Fantastic Equipment

NIH system includes magic items. It is expected that adventurers will accumulate some items of various worth over the course of their adventures. However, NIH system does not assume, in its core math, that adventurers will have specific magic items at specific levels, especially those that enhance Armor Class, Attack Bonus, Saving Throw modifiers, or Saving Throw DCs. In fact, these kinds of items do not exist. You will not find a single “+1 longsword” here. Enhancements to damage are completely fine. Enhancements to accuracy (or target numbers) cause significant distortions in bounded accuracy and quickly become the dominant option in all but the rarest of cases.

Another core principle is attunement limits. Items that provide lasting, stacking benefits, give permanent new options, or that significantly enhance the combat prowess of a character should generally require attunement. Characters are limited to having 3 items attuned at any one time. Attuning to an item requires you to finish a short rest with it in your possession and consciously decide to attune to it over that short rest. In the fiction layer, attunement represents bonding your spirit with the magic item so that it feeds off of your energy and can act as a part of you (to some limited degree).

Tier

Magic items have a tier assigned to them, which indicates approximately at what stage of play (see Stages of Play in the Core Rules) they become appropriate to find as well as the tier of component required to create them. A GM can deviate from this. For example, killing a much tougher monster than the party would normally face might reward a higher-rarity item than would otherwise be normal. But do so with caution.

The item tiers are:

Crafting Magic Items

To craft magic items, you need a few things.

Magic Item Lists

The presented items are examples; many other magic items may exist. The GM is free to create magic items fitting their own campaign, using these as samples or baselines or inspiration or adapting items from other games entirely. Or just making them up out of whole cloth. Players that want specific items not listed here should talk to their GM.

Magic items are organized alphabetically by category. The categories are:

• armor (including shields, boots, and helmets)
• potions, oils, and scrolls
• rings
• wands
• weapons (including magic staffs, which can be used as quarterstaffs)
• miscellaneous items (often called “wondrous items”)

Armor, Magic

This section contains the various magic items that are worn as armor or clothing, as well as shields.

Boots, belts, cloaks, gloves, and helmets

Even though many types of armor (especially heavy armor) have integrated sabatons (armored boots), belts, gauntlets, and helmets, you can wear magic items listed as boots, belts, cloaks, gloves (or gauntlets), or helmets (or hats) without reducing the protective qualities of the armor. Some magic items (such as the Demon Armor) may impose more specific restrictions. You must wear both of a pair of magic gloves or magic boots to gain any benefit from them. You can only gain the benefits of one pair of boots, one cloak, one pair of gloves or gauntlets, one helmet or hat, and one belt at the same time, even if they do not require attunement.

Robes

Robes cannot be worn with any armor, magical or not, except a mithral breastplate or any chain shirt.

Aelven Chain

Armor (masterwork chain shirt), Hero

This also counts as mithril. You are considered proficient with this armor even if you lack proficiency with medium armor, and can cast spells normally while wearing it even if you would not otherwise be able to.

Animated Shield

Armor (shield), Hero (requires attunement)

While holding this shield, you can speak its command word as a bonus action to cause it to animate. The shield leaps into the air and hovers in your space to protect you as if you were wielding it, leaving your hands free. The shield remains animated for 1 minute, until you use a bonus action to end this effect, or until you are incapacitated or die, at which point the shield falls to the ground or into your hand if you have one free.

Armor of Invulnerability

Armor (Heavy, Cumbersome (+3), Loud, Masterwork, Metallic), legendary (requires attunement)

You have resistance to all damage while you wear this armor. Additionally, you can use an action to make yourself immune to damage from non-legendary effects for 10 minutes or until you are no longer wearing the armor. Once this special action is used, it can’t be used again until the next dawn.

Armor of Energy Resistance

Armor (any), Hero (requires attunement)

You have resistance to one type of damage while you wear this armor. The GM chooses the type or determines it randomly from the options below.

Arrow-Catching Shield

Armor (shield), Hero (requires attunement)

You gain half cover against ranged attacks while you wield this shield. This bonus is in addition to the shield’s normal bonus to AC. In addition, whenever an attacker makes a ranged attack against a target within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to become the target of the attack instead.

Belt of Giant Strength

Belt, varying tier (requires attunement)

While wearing this belt, your Strength score changes to a score granted by the belt. If your Strength is already equal to or greater than the belt’s score, the item has no effect on you.

Six varieties of this belt exist, corresponding with and having rarity according to the six kinds of true giants. The belt of stone giant strength and the belt of frost giant strength look different, but they have the same effect.

Boots of Levitation

Boots, Hero (requires attunement)

While you wear these boots, you can use an action to cast the levitate spell on yourself at will.

Boots of Speed

Boots, Hero (requires attunement)

While you wear these boots, you can use a bonus action and click the boots’ heels together. If you do, the boots double your walking speed, and any creature that makes an opportunity attack against you has disadvantage on the attack roll. If you click your heels together again, you end the effect; otherwise, the effect ends after 1 minute. The boots have three charges; each use expends a charge and all expended charges are restored at dawn.

Boots of Striding and Springing

Boots, Adventurer (requires attunement)

While you wear these boots, your walking speed becomes 30 feet, unless your walking speed is higher, and you have advantage on any saving throw or ability check made to avoid being grappled or restrained.

This cape smells faintly of brimstone. While wearing it, you can use it to cast the dimension door spell as an action. This property of the cape can’t be used again until the next dawn. When you disappear, you leave behind a cloud of smoke, and you appear in a similar cloud of smoke at your destination. The smoke lightly obscures the space you left and the space you appear in, and it dissipates at the end of your next turn. A light or stronger wind disperses the smoke.

Circlet of Blasting

Hat, Adventurer

While wearing this circlet, you can use an action to cast the scorching ray spell with it. When you make the spell’s attacks, you do so with an attack bonus of +5. The circlet can’t be used this way again until the next dawn.

Cloak of Displacement

Cloak, Hero (requires attunement)

While you wear this cloak, it projects an illusion that makes you appear to be standing in a place near your actual location, causing any creature to have disadvantage on attack rolls against you. If you take damage, the property ceases to function until the start of your next turn. This property is suppressed while you are incapacitated, restrained, or otherwise unable to move, and has no affect on creatures that use tremorsense or blindsight to see.

Cloak of Protection

Cloak, Adventurer (requires attunement)

When you take the Deflect action or the Exert action (the latter on a saving throw), you gain a +1 bonus to the effect.

Cloak of the Bat

Cloak, Hero (requires attunement)

While wearing this cloak, you have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks. In an area of dim light or darkness, you can grip the edges of the cloak with both hands and use it to fly at a speed of 40 feet. If you ever fail to grip the cloak’s edges while flying in this way, or if you are no longer in dim light or darkness, you lose this flying speed.

While wearing the cloak in an area of dim light or darkness, you can use your action to cast polymorph on yourself, transforming into a bat. While you are in the form of the bat, you retain your Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. The cloak can’t be used this way again until the next dawn.

Cloak of the Manta Ray

Cloak, Adventurer

In addition, the armor’s clawed gauntlets are light melee weapons that deal slashing damage with a +2 bonus to damage rolls and a damage die of 1d8. You have proficiency in these weapons. You cannot wear any other gloves while attuned to this armor.

Dragon Scale Mail

Armor (Medium, Cumbersome (+1), Loud, Masterwork), Hero (requires attunement)

Dragon scale mail is made of the scales of one kind of dragon. Sometimes dragons collect their cast-off scales and gift them to humanoids. Other times, hunters carefully skin and preserve the hide of a dead dragon. In either case, dragon scale mail is highly valued. While wearing this armor, you have advantage on saving throws against the Frightful Presence and breath weapons of dragons, and you have resistance to one damage type that is determined by the kind of dragon that provided the scales (see the table). Additionally, you can focus your senses as an action to magically discern the distance and direction to the closest dragon within 30 miles of you that is of the same type as the armor. This special action can’t be used again until the next dawn.

Dwarven Plate

Armor (Heavy, Cumbersome (+3), Loud, Masterwork, Metallic), Hero

Gloves of Missile Snaring

Gloves, Adventurer (requires attunement)

These gloves seem to almost meld into your hands when you don them. When a ranged weapon attack hits you while you’re wearing them, you can use your reaction to reduce the damage by 1d10 + your Dexterity modifier, provided that you have a free hand. If you reduce the damage to 0, you can catch the missile if it is small enough for you to hold in that hand. The damage reduction provided by these gloves stacks with the Brawler ability Deflect Attacks.

Gloves of Swimming and Climbing

Gloves, Adventurer (requires attunement)

While wearing these gloves, climbing and swimming don’t cost you extra movement, and you gain a +5 bonus to Strength (Athletics) checks made to climb or swim.

Hat of Disguise

Hat, Adventurer (requires attunement)

While wearing this hat, you can use an action to cast the disguise self spell from it at will. Your spell save DC for this is 8 + your Intelligence modifier + your proficiency bonus. The spell ends if the hat is removed.

Headband of Intellect

Hat, Adventurer (requires attunement)

Your Intelligence score is +4 while you wear this headband. It has no effect on you if your Intelligence is already +4 or higher.

