Hi. My players are about to start a 4-5 level trek, starting at level 9, through a jungle of sorts. I want to give them some nice items, since we usually do campaigns that end before these levels. I am, however, uncertain of whether the following items are too much or not enough. I realize that the views on power level will vary from DM to DM and setting/campaign to setting/campaign. We usually play "normal" or slightly higher magic level if that's any help :)
Tl, dr: How would you rate these items?
Armor of the Fallen Leaves
A riot of red, yellow, and orange leaves has been sewn together into a rigid suit of armor.
Once per long rest you can cause the leaves of this +1 armor (I'm leaving out which type of armor for now, so I'll be able to adapt it to the PC that either finds it or has gotten less than the others) to turn brown and scatter on the breeze. During this process, you merge with the fallen leaves and disappear. Though the leaves appear to flutter near the ground, they are actually under your disembodied control. While in this state, you can move and interact with your environment as if you were under the effect of a gaseous form spell. This effect lasts for up to 30 minutes or until you use a standard action to end it.
I'm also considering adding an ability to this, maybe something like the Sword (Leaf) Burst cantrip x times per day.
Big Game Hunter's Trophy
A serrated dagger made from teeth and bone from a strange beast.
Finesse, light, 1d6 damage.
Savage
Against a target that is wearing no armor, the dagger deals an extra die of damage.
Hampering strike
Once per round, when you hit a target, you can target a tendon or vulnerable muscle to reduce target's speed to half until the end of it's next turn
Nature's Guidance
A small, black pouch that contains smooth pieces of bone engraved with runes.
Once per long rest, you can cast each of the following spells: pass without trace, plant growth, or tree stride as an action.
If this ability is activated while unattuned, the spell is decided randomly.
Quicksilver Boots
Quicksilver boots give you the ability to flash across the battlefield with a moment’s impulse.
When you activate these boots as a bonus action, you gain the ability to move along vertical surfaces and across liquids on your turn without falling during the move until the end of your next turn. You provoke attacks of opportunity as normal for movement, though the rapidity of your travel makes your form blurry, providing disadvantage against such attacks.
This ability functions two times per long rest. (We do not have a monk in the party by the way, so there'll be no hard feelings for stepping on anyone's toes with this.)
Any and all musings/feedback/critique/advice will be greatly appreciated :smallsmile:
