My next adventure has my PCs run into a trapped fey named Patchwork Jack:

Hello, my name is Patchwork Jack-
Won't you take a look inside my sack?
Things find their way in there you see-
Though retrieving them is far from free.
But deals I make! And just today-
Setting me free is all you'll pay.

Before you stands what resembles a scarecrow without any straw. This creature is composed of a skeletal frame covered with various swatches of cloth and leather stitched together haphazardly. Even more disconcerting is its eyes which glow a dull yellow between two holes in the hood of its garment. Its mouth is a wide, loosely-stitched, toothless gash and in its clawed hands hit holds a bulging black velvet sack.

Uncatchable: Patchwork Jack is a slippery one, and constantly under the affects of Freedom of Movement (CL 15) this can be dispelled but Patchwork Jack and re-activate it next round as a free action.

Clickity Clack Get In The Sack: As a full round action, Patchwork Jack may attempt to capture one of his enemies in his magical sack. This requires a melee touch attack and a target may resist with a successful Will Save (DC 19). Anyone trapped within the sack is missing for 1d6 days before they can be found wandering around somewhere near a location of high fey activity (enchanted glens, mushroom circles, ect.). No one remembers what went on while lost in Jack's sack, and one magic item (at the DM's digression) is missing from their inventory. Jack can attempt this attack once every 1d4+1 rounds. The save is Charisma based.

Combat:
Patchwork Jack, in general, is a non-violent creature however, he does not abide theft nor insults and will most likely attempt to capture the offender in his bag before escaping from any allies they might have had. If cornered his main tactic is to trap as many foes as needed before escaping, although he has full access to the items within his sack and may withdraw them to aid him in combat if the need is dire. The contents of Patchwork Jack's sack is up to the DM.


What I need, is a list of items that might be found in such a creature's magical sack. Jack is an unseelie fey, and his "bargains" are often directly harmful or else completely worthless to those that try to use them. However, they should have some useful effect that a creative player might exploit.

To give you an idea of what I am looking for I have a few items that I am going to include:

A magical staff that's only ability is to keep itself balanced on its tip.
A ring of invisibility that makes the wearer blind.
A cloak of intangibility. (ie nothing)
A wand of fireballs that can only target the wielder.

You get the idea. Anyway I am hoping to get a large list of items and put them on a table to roll any time the PCs deal with Patchwork Jack in the future which should be often as long as they don't kill him straight off for speaking in rhyme.

A ring of continuous Deathwatch that tells the player that the wearer is alive, dead, or undead.

A magical stick that causes the word, "WAND" to appear in the air directly in front of the wielder.

A "Scroll of Words". I'll let you figure that one out.

That kind of thing?

Sacrath
2008-05-02, 11:23 PM
Exactly, I especially like the ring.

Ring of Invulnerability: This ring cannot be damaged by any force. It does not confer this benefit to the wearer. Great for jamming things open, though, and causes Spheres of Annihilation to detonate in an explosion on contact (the ring survives this, too, although the person wearing it doesn't).

Ring of Theft-Alarm: This ring lets out a powerful jolt of electricity every time something is stolen from the wearer. Unfortunately, this jolt always targets the wearer for 5d6 damage (no save). Makes a great gift for an enemy once you've loaded up on Slight of Hand.

Instant Water: This odd white powder, when mixed with no more than ten gallons of pure water, results in as many as ten gallons of pure water.

Mirror of Seeing: When the command-word is spoken, this mirror shows the wielder what he expects to see - whether that has any basis in reality or not.

Amulet of anti-gravity? As soon as you put it on it (and only it) immediately falls upward off your neck?

Wand of Anti-magic. It itself cannot be used because of all the anti-magic in it.

sigurd
2008-05-03, 06:52 AM
Horse shoes of falling. - a horse shod with these shoes has 5x the normal chance of falling.

Rod of Wondrous Flower - dropped into a wet container and the command words "colour for free" spoken the rod spouts a bouquet of flowers. The flowers last until the wand is removed or the water completely dries up. if they are plucked they vanish.

Wand of beef or chicken - if this wand is used to stir soup it flavours it as if with stock. One end has a chicken and one end has a cow. The image in the hand determines the type of flavour. It adds no appreciable nutrition.

