Subclasseptember Day 4: Expert

It's always good to have a hidden utility belt full of things that'll be useful for escaping a jail. Also, knives. Lots and lots of knives.

Phasing Dagger (dagger), Uncommon (optional attunement)

Hurling knives has never felt so good, specially when the weapon reappears in your hand after been thrown. The Pashing Dagger’s blade, crafted from a translucent metal, swirls with hues of purple and blue, akin to a cosmic nebula swirling within. The origins of these daggers are unclear, maybe they were created by blacksmiths from other planes and that, by trading good with outer beings, they ended up in the Material Plane.

Can you guess what game I've been playing a lot of? That's right:

Disgaea 7: Vows of the Virtueless

On an unrelated note, I've been chipping away at converting the "important" items from Monster Hunter for use in Fabula Ultima. Pic related, it's basically one of the ways I'm choosing to emulate ammo from MonHun into FabUlt. This is maybe the biggest homebrew project I've undertaken? Like, I'm writing up several methods of simulating MonHun items for FabUlt in varying degrees of complexity, so people can pick and choose how crunchy they wanna get.

All from me for now, real life has been kicking my ass recently. Stay frosty, o' ye internet stranger.

🩸 𝙉𝙚𝙬 𝙄𝙩𝙚𝙢: 𝙑𝙖𝙢𝙥𝙞𝙧𝙞𝙘 𝘿𝙖𝙜𝙜𝙚𝙧 🗡

Simple melee weapon, uncommon

(𝘳𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘶𝘯𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵)

This dagger steals the life energy of a creature it hits and transfers it to its wielder

On a hit, this dagger deals 1d4 piercing damage and 2d6 necrotic damage. Whenever this damage is dealt, the wielder gains temporary hit points equal to half of the necrotic damage dealt, rounded down (minimum of 1).

CUSTOM ITEMS!!!

An interesting fashion piece, paired with utility! What’s not to love?

--------------------------------------------------------------- Bague d’Sol (by dndinedelterre)

Rare, Magic Requires Attunement

This is a small golden ring with an icon of the sun etched onto its top. Once attuned, the wearer can summon a single use +1 rapier 3 times per dawn. Each time it hits, you can add an extra 1d6 fire damage. These three charges replenish each dawn.

--------------------------------------------------------------

This ring originates from the Nation of the Sun, Hiba. Only high priests seem to have them on hand.

have a player wanting to play the classic bog witch archetype. have a homebrew "item"

Pockets of unusual things: attune

There is studied and understood magic surrounding the dense presence of a great number of powerful items, be they magic or not. A dragon's hoard can dull the senses, or corrupt the mind. An overfull graveyard can conjure paranoia, or call spirits. And, apparently, if an old woman stuffs enough gross shit in her pockets, the laws of physics no longer apply.

From an attuned form of storage you may, as a free item interaction, produce a mundane, non-magical, and non-valuable simple item. This item must be able to fit within that method of storage, and be gross or strange in some way.

To attune a form of storage you must store strange or gross items within it, and apply magic to it, whispering words of power or inscribing glyphs at the cost of a 1st level spell slot, at least once a week, for a year. Current forms of attuned storage include; hair, pockets, bag, underwear, socks, false tooth, hat, steamer trunk you left at home.

As this phenomena adds to your “mystique” as a witch, you find your magic more potent.

While you have access to an attuned form of storage, you gain:

+1 to spell attack modifier

+1 to spell save DC

Cursed DND item ideas

Apparently in China peach wood (Along with the rest of the plant) is believed to have properties that repel evil spirits, a little similar to silver in European legends or iron for both European fae and West Asian/Middle eastern Jinn. Taoists sometimes keep swords made of peach wood because of this. This made me realize something. If you took a peach wood stick, and attached studs to it of both silver and iron you'd end up with a club or staff (or mace, flail etc.) that would have the weaknesses of many kinds of supernatural creatures while still retaining effectiveness as a normal weapon (peach is a hardwood and silver's poor edge retention doesn't matter for studs). You could even keep adding new stud materials to get something ridiculous that affects over 120 catalogued folkloric monsters. Since you just need a few little studs you could even get some really expensive materials like meteoric iron (a thumb tip sized meteorite can still cost like 10-20 bucks I think). I could somewhat feasibly make a weapon that affects every monster ever thought to walk the earth, from vampires and werewolves to jinn and jiangshi and even mankind.

