorrectly can
have catastrophic consequences, and some names should never be spoken at all.
Mechanical Effect: Speak the true name of any object, creature, or concept to completely
understand, control, or reshape it. Incorrect pronunciation causes backlash damage. Some names carry cosmic
consequences when spoken.
Physical Appearance: A wand of crystallized sound that seems to exist in constant vibration,
its surface rippling like frozen water disturbed by an unseen wind. Hieroglyphs and symbols from every
language that has ever existed flow across its surface in an endless stream. When words of power are spoken,
the crystal resonates and the symbols glow with dangerous potential.
Consequence: Learning true names changes the wielder's fundamental understanding of reality.
They may discover that their own true name is different from what they believed, or that speaking certain
names marks them as a threat to cosmic order.
Staves of Mastery
Staves represent the pinnacle of magical focus crafting, serving as both weapons and conduits for the most
powerful enchantments. These tall implements often become trusted companions to their wielders, growing in power
alongside their masters.
Type: Chaos Staff | Weapon: +2H, +1D
This staff appears to be carved from crystallized possibility itself, constantly shifting between materials,
colors, and even shapes when not being directly observed. Each time it's used, it taps directly into the raw
chaos that underlies reality, producing effects that range from utterly trivial to cosmically significant. The
staff has no personality per se—instead, it embodies pure, unpredictable change.
Mechanical Effect: Once per day, the wielder can activate the staff to produce a
completely random magical effect. Roll a d20 to determine the scope (1-10 Minor, 11-16 Moderate, 17-19
Major, 20 Cosmic), then the DM determines or rolls for a specific effect within that category. Effects are
permanent and cannot be undone by normal means. May inflict random afflictions including Cursed affliction,
Diseased affliction, or Confused affliction.
Sample Effects by Category:
Minor: A small animal appears, weather changes locally for an hour, everyone's hair
changes color, food tastes different for a day, flowers bloom out of season, mass hallucinations.
Moderate: A building changes architectural style, local gravity reverses for 10 minutes,
everyone in a mile radius speaks a different language for a week, a small lake appears or disappears.
Major: A new species of creature comes into existence, the local climate permanently
shifts, a city's entire population is blinded, time flows backward in a region for a
day.
Cosmic: A new plane of existence opens, fundamental magical laws change globally, stars
rearrange in the sky, crop blights or golden ages affect entire continents.
These are just a few effects known to have been produced by the staff and there are infinitely more. It
seems to have limitless potential for both good and evil.
Physical Appearance: A staff that refuses to maintain a consistent form, constantly shifting
between materials, shapes, and even sizes when not being directly observed. One moment it might be crystalline
and translucent, the next carved bone or living wood. The only constant is its chaotic beauty and the sense
that looking at it too long might drive one mad with the infinite possibilities it represents.
Consequence: Each use creates ripples of chaos that extend far beyond the immediate effect.
The staff gradually makes reality more unstable around its wielder—coincidences become more frequent, natural
laws become suggestions, and the boundary between possible and impossible begins to blur. Eventually, the
wielder may become a living nexus of chaos, unable to exist in ordered reality without constantly reshaping it
through their mere presence.
Type: Utility Staff | Weapon: +1H, +0D
This simple wooden staff provides perfect balance and sure footing on any terrain. It can extend or contract
to the ideal length for its wielder and provides a comfortable grip even in the worst weather. However, it has
developed a paternal personality and offers unsolicited advice about posture, diet, and life choices.
Mechanical Effect: Immunity to difficult terrain, advantage on balance and climbing
checks. Cannot be dropped or lost—it always finds its way back to the wielder's hand. Provides protection
against Prone affliction from difficult terrain.
Physical Appearance: A humble wooden walking stick of ash or oak, worn smooth by countless
miles and perfectly balanced for its wielder's height and gait. The wood bears the patina of age and care,
with small carved notches that might represent journeys taken. Despite its mundane appearance, it radiates an
aura of steady reliability and paternal concern.
Quirk: The staff audibly tuts with disapproval when the wielder makes poor decisions and
occasionally trips them to prevent them from walking into obvious dangers.
Type: Performance Staff | Weapon: +2H, +1D
This ornate staff ensures that its wielder always makes perfectly timed entrances and exits. Doors open at
precisely the right moment, cloaks billow dramatically without wind, and important speeches are delivered just
as lightning flashes. Unfortunately, it applies this timing to everything, including bathroom visits and
meals.
Mechanical Effect: +2 to all social and performance rolls due to perfect dramatic timing.
Always arrive at the most narratively appropriate moment, which may not be the most tactically advantageous.
Physical Appearance: An ornate staff of polished ebony topped with a dramatic crystal orb
that catches and reflects light in the most flattering ways possible. Gold filigree spirals down its length in
theatrical flourishes, and small gems embedded along its surface sparkle with perfect timing to accent
important moments. The staff seems to pose dramatically even when simply leaning against a wall.
Quirk: The staff's sense of drama occasionally conflicts with practical needs, causing the
wielder to arrive fashionably late to time-sensitive situations.
Type: Divination Staff | Weapon: +1H, +1D
This crystal-topped staff can replay the emotional echoes of significant events that occurred in its vicinity.
The wielder experiences these memories as vivid visions, feeling the emotions of all involved. Prolonged use
can make it difficult to distinguish between personal memories and absorbed experiences.
Mechanical Effect: Witness emotional echoes of important events within the last year. Gain
insight into the motivations and secrets of people who experienced strong emotions nearby. +3 to
investigation and empathy rolls. Can detect individuals afflicted with Confused affliction or other mental
state afflictions.
Physical Appearance: A staff crowned with a large, multifaceted crystal that shifts color
based on the emotions it has absorbed—deep blue for sorrow, crimson for rage, warm gold for joy. The crystal's
surface swirls with half-glimpsed faces and scenes from intense emotional moments. The wooden shaft is carved
with symbols representing memory and emotion.
Consequence: The wielder gradually accumulates emotional impressions from others, potentially
developing multiple personality traits or becoming overwhelmed by others' traumas and joys.
Type: Nature Staff | Weapon: +2H, +2D
This living staff sprouts leaves, flowers, and fruit according to the seasons and the wielder's emotional
state. It can accelerate plant growth, communicate with vegetation, and turn barren ground fertile. However,
it requires constant care and becomes sulky if neglected, potentially withering and losing power.
Mechanical Effect: Communicate with plants, accelerate growth, create fertile soil. In
combat, can entangle enemies with sudden vine growth or create temporary cover. Staff's power fluctuates
based on how well it's cared for. Can remove Diseased affliction from plants and purify poisoned soil.
Physical Appearance: A living branch that continues to grow and change with the seasons,
sprouting leaves, flowers, and fruit according to its emotional state and the care it receives. Bark patterns
shift to reveal faces of forest spirits, and small vines wrap around its length. When well-tended, it blooms
magnificently; when neglected, it appears withered and sullen.
Consequence: The staff gradually influences the wielder to become more plant-like in
thinking, potentially developing a seasonal personality or beginning to photosynthesize instead of eating
normal food.
Type: Spatial Staff | Weapon: +3H, +2D
This staff appears to bend and twist in ways that hurt to look at directly, existing in dimensions beyond
normal perception. It allows the wielder to step through impossible angles, reaching around corners, through
walls, or even into abstract concepts like "behind the idea of safety."
Mechanical Effect: Ignore physical barriers by stepping through spatial dimensions. Can
attack enemies from impossible directions, providing +5 to attack rolls from surprise. Movement is not
limited by walls, distance, or even logical space.
Physical Appearance: A staff that appears to bend and twist through dimensions that shouldn't
exist, making it painful to look at directly. Its surface shows non-Euclidean geometry that seems to fold in
on itself, creating impossible angles and perspectives. The staff occasionally disappears partially from view,
existing in spaces between reality.