(Cursed) Case of parchment disappearing - This device collects maps and scrolls for a distant figure. Any paper or parchment like substance rolled up and put in the case is teleported to the collector.

Dunce Cap of Charity. This cap shapes the head beneath into a similar shape. The effect is permanent, until the victim gives 1000gld to the poor with his own hand. No more that 10 gold can be given to any recipient. The conditions of the curse removal can be determined by an Identify spell.

Bag of Urine - This small bag will hold an unlimited amount of urine. At discovery it holds d100-30 gallons of urine. The bag and the holder always smell of Apples.
If it is tipped and the command words "Fetchez la vache" are spoken it will empty itself. The contained urine does not fester or spoil.

An Invisible Ring, NOT a ring of invisibility, the ring itself is invisible.
An Invulnerable ring, The ring is invulnerable, the wearer isn't.

2008-05-03, 08:16 AM
The Wand of Create Wand that I've seen a few times on this board would work... Just guess what types of wand it can create!

Other ideas: This one's nicked, but Rings of Friendship. If you wear one of them, you know there's another one in the world. If you wear both, you know where both of them are.

Everfull Glass: a glass that's full of water. It's impossible to get the water out of the glass, hence the name.

Wand of Olives - This wand can produce one olive every hour. It can only create green olives with a pimento in the center. The pimento cannot be removed by any means prior to consuming the olive.

Staff of Cuisine - Three times per day, this staff can produce food of nigh-royal quality, a delicious and hearty feast. The food never spoils and will last until consumed (at which point it disappears).

Incense of Constipation: self explanatory.
Rod of Blunder: When used, it causes the wielder to fall prone or drop their weapon/staff/wand/etc.
King's Clothes: only idiots can't see them...:smallamused:
Sword of Prophecy: It tells you everything that happens to you five minutes ago.
Ring of Detect Thoughts: it informs you that anything you look at is either thinking, or not.
Headband: No mechanical bonus, but +10 to awesome.
+5 Axe of Empathy: Every time you hit something, you get dealt an equal amount of damage. Both you and the thing you hit are then healed the amount of damage dealt by the axe, even if either are dead. The Axe hopes you have learned your lesson.

Edit: @V: answered.

MorkaisChosen
2008-05-03, 08:38 AM
Nine Olives Stealer: an ordinary sword, except for its ability to steal nine olives, which become part of its hilt once stolen (as a touch attack, no save).

EDIT: Would the Axe of Empathy resurrect someone it killed? If not, that's pretty useful...

Decanter of endless nothing:
When tipped, it doesn't do anything

Ring of thing:
Whatever it is it does, no one can tell.

Musical Box:
When opened, a musical number is generated, complete with a bunch of people singing and dancing.

Hat of vanishing rabbits:
A rabbit can be pulled from out of the hat. By tugging on the rabbits ears, little numbers appear over it's eyes and begins counting down ominously. When the numbers reach 0, it vanishes.

Ring of diminishing returns:
An iron ring which on the first day splits into 9 identical rings. One of those rings will then split into 8 on the second, and so on until no new rings are made. Each ring is worth 1 copper.

Still beating heart:
A heart which though removed from whatever creature, keeps beating.

MorkaisChosen
2008-05-03, 09:38 AM
Still-beating heart: a heart that, when it gets within 150ft of a distillation apparatus, flys from wherever it is kept atnd attacks the still. It always wins.

Rope of entanglement: When unattended, appears to be an ordinary 100 ft. silk rope, however, once touched, the rope will continuously twisted and knot itself until it is unsuitable for usage. A player may attempt to unknot said rope with a use rope check (DC 25) and it will not twisted itself again until it is dropped. Once it is dropped, it will exhibit this behavior the next time it is needed.

10 ft. pole of aversion: Any player attempting to touch anything with this pole must make a will save (DC 25) or they will hold said pole an inch away instead of touching it.

Ladder of tipping: This item appears to be an ordinary 30 ft. collapsible ladder. If a player climbs to the top of this ladder, it will tip over, sending the player crashing to the ground for 3d6 damage. A player may make a jump or tumble check to negate this damage, however they suffer a -5 to this check if they do not know of the ladder's effect.