Helm of Brilliance

Hat, Hero (requires attunement)

This dazzling helm is set with 5 diamonds, 10 rubies, 15 fire opals, and 20 opals. Any gem pried from the helm crumbles to dust. When all the gems are removed or destroyed, the helm loses its magic. You gain the following benefits while wearing it:

• You can use an action to cast one of the following spells (save DC 18), using one of the helm’s gems of the specified type as a component: daylight (opal), fireball (fire opal), true seeing (diamond), or wall of fire (ruby). The gem is destroyed when the spell is cast and disappears from the helm.
• As long as it has at least one diamond, the helm emits dim light in a 30-foot radius when at least one undead is within that area. Any undead that starts its turn in that area takes 1d6 radiant damage.
• As long as the helm has at least one ruby, you have resistance to fire damage.
• As long as the helm has at least one fire opal, you can use an action and speak a command word to cause one weapon you are holding to burst into flames. The flames emit bright light in a 10-foot radius and dim light for an additional 10 feet. The flames are harmless to you and the weapon. When you hit with an attack using the blazing weapon, the target takes an extra 1d6 fire damage. The flames last until you use a bonus action to speak the command word again or until you drop or stow the weapon.

While wearing this helm, you understand all spoken languages and can be understood by anyone who speaks at least one language.

Helm of Telepathy

Hat, Adventurer (requires attunement)

While wearing this helm, you can use an action to cast the detect thoughts spell (save DC 13) from it. As long as you maintain concentration on the spell, you can use a bonus action to send a telepathic message to a creature you are focused on. It can reply—using a bonus action to do so—while your focus on it continues. While focusing on a creature with detect thoughts, you can use an action to cast the suggestion spell (save DC 13) from the helm on that creature. Once used, the suggestion property can’t be used again until the next dawn.

Helm of Teleportation

You have advantage on saving throws against spells while you wear this cloak.

Masterwork Armor

Armor (any), Adventurer

This armor has been crafted by an expert to be easy to move in. When you take the Deflect action while wearing this armor, it costs one less Stamina than normal. In addition, medium and heavy masterwork armor allow one additional point of DEX to be added to your AC (ie +3 for medium and +1 for heavy).

Formula. Crafting masterwork armor costs twice as much as normal and requires a proficiency bonus one higher than normal.

• The robe lets you see in all directions, and you have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.
• You have darkvision out to a range of 120 feet.
• You can see invisible creatures and objects, as well as see into the Ethereal Plane, out to a range of 120 feet.The eyes on the robe can’t be closed or averted.Although you can close or avert your own eyes, you are never considered to be doing so while wearing this robe.

A light spell cast on the robe or a daylight spell cast within 5 feet of the robe causes you to be blinded for 1 minute. At the end of each of your turns, you can make a Constitution saving throw (DC 11 for light or DC 15 for daylight), ending the blindness on a success.

Robe of Scintillating Colors

Robe, Hero (requires attunement)

This robe has 3 charges, and it regains 1d3 expended charges daily at dawn. While you wear it, you can use an action and expend 1 charge to cause the garment to display a shifting pattern of dazzling hues until the end of your next turn. During this time, the robe sheds bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light for an additional 30 feet. Creatures that can see you have disadvantage on attack rolls against you. In addition, any creature in the bright light that can see you when the robe’s power is activated must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or become stunned until the effect ends.

Robe of Stars

Robe, Hero (requires attunement)

This black or dark blue robe is embroidered with small white or silver stars. Six stars, located on the robe’s upper front portion, are particularly large. While wearing this robe, you can use an action to pull off one of the stars and use it to cast magic missile, creating 8 darts. Daily at dusk, 1d6 removed stars reappear on the robe. While you wear the robe, you can use an action to enter the Border Shadow along with everything you are wearing and carrying. You remain there until you use an action to return to the plane you were on. You reappear in the last space you occupied, or if that space is occupied, the nearest unoccupied space.

• You have advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.
• Your maximum aether increases by your Intelligence modifier.

Robe of Useful Items

Robe, Adventurer

This robe has cloth patches of various shapes and colors covering it.

Once the last patch is removed, the robe becomes an ordinary garment. The robe has two of each of the following patches:

• Dagger
• Bullseye lantern (filled and lit)
• Steel mirror

• Sack

In addition, the robe has 4d4 other patches. The GM chooses the patches or determines them randomly.

Armor (shield), Hero (requires attunement)

While holding this shield, you have resistance to damage from ranged attacks and magical abilities that affect an area and cause half damage on a successful Dexterity saving throw.

Slippers of Spider Climbing

Boots, Adventurer (requires attunement)

While you wear these light shoes, you can move up, down, and across vertical surfaces and upside down along ceilings, while leaving your hands free. You have a climbing speed equal to your walking speed. However, the slippers don’t allow you to move this way on a slippery surface, such as one covered by ice or oil.

Spellguard Shield

Armor (shield), Hero (requires attunement)

While holding this shield, you have advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects, and spell attacks have disadvantage against you.

Winged Boots

Boots, Hero (requires attunement)

These boots have 3 charges. While you wear these boots, you can expend a charge to gain a flying speed equal to your walking speed for 1 hour. If you are still flying when a charge expires, you descend at a rate of 50 ft per round, taking no fall damage. All expended charges are restored at dawn.

Wings of Flying

Cloak, Hero (requires attunement)

While wearing this cloak, you can use an action to speak its command word. This turns the cloak into a pair of bat wings or bird wings on your back for 1 hour or until you repeat the command word as an action. The wings give you a flying speed of 60 feet. When they disappear, you can’t use them again for 1d4 hours.

Woodland Cloak

Cloak, Adventurer (requires attunement)

While you wear this cloak with its hood up, Wisdom (Perception) checks made to see you have disadvantage, and you have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks made to hide, as the cloak’s color shifts to camouflage you. Pulling the hood up or down requires an action.

Consumables

The items in this section are all linked by the fact that they are truly consumable. They lose efficacy after being used and have no passive effect. A very few have more than one use, but their charges/doses do not restore themselves and each charge or dose can only be used once. Consumables can be crafted for one-half of the usual cost for an item of their tier. Generally, consumables are “safe” for adventurers to find up to one tier lower than their listed value, although in those cases they should be given in small quantities only. Consumables do not require attunement.

Consuming a potion yourself requires a bonus action, while administering it to another requires an action. By default, only creatures with opposable thumbs can activate consumables. Potions are administered by drinking, while oils and unguents are both applied to an item or creature. Generally oils apply to items or objects and unguents to creatures.

Apprentice’s Friend

Potion, Journeyman

This oily black liquid has a strong smell. A single dose of this is approximately 16 ounces of liquid. When consumed by spending your action each turn over the course of 1 minute, the drinker gains the benefit of a short rest. Drinking another Apprentice’s Friend before finishing a long rest still provides the benefit of a short rest, but you gain 5 levels of exhaustion one minute after finishing the drink.

Formula. Crafting this potion requires one quarter-cup of exotic wake-beans and one half-ounce of powdered aether-dense crystal (such as a gemstone). All together, the cost is 75 gp (including the halving for consumables). Brewer’s Kit proficiency (+2) is required.

Bead of Force

Consumable, Hero

This small black sphere measures 3/4 of an inch in diameter and weighs an ounce. Typically, 1d4 + 4 beads of force are found together. You can use an action to throw the bead up to 60 feet. The bead explodes on impact and is destroyed. Each creature within a 10-foot radius of where the bead landed must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or take 5d4 bludgeoning damage. A sphere of transparent force then encloses the area for 1 minute. Any creature that failed the save and is completely within the area is trapped inside this sphere. Creatures that succeeded on the save, or are partially within the area, are pushed away from the center of the sphere until they are no longer inside it. Only breathable air can pass through the sphere’s wall. No attack or other effect can. An enclosed creature can use its action to push against the sphere’s wall, moving the sphere up to half the creature’s walking speed. The sphere can be picked up, and its magic causes it to weigh only 1 pound, regardless of the weight of creatures inside. If dropped or thrown, the creatures inside are not affected by any possible fall damage.

Chime of Opening

Consumable, Adventurer

This hollow metal tube measures about 1 foot long and weighs 1 pound. You can strike it as an action, pointing it at an object within 120 feet of you that can be opened, such as a door, lid, or lock. The chime issues a clear tone, and one lock or latch on the object opens unless the sound can’t reach the object. If no locks or latches remain, the object itself opens. The chime can be used ten times. After the tenth time, it cracks and becomes useless.

Dust of Disappearance

Consumable, Adventurer

Found in a small packet, this powder resembles very fine sand. There is enough of it for one use. When you use an action to throw the dust into the air, you and each creature and object within 10 feet of you become invisible for 2d4 minutes. The duration is the same for all subjects, and the dust is consumed when its magic takes effect. If a creature affected by the dust attacks, casts a spell, causes damage, or imposes a negative condition on another creature, the invisibility ends for that creature.

Dust of Dryness

Consumable, Adventurer

This small packet contains 1d6 + 4 pinches of dust. You can use an action to sprinkle a pinch of it over water. The dust turns a cube of water 15 feet on a side into one marble-sized pellet, which floats or rests near where the dust was sprinkled. The pellet’s weight is negligible. Someone can use an action to smash the pellet against a hard surface, causing the pellet to shatter and release the water the dust absorbed. Doing so ends that pellet’s magic.