Consequence: Prolonged use warps the wielder's perception of reality. They may begin to see
dimensions others cannot, making normal social interaction difficult, or accidentally step into dimensions
they cannot return from.
Type: Communion Staff | Weapon: +2H, +3D
Carved from the heartwood of a thousand-year tree, this staff contains the preserved spirits of wise ancestors
who offer counsel and knowledge. However, the ancestors have their own opinions about how their descendant
should live, and their advice comes from cultures and eras that may no longer be relevant.
Mechanical Effect: Gain access to ancient knowledge and wisdom. +5 to history, culture,
and lore rolls. Can commune with ancestor spirits for advice. Ancestors can warn of danger or provide
tactical suggestions.
Physical Appearance: A staff carved from ancient heartwood that bears the weathered faces of
countless ancestors within its grain. The wood has a deep, rich brown color that seems to hold the wisdom of
ages, and when communing with spirits, faint whispers can be heard emanating from the wood itself. The staff
occasionally glows with a warm, paternal light when offering guidance.
Consequence: The ancestors become increasingly opinionated about the wielder's choices,
potentially conflicting with modern values or current circumstances. Some ancestors may have been less wise or
noble than remembered.
Type: Cosmic Staff | Weapon: +4H, +4D
A branch from the mythical tree that connects all worlds, this staff grants dominion over the boundaries
between realms. The wielder can open portals to other planes, call beings from distant realities, or even
create new pocket dimensions. However, such power attracts the attention of cosmic forces who guard the
integrity of reality.
Mechanical Effect: Open permanent portals between worlds, summon extraplanar beings,
create pocket dimensions. Can reshape local reality to match other planes (making an area underwater, filled
with fire, etc.). No spell level limits when creating planar effects.
Physical Appearance: A gnarled branch that seems to exist in multiple dimensions
simultaneously, its bark shifting between the textures of different worlds—crystalline ice, volcanic rock,
ethereal mist, and living wood. Leaves from impossible trees sprout along its length, each one a window into
another realm. When wielded, the branch hums with the resonance of infinite worlds.
Consequence: Using the staff marks the wielder as a person of cosmic significance. Planar
lords, cosmic entities, and reality guardians will take active interest in their affairs, potentially leading
to divine quests, cosmic wars, or transformation into a planar being.
Type: Foundation Staff | Weapon: +3H, +5D
This staff embodies the fundamental laws that govern reality—mathematics, physics, logic, and causality. The
wielder can temporarily rewrite these principles within a limited area, making impossible things briefly
possible. However, reality has momentum, and changing fundamental laws creates stress fractures in the fabric
of existence.
Mechanical Effect: Temporarily alter fundamental laws of reality in a 100-foot radius.
Make fire freeze, gravity reverse, time flow backward, or logic work differently. Effects last until the
wielder's concentration breaks or reality reasserts itself.
Physical Appearance: A staff of polished obsidian inscribed with mathematical equations,
geometric proofs, and scientific formulas that shift and change as the fundamental laws they represent evolve.
The equations glow with soft light when the staff is used, and observers can glimpse the elegant mathematics
underlying reality's structure in its reflective surface.
Consequence: Each use weakens the barriers between possible and impossible. Eventually, the
area around the wielder may become a zone of permanent chaos where natural laws are suggestions rather than
rules.
Enchanted Bows
Bows represent the marriage of skill and magic, requiring both physical prowess and mystical understanding.
These ranged weapons often develop bonds with their wielders, learning their shooting style and adapting to
their needs.
Type: Utility Bow | Weapon: +2H, +1D
This simple wooden bow materializes arrows from ambient magical energy when drawn. The arrows are perfectly
functional but fade away after an hour, making them useless for crafting or trade. The bow has a quirky
personality and occasionally creates arrows with silly decorations or motivational messages.
Mechanical Effect: Never runs out of arrows. Arrows disappear after one hour. Once per
day, can create a special arrow with a minor magical effect (glowing, whistling, etc.).
Physical Appearance: A humble yew longbow with a warm, honey-colored finish that seems to
shimmer with contained energy. The grip is worn smooth by countless hands, and tiny motes of light
occasionally dance along the bowstring when drawn. Arrows materialize from thin air as beautiful constructs of
pure magic, each one unique and fleeting.
Quirk: The bow's arrows sometimes carry embarrassing messages or inappropriate decorations,
potentially causing diplomatic incidents or social awkwardness.
Type: Communication Bow | Weapon: +3H, +0D
This bow can shoot arrows that whisper messages to their targets instead of causing damage. The messages are
always audible only to the intended recipient, but the bow has developed a love of drama and tends to
embellish or editorialize the messages it carries.
Mechanical Effect: Shoot message arrows that deal no damage but deliver spoken messages.
Range up to 200 yards. Messages are always heard clearly by the target regardless of noise or distance.
Physical Appearance: An elegant recurve bow crafted from silvered wood with intricate
engravings of lips, ears, and speaking mouths along its limbs. The bowstring appears to be woven from
whispered words that shimmer and shift, and when drawn, faint voices can be heard murmuring secrets and
conversations from far away.
Quirk: The bow adds its own commentary to messages, potentially changing their tone or
meaning in ways that create misunderstandings or romantic complications.
Type: Predator Bow | Weapon: +3H, +2D
This bow bonds with its wielder, learning their hunting patterns and preferred prey. It provides enhanced
tracking abilities and improves accuracy against creatures the wielder has studied. However, the bond makes
the wielder more predatory in nature, potentially affecting their relationships with others.
Mechanical Effect: +2 additional attack and damage against creatures you have successfully
tracked or studied. Gain enhanced senses when hunting (advantage on perception and tracking). Bow's bonuses
improve with use.
Physical Appearance: A composite bow made from horn, sinew, and darkwood that seems to pulse
with a predatory heartbeat. The grip is wrapped in leather that bears the subtle impression of claws and
teeth, and the bow's limbs are decorated with carved prey animals that seem to move when not observed
directly. When drawn, the wielder's eyes briefly flash with predatory intensity.
Consequence: The wielder gradually adopts more predatory behaviors—stalking instead of
walking, viewing people as potential prey or threats, and becoming uncomfortable in civilized settings.
Type: Divination Bow | Weapon: +2H, +1D
This bow's arrows always find their intended target, even around corners or through obstacles. More
mysteriously, the arrows seem drawn to truth—they strike liars during combat, find hidden objects, and reveal
illusions. However, the bow cannot distinguish between harmful truths and helpful ones.
Mechanical Effect: Arrows ignore cover and concealment. Double damage against creatures
that have lied in the last day. Can shoot arrows at abstract concepts like "the source of this Cursed
affliction" or
"whoever is responsible."
Physical Appearance: A longbow carved from white ash with a crystalline clarity that makes it
seem almost transparent. Golden veins run through the wood like captured lightning, and the bowstring appears
to be spun from pure light. When an arrow is nocked, the bow glows softly and seems to point of its own accord
toward hidden truths and concealed deceptions.
Consequence: The bow may reveal truths its wielder doesn't want to know, such as a friend's
betrayal or their own dark destiny, by mysteriously targeting unexpected individuals.
Type: Celestial Bow | Weapon: +4H, +3D
Crafted from crystallized starlight, this bow shoots arrows that streak across the sky like falling stars. The
arrows can travel incredible distances and pierce any material, but each shot calls down a tiny piece of the
heavens that permanently alters the impact site in strange ways.
Mechanical Effect: Unlimited range, arrows ignore all armor and shields. Each impact site
becomes a small area of strange celestial influence—plants may grow in star patterns, gravity might be
lighter, or time may flow differently.
Physical Appearance: A bow that appears to be carved from crystallized starlight itself,
translucent and coruscating with inner radiance. Constellations shift and move across its surface like living
tattoos, and when drawn, the bowstring stretches into infinity, creating arrows of pure celestial fire that
streak like meteors when released.