Sword of Ancestry: This beautifully crafted sword appears to be made of some crystalline metal. When picked up, you begin to hear strange sounds and whispers. If you have a dead relative who was extremely annoying in real life, 1 roud later he/she begins to constantly nag you about the way you look and how you fight. Dropping the sword only makes the noise louder, and only you can hear it. Anyone else who touches the sword also hears it. Remove curse will stop the affect, as well as a commune with dead spell if you choose that person and speak with them for more than one hour.

Would it kill you to commune with use for a change!

MorkaisChosen
2008-05-03, 09:50 AM
Hmmm... That sword reminds me of something...

Also,

Goat of Turning: When the command word is spoken, this wooden statue of a goat revolves.

Shades of Gray
2008-05-03, 10:03 AM
Gray wand of Animal Obedience (Pet Rock)

Rubik's focus of confounding displeasure, a cube that will give ultimate power, activated upon each side having all the same colour, but was mistakenly given seven colours.

Ergonomic Sword, a perfectly ergonomic sword, easy to grip, low weight, and causes no pain to the wielder, however... It causes no pain to the enemy...

How bout that ring of detect thoughts mentioned above, which lets you read only your own thoughts.

Ive always liked chainmail +2 of disappearance. In times of great physical danger it lives up to its name.

Mirror of Light Diffusing: Its like an Archimedes's Death Ray but in reverse
Ring of Nonlethal Fireball: You can shoot a fireball at the enemy, but it just frazzles them and chars nonmagical clothes, doing no damage at all. It backfires on a D20 roll of 5 or less.

MoelVermillion
2008-05-03, 11:12 AM
I thought I'd pitch a few ideas, I don't know if they're any good but maybe they'll set you on a thought train for something better or something.

Bag of replusion? A magic bag that looks like a bag of holding on the outside only anything you try to place in there is repelled out?

Hows about an umbrella of endless rain? Whilst not really much in DND terms i think that an umbrella that caused it to permanently rain on the holder would be pretty nifty for a trickster merchant.

Hows about a cloak of misplacement? Like a cloak of displacement only it has a percentage chance to go missing for a few days at a time?

Wands of either end. Standard magic wands except they have a 50% chance of firing in the opposite direction to where you targeted them.

EDIT: Seems like we had similar bags VVVV :smallsmile.

Keys of Nowhere these keys can be used to open any locked door as long there is nothing but empty space on the other side (not even air.)

Ring of Tune makes silly music.

Bag of Many Bags this ordinary-looking bag spits out any object put into it. however, you may reach in to the bag and once for day take out another Bag of Many Bags, a Bag of Many Bags spits out other Bags of Many Bags if you attempt to put them in, but not the ones that are created daily.

MorkaisChosen

Hmmm...

Personal Dis-Organiser (MkI, MkII or MkIII): This small box contains a bound Tiny outsider, and has several functions:


Handwriting Recognition: "Yep, that's handwriting.
Appointments Will tell you you have an appointment if you tell the imp earlier.


Any other ideas for that one?

An Amulet of extra Amulet slot.

Magic Coin - When targeted by the spell Detect Magic or similar effect, this coin detects as magical. That is it's magical property.

MorkaisChosen
2008-05-03, 11:46 AM
There's an item in Kingdom of Loathing like that amulet: an offhand item called the Fake Hand. Gives -1 Moxie (which is a combination of Cha and Dex, basically) and an extra off-hand slot.

Flickerdart
2008-05-03, 11:59 AM
No, the hand takes off one damage as far as I remember, which is why stacks were used in the MP+ method.

Pronounceable
2008-05-03, 12:12 PM
Scroll of Literacy: Grants the reader literacy when read.

Scroll of Cure Blindness: Cures blindness when read.

Scroll of Fireball: When crumpled into a ball, this scroll ignites.

Potion of Domination: Upon drinking this, the imbiber becomes dominated.

Armor of Avoidance: This enchanted chainmail+3 can't be hit. Any blow passes right through it and strikes the wearer instead.

Seven League Boots: Every step taken wearing these magical boots result in one foot seven leagues away from the other. However they don't protect their wearer from the groinal stress.

Vorpal Razor: Any cut inflicted with this razor while shaving is a vorpal hit.