An elemental composed mostly of water that is exposed to a pinch of the dust must make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw, taking 10d6 necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Dust of Sneezing and Choking

Consumable, Adventurer

Found in a small container, this powder resembles very fine sand. There is enough of it for one use.

When you use an action to throw a handful of the dust into the air, you and each creature that needs to breathe within 30 feet of you must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or become unable to breathe, while sneezing uncontrollably. A creature affected in this way is incapacitated and suffocating. As long as it is conscious, a creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on it on a success. The lesser restoration incantation can also end the effect on a creature.

Efreeti Bottle

Consumable, Hero

This painted brass bottle weighs 1 pound. When you use an action to remove the stopper, a cloud of thick smoke flows out of the bottle. At the end of your turn, the smoke disappears with a flash of harmless fire, and an efreeti appears in an unoccupied space within 30 feet of you. The first time the bottle is opened, the GM rolls to determine what happens.

If the efreeti grants wishes, those wishes must be clearly stated in a few simple sentences. Attempts to cleverly word wishes to evade the restrictions described here result in the GM warning you or refusing that wish (without expending a wish). No wish can reverse a past event (although it might be able to undo its effects, such as by raising a person who was killed), can make someone fall in love with another person, or grant more wishes. Where possible, the GM will answer the wish by replicating the effect of a spell or legendary effect.

Elemental Gem

Consumable, Adventurer

This gem contains a mote of elemental energy. When you use an action to break the gem, an elemental is summoned as if you had cast the conjure-elemental spell, except no concentration is required, and the gem’s magic is lost. The type of gem determines the elemental summoned by the spell.

Feather Token

Consumable, Hero

This tiny object looks like a feather. Different types of feather tokens exist, each with a different single-use effect. The GM chooses the kind of token or determines it randomly.

Gem of Brightness

Consumable, Adventurer

This prism has 50 charges. While you are holding it, you can use an action to speak one of three command words to cause one of the following effects:

• The first command word causes the gem to shed bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light for an additional 30 feet. This effect doesn’t expend a charge. It lasts until you use a bonus action to repeat the command word or until you use another function of the gem.
• The second command word expends 1 charge and causes the gem to fire a brilliant beam of light atone creature you can see within 60 feet of you. The creature must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or become blinded for 1 minute. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
• The third command word expends 5 charges and causes the gem to flare with blinding light in a 30-foot cone originating from it. Each creature in the cone must make a saving throw as if struck by the beam created with the second command word.

When all of the gem’s charges are expended, the gem becomes a non-magical jewel worth 50 gp.

Marvelous Pigments

Consumable, Hero

Typically found in 1d4 pots inside a fine wooden box with a brush (weighing 1 pound in total), these pigments allow you to create three-dimensional objects by painting them in two dimensions. The paint flows from the brush to form the desired object as you concentrate on its image. Each pot of paint is sufficient to cover 1,000 square feet of a surface, which lets you create inanimate objects or terrain features—such as a door, a pit, flowers, trees, cells, rooms, or weapons—that are up to 10,000 cubic feet. It takes 10 minutes to cover 100 square feet. When you complete the painting, the object or terrain feature depicted becomes a real, non-magical object. Thus, painting a door on a wall creates an actual door that can be opened to whatever is beyond. Painting a pit on a floor creates a real pit, and its depth counts against the total area of objects you create. Nothing created by the pigments can have a value greater than 25 gp. If you paint an object of greater value (such as a diamond or a pile of gold), the object looks authentic, but close inspection reveals it is made from paste, bone, or some other worthless material. If you paint a form of energy such as fire or lightning, the energy appears but dissipates as soon as you complete the painting, doing no harm to anything.

Necklace of Fireballs

Consumable, Hero

This necklace has 1d6 + 3 beads hanging from it. You can use an action to detach a bead and throw it up to 60 feet away. When it reaches the end of its trajectory, the bead detonates as a fireball spell (5 AET, save DC 15). You can hurl multiple beads, or even the whole necklace, as one action. When you do so, increase the effective aether cost of the fireball by 2 (increasing the damage dealt by 1d8) for each bead beyond the first.

Oil of Etherealness

Oil, Hero

Beads of this cloudy gray oil form on the outside of its container and quickly evaporate. The oil can cover a Medium or smaller creature, along with the equipment it’s wearing and carrying (one additional vial is required for each size category above Medium). Applying the oil takes 10 minutes. The affected creature then gains the effect of the etherealness spell for 1 hour.

Oil of Sharpness

Oil, Hero

This clear, gelatinous oil sparkles with tiny, ultra thin silver shards. The oil can coat one slashing or piercing weapon or up to 5 pieces of slashing or piercing ammunition. Applying the oil takes 1 minute. For 1 hour, the coated item is masterwork and has a +6 bonus to damage rolls.

Oil of Slipperiness

Oil, Adventurer

This sticky black unguent is thick and heavy in the container, but it flows quickly when poured. The oil can cover a Medium or smaller creature, along with the equipment it’s wearing and carrying (one additional vial is required for each size category above Medium). Applying the oil takes 10 minutes. The affected creature then gains the effect of a freedom of movement spell for 8 hours. Alternatively, the oil can be poured on the ground as an action, where it covers a 10-foot square, duplicating the effect of the grease spell in that area for 8 hours.

Potion of Animal Friendship

Potion, Adventurer

When you drink this potion and for one hour afterward, you can attempt to convince a beast that you mean it no harm. Choose a beast that you can see within 60 feet. It must be able to hear and see you. The beast must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw (DC 8 + your Charisma modifier + your proficiency bonus) or be charmed by you for 24 hours. If you or one of your companions harms the target, the effect ends. You do not gain any direct control over the charmed beast, but you may be able to interact with it (e.g. offering it treats) to convince it to do simple tasks. While charmed, you can understand its desires and communicate yours to it, but it decides how it acts.

Potion of Clairvoyance

Potion, Hero

When you drink this potion, you gain the effect of the clairvoyance incantation. An eyeball bobs in this yellowish liquid but vanishes when the potion is opened.

Potion of Climbing

Potion, Journeyman

When you drink this potion, you gain a climbing speed equal to your walking speed for 1 hour. During this time, you have advantage on Strength (Athletics) checks you make to climb. The potion is separated into brown, silver, and gray layers resembling bands of stone. Shaking the bottle fails to mix the colors.

Potion of Diminution

Potion, Hero

When you drink this potion, you gain the “reduce” effect of the enlarge/reduce spell for 1d4 hours (no concentration required). The red in the potion’s liquid continuously contracts to a tiny bead and then expands to color the clear liquid around it. Shaking the bottle fails to interrupt this process.

Potion of Flying

Potion, Hero

When you drink this potion, you gain a flying speed equal to your walking speed for 1 hour and can hover. If you’re in the air when the potion wears off, you fall unless you have some other means of staying aloft.

Potion of Gaseous Form

Potion, Hero

When you drink this potion, you gain the effect of the gaseous form spell for 1 hour (no concentration required) or until you end the effect as a bonus action. This potion’s container seems to hold fog that moves and pours like water.

Potion of Giant Strength

Potion, tier varies

When you drink this potion, your Strength score changes for 1 hour. The type of giant determines the score (see the table below). The potion has no effect on you if your Strength is equal to or greater than that score. This potion’s transparent liquid has floating in it a sliver of fingernail from a giant of the appropriate type. The potion of frost giant strength and the potion of stone giant strength have the same effect.

Potion of Growth

Potion, Adventurer

When you drink this potion, you gain the “enlarge” effect of the enlarge-reduce spell for 1d4 hours (no concentration required). The red in the potion’s liquid continuously expands from a tiny bead to color the clear liquid around it and then contracts. Shaking the bottle fails to interrupt this process.

Potion of Healing

Potion, tier varies

You regain hit points when you drink this potion. The number of hit points depends on the potion’s rarity, as shown in the Potions of Healing table. Whatever its potency, the potion’s red liquid glimmers when agitated.

Formula. Crafting a potion of healing requires healing herbs and aether-rich powders, including powdered bloodstone, as well as proficiency in either Herbalism Kits or Alchemist’s Tools. The total cost and required proficiency is shown in the Potions of Healing table. The listed cost includes the discount for being consumable.

Special: Crafting potions of healing is faster than normal—the time to craft a potion of healing is shown in the Potions of Healing table.

Potion of Heroism

Potion, Hero

For 1 hour after drinking it, you gain 10 temporary hit points that last for 1 hour. For the same duration, you are under the effect of the bless spell (no concentration required). This blue potion bubbles and steams as if boiling.

Potion of Invisibility

Potion, Hero

This potion’s container looks empty but feels as though it holds liquid. When you drink it, you become invisible for 1 hour. Any object you wear or carry, whether you were carrying it when the effect started or not, is invisible with you. Items you stop wearing or carrying appear abruptly. The effect ends early if you attack, cast a spell, cause damage, or cause a condition on another creature.

Potion of Mind Reading

Potion, Hero

When you drink this potion, you gain the effect of the detect thoughts spell (save DC 13). The potion’s dense, purple liquid has an ovoid cloud of pink floating in it.

You can breathe underwater for 1 hour after drinking this potion. Its cloudy green fluid smells of the sea and has a jellyfish-like bubble floating in it.