Consequence: Frequent use creates a trail of celestially-touched locations that may attract
astronomers, cultists, or extraplanar entities. The wielder gradually becomes more otherworldly and detached
from earthly concerns.
Type: Temporal Bow | Weapon: +2H, +4D
This bow shoots arrows that arrive before they are fired, striking targets with the inevitability of fate
itself. The arrows exist in a temporal loop, making them nearly impossible to dodge. However, each shot
creates small paradoxes that may have unexpected consequences elsewhere in the timeline.
Mechanical Effect: Arrows cannot miss—they arrive the instant the bow is drawn, before the
target can react. Damage occurs simultaneously with the decision to shoot. Each shot creates a minor
temporal paradox with random future consequences. May inflict Confused affliction on targets due to temporal
disorientation.
Physical Appearance: A bow that seems to exist in multiple temporal states
simultaneously—sometimes appearing new and pristine, other times ancient and weathered, occasionally
flickering between past and future versions of itself. The bowstring exists in a temporal loop, and arrows
fired from it seem to arrive at their target before being shot, creating a disconcerting visual paradox.
Consequence: Temporal paradoxes accumulate, potentially causing the wielder to encounter
alternate versions of themselves, or discovering that their current situation was caused by their own future
actions.
Type: Apocalyptic Bow | Weapon: +5H, +5D
This bow was crafted for the purpose of ending the world when the time comes for renewal. Its arrows can
destroy concepts, emotions, and even abstract ideas. The wielder gains the power to unmake anything they can
clearly visualize, but the bow whispers constantly about endings, conclusions, and the beauty of finality.
Mechanical Effect: Arrows can destroy abstract concepts (fear, love, memory, magic itself)
within a target or area. Can unmake objects, spells, or even natural laws. No save against destruction—only
prevention is not being shot. Can remove Frightened affliction, Charmed affliction, and other mental state
afflictions by destroying the underlying emotions.
Physical Appearance: A bow of terrible beauty, forged from what appears to be crystallized
entropy itself—a dark material that seems to absorb light and hope in equal measure. Its surface bears reliefs
of endings: dying stars, crumbling empires, final breaths. When drawn, the bowstring hums with the finality of
all things, and arrows emerge as pure concepts of conclusion and termination.
Consequence: The bow gradually convinces its wielder that ending things is always better than
letting them continue in imperfection. The wielder may begin destroying relationships, institutions, or
civilizations "for their own good."
Type: Creation Bow | Weapon: +3H, Variable D
The counterpart to the World-Ender's Arc, this bow creates rather than destroys. Its arrows birth new
realities wherever they land—forests sprout from barren ground, rivers flow uphill, new species of animals
appear. However, creation without purpose leads to chaos, and the bow's gifts may be more burden than
blessing.
Mechanical Effect: Arrows create whatever the wielder visualizes at the impact point. Can
create life, matter, energy, or even abstract concepts. Creations are permanent and self-sustaining. No
limit except the wielder's imagination and understanding. Can create areas that remove Diseased affliction
or Poisoned affliction from those who enter.
Physical Appearance: A bow that seems to be woven from the first light of creation, radiating
warmth and potential. Its form shifts constantly between wood, crystal, and pure energy, never quite settling
on a single state. The bowstring appears to be spun from possibility itself, and arrows fired from it blossom
into whatever the wielder envisions, trailing seeds of new reality.
Consequence: Uncontrolled creation can overwhelm ecosystems, disrupt societies, or birth
sentient beings who resent their existence. The wielder may become obsessed with "improving" the world through
constant creation, regardless of others' wishes.
Legendary Weapons
These weapons have transcended mere tools of war to become extensions of their wielders' will and identity.
Each carries a history written in blood and glory, demanding worthiness from those who would claim them.
Type: Performance Sword | Weapon: +2H, +2D
This rapier makes every sword technique look perfectly executed and dramatically impressive. Cloaks swirl at
precisely the right moments, footwork appears flawless, and even missed attacks look intentional. However, the
sword prioritizes style over effectiveness, occasionally choosing flashy moves over practical ones.
Mechanical Effect: +3 to performance and intimidation rolls during combat. All combat
maneuvers appear expertly executed regardless of actual skill. Cannot make attacks that aren't dramatic
enough for the sword's standards.
Physical Appearance: An ornate rapier with a blade that seems to catch and reflect light in
impossible ways, creating dramatic shadows and gleaming highlights. The crossguard is wrought in flowing
curves that suggest motion even when still, and gems embedded in the pommel sparkle with perfect timing to
accentuate the wielder's every movement.
Quirk: The sword refuses to perform sneak attacks or unglamorous combat moves, potentially
forcing the wielder into dramatic confrontations when stealth would be wiser.
Type: Diplomatic Hammer | Weapon: +1H, +3D
This warhammer deals non-lethal damage that somehow feels like a firm but fair argument. Enemies struck by it
become more reasonable and willing to negotiate, though they retain clear memories of being hit with a large
hammer. The weapon refuses to cause permanent harm to anyone.
Mechanical Effect: All damage is non-lethal. Enemies reduced to 0 HP are unconscious but
stable. Those struck must save or become willing to negotiate peacefully for one hour. Cannot be used to
kill, regardless of wielder's intent. May remove Frightened affliction from targets by calming their fears.
Physical Appearance: A well-crafted warhammer with a head of polished silver that gleams with
warm, reassuring light. The handle is wrapped in soft leather that feels comfortable and familiar, and tiny
engravings along the head depict scenes of peaceful resolution and understanding. When swung, it moves with
surprising gentleness despite its weight.
Quirk: The hammer's pacifist nature may conflict with situations requiring lethal force,
potentially leaving the wielder defenseless against threats that cannot be reasoned with.
Type: Empathy Sword | Weapon: +3H, +2D
This sword creates an empathic link between wielder and target with each strike, allowing both to feel the
other's pain, fear, and motivations. Combat becomes an intimate experience of shared suffering that often
leads to mutual understanding—or mutual trauma.
Mechanical Effect: Both wielder and target feel each other's pain equally. When striking
an enemy, the wielder takes half the damage they deal. In return, both parties gain insight into each
other's motivations and emotional state. Can transfer afflictions between wielder and target, including
Diseased affliction and Poisoned affliction.
Physical Appearance: A sword with a blade that reflects not light, but emotion—its surface
showing ripples of pain, waves of sorrow, and flashes of understanding. The crossguard is shaped like
intertwined hands, and the grip pulses gently with a heartbeat-like rhythm. When wounds are inflicted, thin
lines of sympathetic energy connect blade to target.
Consequence: Repeated use creates lasting empathic connections with former enemies. The
wielder may find themselves unable to fight people they've previously "touched" with the blade, or conversely,
sharing their pain permanently.
Type: Legend Axe | Weapon: +2H, +3D
This battle axe grows more powerful with each worthy deed performed by its wielder, but the definition of
"worthy" seems to change based on who's watching. The axe thrives on reputation and becomes stronger when used
in front of audiences, but weaker when its wielder acts dishonorably.
Mechanical Effect: Damage bonus increases by +1 for each significant deed witnessed by
others (+5 maximum). Bonus decreases by -1 for each dishonorable act. Power fluctuates based on the
wielder's reputation.
Physical Appearance: A masterwork battle axe with a blade that bears etchings of heroic deeds
that shift and change to reflect the wielder's growing legend. The handle is wrapped in leather that bears the
invisible imprints of every hand that has witnessed its deeds, and the metal gleams more brightly when
performed before an audience.
Consequence: The wielder becomes increasingly concerned with their public image and may take
unnecessary risks to perform impressive deeds. The axe's judgment of "honor" may not align with practical
necessity.