Gloves of Fitting: These magical gloves fit anyone wearing them like a glove.

Cloak of Featherfall: This cloak casts featherfall on itself if it falls a distance of more than 10 feet. The spell can only slow the fall of the cloak.

Plate of Stone Skin: This fullplate+5 can, once per day, cast flesh to stone on its wearer. The effect is temporary, plate returns to normal in an hour.

Helm of Mirror Image: This helm allows its wearer to see his image on any mirror.

Potion of Undead Protection: Upon drinking this potion, imbiber becomes unable to harm the undead in any way.

Potion of Polymorph*

Wallpaper of Explosive Runes

The ever-awesome Boots of Blinding Speed from Morrowind.

Amulet of Spell Resistance: resists the user's spells.

Dual scroll with both Stone to Flesh and Flesh to Stone inscribed on it, making it a Stone to Stone or Flesh to Flesh spell.

Same as above but for Mud to Stone.

Bag of Endless Sand - Can produce 5 cubic feet of sand per turn. Functions only in deserts.

Staff of Eternity - cannot be moved, or harmed in any way. No magic or psionics or power of any sort can affect it in any way. It will never decay and will never rot.

Ring of Magician's Bane - The wear may never be harmed by the effects of Prestidigitation.

I've already found some uses for these items, for example...


Rubik's focus of confounding displeasure, a cube that will give ultimate power, activated upon each side having all the same colour, but was mistakenly given seven colours.

Replace the stickers.


Staff of Eternity - cannot be moved, or harmed in any way. No magic or psionics or power of any sort can affect it in any way. It will never decay and will never rot.

I know what I'm making my next fortress out of.


Potion of Polymorph*
*baleful edition

Purposely fail the fort save, make the will save, and you are now tiny sized or smaller, for whatever reason you need to be.


Helm of Mirror Image: This helm allows its wearer to see his image on any mirror.

Vampires don't have reflections normally, so this lets him finally see what he looks like as a vampire.


Bag of Many Bags this ordinary-looking bag spits out any object put into it. however, you may reach in to the bag and once for day take out another Bag of Many Bags, a Bag of Many Bags spits out other Bags of Many Bags if you attempt to put them in, but not the ones that are created daily.

Turn it inside-out and see what happens.


Hows about an umbrella of endless rain? Whilst not really much in DND terms i think that an umbrella that caused it to permanently rain on the holder would be pretty nifty for a trickster merchant.

Amphibious creatures need to keep their skin moist, and this seems like the thing to use for that. Alternatively, bring water to a dry desert town.


Vorpal Razor: Any cut inflicted with this razor while shaving is a vorpal hit.

ANY cut? Oh hoho! All I have to do is messily shave my enemies and I win!

Figurine of wonderous glower: A small figurine if a stern-faced crone. She glares at you if you try to actvate her like some kind of magic item. Will save or be stunned. Only targets the person trying to activate it.

Power of Wonderous Figure: A mystical amulet which when worn makes the wearer look muscular and dangerous like some kind of superhero (female users also gain The Most Common Superpower) This does not in fact make them any stronger, its just for looks.

Sound Effects Gloves: Boxing gloves which cause various dramatic sound effects to happen when they punch things, occasionally the cause flashes and the words BANG! PAMFF! KER-POW! to appear as well. also converts all damage to non-lethal damage and careful observation reveals that the hits always seem to miss by a fraction of an inch even when they 'hit'.

Shoes of the gentleman: dress shoes that let the wearer hover about a foot above ground. They can move at their normal speed without moving their legs but may not run or charge (or any other ungentlemanly action). They are also under a constant silence effect targeting only them. If they get muddy, they lose their power until cleaned.

Goggles of invisibility: When worn, the wearer cannot see any other person or creature as if all others were under a greater invisibility spell including them self.

Mirror of inversion: The mirror reflects vampires, but does not reflect non-vampires.

Thanks, Gael_Judicium, for demonstrating to us the "Left Shoe of Triple-Posting." That'll make for a good item!