Formula. Crafting this item requires one ounce of powdered air-aether-rich gemstone, such as a pearl. The cost is 50 gp and requires alchemy or herbalism kit proficiency (+2).

Purple Worm Oil

Oil, Adventurer

This oily toxin coats weapons or objects, eating away at those who come in contact with it. This oil can be applied to an object or weapon (one melee weapon or up to 20 pieces of ammunition) over the course of 1 minute and lasts until someone touches the object or is hit by the weapon.

A creature that touches the poisoned item or is hit by the poisoned weapon takes 3d6 poison damage, and must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned. At the start of each of of their turns while poisoned in this way, the target takes 3d6 poison damage. At the end of each of their turns, they can repeat the saving throw. On a successful save, the poison damage they take on your subsequent turns decreases by 1d6. The poison ends when the damage decreases to 0.

Restorative Ointment

Unguent, Adventurer

This glass jar, 3 inches in diameter, contains 1d4 + 1 doses of a thick mixture that smells faintly of aloe. The jar and its contents weigh 1/2 pound. As an action, one dose of the ointment can be applied to the skin. The creature that receives it regains 2d8 + 2 hit points, ceases to be poisoned, and is cured of any disease.

Sovereign Glue

Oil, Hero

This viscous, milky-white substance can form a permanent adhesive bond between any two objects. It must be stored in a jar or flask that has been coated inside with oil of slipperiness. When found, a container contains 1d6 + 1 ounces. One ounce of the glue can cover a 1-foot square surface. The glue takes 1 minute to set. Once it has done so, the bond it creates can be broken only by the application of universal solvent, oil of etherealness, or a DC 30 Strength check.

Spell Scroll or Stone

Scroll, varies

A spell scroll (or stone, the only difference being the appropriate tool proficiency for crafting) bears the words of a single spell, written in a mystical cipher. You can read the scroll and cast its spell without providing any material components. Casting the spell by reading the scroll requires the spell’s normal casting time. Once the spell is cast, the words on the scroll fade, and it crumbles to dust. If the casting is interrupted, the scroll is not lost.

If the spell has a base cost higher than your aether limit, you must make an ability check using your spellcasting ability to determine whether you cast it successfully. If you do not have a spellcasting ability, use Intelligence. The DC equals 10 + half the aether cost. On a failed check, the spell disappears from the scroll with no other effect. Legendary effects count as having an aether cost of 18.

The base aether cost of the spell on the scroll determines the spell’s saving throw DC and attack bonus, as well as the scroll’s tier, as shown in the Spell Scroll table.

Formula. Crafting a spell scroll or stone requires either fine parchment (for a scroll) or a quartz crystal (for a stone) and aether-infused ink, altogether costing money as shown on the Spell Scroll Cost table. Scrolls require Calligrapher’s Tools proficiency and stones require Jeweler’s Tools proficiency. The required proficiency bonus is also shown on the table. Only one person can contribute to crafting a spell scroll or stone in any given day. Legendary spell scrolls/stones cannot be crafted by normal means.

Universal Solvent

Wondrous item, Adventurer

This tube holds milky liquid with a strong alcohol smell. You can use an action to pour the contents of the tube onto a surface within reach. The liquid instantly dissolves up to 1 square foot of adhesive it touches, including sovereign glue.

Miscellaneous Magic Items

Bag of Holding

Wondrous item, Adventurer

This bag has an interior space considerably larger than its outside dimensions, roughly 2 feet in diameter at the mouth and 4 feet deep. The bag can hold up to 500 pounds, not exceeding a volume of 64 cubic feet. The bag weighs 15 pounds, regardless of its contents. Retrieving an item from the bag requires an action.

If the bag is overloaded, pierced, or torn, it ruptures and is destroyed, and its contents fall out. If the bag is turned inside out, its contents spill forth, unharmed, but the bag must be put right before it can be used again. Breathing creatures inside the bag can survive up to a number of minutes equal to 10 divided by the number of creatures (minimum 1 minute), after which time they begin to suffocate.

If you place a bag of holding inside another item that manipulates space or weight, such as a handy haversack or a portable hole, it counts towards the space and weight capacity of that other item as if it was a non-magical bag of its total volume and present contents.

Bag of Tricks

Wondrous item, Adventurer

This ordinary bag, made from gray, rust, or tan cloth, appears empty. Reaching inside the bag, however, reveals the presence of a small, fuzzy object. The bag weighs 1/2 pound.

You can use an action to pull the fuzzy object from the bag and throw it up to 20 feet. When the object lands, it transforms into a creature you determine by rolling a d8 and consulting the table that corresponds to the bag’s color. The creature vanishes at the next dawn or when it is reduced to 0 hit points.

The creature is friendly to you and your companions, and it acts on your turn. You can use a bonus action to command how the creature moves and what action it takes on its next turn, or to give it general orders, such as to attack your enemies. In the absence of such orders, the creature acts in a fashion appropriate to its nature.

Once three fuzzy objects have been pulled from the bag, the bag can’t be used again until the next dawn.

Bowl of Commanding Water Elementals

Wondrous item, Hero

While this bowl is filled with water, you can use an action to speak the bowl’s command word and summon a water elemental, as if you had cast the conjure elemental spell. The bowl can’t be used this way again until the next dawn.

The bowl is about 1 foot in diameter and half as deep. It weighs 3 pounds and holds about 3 gallons.

Brazier of Commanding Fire Elementals

Wondrous item, Hero

While a fire burns in this brass brazier, you can use an action to speak the brazier’s command word and summon a fire elemental, as if you had cast the conjure elemental spell. The brazier can’t be used this way again until the next dawn.

The brazier weighs 5 pounds.

Broom of Flying

Wondrous item, Hero

This wooden broom, which weighs 3 pounds, functions like a mundane broom until you sit astride it and speak its command word. It then hovers beneath you and can be ridden in the air, but controlling it requires both hands and your action each turn. It has a flying speed of 50 feet. It can carry up to 400 pounds, but its flying speed becomes 30 feet while carrying over 200 pounds. The broom stops hovering when you land. You can send the broom to travel alone to a destination within 1 mile of you if you speak the command word, name the location, and are familiar with that place. The broom comes back to you when you speak another command word, provided that the broom is still within 1 mile of you.

Carpet of Flying

Wondrous item, Hero

You can speak the carpet’s command word as an action to make the carpet hover and fly. It moves according to your spoken directions, provided that you are within 30 feet of it.

Four sizes of carpet of flying exist. The GM chooses the size of a given carpet or determines it randomly.

A carpet can carry up to twice the weight shown on the table, but it flies at half speed if it carries more than its normal capacity.

Censer of Controlling Air Elementals

Wondrous item, Hero

While incense is burning in this censer, you can use an action to speak the censer’s command word and summon an air elemental, as if you had cast the conjure elemental spell. The censer can’t be used this way again until the next dawn.

This 6-inch-wide, 1-foot-high vessel resembles a chalice with a decorated lid. It weighs 1 pound.

Crystal Ball

Wondrous item, Hero or legendary (requires attunement)

The typical crystal ball, a Hero item, is about 6 inches in diameter. While touching it, you can cast the scrying incantation (save DC 17) with it. Once you use this property, you cannot do so again until the next dawn.

The following crystal ball variants are legendary items and have additional properties.

Crystal Ball of Mind Reading. You can use an action to cast the detect thoughts spell (save DC 17) while you are scrying with the crystal ball, targeting creatures you can see within 30 feet of the spell’s sensor. You don’t need to concentrate on this detect thoughts to maintain it during its duration, but it ends if scrying ends.

Crystal Ball of Telepathy. While scrying with the crystal ball, you can communicate telepathically with creatures you can see within 30 feet of the spell’s sensor. You can also use an action to cast the suggestion spell (save DC 17) through the sensor on one of those creatures. You don’t need to concentrate on this suggestion to maintain it during its duration, but it ends if scrying ends. Once used, the suggestion power of the crystal ball can’t be used again until the next dawn.

Crystal Ball of True Seeing. While scrying with the crystal ball, you have truesight with a radius of 120 feet centered on the spell’s sensor.

Cube of Force

Wondrous item, Hero (requires attunement)

This cube is about an inch across. Each face has a distinct marking on it that can be pressed. The cube starts with 36 charges, and it regains 1d20 expended charges daily at dawn. You can use an action to press one of the cube’s faces, expending a number of charges based on the chosen face, as shown in the Cube of Force Faces table. Each face has a different effect. If the cube has insufficient charges remaining, nothing happens. Otherwise, a barrier of invisible force springs into existence, forming a cube 15 feet on a side. The barrier is centered on you, moves with you, and lasts for 1 minute, until you use an action to press the cube’s sixth face, or the cube runs out of charges. You can change the barrier’s effect by pressing a different face of the cube and expending the requisite number of charges, resetting the duration. If your movement causes the barrier to come into contact with a solid object that can’t pass through the cube, you can’t move any closer to that object as long as the barrier remains.

Cubic Gate

Wondrous item, legendary

This cube is 3 inches across and radiates palpable magical energy. The six sides of the cube are each keyed to a different plane of existence, one of which is the Material Plane. The other sides are linked to planes determined by the GM.

You can use an action to press one side of the cube to cast the gate incantation with it, opening a portal to the plane keyed to that side.