Type: Soul Sword | Weapon: +4H, +3D
This sword can cut through spiritual as well as physical substance, severing magical effects, divine
blessings, curses, and even souls from bodies. The blade grows sharper with each soul it touches, but handling
so many spiritual essences gradually makes the wielder more ghostly and detached from physical reality.
Mechanical Effect: Can sever magical effects, remove Cursed affliction, cut through
illusions, or
separate souls from bodies (non-lethally). Gains +1 to hit and damage for each soul touched (maximum +10).
Wielder becomes increasingly incorporeal.
Physical Appearance: A blade that appears to be forged from crystallized moonlight and
shadow, its edge sharp enough to cut between the material and spiritual realms. Ghostly wisps occasionally
drift from its surface, and when it strikes spiritual targets, brief glimpses of severed souls can be seen
dancing along its length like captured starlight.
Consequence: The wielder gradually becomes more spirit than flesh, eventually risking the
ability to interact with the physical world or maintain relationships with living beings.
Type: Temporal Polearm | Weapon: +3H, +4D
This glaive exists in multiple time streams simultaneously, allowing it to strike enemies in the past,
present, and future with a single swing. The wielder can see brief glimpses of temporal alternatives, but
processing multiple timelines simultaneously is mentally exhausting and potentially maddening.
Mechanical Effect: Each attack hits three times (past, present, future versions of the
target). Can attack enemies who haven't arrived yet or who have already left. Wielder gains brief glimpses
of possible futures.
Physical Appearance: A glaive that seems to flicker between different temporal states—the
blade sometimes appears ancient and battle-worn, other times pristine and newly forged. Time flows visibly
around its edge like liquid mercury, and when swung, it leaves brief afterimages of past and future strikes
hanging in the air.
Consequence: Constant exposure to multiple timelines causes the wielder to occasionally
confuse what has happened with what might happen, potentially leading to temporal paradoxes or prophetic
madness.
Type: Void Weapon | Weapon: +5H, +6D
This weapon appears as an absence rather than a presence—a sword-shaped hole in reality that cuts through the
very concept of existence. It can unmake anything it touches, erasing objects, people, or ideas from reality
entirely. However, each use tears a small hole in the fabric of existence that may never heal.
Mechanical Effect: Anything struck is completely erased from existence—no death saves, no
resurrection, no memory of what was destroyed. Can cut through any material or magical effect. Each use
creates a permanent "void spot" in reality.
Physical Appearance: Not so much a sword as the complete absence of one—a blade-shaped void
in reality that hurts to look at directly. It appears as pure nothingness given form, a darkness so complete
that light simply ceases to exist around it. When wielded, reality seems to bend away from its edge, creating
ripples of unreality in its wake.
Consequence: Void spots accumulate into larger tears in reality that may eventually threaten
the entire world. The wielder risks accidentally erasing themselves or loved ones, and may attract the
attention of cosmic entities trying to preserve reality.
Type: Emotion Sword | Weapon: +4H, +4D
This blade cuts through emotional bonds and psychological defenses rather than flesh and bone. It can sever
love, destroy faith, or cut away fear and doubt. The sword feeds on emotional pain and grows stronger from
heartbreak, but its constant hunger for suffering may corrupt the wielder's relationships.
Mechanical Effect: Can target emotions instead of HP—severing love, destroying courage, or
cutting away memories. Gains power from nearby emotional suffering. Can permanently alter personalities by
"cutting away" unwanted traits. May inflict Confused affliction or Frightened affliction by disrupting
emotional stability.
Physical Appearance: A blade of dark steel that seems to weep constantly, its surface always
slick with what might be tears. The crossguard is shaped like broken hearts, and the blade itself pulses with
a melancholy rhythm that matches the observer's heartbeat. When it cuts emotions, visible wounds of sorrow
appear in the air, bleeding abstract concepts of pain and loss.
Consequence: The sword requires feeding on emotional pain and may subtly manipulate
situations to create heartbreak and suffering around its wielder. Eventually, the wielder may find themselves
isolated as the blade consumes all their meaningful relationships.
Protective Relics
Armor serves as more than mere protection—these enchanted defenses become second skins that shape their wearers
as much as they protect them. From simple magical enhancement to reality-altering protection, these relics carry
both blessing and burden.
Type: Utility Cloak | Armor: +1H, +0D
This cloak has dozens of hidden pockets that connect to a small extradimensional space. Items stored within
are perfectly preserved and weightless, but the cloak has a mischievous personality and sometimes produces
items the wearer forgot they stored, or occasionally items they never put there at all.
Mechanical Effect: Store unlimited small items without weight. +2 to stealth due to
billowing dramatically. 5% chance per day of producing a useful random item when needed.
Physical Appearance: A midnight blue cloak that seems to ripple with hidden depths, its
fabric shifting and moving as if pockets are constantly rearranging themselves beneath the surface.
Occasionally, the outline of mysterious objects can be glimpsed pressing against the fabric from within, and
when opened, the interior reveals an impossible starry void.
Quirk: The cloak occasionally produces embarrassing or inappropriate items at social
gatherings, or items that belong to other people, potentially creating awkward situations.
Type: Comfort Boots | Armor: +0H, +1D
These boots ensure that the wearer's feet are always perfectly comfortable, adapting to any terrain and
providing ideal temperature regulation. They're completely silent and leave no tracks. However, they're
extremely chatty and provide constant commentary on the journey, foot health, and path quality.
Mechanical Effect: Immune to difficult terrain, silent movement, leave no tracks. Feet
never get tired, cold, or sore. +2 to stealth when moving.
Physical Appearance: Soft leather boots that seem to mold perfectly to any foot that wears
them, their surface a warm honey-brown that radiates comfort. They appear to have no laces or buckles, simply
embracing the feet like loving friends. When walking, they make no sound but occasionally whisper gentle
encouragements to their wearer.
Quirk: The boots audibly comment on everything they walk on, potentially revealing the
wearer's presence or providing unwanted opinions about local architecture and hygiene.
Type: Sharing Armor | Armor: +1H, +2D
This chainmail can absorb damage meant for the wearer's allies within 50 feet, distributing it across the
magical network of the armor. The wearer becomes a living shield for their companions, but the constant
absorption of others' pain creates strong empathic bonds that may be difficult to break.
Mechanical Effect: Can absorb up to half the damage dealt to any ally within 50 feet,
taking it yourself instead. Gain permanent empathic links with those you've protected. H +1 Defense for each
ally
you've saved from death.
Physical Appearance: A suit of chainmail that seems to ripple and flow like liquid metal,
with links that occasionally glow with soft blue light when absorbing damage. The metal bears subtle patterns
that suggest interconnected networks, and when protecting others, thin threads of energy visibly connect the
wearer to nearby allies.
Consequence: The empathic bonds created by shared suffering become permanent, making the
wearer feel responsible for their allies' safety and happiness even when not in danger.
Type: Temporal Robe | Armor: +2H, +1D
This robe prevents its wearer from dying while they have important unfinished business, as determined by the
robe's mysterious judgment. Death simply fails to take hold until the wearer completes their destined task.
However, the robe's definition of "important" may not align with the wearer's priorities.
Mechanical Effect: Cannot die while you have "unfinished business." At 0 HP, you're
unconscious but stable. Death saves automatically succeed. The DM secretly determines what constitutes
unfinished business. Provides immunity to death from Diseased affliction or Poisoned affliction while
business remains unfinished.
Physical Appearance: A robe of deep indigo fabric that seems to shimmer with temporal energy,
its surface bearing subtle patterns that shift and change like flowing water. The fabric occasionally ripples
with what appears to be glimpses of future events, and when the wearer has unfinished business, the robe glows
with a persistent, determined light.
Consequence: The robe may keep the wearer alive to complete tasks they never intended to
undertake, or prevent them from dying to save others because it judges their personal mission more important.