Towel of Drying - This towel is just absorbent enough to dry oneself off after a bath.

a staff of desentigrate that makes a hole as deep as possible when used, or causes the ceiling to fall on you.
a wand of fly that fails at the worst time, and the slow falling doesn't happen.
a wand of disguise self etc. that stops working when you need it most.
staff of forcecage that only hits yourself
wand of hold person that hits only you.
etc.

Seven-League Boots: I seem to remember something along these lines mentioned in another thread... Warps space around the user, allowing them to step over great distances (seven leagues) with each step. In theory, allowed the user to travel massive distances quickly, similar to the 'ruby slippers' of Oz. In practice, however, most people cannot survive a seven-league stride, and are ripped in half upon attempting such. XD If you want to be really mean, just have them become nonmagical after the first use, so the party can't come up with any loopholes once they figure it out.

Ring of Know Direction (or whatever it's called...): This ring identifies as a powerful magical item radiating Divination magic of caster level 20th. It is not possible to determine its exact function until it is put on, though. It allows the user to always know were north is, whatever plane they may be on.

Crystal Ball of Trickery: This crystal orb contains a malicious spirit. This creature has no scrying abilities whatsoever, so when someone tries to use the crystal ball, it simply whips up an illusion. This imp-like creature wishes its owner nothing but grievous harm and death, so it often skews its images to trick its wielders into the wrong course of action.

Cloak of Many Colors: This plain brown cloak radiates powerful Abjuration magic. When worn, it begins to glow in shifting, tie-dye colors. Apart from looking obnoxious and making anyone who stares at it for too long slightly nauseous, it's constant, unsuppressable glow makes it impossible for the wearer to hide, even while invisible; the cloak shrugs off all illusion magic like water. It cannot be removed by any means short of a Remove Curse or Break Enchantment. No real use here.

Sword of Screaming: It screams. Loudly. The moment you try to sheath it or put it away, in fact. Just barely not loud enough to cause any permanent or damaging effects, but easily loud enough to bring the city guard (or the beholder, or the purple worm...) running to your hiding spot. Cannot be gotten rid of once activated; it pops right back into the owner's hand a moment later. On the plus side, it is still a sword (possibly even a magical one), and a resourceful character might use it to get a bonus on demoralizing foes.

Anyway, some of them are supposed to have uses, right? Just... unusual ones. Like, the armor that turns you to stone; great to disguise yourself as a statue, as long as you're willing to risk someone being around when you turn back.

vile of salt to water- makes any water slightly more salty, it can't be used for anything beyond that, its worth slightly less then salt

ring of the 9 moods- tells the user how they feel using coolers

amulet of Mr. Obvious- it will inform you of blatantly obvious pieces of information

Ball of 8- mysterious black sphere that tells you random answers -or- will vaguely answer one question in your life that was never actually answered

Rod of Uprightness: When placed vertically on the ground, this rod will not fall over unless intentionally removed by a sentient creature.

Ring of Reveal Alignment: Allows the user to see what direction any creature in view is facing.

Cloak of Billowing: this cloak will always billow dramatically behind the wearer, it has no other effects.
Critical Blade: With every swing, this longsword will inform it's wielder that their style sucks and offer suggjestions (If the wielder uses these suggjestions, it just starts on somthing else, none of the suggjestions actually impart any mechanical bonus).

Ring of Fortune Reversal: while wearing this ring, any roll of a natural one is treated as being a natural 20. Also, Anytime a natural 20 is rolled treat it as a natural 1
Other Ring of Fortune Reversal: Whenever the wearer rolls a d20, treat the difference between the result of the roll and 21 as the result of the roll as if they die was rolled normally.
(Formula, 21-(1d20)= result)

Not a specific recommendation but you may want to consider

the basement of Warehouse 23 (http://www.warehouse23.com/basement/box/) which has many weird user-submitted items. Many are science fiction rather than fantasy but could be easily adopted. (Warning! Warehouse 23 is very addictive).

Pendant of Feather Falling-

To any magical or non-magical examination, this pendant appears to cast feather fall on the wearer whenever he falls more than 10 feet. (It doesn't)

Also, a use for the blindness/invisibility ring would be whenever a fight goes really bad and there's about to be TPK. You'll be blind, but you will also be invisible.

Ring of Magician's Bane - The wear may never be harmed by the effects of Prestidigitation.

Wow, that's useful!