Alternatively, if you use an action to press one side twice, you can cast the plane shift incantation (save DC 17) with the cube and transport the targets to the plane keyed to that side.

The cube has 3 charges. Each use of the cube expends 1 charge. The cube regains 1d3 expended charges daily at dawn.

Decanter of Endless Water

Wondrous item, Adventurer

This stoppered flask sloshes when shaken, as if it contains water. The decanter weighs 2 pounds. You can use an action to remove the stopper and speak one of three command words, whereupon an amount of fresh water or salt water (your choice) pours out of the flask. The water stops pouring out at the start of your next turn. Choose from the following options:

• “Stream” produces 1 gallon of water.
• “Fountain” produces 5 gallons of water.
• “Geyser” produces 30 gallons of water that gushes forth in a geyser 30 feet long and 1 foot wide. As a bonus action while holding the decanter, you can aim the geyser at a creature you can see within 30feet of you. The target must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or take 1d4 bludgeoning damage and fall prone. Instead of a creature, you can target an object that isn’t being worn or carried and that weighs no more than 200 pounds.The object is either knocked over or pushed up to 15 feet away from you.

Efficient Quiver

Wondrous item, Adventurer

Each of the quiver’s three compartments connects to an extra-dimensional space that allows the quiver to hold numerous items while never weighing more than 2 pounds. The shortest compartment can hold up to sixty arrows, bolts, or similar objects. The midsize compartment holds up to eighteen javelins or similar objects. The longest compartment holds up to six long objects, such as bows, quarterstaffs, or spears. You can draw any item the quiver contains as if doing so from a regular quiver or scabbard.

Eversmoking Bottle

Wondrous item, Adventurer

Smoke leaks from the lead-stoppered mouth of this brass bottle, which weighs 1 pound. When you use an action to remove the stopper, a cloud of thick smoke pours out in a 60-foot radius from the bottle. The cloud’s area is heavily obscured. Each minute the bottle remains open and within the cloud, the radius increases by 10 feet until it reaches its maximum radius of 120 feet.

The cloud persists as long as the bottle is open. Closing the bottle requires you to speak its command word as an action. Once the bottle is closed, the cloud disperses after 10 minutes. A moderate wind (11 to 20 miles per hour) can also disperse the smoke after 1 minute, and a strong wind (21 or more miles per hour) can do so after 1 round.

Figurine of Wondrous Power

Wondrous item, tier varies

A figurine of wondrous power is a statuette of a beast small enough to fit in a pocket. If you use an action to speak the command word and throw the figurine to a point on the ground within 60 feet of you, the figurine becomes a living creature. If the space where the creature would appear is occupied by other creatures or objects, or if there isn’t enough space for the creature, the figurine doesn’t become a creature.

The creature is friendly to you and your companions. It understands your languages and obeys your spoken commands. If you issue no commands, the creature defends itself but takes no other actions. The creature exists for a duration specific to each figurine. At the end of the duration, the creature reverts to its figurine form. It reverts to a figurine early if it drops to 0 hit points or if you use an action to speak the command word again while touching it. When the creature becomes a figurine again, its property can’t be used again until a certain amount of time has passed, as specified in the figurine’s description.

• The goat of traveling can become a Large goat with the same statistics as a riding horse. It has 24 charges, and each hour or portion thereof it spends in beast form costs 1 charge. While it has charges, you can use it as often as you wish. When it runs out of charges, it reverts to a figurine and can’t be used again until 7 days have passed, when it regains all its charges.
• The goat of travail becomes a giant goat for up to 3hours. Once it has been used, it can’t be used again until 30 days have passed.
• The goat of terror becomes a giant goat for up to 3hours. The goat can’t attack, but you can remove its horns and use them as weapons. One horn becomes a +1 lance, and the other becomes a +2 longsword. Removing a horn requires an action, and the weapons disappear and the horns return when the goat reverts to figurine form. In addition,the goat radiates a 30-foot-radius aura of terror while you are riding it. Any creature hostile to you that starts its turn in the aura must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened of the goat for 1 minute, or until the goat reverts to figurine form. The frightened creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns,ending the effect on itself on a success. Once it successfully saves against the effect, a creature is immune to the goat’s aura for the next 24 hours. Once the figurine has been used, it can’t be used again until 15 days have passed.

Folding Boat

Wondrous item, Hero

This object appears as a wooden box that measures 12 inches long, 6 inches wide, and 6 inches deep. It weighs 4 pounds and floats. It can be opened to store items inside. This item also has three command words, each requiring you to use an action to speak it. One command word causes the box to unfold into a boat 10 feet long, 4 feet wide, and 2 feet deep. The boat has one pair of oars, an anchor, a mast, and a lateen sail. The boat can hold up to four Medium creatures comfortably. The second command word causes the box to unfold into a ship 24 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 6 feet deep. The ship has a deck, rowing seats, five sets of oars, a steering oar, an anchor, a deck cabin, and a mast with a square sail. The ship can hold fifteen Medium creatures comfortably. When the box becomes a vessel, its weight becomes that of a normal vessel its size, and anything that was stored in the box remains in the boat. The third command word causes the folding boat to fold back into a box, provided that no creatures are aboard. Any objects in the vessel that can’t fit inside the box remain outside the box as it folds. Any objects in the vessel that can fit inside the box do so.

Gem of Seeing

Wondrous item, Hero (requires attunement)

This gem has 3 charges. As an action, you can speak the gem’s command word and expend 1 charge. For the next 10 minutes, you have truesight out to 120 feet when you peer through the gem.

The gem regains 1d3 expended charges daily at dawn.

Handy Haversack

Wondrous item, Hero

This backpack has a central pouch and two side pouches, each of which is an extradimensional space. Each side pouch can hold up to 20 pounds of material, not exceeding a volume of 2 cubic feet. The large central pouch can hold up to 8 cubic feet or 80 pounds of material. The backpack always weighs 5 pounds, regardless of its contents.

Placing an object in the haversack follows the normal rules for interacting with objects. Retrieving an item from the haversack requires you to use an action. When you reach into the haversack for a specific item, the item is always magically on top.

The haversack has a few limitations. If it is overloaded, or if a sharp object pierces it or tears it, the haversack ruptures and is destroyed. If the haversack is destroyed, its contents spill forth, unharmed. If the haversack is turned inside out, its contents spill forth, unharmed, and the haversack must be put right before it can be used again. If a breathing creature is placed within the haversack, the creature can survive for up to 10 minutes, after which time it begins to suffocate.

If you place a handy haversack inside another item that manipulates space or weight, such as a bag of holding or a portable hole, it counts towards the space and weight capacity of that other item as if it was a non-magical bag of its total volume and present contents.

Horn of Blasting

Wondrous item, Hero

You can use an action to speak the horn’s command word and then blow the horn, which emits a thunderous blast in a 30-foot cone that is audible 600 feet away. Each creature in the cone must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 5d6 thunder damage and is deafened for 1 minute. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much damage and isn’t deafened. Creatures and objects made of glass or crystal have disadvantage on the saving throw and take 10d6 thunder damage instead of 5d6. Each use of the horn’s magic has a 20 percent chance of causing the horn to explode. The explosion deals 10d6 fire damage to the blower and destroys the horn.

Horseshoes of a Zephyr

Wondrous item, Hero

These iron horseshoes come in a set of four. While all four shoes are affixed to the hooves of a horse or similar creature, they allow the creature to move normally while floating 4 inches above the ground. This effect means the creature can cross or stand above non-solid or unstable surfaces, such as water or lava. The creature leaves no tracks and ignores difficult terrain. In addition, the creature can move at normal speed for up to 12 hours a day without suffering exhaustion from a forced march.

Horseshoes of Speed

Wondrous item, Hero

These iron horseshoes come in a set of four. While all four shoes are affixed to the hooves of a horse or similar creature, they increase the creature’s walking speed by 30 feet.

Immovable Rod

Rod, Adventurer

This flat iron rod has a button on one end. You can use an action to press the button, which causes the rod to become magically fixed in place relative to the surface of the planet or a vehicle of Huge size or larger that you are riding. Until you or another creature uses an action to push the button again, the rod doesn’t move, even if it is defying gravity. The rod can hold up to 8,000 pounds of weight. More weight causes the rod to deactivate and fall. A creature can use an action to make a DC 30 Strength check, moving the fixed rod up to 10 feet on a success.

Instant Fortress

Wondrous item, Hero

You can use an action to place this 1-inch metal cube on the ground and speak its command word. The cube rapidly grows into a fortress that remains until you use an action to speak the command word that dismisses it, which works only if the fortress is empty.

The fortress is a square tower, 20 feet on a side and 30 feet high, with arrow slits on all sides and a battlement atop it. Its interior is divided into two floors, with a ladder running along one wall to connect them. The ladder ends at a trapdoor leading to the roof. When activated, the tower has a small door on the side facing you. The door opens only at your command, which you can speak as a bonus action. It is immune to magic that would force it open, such as that of a chime of opening.

Each creature in the area where the fortress appears must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw, taking 10d10 bludgeoning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. In either case, the creature is pushed to an unoccupied space outside but next to the fortress. Objects in the area that aren’t being worn or carried take this damage and are pushed automatically. The tower is made of adamantine, and its magic prevents it from being tipped over. The roof, the door, and the walls each have 100 hit points, immunity to damage from weapons excluding siege weapons or adamantine weapons, and resistance to all other damage. Damage done to the tower cannot be repaired, and if any piece is destroyed, the fortress immediately returns to its cube form and no longer functions.