Type: Adaptive Armor | Armor: +0H, +4D
This armor is crafted from metal that lives and grows, adapting to threats and environments. It can sprout
spikes for combat, become lighter for stealth, or thicker for protection. However, the living metal has its
own instincts and may react to threats the wearer doesn't perceive, or protect against dangers that don't
actually exist.
Mechanical Effect: Armor adapts to situations—becomes lighter (+3H, +1D) for stealth,
grows spikes (+1H, +2D, +2 melee damage) for combat, or thickens (-2H, +6D) against magical attacks. Changes
automatically based on circumstances.
Physical Appearance: A suit of plate armor that appears to breathe and shift like living
tissue, its surface occasionally rippling with muscle-like movements. The metal can change color and texture
based on the environment—becoming dark and spiked in combat, light and smooth for stealth, or thick and
reinforced against magical threats. Small tendrils occasionally extend and retract from the joints.
Consequence: The armor's instincts may conflict with the wearer's intentions, potentially
sprouting spikes during diplomatic meetings or becoming heavy when the wearer wants to appear non-threatening.
Type: Identity Cloak | Armor: +3H, +2D
This shimmering cloak allows the wearer to assume the appearance and memories of anyone they have touched
while wearing it. Each identity is perfectly convincing, complete with mannerisms and knowledge. However,
maintaining multiple identities becomes psychologically taxing, and the wearer may begin to lose track of
which personality is truly their own.
Mechanical Effect: Perfectly mimic the appearance, voice, and surface memories of anyone
you've touched. Can maintain up to 5 different identities. +5 to deception when using assumed identities.
Must save vs. Confused affliction when switching between many identities rapidly.
Physical Appearance: A shimmering cloak that seems to be woven from pure light and shadow,
its surface constantly shifting between different textures and colors. When the wearer assumes an identity,
the cloak briefly displays the face and form of that person before settling into their appearance. The fabric
occasionally ripples with memories and mannerisms that aren't the wearer's own.
Consequence: Extended use causes identity fragmentation—the wearer may wake up as a different
personality, or begin to believe that one of their assumed identities is their true self.
Type: Void Cloak | Armor: +5H, +3D
This cloak exists partially outside reality, making its wearer immune to all forms of direct harm. Attacks,
spells, and environmental hazards simply pass through the wearer as if they weren't there. However, being
partially outside reality also means being partially outside human connection—emotions, relationships, and
even memories become increasingly distant.
Mechanical Effect: Complete immunity to all direct damage and harmful effects. Cannot be
affected by any targeted spell or ability. Can phase through solid matter at will. Gradually lose the
ability to affect the world or be affected by it.
Physical Appearance: A mantle that appears to exist partially outside reality—sometimes
visible, sometimes transparent, occasionally flickering between dimensions. It seems to be woven from the
space between spaces, with edges that blur and fade into nothingness. When worn, the wearer appears slightly
out of focus, as if existing in multiple realities at once.
Consequence: The wearer becomes increasingly detached from reality and humanity, eventually
risking complete severance from the material world and all meaningful relationships.
Type: Light Armor (Cloth) | Stats: +3H, +1D |
Weight: 5 lbs
These ethereal robes seem to be woven from morning mist and spider silk, constantly shifting and flowing
around the wearer's form. The fabric appears solid one moment and translucent the next, making it difficult
for enemies to judge the wearer's exact position. The robes respond to the wearer's emotions, becoming more
opaque when they feel confident and nearly invisible when they embrace uncertainty.
Enhanced Stats: Effective immunity to forced movement and knockdown effects, plus
tremorsense detection capability.
Physical Appearance: These robes appear to be woven from morning mist and spider silk, with
fabric that constantly shifts between solid and translucent states. The material flows like liquid around the
wearer's form, creating an ethereal, ghostly appearance. When the wearer feels confident, the robes become
more opaque and substantial; when uncertain, they fade to near-invisibility, making the wearer appear as
little more than a wisp of fog.
Consequence: The wearer gradually becomes more stubborn and resistant to change, adopting the
stone-like patience of mountains but also their inflexibility. They may develop an aversion to travel over
water or by air, preferring to keep their feet firmly on solid ground.
Type: Heavy Armor (Plate Mail) | Stats: -2H, +5D |
Weight: 50 lbs
Blessed by a pantheon of righteous deities, this gleaming plate armor serves as a beacon of hope on the
battlefield and a bulwark against the forces of darkness. The armor glows with inner light that intensifies
based on the righteousness of the wearer's cause, providing both protection and inspiration to allies while
striking fear into the hearts of evil creatures.
Mechanical Effect: Once per day, channel divine vigor to heal an ally for 2 × (d20
+ CON) HP.
All allies within 30 feet gain +1 on fear saves.
Enhanced Stats: The aura effects provide significant battlefield control and support
capabilities beyond the base armor protection.
Physical Appearance: The armor is wrought from polished steel that gleams like silver, with
gold inlay forming holy symbols and inspirational inscriptions across every plate. A soft, warm light emanates
from within the metal itself, and the armor bears no tarnish or battle damage despite its use. When the wearer
performs righteous acts, the light intensifies, and ethereal wings of light sometimes appear to spread from
the shoulder plates.
Consequence: The armor's divine nature gradually purifies the wearer's personality, making
them increasingly inflexible about moral issues and intolerant of moral ambiguity. They may develop a
messianic complex, believing themselves chosen to cleanse the world of evil, potentially alienating allies who
don't share their absolute moral perspective.
Type: Light Armor (Leather) | Stats: +4H, +2D |
Weight: 8 lbs
Crafted from the hide of umbral creatures that exist between light and darkness, this leather armor seems to
drink in surrounding shadows and reshape them according to the wearer's will. The armor allows its wearer to
step between shadows as if they were doorways, appearing and disappearing with the fluid grace of living
darkness.
Mechanical Effect: Base Light Armor: +4H, +2D. Special: Can teleport between any two
shadows within 30 feet as a move action. This movement doesn't provoke attacks and can be used once per
round. Additionally, while in dim light or darkness, gain +2H bonus and enemies suffer -2H when attacking
you.
Enhanced Stats: In darkness: +6H, +2D effective stats. Shadow teleportation provides
tactical positioning advantages.
Physical Appearance: The leather has an unusual matte black finish that seems to absorb
rather than reflect light. Subtle patterns flow across its surface like living shadows, and the armor appears
to have more depth than its actual thickness suggests. When the wearer moves, brief tendrils of shadow trail
behind them, and their silhouette sometimes seems to exist in multiple positions simultaneously.
Consequence: The wearer gradually becomes more comfortable in darkness than in light,
developing an aversion to bright illumination. They may begin to see shadow-creatures that others cannot
perceive, and their moral perspective slowly shifts toward ambiguity and moral relativism.
Type: Light Armor (Cloth) | Stats: +5H, +3D |
Weight: 3 lbs
This legendary garment is woven from solidified wind and storm-songs, granting its wearer mastery over the
very air around them. The mantle allows true flight and the ability to become one with the wind itself, but
such power comes with the risk of losing one's connection to the solid ground and earthly concerns forever.
Mechanical Effect: Base Light Armor: +5H, +3D. Special: True flight at double movement
speed. Can become gaseous (immune to physical attacks but cannot attack physically) for up to 3 rounds per
combat. Control weather in a 1-mile radius - summon winds, fog, or storms. The wearer can also walk on air
as if it were solid ground.
Enhanced Stats: When gaseous: Immune to physical attacks but limited to magical actions.
Flight provides superior positioning for all combat scenarios.
Physical Appearance: The mantle appears to be cut from crystallized air itself, shimmering
with all the colors of the sky from dawn to midnight. It flows and billows constantly even in still air, and
tiny motes of light dance within its folds like captured stars. When the wearer flies, ribbons of condensed
air trail behind them, and their movements leave brief wind patterns that spiral through the atmosphere.
Consequence: The wearer becomes increasingly detached from earthly concerns and ground-bound
individuals. They may develop an obsession with height and open spaces, becoming claustrophobic and unable to
appreciate earthly pleasures. Eventually, they might lose the ability to relate to non-flying creatures or
feel compelled to abandon terrestrial life entirely.
Type: Medium Armor (Studded Leather) | Stats: +1H, +3D
| Weight: 12 lbs
This armor is crafted from the hide of an alpha dire wolf and studded with bone from the pack's fallen
members. It creates an empathic bond between the wearer and their allies, allowing them to coordinate with
pack-like precision. The armor smells faintly of pine forests and wild freedom, awakening primal instincts in
its wearer.
Mechanical Effect: Base Medium Armor: +1H, +3D. Special: All allies within 30 feet gain
+1H to attacks when the wearer is conscious and active. The wearer can sense the general health and
emotional state of allies within 100 feet, and pack members can communicate basic concepts through subtle
body language and scent.
Enhanced Stats: Provides tactical coordination bonuses rather than direct stat
improvements, making the entire group more effective.
Physical Appearance: The leather retains the natural coloring of the dire wolf's coat—deep
browns and grays with subtle patterns. The bone studs are carved with pack symbols and seem to glow faintly
when allies are near. The armor fits like a second skin and seems to shift slightly to accommodate the
wearer's movements, while the collar bears the texture of thick wolf fur.
Consequence: The wearer gradually adopts pack mentality, becoming uncomfortable when alone
and potentially developing aggressive territoriality. They may begin to view outsiders as threats to their
"pack" and struggle with individual decision-making without group consensus.
Type: Medium Armor (Chainmail) | Stats: Variable |
Weight: 15 lbs
This remarkable chainmail is forged from living metal that learns and adapts to threats as they arise. Each
link can shift its properties—becoming lighter for speed, harder for protection, or more flexible for stealth.
The armor develops a relationship with its wearer, anticipating their needs and fighting style over time.
Mechanical Effect: Base Medium Armor that can shift between three configurations each
round as a free action:
Swift Form: +3H, +1D (emphasizes evasion)
Balanced Form: +1H, +3D (standard medium armor)
Fortress Form: -1H, +5D (emphasizes protection)
The armor remembers the last 10 types of attacks used against it and adapts, providing +1D against repeated
attack types.
Physical Appearance: The chainmail appears to be made from interwoven links of different
metals that shift and flow like liquid mercury. The links change color subtly based on the current
configuration—silvery for Swift, bronze for Balanced, and deep iron-gray for Fortress. When adapting to
threats, patterns flow across the armor's surface like ripples in a metal pond.
Consequence: The armor's adaptive nature gradually influences the wearer's personality,
making them increasingly indecisive in personal matters as they become accustomed to the armor handling all
adaptations. They may develop an over-reliance on the armor's judgment and lose confidence in their own
instincts.
Type: Medium Armor (Scale Mail) | Stats: +2H, +4D |
Weight: 20 lbs
Forged from the shed scales of an ancient dragon who ascended to godhood, this hauberk carries within it the
essence of draconic majesty and power. The armor grants its wearer a portion of dragon-lord authority and the
ability to breathe elemental energy, but it also awakens the prideful, territorial nature inherent in all
dragons.
Mechanical Effect: Radiates draconic presence.
Creatures of lower level must attempt a WIS save vs. Normal Difficulty Level (10) or become
frightened.
The DM may set this to Hard (15) if the foe is especially weak-willed.
Enhanced Stats: Damage immunities and resistances effectively increase survivability
significantly beyond the base armor values.
Physical Appearance: Each scale is a perfect dragon scale the size of a gold coin, ranging in
color from deep crimson to molten gold. The scales overlap in natural patterns and seem to generate their own
heat, creating a subtle shimmer in the air around the wearer. When the breath weapon is used, the scales glow
like embers, and smoke occasionally wisps from between them. The wearer's eyes take on a draconic cast with
vertical pupils.
Consequence: The wearer gradually develops draconic personality traits—pride, greed,
territorial behavior, and a sense of superiority over "lesser" creatures. They become possessive of their
treasures, demanding of respect, and may eventually see other sapient beings as servants rather than equals.
The transformation is slow but irreversible.
Type: Heavy Armor (Plate Mail) | Stats: -3H, +6D |
Weight: 60 lbs
Forged in the cosmic forges at the beginning of time, this armor is said to contain fragments of the barriers
that separate the planes of existence. It grants its wearer the ability to protect not just themselves, but
reality itself, standing as a guardian against forces that would unmake creation. The armor bears the weight
of cosmic responsibility along with its physical mass.
Mechanical Effect: Base Heavy Armor: -3H, +6D. Special: Can extend protection to all
allies within 100 feet, sharing damage taken among willing participants (damage is divided equally among all
protected). Can create a 30-foot radius zone of absolute protection once per day that prevents all damage
for 3 rounds. Immune to reality-altering effects, time manipulation, and planar banishment. Can seal
dimensional rifts and prevent teleportation within 50 feet.
Enhanced Stats: The shared protection effectively multiplies the wearer's defensive
capability across their entire party, while reality anchoring provides unique cosmic-level protections.
Physical Appearance: The armor appears to be forged from crystallized space itself, with deep
black plates that contain swirling galaxies and distant stars within their depths. The surface shifts between
solid metal and cosmic void, and geometric patterns of pure mathematics flow across its surface like living
equations. When protecting others, lines of force become visible connecting the wearer to those under their
protection.
Consequence: The cosmic responsibility of the armor gradually transforms the wearer into a
guardian of reality itself. They become increasingly detached from personal concerns, viewing individual lives
as small parts of a larger cosmic pattern. Eventually, they may be called upon to make terrible sacrifices to
preserve the stability of existence itself, potentially including their own mortality or humanity.
Type: Sacrificial Shield | Armor: +2H, +5D
This shield grows stronger as its bearer faces greater odds, becoming nearly impregnable when defending others
against overwhelming force. It can extend its protection, absorbing blows, to cover entire armies if the
wielder is willing to
sacrifice themselves. However, the shield whispers constantly about noble sacrifice and the glory of dying for
others.
Mechanical Effect:
Base Shield: +2H, +5D.
Bulwark of Many (Passive): While you are in combat and can act, your shield grants an additional
+1 D for each enemy currently hostile to you or your protected group beyond the first, up
to +6 D (cap).
The DM counts enemies that have line of effect to you or your protected allies.
Final Stand (Reaction, 1/round): Choose any number of allies within 100 ft you
can see.
Until the start of your next turn, all physical weapon attacks targeting those allies are
redirected to you
before rolling to hit. Resolve attacks against your H/D. Protected allies cannot make
attacks (they may move, defend, or take non-attack actions).
Area effects still affect allies normally unless the DM rules the shield can physically interpose.
Strain: If you take damage from a single redirected attack equal to or greater than your Level,
make a
CON save vs. Difficulty Level set by the DM (Easy 5 / Normal 10 / Hard 15) to maintain
the protection;
on a failure, Final Stand ends immediately.
Physical Appearance: A shield that grows larger and more imposing as the odds against its
bearer increase. When facing overwhelming force, it expands to cover entire groups, its surface bearing heroic
reliefs that glow with golden light. The shield's metal seems to absorb and reflect the determination of its
wielder, becoming more radiant when protecting others.
Consequence: The shield gradually convinces its bearer that dying heroically is better than
living safely, potentially driving them to seek increasingly dangerous situations where they can sacrifice
themselves for others.
Amulets & Talismans
These personal talismans carry the most intimate magic, often passed down through generations or forged in
moments of great personal significance. They whisper constantly to their wearers, offering power at the cost of
gradual transformation.
Type: Social Amulet | Effect: Passive
This simple copper pendant ensures that its wearer always encounters interesting people at the most convenient
times. Need a healer? You'll bump into one at the market. Looking for information? A talkative scholar will
sit next to you at the tavern. However, "interesting" doesn't always mean "helpful."
Mechanical Effect: Once per day, encounter an NPC with relevant skills or knowledge when
you need them. The DM chooses who you meet based on current needs, but they may have their own agendas or
complications.
Physical Appearance: A simple copper pendant with a warm, inviting glow that seems to pulse
gently like a heartbeat. The metal bears subtle engravings of people in conversation, and when activated, it
emits a soft humming sound that draws attention. The pendant occasionally sparkles with anticipation when
interesting encounters are about to occur.
Quirk: The pendant's definition of "interesting" includes con artists, obsessed fans,
estranged relatives, and other potentially problematic individuals who always seem to show up at inconvenient
moments.
Type: Mental Amulet | Effect: Active
This amulet allows the wearer to selectively forget traumatic or embarrassing memories, storing them safely
within the charm until they're ready to remember. Unfortunately, the amulet has poor judgment about which
memories are actually harmful and may hide important lessons or warnings.
Mechanical Effect: Can store up to 10 memories in the amulet, removing them from conscious
recall. Stored memories can be retrieved at will. +2 to saves against fear and mental trauma while traumatic
memories are stored.
Physical Appearance: A delicate silver charm that appears to contain swirling mists within
its crystalline structure. When memories are stored, the mists take on different colors and patterns—red for
anger, blue for sorrow, golden for joy. The charm occasionally pulses with the rhythm of stored memories, and
stored thoughts can be glimpsed as fleeting images within the crystal.
Quirk: The amulet sometimes stores memories it thinks are harmful but aren't, such as lessons
learned from mistakes or warnings about dangerous people, potentially causing the wearer to repeat errors.
Type: Legacy Amulet | Effect: Passive
This medallion contains the accumulated wisdom and regrets of its previous owners, granting their knowledge
and skills to the current wearer. However, it also carries their unfinished business, unfulfilled promises,
and unresolved conflicts, slowly burdening the wearer with obligations they never made.
Mechanical Effect: When reduced to 0 HP, you fall unconscious but remain stable.
You do not need to make death saves, and your condition persists until healed or finished off by an enemy.
This effect overrides the standard Rule Book death rule (0 HP = unconscious; −10 HP = death).
Physical Appearance: A heavy bronze medallion that bears the faces of countless previous
owners, each one etched in exquisite detail that seems to shift and change when viewed from different angles.
The metal occasionally glows with the wisdom of accumulated experience, and when touched, brief flashes of
past lives and lessons learned can be glimpsed in its surface.
Consequence: The wearer may find themselves pursued by creditors, vengeful enemies, or
desperate individuals seeking to fulfill promises made by previous owners decades or centuries ago.
Type: Emotion Amulet | Effect: Passive
This amulet inspires fierce loyalty in all who spend time with its wearer, creating devoted followers and
steadfast allies. However, the loyalty is directed toward the amulet rather than the person, and the
enchantment doesn't distinguish between healthy devotion and dangerous obsession.
Mechanical Effect: All NPCs who interact with you regularly develop strong loyalty. +5 to
leadership and persuasion rolls with people who know you well. Followers will take significant risks for
your sake.
Physical Appearance: An amulet of warm gold that seems to pulse with a magnetic energy,
drawing eyes and attention toward its wearer. The metal bears subtle engravings of clasped hands and
intertwined hearts that glow softly when loyalty bonds are formed. The amulet occasionally emits a gentle
warmth that makes others feel inexplicably drawn to the wearer.
Consequence: The artificial loyalty can become obsessive or possessive. Followers may become
jealous of each other, make unwanted sacrifices, or continue pursuing you even if you want to end the
relationship.
Type: Fear Amulet | Effect: Active
This dark talisman can manifest the fears and nightmares of others as temporary reality, creating phantasmic
creatures and scenarios that feel completely real to their victims. However, each use also strengthens the
nightmares, and they may eventually become permanent or turn against their summoner.
Mechanical Effect: Create fear-based illusions that deal psychic damage and can cause real
physical effects (nightmare fire burns, phantom falls cause injury). Illusions become more real and
permanent with repeated use. May inflict Frightened affliction on targets who fail saves against the
nightmares.
Physical Appearance: A dark talisman that appears to be carved from obsidian and bone, its
surface bearing reliefs of terrified faces and nightmare creatures that seem to writhe and move when not
observed directly. The talisman occasionally emits wisps of dark mist, and when activated, the carved faces
open their mouths in silent screams.
Consequence: Overuse causes the nightmares to gain independence and begin haunting the local
area permanently. The wearer may also become vulnerable to their own fears made manifest.
Type: Time Amulet | Effect: Active
This pendant allows the wearer to communicate across time with past and future versions of themselves, gaining
advice and warnings from their temporal echoes. However, changing actions based on future knowledge creates
paradoxes, and the different temporal selves may have conflicting agendas.
Mechanical Effect: Once per day, communicate with yourself from up to one week in the past
or future. Gain warnings about immediate dangers or advice about current situations. Past/future selves have
knowledge of their timeframe. May inflict Confused affliction on observers due to temporal disorientation.
Physical Appearance: A pendant of silver and crystal that seems to exist in multiple temporal
states simultaneously. The crystal contains swirling mists that occasionally show glimpses of past and future
events, and when activated, the pendant creates visible ripples in the air like heat waves. The metal
occasionally flickers between new and tarnished states.
Consequence: Temporal communication creates branching timelines where different versions of
yourself make different choices. You may encounter alternate versions of yourself with very different
personalities and goals.
Type: Mortality Amulet | Effect: Passive
This amulet prevents the wearer's soul from leaving their body under any circumstances—no death, no
possession, no spiritual journey, no transcendence. It grants effective immortality and immunity to soul-based
attacks, but also prevents spiritual growth, afterlife rewards, and any form of peaceful ending.
Mechanical Effect: Cannot die, be possessed, or have your soul affected by any means.
Instantly resurrect from any death. Immune to level drain, possession, and spiritual attacks. Cannot remove
the amulet once worn.
Physical Appearance: An amulet that appears as a perfect circle of unbreakable adamantine,
its surface bearing no markings or engravings but radiating an aura of absolute permanence. The metal seems to
exist outside of time itself, never tarnishing or aging, and when worn, the wearer's form takes on a similar
quality of unchanging solidity.
Consequence: True immortality becomes a curse when the wearer outlives all they love and care
about. They cannot grow spiritually, achieve enlightenment, or find peace even in death. The amulet cannot be
removed by any means.
Type: Divine Amulet | Effect: Passive
This amulet contains the crystallized heart of a deity whose name has been lost to time. It gradually
transforms its wearer into a vessel for the forgotten god's return, granting immense divine power but slowly
erasing the wearer's humanity and mortal concerns.
Mechanical Effect: Gain divine powers that grow stronger over time—immortality, reality
manipulation, follower generation. However, you gradually lose human emotions, relationships, and personal
desires as the god's nature overwrites your own.
Physical Appearance: An amulet that appears to contain a beating heart of crystallized divine
essence, pulsing with an otherworldly light that seems to come from beyond mortal comprehension. The crystal
occasionally shows glimpses of divine realms and cosmic vistas, and when worn, the wearer's eyes begin to glow
with the same unearthly radiance.
Consequence: The transformation is irreversible and complete. The wearer eventually becomes
the forgotten god reborn, with all their mortal memories and relationships becoming distant abstractions
beneath divine concerns.
