2025 Magic Items (Best of)

Bell of Freedom and Captivity: When struck once, this bell will free prisoners from confinement. Rung twice, it will put them back into whatever confinement they left.

The Cape of Un-bearable Deflection modeled by a Dwarven warrior king

Cape of Un-bearable Deflection: Made from the shaggy brown fur of a giant bear, this cape grants +2 to the wearer’s AC and deflects up to 6 hit points of blunt weapon damage per round.

Catalog of Lamentable Faces: This cursed item looks like a sketchbook full of skillfully drawn, but ugly, human faces. If anyone looks at the whole thing their own face becomes just as ugly (-8 on comeliness.)

Ginger Hunter: A legendary orange gem that glows brightly when a natural redhead is near, allowing these individuals to be tracked or discovered.

Journal of Carafe and Coffin: A slim volume, published yearly, for good-aligned necromancers. It contains community news, possible quests, and a spell or two.

The Lamp of the Minotaur glows a pale yellowish green

Lamp of the Minotaur: When lit, it allows the holder to successfully navigate any sort of dark maze.

Moonmead: A type of alcoholic beverage brewed by druids that calms restless spirits when poured as an offering before their tomb.

Pamphlet of Instant Embarrassment: No one can say, exactly, what the text in this cursed paper item says, but whoever reads it will flush bright red and want to hide.

Ring of Introversion: Causes the wearer to become quiet, soft-spoken, and secretive. A good or bad thing, you decide. Made of braided silver wire set with a cube of petrified wood.

Ring of Three Legs: This ring is made of silver and resembles three naked human legs entwined together. Its purpose is to improve stamina. Whoever wears it can walk, run, or stand one-third longer than they ordinarily would.

Rudgill’s Magic Pen: Draws the day’s adventures in cartoon form, on any media the owner provides. Requires magic ink, such as that from a Kraken, to use.

Tassie’s Mocking Mask

Tassie’s Mocking Mask: A stereotypical Greek theater mask that mimics the target’s voice and mannerisms, causing discord and disorientation.

The Chameleon Comb: Changes the color, texture, and length of the owner’s hair into whatever the person desires, as long as the user chants “Kamma-kamma-kamma-kamma” while combing their tresses.

The Solar Logs of Granthia: Compiled by the High Priests over many centuries, these books enable any Druid to predict a future eclipse.

Trousers of the Werewolf: This cursed item makes the wearer’s legs as dark and hairy as a werewolf’s. Note some people may actually want this transformation.