Iron Bands of Binding

Wondrous item, Hero

This rusty iron sphere measures 3 inches in diameter and weighs 1 pound. You can use an action to speak the command word and throw the sphere at a Huge or smaller creature you can see within 60 feet of you. As the sphere moves through the air, it opens into a tangle of metal bands. Make a ranged attack roll with an attack bonus equal to your Dexterity modifier plus your proficiency bonus. On a hit, the target is restrained until you take a bonus action to speak the command word again to release it. Doing so, or missing with the attack, causes the bands to contract and become a sphere once more. A creature, including the one restrained, can use an action to make a DC 20 Strength check to break the iron bands. On a success, the item is destroyed, and the restrained creature is freed. If the check fails, any further attempts made by that creature automatically fail until 24 hours have elapsed. Once the bands are used, they can’t be used again until the next dawn.

Iron Flask

Wondrous item, legendary

This iron bottle has a brass stopper. You can use an action to speak the flask’s command word, targeting a creature that you can see within 60 feet of you. If the target is native to a plane of existence other than the one you’re on, the target must succeed on a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw or be trapped in the flask. If the target has been trapped by the flask before, it has advantage on the saving throw. Once trapped, a creature remains in the flask until released. The flask can hold only one creature at a time. A creature trapped in the flask doesn’t need to breathe, eat, or drink and doesn’t age. You can use an action to remove the flask’s stopper and release the creature the flask contains. The creature is friendly to you and your companions for 1 hour and obeys your commands for that duration. If you give no commands or give it a command that is likely to result in its death, it defends itself but otherwise takes no actions. At the end of the duration, the creature acts in accordance with its normal disposition. An identify spell reveals that a creature is inside the flask, but the only way to determine the type of creature is to open the flask. A newly discovered bottle might already contain a creature chosen by the GM.

Lantern of Revealing

Wondrous item, Adventurer

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

Manual of Golems

Wondrous item, Hero

This tome contains information and incantations necessary to make a particular type of golem. The GM chooses the type or determines it randomly. To decipher and use the manual, you must be at least 12th level and have an Intelligence modifier of +3 or higher. A creature that can’t use a manual of golems and attempts to read it takes 6d6 psychic damage.

To create a golem, you must spend the time shown on the table, working without interruption with the manual at hand and resting no more than 8 hours per day. You must also pay the specified cost to purchase supplies. Once you finish creating the golem, the book is consumed in eldritch flames. The golem becomes animate when the ashes of the manual are sprinkled on it. It is under your control, and it understands and obeys your spoken commands.

Pipes of Haunting

Wondrous item, Adventurer

You must be proficient with wind instruments to use these pipes. They have 3 charges. You can use an action to play them and expend 1 charge to create an eerie, spellbinding tune. Each creature within 30 feet of you that hears you play must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened of you for 1 minute. If you wish, all creatures in the area that aren’t hostile toward you automatically succeed on the saving throw. A creature that fails the saving throw can repeat it at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. A creature that succeeds on its saving throw is immune to the effect of these pipes for 24 hours. The pipes regain 1d3 expended charges daily at dawn.

Pipes of the Sewers

Wondrous item, Adventurer (requires attunement)

You must be proficient with wind instruments to use these pipes. While you are attuned to the pipes, ordinary rats and giant rats are indifferent toward you and will not attack you unless you threaten or harm them.

The pipes have 3 charges. If you play the pipes as an action, you can use a bonus action to expend 1 to 3 charges, calling forth one swarm of rats with each expended charge, provided that enough rats are within half a mile of you to be called in this fashion (as determined by the GM). If there aren’t enough rats to form a swarm, the charge is wasted. Called swarms move toward the music by the shortest available route but aren’t under your control otherwise. The pipes regain 1d3 expended charges daily at dawn. Whenever a swarm of rats that isn’t under another creature’s control comes within 30 feet of you while you are playing the pipes, you can make a Charisma check contested by the swarm’s Wisdom check. If you lose the contest, the swarm behaves as it normally would and can’t be swayed by the pipes’ music for the next 24 hours. If you win the contest, the swarm is swayed by the pipes’ music and becomes friendly to you and your companions for as long as you continue to play the pipes each round as an action. A friendly swarm obeys your commands. If you issue no commands to a friendly swarm, it defends itself but otherwise takes no actions. If a friendly swarm starts its turn and can’t hear the pipes’ music, your control over that swarm ends, and the swarm behaves as it normally would and can’t be swayed by the pipes’ music for the next 24 hours.

Portable Hole

Wondrous item, Hero

This fine black cloth, soft as silk, is folded up to the dimensions of a handkerchief. It unfolds into a circular sheet 6 feet in diameter. You can use an action to unfold a portable hole and place it on or against a solid surface, whereupon the portable hole creates an extradimensional hole 10 feet deep. The cylindrical space within the hole exists on a different plane, so it can’t be used to create open passages. Any creature inside an open portable hole can exit the hole by climbing out of it. You can use an action to close a portable hole by taking hold of the edges of the cloth and folding it up. Folding the cloth closes the hole, and any creatures or objects within remain in the extradimensional space. No matter what’s in it, the hole weighs next to nothing. If the hole is folded up, a creature within the hole’s extradimensional space can use an action to make a DC 10 Strength check. On a successful check, the creature forces its way out and appears within 5 feet of the portable hole or the creature carrying it. A breathing creature within a closed portable hole can survive for up to 10 minutes, after which time it begins to suffocate.

If you place a portable hole inside another item that manipulates space or weight, such as a handy haversack or a bag of holding, it counts towards the space and weight capacity of that other item as if it was a non-magical bag of its total volume and present contents.

Rope of Climbing

Wondrous item, Adventurer

This 60-foot length of silk rope weighs 3 pounds and can hold up to 3,000 pounds. If you hold one end of the rope and use an action to speak the command word, the rope animates. As a bonus action, you can command the other end to move toward a destination you choose. That end moves 10 feet on your turn when you first command it and 10 feet on each of your turns until reaching its destination, up to its maximum length away, or until you tell it to stop. You can also tell the rope to fasten itself securely to an object or to unfasten itself, to knot or unknot itself, or to coil itself for carrying. If you tell the rope to knot, large knots appear at 1-foot intervals along the rope. While knotted, the rope shortens to a 50-foot length and grants advantage on checks made to climb it.

The rope has AC 20 and 20 hit points. It regains 1 hit point every 5 minutes as long as it has at least 1 hit point. If the rope drops to 0 hit points, it is destroyed.

Rope of Entanglement

Wondrous item, Hero

This rope is 30 feet long and weighs 3 pounds. If you hold one end of the rope and use an action to speak its command word, the other end darts forward to entangle a creature you can see within 20 feet of you. The target must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or become restrained.

You can release the creature by using a bonus action to speak a second command word. A target restrained by the rope can use an action to make a DC 15 Strength or Dexterity check (target’s choice). On a success, the creature is no longer restrained by the rope.

The rope has AC 20 and 20 hit points. It regains 1 hit point every 5 minutes as long as it has at least 1 hit point. If the rope drops to 0 hit points, it is destroyed.

Scarab of Protection

If you hold this beetle-shaped medallion in your hand for 1 round, an inscription appears on its surface revealing its magical nature. It provides two benefits while it is on your person:

• You have advantage on saving throws against spells.

If you fail a saving throw against a spell that deals necrotic damage or a harmful effect originating from an undead creature, you can use your reaction to expend 1 charge and turn the failed save into a successful one. The scarab crumbles into powder and is destroyed when its last charge is expended.

Well of Many Worlds

Wondrous item, legendary

This fine black cloth, soft as silk, is folded up to the dimensions of a handkerchief. It unfolds into a circular sheet 6 feet in diameter. You can use an action to unfold and place the well of many worlds on a solid surface, whereupon it creates a two-way portal to another world or plane of existence. Each time the item opens a portal, the GM decides where it leads. You can use an action to close an open portal by taking hold of the edges of the cloth and folding it up. Once well of many worlds has opened a portal, it can’t do so again for 1d8 hours.

Wind Fan

Wondrous item, Adventurer

While holding this fan, you can use an action to cast the gust of wind spell (save DC 13) from it. Once used, the fan shouldn’t be used again until the next dawn. Each time it is used again before then, it has a cumulative 20 percent chance of not working and tearing into useless, non-magical tatters.

They don’t prevent the creature from passing through an interdimensional portal. You and any creature you designate when you use the shackles can use an action to remove them. Once every 30 days, the bound creature can make a DC 30 Strength (Athletics) check. On a success, the creature breaks free and destroys the shackles.

This ring stores spells cast into it, holding them until the attuned wearer uses them. The ring can store up to 12 aether worth of spells at a time. When found, it contains 6 aether of stored spells chosen by the GM.

Any creature can cast a spell costing 12 or less aether into the ring by touching the ring as the spell is cast. The spell has no effect, other than to be stored in the ring. If the ring can’t hold the spell, the spell is expended without effect. The base aether cost of the spell determines how much space it uses.

While wearing this ring, you can cast any spell stored in it.