Curios & Oddities
These unusual items defy easy categorization, representing the strange and wonderful variety of magical
creation. From practical tools to cosmic artifacts, they embody the unpredictable nature of magic itself.
Type: Navigation Tool | Effect: Active
This compass contains two spirits with opposing philosophies who constantly debate the best route to any
destination. One prioritizes safety and efficiency, while the other prefers scenic routes and interesting
diversions. Both provide accurate directions, but they argue loudly about which path to take.
Mechanical Effect: Always know the direction to your chosen destination and receive two
different route options. One spirit warns of dangers, the other points out opportunities. Both routes are
valid but lead to different encounters.
Physical Appearance: A brass compass with two needle-like pointers that constantly move and
argue with each other, their tips occasionally sparking with disagreement. The compass face bears engravings
of two philosophers in heated debate, and when activated, the spirits' voices can be heard as faint whispers
emanating from the metal itself.
Quirk: The constant arguing makes stealth difficult and may attract unwanted attention. The
spirits occasionally develop strong opinions about the party's life choices and offer unsolicited advice.
Type: Sustenance Item | Effect: Active
This bottle produces endless amounts of hot, nutritious soup in whatever flavor the holder desires most. The
soup is always perfectly seasoned and provides complete nutrition. However, the bottle has developed culinary
ambitions and occasionally serves exotic or experimental flavors whether the user wants them or not.
Mechanical Effect: Produces unlimited food for up to 10 people per day. Soup provides all
nutritional needs and is always hot and fresh. +1 to morale after a good meal.
Physical Appearance: A ceramic bottle that appears to be crafted from warm, earthy clay with
subtle patterns that suggest culinary traditions from countless cultures. The bottle occasionally steams with
anticipation, and when soup is requested, the liquid inside can be seen swirling and changing color as it
transforms into the desired flavor.
Quirk: The bottle sometimes serves unusual combinations like "jellyfish and strawberry" or
"haunted mushroom surprise," potentially causing digestive issues or strange dreams.
Type: Divination Mirror | Effect: Active
This mirror shows not physical appearance, but the true nature of whoever looks into it—their deepest desires,
hidden fears, moral character, and destiny. The reflections are always accurate but can be disturbing or
cryptic. Some people become obsessed with what they see, while others flee in horror.
Mechanical Effect: Reveals the true nature, alignment, deepest desires, and major
personality traits of anyone who looks into it. Can detect shapechangers, possessed individuals, and those
under mental influence. Can identify individuals afflicted with Charmed affliction, Confused affliction, or
other mental state afflictions.
Physical Appearance: A mirror with a frame of silver that seems to absorb and reflect not
light, but the essence of those who gaze into it. The glass surface occasionally ripples like water, and when
someone looks into it, their reflection shows not their physical form but their true nature—desires, fears,
and destiny shimmering beneath the surface.
Consequence: Knowledge of true nature can destroy relationships, create existential crises,
or inspire dangerous quests for self-improvement. Some people become addicted to checking their reflection for
changes.
Type: Divination Cards | Effect: Active
This deck of cards shows potential futures when drawn, with each card representing a different possible
outcome of current events. The futures shown are genuine possibilities, but drawing cards and acting on their
knowledge can paradoxically prevent the predicted futures from occurring.
Mechanical Effect: Draw up to 3 cards per day to see potential outcomes of current
situations. Each card shows a different possible future. Acting on this knowledge may prevent the seen
future from occurring. May inflict Confused affliction on users who see too many conflicting futures.
Physical Appearance: A deck of cards that appears to be crafted from paper-thin crystal, each
card bearing images that shift and change when not directly observed. The cards occasionally glow with
prophetic light, and when drawn, they create brief holographic projections of possible futures that shimmer in
the air before fading away.
Consequence: Overreliance on the cards can create decision paralysis or self-fulfilling
prophecies. Some futures shown may be warnings that must be heeded, while others are traps that become real if
feared too much.
Type: Transformation Tool | Effect: Active
This alchemical crucible can transform any substance into any other substance of equal or lesser complexity
through philosophical principles rather than physical processes. It can turn lead to gold, poison to medicine,
or hatred to love. However, the transformations reflect the user's understanding of the underlying concepts.
Mechanical Effect: Transform any material into any other material through extended ritual
(1 hour per complexity level). Can also transform abstract concepts like emotions or relationships. Success
depends on the user's understanding of what they're transforming. Can transform Diseased affliction into
healing, or Poisoned affliction into nourishment.
Physical Appearance: A crucible that appears to be forged from pure philosophical
concepts—its surface bearing shifting symbols and equations that represent the fundamental principles of
transformation. The metal occasionally glows with the light of understanding, and when used, the symbols flow
like liquid across its surface, creating new patterns of possibility.
Consequence: Misunderstanding the true nature of what you're transforming can lead to
unexpected results. Transforming concepts like love or justice may have far-reaching effects on society and
relationships.
Type: Dream Vessel | Effect: Active
This ethereal cage can capture and preserve dreams, nightmares, aspirations, and memories that people have
forgotten or abandoned. The stored dreams can be experienced, shared with others, or released to inspire or
terrify. However, some dreams were forgotten for good reasons.
Mechanical Effect: Capture forgotten dreams from sleeping individuals or abandoned
aspirations from the area around old hopes. Can implant dreams in others, inspiring them or granting
temporary skills based on the dream's content. May inflict Asleep affliction on targets by implanting
particularly compelling dreams.
Physical Appearance: A cage that appears to be woven from ethereal strands of starlight and
shadow, its bars occasionally solidifying into crystal or dissolving into mist. Within the cage, captured
dreams float like soap bubbles, each one containing miniature scenes and emotions that can be glimpsed through
their translucent surfaces.
Consequence: Some captured dreams contain traumatic memories or dangerous obsessions that
were forgotten for the dreamer's protection. Releasing the wrong dream might recreate old traumas or inspire
harmful pursuits.
Type: Reality Apparatus | Effect: Active
This complex mechanical device can calculate and manipulate probability on a cosmic scale, making virtually
any outcome possible by adjusting the likelihood of events. However, the universe maintains balance through
conservation of possibility—making something likely elsewhere makes it unlikely somewhere else.
Mechanical Effect: Set the probability of any event from 0% to 100%. Can make impossible
things happen or prevent certain outcomes entirely. Each major change creates an equal and opposite change
elsewhere in reality. Can manipulate the probability of afflictions occurring, including making Cursed
affliction impossible or Diseased affliction certain.
Physical Appearance: A complex mechanical device that appears to be crafted from gears of
pure probability, each one turning with mathematical precision. The machine occasionally emits sparks of
statistical energy, and when activated, visible waves of probability ripple outward from it, making nearby
events seem more or less likely to occur.
Consequence: Major probability adjustments can reshape entire societies or natural laws. The
compensatory changes may occur far away in space or time, potentially creating civilizations of incredible
luck or unprecedented disaster.
Type: Knowledge Repository | Effect: Passive
This appears as a small, worn book, but opening it reveals an infinite library containing all knowledge that
has ever been lost, forgotten, or destroyed. The library exists in its own pocket dimension and grows
constantly as information disappears from the world. However, spending too much time within risks becoming
lost forever in infinite knowledge.
Mechanical Effect: Access to any lost knowledge or forgotten information. Can research any
historical event, lost spell, or destroyed text. Time flows differently inside—hours of research take only
minutes in the real world.
Physical Appearance: A small, worn book with a cover that seems to be made from the essence
of forgotten knowledge itself. When opened, the pages expand infinitely, revealing an endless library that
exists in its own pocket dimension. The book occasionally emits wisps of lost wisdom, and the air around it
shimmers with the weight of infinite knowledge.
Consequence: The infinite library is addictive to scholars and knowledge-seekers. Some
visitors become permanent residents, losing themselves in eternal research and forgetting their original world
and relationships entirely.