CALL ME THE QUEEN OF NICHE PARODY 👑✨

This sticker concept for a Potion of Flight just wouldn't leave my head until I made it. Thankfully at least three people GET IT but if you're also in the middle of this strangely specific Venn diagram you can get your Fantasy Red Bull in my current pre-order campaign.

My first attempt at a homebrew dnd item!

Not quite sure how to make it balanced and make sense in the game but just thought it was a cute fun idea!

Lemme know what I can add to make it better 😀

Subclasseptember Day 7: Stars

Featuring art from the talented @r2d2upgrade! Thank you for giving permission to use your fanart.

The Starlight Rapier! Make a dozen attacks in a single turn. Do any of them hit? Who cares, honestly? It's more important that you turn the battlefield into a rave.

Because of course the fey that shoots giant lasers everywhere is sandbagging just to give you a chance. At least, unless you make her angry. She's quite fond of her butterflies.

Tidal Dragonshell (half plate or plate), Legendary (requires attunement)

Dragon turtles are one of my favorite types of dragons in D&D, so it surprises me that I haven’t done anything out of them in all these years. This one carries a curse that manifests when the wearer is not submerged in water, as it is meant to be worn only by the “guardian of the sea”, a designated role to the chosen champion of this armor that you can read more about in its lore paragraph.

Love the art, 10/10. No complaints on that front.

Mechanically, however, there's a bit of friction between its intended purpose and its actual usage. You use a bonus action to transform it into a weapon and back into an instrument. But Bardic Inspiration is also a bonus action, meaning that a bard would only be able to use this in combat at half efficiency (as presumably you want to be using both your action and bonus action most turns, but you need it to be an instrument for spellcasting/inspiration and a bow for normal attacks). You'd most likely just end up keeping it in instrument form the entire time, rendering the entire point of the item moot.

As it stands, you could reflavor an ordinary instrument and an ordinary crossbow for the same effect. Rare rarity would be far too high to justify using this - that's the rarity you'd give something on par with a Wand of Fireballs. This item is not shooting fireballs.

You could drop the rarity down to mundane and make transforming the item part of the action used for Bardic Inspiration/attacking with the crossbow; that would put it on par with using a nonmagical crossbow and a nonmagical instrument.

Or, if you want to make it a bit spicier, you could give it an additional effect when you transform the item, or a different effect in each of its forms. That's getting into a different design space though.

I designed a weapon for my dnd character :]

Let me know if you use it in any campains!

Blink Gauntlet

Magical Item, Very Rare, Requires Attunement

This gauntlet has 7 charges. On a successful hit with an Unarmed Attack, the user may expend a charge to deal 1d4+Str Force Damage in place of normal unarmed damage.

Additionally, the target of the attack must make a DC15 Charisma Save. On a failed save the target is knocked into the Ethereal Plane until the start of the gauntlet user’s next turn.

The target travels backwards in a straight line between 5 and 30 feet (1d6x5 to determine distance) before reappearing in an unoccupied space.

If the target would reappear in an occupied space or inside a solid object, they instead appear at the next nearest unoccupied space.

(Example: Player rolls a 6, so the target should travel 30ft. That would be inside a rock, so target instead travels 25ft and appears in front of the rock)

The gauntlet regains 1d6+1 charges per long rest.

𝘝𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘙𝘢𝘳𝘦

This sleek black wand is made of a smooth, polished material that seems to absorb all light that touches it. When held, it hums with a barely-audible energy. The wand has 10 charges and regains 1d6+4 expended charges daily at dawn.

As an action, the wielder of the wand can expend 1 charge to instantly teleport up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space they can see that is in dim light or darkness. This ability can be used a number of times per day equal to the wielder's proficiency bonus.

In addition, while holding the wand, the wielder gains the ability to see in darkness as if it were dim light, and they have advantage on Stealth checks made while in dim light or darkness.

The Wand of Shadowstep is highly sought after by rogues and other sneaky adventurers who rely on their ability to move undetected. However, its ability to teleport in and out of darkness also makes it a useful tool for those who need to make a quick escape or strategic repositioning in battle.