Ring of Three Wishes

Ring, legendary

While wearing this ring, you can use an action to expend 1 of its 3 charges to make a wish. The ring becomes nonmagical when you use the last charge.

Wishes must be clearly stated in a few simple sentences. Attempts to cleverly word wishes to evade the restrictions described here result in the GM warning you or refusing that wish (without expending a wish). No wish can reverse a past event (although it might be able to undo its effects, such as by raising a person who was killed), can make someone fall in love with another person, or grant more wishes. Where possible, the GM will answer the wish by replicating the effect of a spell or legendary effect.

Whenever you use the ring again before taking a long rest, you must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or gain one level of exhaustion.

Wands and Rods

Rod of Absorption

Rod, Hero (requires attunement) While holding this rod, you can use your reaction to absorb a spell that is targeting only you and not with an area of effect. The absorbed spell’s effect is canceled, and the spell’s energy—not the spell itself—is stored in the rod. The energy stored has the same aether value as the spell did when it was cast. The rod can absorb and store up to 100 aether points during its existence. Once the rod absorbs 100 aether points, it can’t absorb more. If you are targeted by a spell that the rod can’t store, the rod has no effect on that spell.

When you become attuned to the rod, you know how much aether the rod has absorbed over the course of its existence, and how much aether it currently has stored. You can use the stored aether as if it was your own to cast spells and activate abilities, up to your regular aether limit.

A newly found rod has 2d10 aether points stored in it already. A rod that can no longer absorb spell energy and has no energy remaining becomes nonmagical.

Rod of Alertness

Rod, Hero (requires attunement)

This rod has a flanged head and the following properties.

Rod of Lordly Might

Rod, legendary (requires attunement)

This rod has a flanged head, and it functions as a magic mace that grants a +6 bonus to damage rolls made with it. The rod has properties associated with six different buttons that are set in a row along the haft. It has three other properties as well, detailed below. Six Buttons. You can press one of the rod’s six buttons as a bonus action. A button’s effect lasts until you push a different button or until you push the same button again, which causes the rod to revert to its normal form.

If you press button 1, the rod becomes a Flame Tongue longsword that is a Heavy Blade (slashing) with Cleaving, Masterwork, and Parrying, as a fiery blade sprouts from the end opposite the rod’s flanged head.

If you press button 2, the rod’s flanged head folds down and two crescent-shaped blades spring out, transforming the rod into a magic battleaxe that is Hafted (slashing), Battering, Cleaving, and Masterwork.

If you press button 3, the rod’s flanged head folds down, a spear point springs from the rod’s tip, and the rod’s handle lengthens into a 6-foot haft, transforming the rod into a magic spear that is Hafted (piercing), with Parrying, Precise, and Masterwork.

If you press button 4, the rod transforms into a climbing pole up to 50 feet long, as you specify. In surfaces as hard as granite, a spike at the bottom and three hooks at the top anchor the pole. Horizontal bars 3 inches long fold out from the sides, 1 foot apart, forming a ladder. The pole can bear up to 4,000 pounds. More weight or lack of solid anchoring causes the rod to revert to its normal form.

If you press button 5, the rod transforms into a handheld battering ram and grants its user a +10 bonus to Strength checks made to break through doors, barricades, and other barriers.

If you press button 6, the rod assumes or remains in its normal form and indicates magnetic north. (Nothing happens if this function of the rod is used in a location that has no magnetic north.) The rod also gives you knowledge of your approximate depth beneath the ground or your height above it.

Drain Life. When you hit a creature with a melee attack using the rod, you can force the target to make a DC 17 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, the target takes an extra 4d6 necrotic damage, and you regain a number of hit points equal to half that necrotic damage. This property can’t be used again until the next dawn.

Paralyze. When you hit a creature with a melee attack using the rod, you can force the target to make a DC 17 Strength saving throw. On a failure, the target is paralyzed for 1 minute. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success. This property can’t be used again until the next dawn.

Terrify. While holding the rod, you can use an action to force each creature you can see within 30 feet of you to make a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, a target is frightened of you for 1 minute. A frightened target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. This property can’t be used again until the next dawn.

Rod of Rulership

Rod, Hero (requires attunement)

You can use an action to present the rod and command obedience from each creature of your choice that you can see within 120 feet of you. Each target must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by you for 8 hours. While charmed in this way, the creature regards you as its trusted leader. If harmed by you or your companions, or commanded to do something contrary to its nature, a target ceases to be charmed in this way. The rod can’t be used again until the next dawn.

Rod of Security

Rod, Hero

While holding this rod, you can use an action to activate it. The rod then instantly transports you and up to 199 other willing creatures you can see to a paradise that exists in an extraplanar space. You choose the form that the paradise takes. It could be a tranquil garden, lovely glade, cheery tavern, immense palace, tropical island, fantastic carnival, or whatever else you can imagine. Regardless of its nature, the paradise contains enough water and food to sustain its visitors. Everything else that can be interacted with inside the extraplanar space can exist only there. For example, a flower picked from a garden in the paradise disappears if it is taken outside the extraplanar space. For each hour spent in the paradise, a visitor regains hit points as if it had spent 1 Hit Die. Also, creatures don’t age while in the paradise, although time passes normally. Visitors can remain in the paradise for up to 200 days divided by the number of creatures present (round down). When the time runs out or you use an action to end it, all visitors reappear in the location they occupied when you activated the rod, or an unoccupied space nearest that location. The rod can’t be used again until ten days have passed.

While it is frightened in this way, a creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can’t willingly move to a space within 30 feet of you. It also can’t take reactions. For its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If it has nowhere it can move, the creature can use the Guard action. At the end of each of its turns, a creature can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Weapons, Magic

Ammunition of Slaying

Weapon (arrow, bolt, or sling stone), Hero

An arrow of slaying is a magic weapon meant to slay a particular kind of creature. Some are more focused than others; for example, there are both arrows of dragon slaying and arrows of blue dragon slaying. If a creature belonging to the type, lineage, or group associated with an arrow of slaying is hit by the arrow, the attack is a critical hit and the creature takes an additional 6d10 piercing damage (not doubled due to the critical hit). In addition, the creature must make a DC 17 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is killed outright. If the creature was reduced to zero hit points by the attack’s damage (including the extra damage), it automatically fails the saving throw. Once an arrow of slaying deals its extra damage to a creature, it becomes a nonmagical arrow. Other types of magic ammunition of this kind exist, such as bolts of slaying meant for a crossbow, though arrows are most common.

Berserker Axe

Weapon (Hafted (slashing), Cleaving, Battering or Two-Handed, Masterwork), Hero (requires attunement)

In addition, while you are attuned to this weapon, your hit point maximum increases by 1 for each level you have attained.

Blade of Sharpness

Weapon (any weapon that deals slashing damage), Hero (requires attunement)

When you attack an object with this sword and hit, maximize your weapon damage dice against the target. When you attack a creature with this weapon and roll a 20 on the attack roll, that target takes an extra 4d6 slashing damage. Then roll another d20. If you roll a 20, you lop off one of the target’s limbs, with the effect of such loss determined by the GM. If the creature has no limb to sever, you lop off a portion of its body instead.

In addition, you can speak the sword’s command word to cause the blade to shed bright light in a 10-foot radius and dim light for an additional 10 feet. Speaking the command word again or sheathing the sword puts out the light.

Dagger of Venom

Weapon (Light Blade (piercing), Masterwork, Precise, Thrown), Adventurer

You can use an action to cause thick, black poison to coat the blade. The poison remains for 1 minute or until an attack using this weapon hits a creature. That creature must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or take 2d10 poison damage and become poisoned for 1 minute. The dagger can’t be used this way again until the next dawn.

Dancing Sword

Weapon (any Heavy Blade), Hero (requires attunement)

You can use a bonus action to toss this magic sword into the air and speak the command word. When you do so, the sword begins to hover, flies up to 30 feet, and attacks one creature of your choice within 5 feet of it. The sword uses your attack roll and ability score modifier to damage rolls.

While the sword hovers, you can use a bonus action to cause it to fly up to 30 feet to another spot within 30 feet of you. As part of the same bonus action, you can cause the sword to attack one creature within 5 feet of it.

After the hovering sword attacks for the fourth time, it flies up to 30 feet and tries to return to your hand. If you have no hand free, it falls to the ground at your feet. If the sword has no unobstructed path to you, it moves as close to you as it can and then falls to the ground. It also ceases to hover if you grasp it or move more than 30 feet away from it.

Defender

Weapon (Heavy Blade, Cleaving or Two-Handed, Masterwork, Parrying, Silvered), legendary (requires attunement)

While attuned to it, you can take the Deflect action without expending stamina and the effects last until the start of your next turn instead of for one attack only.

Dragon Slayer

Weapon (Heavy Blade or Hafted, Cleaving or Reach, Masterwork, Two-Handed), Hero

When you hit a dragon with this weapon, the dragon takes an extra 3d6 damage of the weapon’s type. For the purpose of this weapon, “dragon” refers to any creature with the dragon type, including dragon turtles and wyverns.

Dwarven Thrower

Weapon (Bashing, Adamantine, Battering, Masterwork, Thrown), Hero (requires attunement)

When you hit with a ranged attack using this weapon, it deals an extra 1d8 damage or, if the target is a giant, 2d8 damage. Immediately after the attack, the weapon flies back to your hand.

Energy Bow

Weapon (any Ranged (piercing)), Hero (requires attunement)

This masterwork weapon has no natural string. Instead, a thread of magical force is generated between the tips of the bowstave. Similarly, it requires no ammunition, because it generates its own that count as silver and adamantine. Energy crossbows ignore the Loading property.

Flame Tongue

Weapon (any Heavy Blade), Hero (requires attunement)

You can use a bonus action to speak this sword’s command word, causing flames to erupt from the blade. These flames shed bright light in a 40-foot radius and dim light for an additional 40 feet. While the sword is ablaze, it deals an extra 2d6 fire damage to any target it hits. The flames last until you use a bonus action to speak the command word again or until you drop or sheathe the sword.

Frost Brand

Weapon (any Heavy Blade), Hero (requires attunement)

When you hit with an attack using this sword, the target takes an extra 2d6 cold damage. In addition, while you hold the sword, you have resistance to fire damage.

Giant Slayer

Weapon (any slashing weapon), Hero

This is a masterwork weapon. When you hit a giant with it, the giant takes an extra 2d6 damage of the weapon’s type and must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or fall prone. For the purpose of this weapon, “giant” refers to any creature with the giant type, including ettins and trolls.

The attunement ends if you take off either of those items. While you are attuned to this weapon and holding it, your Strength score increases by 2 and can exceed +5, but not +10.

The hammer also has 5 charges. While attuned to it, you can expend 1 charge and make a ranged weapon attack with the hammer, hurling it as if it had the thrown property with a normal range of 20 feet and a long range of 60 feet. If the attack hits, the hammer unleashes a thunderclap audible out to 300 feet. The target and every creature within 30 feet of it must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or be stunned until the end of your next turn. The hammer regains 1d4 + 1 expended charges daily at dawn.

Holy Avenger

Weapon (any Heavy Blade, Masterwork, Silvered), legendary (requires attunement by an oathbound)

When you hit a fiend or an undead with this weapon, that creature takes an extra 2d10 radiant damage.

While you hold the drawn sword, it creates an aura in a 10-foot radius around you. You and all creatures friendly to you in the aura have advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects. If you have 17 or more levels in the Oathbound class, the radius of the aura increases to 30 feet.

Javelin of Lightning

Weapon (Hafted (piercing), Precise, Thrown), Adventurer

When you hurl this javelin and speak its command word, it transforms into a bolt of lightning, forming a line 5 feet wide that extends out from you to a target within 120 feet. Each creature in the line excluding you and the target must make a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw, taking 4d6 lightning damage on a failed save, and half as much damage on a successful one. The lightning bolt turns back into a javelin when it reaches the target. Make a ranged weapon attack against the target. On a hit, the target takes damage from the javelin plus 4d6 lightning damage.

The javelin’s property can’t be used again until the next dawn. In the meantime, the javelin can still be used as a magic weapon.

Luck Blade

Weapon (any slashing weapon, Masterwork), Adventurer (requires attunement)

This weapon has 3 charges. If the sword is on your person, you can call on its luck and expend a charge (no action required) to reroll one attack roll, ability check, or saving throw you dislike. You must use the second roll. The sword regains 1d3 charges at dawn.

Mace of Disruption

Weapon (any bludgeoning), Hero (requires attunement)

When you hit a fiend or an undead with this magic weapon, that creature takes an extra 2d6 radiant damage. If the target has 25 hit points or fewer after taking this damage, it must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be destroyed. On a successful save, the creature becomes frightened of you until the end of your next turn. While you hold this weapon, it sheds bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light for an additional 20 feet.

This is a masterwork weapon that counts as adamantine. When used against a construct, you have advantage on the attack. When you roll a 20 on an attack roll made with this weapon, the target takes an extra 2d6 bludgeoning damage, or 4d6 bludgeoning damage if it’s a construct. If a construct has 25 hit points or fewer after taking this damage, it is destroyed.

Mace of Terror

Weapon (any bludgeoning), Hero (requires attunement)

This magic weapon has 3 charges. While holding it, you can use an action and expend 1 charge to release a wave of terror. Each creature of your choice in a 30-foot radius extending from you must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened of you for 1 minute. While it is frightened in this way, a creature must spend its turns trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can’t willingly move to a space within 30 feet of you. It also can’t take reactions. For its action, it can use only the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If it has nowhere it can move, the creature can use the Guard action. At the end of each of its turns, a creature can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on itself on a success. The mace regains 1d3 expended charges daily at dawn.

Moons-glow Weapon

Weapon (any Heavy or Light Blade or Hafted), Journeyman

This magic weapon was forged and blessed by kami. It counts as being silvered, and when unsheathed in the dark, it glows, shedding bright light for 10 feet and dim light for 10 feet beyond that. The color of the glow changes as the moons wax and wane, ranging from white when Quella is new to pure red when Quella is full.

Formula. To craft a moons-glow weapon, you must provide one lb of refined silver metal. At least one day during the crafting period must be spent in a place sacred to a kami, and you must perform rituals appropriate to that kami while crafting. The required proficiency is Smith’s tools (+2, +3 if masterwork). Crafting a moons-glow weapon costs 75 gold (150 if you wish to make a masterwork weapon) above the base price of the weapon.

Nine Lives Stealer

Weapon (any melee), Hero (requires attunement)

This is a masterwork weapon. The sword has 1d8 + 1 charges. If you score a critical hit against a creature that has fewer than 100 hit points, it must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be slain instantly as the sword tears its life force from its body (a construct or an undead is immune). The sword loses 1 charge if the creature is slain. When the sword has no charges remaining, it loses this property.

Oathbow

Weapon (Ranged (piercing), Ammunition (arrow), Masterwork, Precise, Two-Handed), Hero (requires attunement)

When you nock an arrow on this masterwork bow, it whispers in Metsae, “Swift defeat to my enemies.” When you use this weapon to make a ranged attack, you can, as a command phrase, say, “Swift death to you who have wronged me.” The target of your attack becomes your sworn enemy until it dies or until dawn seven days later. You can have only one such sworn enemy at a time. When your sworn enemy dies, you can choose a new one after the next dawn.

When you make a ranged attack roll with this weapon against your sworn enemy, you have advantage on the roll. In addition, your target gains no benefit from cover, other than total cover, and you suffer no disadvantage due to long range. If the attack hits, your sworn enemy takes an extra 3d6 piercing damage. While your sworn enemy lives, you have disadvantage on attack rolls with all other weapons.

Scimitar of Speed

The staff can also be used as a magic quarterstaff. If you are holding the staff and fail a saving throw against an enchantment spell that targets only you, you can turn your failed save into a successful one. You can’t use this property of the staff again until the next dawn. If you succeed on a save against an enchantment spell that targets only you, with or without the staff’s intervention, you can use your reaction to expend 1 charge from the staff and turn the spell back on its caster as if you had cast the spell.

You have a 50 percent chance to instantly travel to a random plane of existence, avoiding the explosion. If you fail to avoid the effect, you take bludgeoning damage equal to 16 × the number of charges in the staff. Every other creature in the area must make a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw.

You can use an action to speak this staff’s command word and throw the staff on the ground within 10 feet of you. The staff becomes a giant constrictor snake under your control and acts on its own initiative count. By using a bonus action to speak the command word again, you return the staff to its normal form in a space formerly occupied by the snake. On your turn, you can mentally command the snake if it is within 60 feet of you and you aren’t incapacitated. You decide what action the snake takes and where it moves during its next turn, or you can issue it a general command, such as to attack your enemies or guard a location.

This item appears to be a longsword hilt. While grasping the hilt, you can use a bonus action to cause a blade of pure radiance to spring into existence, or make the blade disappear. While the blade exists, this magic longsword grants the wielder the Nimble Strike feature, allowing them to use their Ranged Attack Modifier instead of their Melee Attack Modifier.

This weapon deals radiant damage instead of slashing damage. When you hit an undead with it, that target takes an extra 1d8 radiant damage.

The sword’s luminous blade emits bright light in a 15-foot radius and dim light for an additional 15 feet. The light is sunlight.

Weapon (any Heavy Blade that deals slashing damage. Has Adamantine, Masterwork, Silvered), legendary (requires attunement)

This weapon ignores resistance to slashing damage. When you attack a creature that has at least one head with this weapon and roll a 20 on the attack roll, you cut off one of the creature’s heads. The creature dies if it can’t survive without the lost head. A creature is immune to this effect if it is immune to slashing damage, doesn’t have or need a head, has legendary actions, or the GM decides that the creature is too big for its head to be cut off with this weapon. Such a creature instead takes an extra 6d8 slashing damage from the hit.

Weapon of Wounding

Weapon (any), Hero (requires attunement)

Hit points lost to this weapon’s damage can be regained only through a short or long rest, rather than by regeneration, magic, or any other means. Once per turn, when you hit a creature with an attack using this magic weapon, you can wound the target. At the start of each of the wounded creature’s turns, it takes 1d4 necrotic damage for each time you’ve wounded it, and it can then make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw, ending the effect of all such wounds on itself on a success. Alternatively, the wounded creature, or a creature within 5 feet of it, can use an action to make a DC 15 Wisdom (Medicine) check, ending the effect of such wounds on it on a success.
