Magic Weapons and Items Ideas

[blackjack50]

So I have some ideas and I’m curious if y’all would like these.

1) Crossbow of Replay: +1 medium crossbow that when a player makes a successful attack roll, their next attack on that same target can be taken as an automatic success with the same damage results. This ignores all cover of a target within short or long range.

2) The storm Lord’s sling: A +1 sling with 3 effects: a) casts gust of wind b) hail storm happens within a 15 foot diameter area that does 2d10 bludgeoning damage and 2d8 cold damage on a failed dex save c) flash and thunder shot: player can throw 1 shot that has a magical property of a lighting strike. It does 1d6 thunder damage...but any player within 10 feet is stunned for a turn.

3) Hammer of Smashing (name change?): +1 2 handed hammer that a player can smash into the ground and cause a seismic disturbance in an 15 foot area. Enemies must make a dex save or be knocked prone. The save would be 10+players strength modifier.

4) Hunter’s Blow Gun: +1 blow gun that has 2 effects a) mimics the effects of the sleep cell for 1d4 hours with no damage. b) Mimics hunter’s mark spell.

5) Doll of Distraction: A small green stuffed animal that when activated can be thrown. Enemies must make a wisdom save or become obsessed with this object for 1 hour. They will attempt to talk to the stuffed animal, and if more than 1 person is within 5 feet they will fight over the object.

Maul. Rare. How many charges? Effects like that often have charges. Maybe seven charges max, recharge 1d6 each dawn, like other magic items.

The stuffed animal; does it inflict the charmed condition? This one's got a lot of holes in it, rethink maybe.

The blow gun: meh. Does this activate on a hit? On a command word? What? Flesh this one out, needs more detail.

The crossbow: hmm, rare or very rare. Make sure the player keeps track of ammo, or, is the second shot purely magical and not an actual arrow?


2) The storm Lord’s sling: A +1 sling with 3 effects
Do all three trigger on a hit? Using a command word? Charges

but any player within 10 feet is stunned for a turn. Suggest Creature, not Player.
Very Rare.

I would say maybe 1-3 a day charge. Probably just 1.

The stuffed animal would be a charm. It would be limited utility. Treat it kind of like a cursed item.

The crossbow would be regular ammo. Maybe adjust the condition that it would have to be in the same space (so not a different room).

The blow gun would be only triggered on a hit (so it would kind of be like a magical tranquilizer gun or tracking dart).

The sling I liked because they would be like a charge but with AOE and not a single shot that hits. It would be more of a utility item. And on a creature is what I meant (not player lol...that was a mistake hehe). A friend suggested that the sling be a legendary item where players collect those abilities over time for the weapon.

Can you please elaborate on how often each of these items is supposed to be usable? Like, the crossbow. There is a huge difference in power if that is a passive property that applies every turn vs an active property that has some kind of limit (e.g. charges).

Once per day seems fair.

I mean all of them. We need details on these items to be able to effectively judge how powerful they are.