Ring of Feather's Falling - When activated, as a regular Ring of Feather Falling, it polymorphs the wearer into a feather. They still suffer full falling damage, and cannot be turned back to normal until the next day.

Tome of Stupidity - This thin leaflet contains nothing, but intwined within the lack of words is a powerful magical effect. If anyone reads this leaflet, which takes a maximum time of two seconds (1/3 round), they are affected as if by a Feeblemind spell. This effect cannot be removed until next day. Once the leaflet is read, the magic does NOT disappear from the pages, remaining to capture the curiosity of other party members.

Slippers of Spider "Climbing" - When worn, these slippers polymorph the wearer into a non-poisonous, Fine spider, which is unable to climb. This effect can be broken as a regular Polymorph.

Chained Seven-league boots: Seven league boots which are a minor improvement over the 'rip you in half when you step' version. These ones are chained together to prevent the ripping, but have only 1 inch of really heavy duty chain holding them together. They also have heavy laces and bolts. A wearer must move at 5 ft a round to move normally. When activated they are flung rapily in the general direction they are facing and fall prone, they take damage if they hit a solid surface.


twenty nine and a half foot pole of touching: A 29.5 ft pole which can be used to deliver touch attacks. Made of a special magic wood, its colored white with red stripes and has an ornate hand on the end that looks like a four-fingered white glove. Its not particularly straight or stiff and the user takes a -10 penalty to touch attacks with it. (penalty could be changed by DM as needed)

Tavern compass: a compass that always points to the Nearest Tavern (an actual tavern in the town of Adventure)

Planar gear-shift: A lever that can be used to shift planes, however it isn't attached to anything to allow it to be pulled. Experimenting with it reveals that by setting against oneself and 'pulling' it allows the user to plane shift to their current plane to a point 5 feet in a random direction (including up or down). Sticking it against an inanimate object and pulling it can send and object to another random plane. The gear-shift cannot plane-shift itself.

Canteen of soda flavor: a canteen that flavors water to taste like root beer or some other soft drink.

Gingerbread Mouse: A small figurine of a mouse made of gingerbread, activating it causes it to run away.

Lesser slippers of spider climbing: The wearer may climb up the sides of water spouts with ease. However this effect is suppressed if the water spout is drenched with water (such as by rain).

Ring of Lesser Translation - The wearer of this ring is treated as being under a constant Tongues effect, except that the translations the spell gives are always wrong, often hilariously so.

Crown of Worthiness - Whoever wears this crown believes they are a person of upmost importance, and cannot be convinced otherwise. Furthermore, the wearer acts and expects to be treated as such.

Coin of Fortune Telling - When you flip this coin you can ask it a simple yes or no question, and it will land either heads or tails to answer it. This coin is accurate 50% of the time.

Ivory Die of Misfortune - The owner of this die will always have it land in the way that would be disadvantagious to them. The owner is the person who last purchased the die.

Deck of Many Thongs - Each card pulled from this deck has a picture of a woman in lingerie. However, this woman will always appear to be the viewers mother.

Staff of the Titans - This staff is Gargantuan in size. It confers no special bonuses.

Dagger of Disarming - The holder of this dagger must attempt a Reflex save (19) every round they are in combat or the weapon will slip from their hands.

Lesser slippers of spider climbing: The wearer may climb up the sides of water spouts with ease. However this effect is suppressed if the water spout is drenched with water (such as by rain).

And once the water is gone, the wearer must make a Will save (DC 18), or be compelled to attempt the climb once more.

Glib Amulet - Amulet that spouts false information, makes fun of the wearer, tells one liners/bad puns/crude jokes, says "I knew that" after failed knowledge checks (well you never asked), and tries to seduce gemstones be they intelligent or not. Can transfer this property to any other item (so it can only leave it's wearer willingly). A DC 35 spellcraft check (or just asking, but don't tell the players this!) reveals that it's full name is Tom the Glib Amulet.

Cloak of Many Bats - A pitch-black hooded cloak that, when violently spread, conjures D100 fruit bats to scatter in all directions. The bats flee the area, doing absolutely nothing, but the user gets +1 to awesome for every bat that leaves the cloak.

Bilbil's Bad Bottle - An ornately-decorated bottle filled with a dark, viscous liquid. When the bottle is first found, everyone in the vicinity must make a DC 5 will save to avoid drinking from the bottle. After this, the bottle can be drank from willingly. Drinking from the bottle bestows a random magical or psionic effect on the imbiber, either taken from any table of random effects or chosen by the DM.

Scroll of Grow Facial Hair - The imbiber grows a random style of facial hair.

Box of Mysteries - A small, DC 35 locked box. Inside is a slip of paper that reads "You've solved the mystery!". DC 40 Search Check reveals a secret compartment under the box that contains another useless magic item.

Untie-able Rope - A length of rope covered in knots that can be untied.

Electric Lute - When played, the elderly become enraged while the youthful are captivated. Playing allows you to use Perform: Lute checks to deal heavy amounts of sonic damage to your foes (read: those who are not already slaves to your eternal awesomeness). All youths near you follow you as if you had the leadership feat, and the elderly will do their best to stay away (especially if you don't like them). Eventually, however, even the elderly will join you in your crusade to conquer the world with the sheer power of awesome. Amassing 10,000 or more followers with this item causes you to become a god, giving you your own temple and godly powers. Rolling a natural 1 does not cause you to critically fail with this item, making it completely foolproof. It is unbreakable and can be used as a +900 Greatclub of Lightning that deals damage as if made for a Colossal creature. (All uses require an amplifier, which you never give to the players.)

Ring of Visibility - The wearer is visible when worn. This does not affect hide checks, but it dispels invisibility and gives a +4 bonus to feeling dumb.

Ring of Heroic Entrance - Causes an obnoxious, superhero style theme song to play whenever you enter a room. Also causes you to light up like a disco ball, and dispels invisibility. After every use, make a will save (DC=# of total uses) to prevent going insane.

Giant Pick : This Large Sized Gaitar pick gives a +2 bonus on using any tiny or smaller sized stringed instrument. That is, if you can use it.

Immovable pants: thease pants are emotionally unresponsive.

XD Too funny.

Cursed Ring of Diplomacy (A.K.A. Ring of 'Comedy'): This ring, an elegant silver band, identifies as a Ring of Diplomacy, granting the user a +4 bonus to diplomacy checks. Its true purpose is revealed the moment the wearer is addressed by any royalty. They immediately begin to spout a stream of horrifically dirty, inappropriate jokes, likely enraging the royal in question and prompting an instant arrest.

Scroll of the Ultimate Technique: This scroll, written on a parchment of dried skin in the blood of an epic-level monk, is written in a language too ancient and obscure to possibly be translated. It is resistant to the effects of Comprehend Languages, the Decipher Script skill, or anything else that would allow one to translate it. Even a character with the epic Polyglot feat cannot decipher it. Translating it requires an expedition to Limbo, and a 'donation' of 10,000 gold pieces to a Githzerai monastary to bribe the Master to translate it, revealing that it is, in fact... a cheesecake recipe. A very good cheesecake recipe, mind you, but still...

Blade of Rage: This blade causes the user to fill with a great rage when used in combat. This produces no mechanical effect whatsoever.

Armor of Spite: This suit of spiked full-plate functions as perfectly normal (or appropriately enchanted, whatever your preference) armor... until the wearer dies. It then instantly obliterates the body of the former wearer, making him/her substantially more difficult to resurrect, then vanishes with an evil chuckle.

Crown of Dazzling Beauty: This crown is dazzlingly beautiful; however, it confers no such benefit on its wearer. In fact, it actually makes the wearer look downright ugly in comparison, giving a -3 to all Charisma-based checks.

Bag of Leprechaun Gold (or Faerie Gold, whichever you prefer): An oldie but a goodie, this sack appears to be full of gold coins and jewels. When one attempts to spend them, however, the glamer on them soon vanishes, revealing them to be nothing but leaves and pebbles. Obviously, most shopkeepers will not be happy about this, and no amount of 'we didn't know, I swear!' will change their mind.

Everspinning Top: This perfectly balanced top will spin forever once started, unless someone knocks it down or moves it. It does so by drawing a barely-noticeable amount of energy from the area around it, so it doesn't actually produce any energy or mess up any of the laws of thermodynamics.

Gag Crossbow: This +4 Shocking Burst Vampiric Wounding Heavy Crossbow appears to be a weapon of great strength, loaded with a dozen bolts each somehow infused with a Maximized Fireball. When one attempts to fire it, though, the only reaction is a 'pthbbbt!' noise and a white flag inscribed 'Bang!' that pops out. The false enchantment of the arrows and crossbow then fades away.

Oathbow: This +Something Composite Longbow is obviously of elven origin, inscribed with numerous runes in an ancient elven dialect. When used against an enemy, it begins to sprout an endless stream of profanities ('oaths', if you will) in both Common and Elvish. This does not end until the enemy is defeated, and starts right back up again the next time it is fired.

Duck of Many things : This duck lays 1d4 eggs a day, random mundane odditiys are found in the eggs. The duck tends to lay them in hidden places. For a random item from the eggs, roll on the 'Robe of Useful things' chart. (yes, that does include the mule)

Robe of Useless Things: This robe has random junk as patches on it. It works the same was as the Robe of Useful things. (but the gum wrapers still have a little flavor!)

Amulet of Prophecy: Every so often, causes the user to spontaneously prophesy about the fate or character of someone nearby. The prophecy is invariably true, but it is never something the recipient would want to hear - for example it may inform a king that he will soon die and have dogs eat his corpse. The recipients tend to get quite angry at the user after this.
Wand of Joy: Saying the command word causes it to vibrate softly.
Ring of Animal Speech: Lets you communicate with animals as the Speak With Animals spell. However you cannot communicate with anyone other than animals while wearing it, as all your speech comes out as grunts, hoots, warbles, and the like. Removing it requires a Remove Curse spell.
Two-Handed Sword: Has two handles, but no point.
Gauntlets of Ogre's [indecipherable]: The gauntlets have engravings of mighty Ogres on them, but the inscription that would tell you which Ogrish quality the gauntlets provide has been scratched out. Experimentation quickly provides the answer: their Intelligence score...

Infinite bag of holding:
Works more like a tiny-sized portal to the astral plane. Once something goes in it floats randomly in the astral plane with no guarantee or likelihood of ever coming near the bag again. Each use of the bag is the same spot but the items drift endlessly so all are too far to be retrieved using the bag normally.

Horn
Its a little horn when squeezed it makes a loud noise. It is very annoying.

Boots of Dance:
This grants a character a +5 bonus to Perform (dance) checks. However, if the character attempts to move while wearing them they are affected by the Irresistable Dance spell (CL 12th, Will DC19) except the spell is not a mind-affecting effect and the character can make one standard or move action per round while dancing.

Singing Sword
Every swing of the sword causes it to sing for 1 round. Every time the sword strikes something it vibrates and sings for 1d6 rounds. Its Perform (sing) check is equal to the wielders attack roll with it. The annoying singing serves as a distraction and makes the wielder and any other creature within 30 feet who can hear it dazzled every round it sings (DC19 Will save to resist). A successful save makes a character immune to the singing only until it is swung again.

Boots of Silence
These boots make a character extra quiet granting them a +5 bonus to Move Silently checks. But they also mute the character making them completely unable to speak or yell or make any noise from their normal vocal organs. The muting effect makes it impossible to use verbal components or to make Perform (sing) or Perform (oratory) checks. It also penalizes a -4 penalty to all Charisma-based skill checks and the DC of all mind-affecting abilities which are language dependant and/or use auditory components (such as Enthrall or Holy Word).

Bouncy Ball
It is a ball made of rubber. It bounces.

Spring Heels
These boots work just like boots of Striding and Springing except that whenever the character makes a Jump check, they always move the maximum distance possible with their Jump check, even if they intended to move less of a distance. If an obstacle impedes their path they take 1d6 falling damage per 10 feet they would have otherwise moved (no save or check to avoid) and provoke an AoO from all surrounding squares. The same effect happens when they attempt to move and automatically run at top speed to a maximum distance in the direction they've chosen. Because it is a forced effect when the character chooses to move, it requires only a move action but it may interrupt a character's other actions depending. A Will save DC19 prevents this effect for 1 round.

Amoir of Invulnerability
It's a large-sized amoir which appears to be made of wood but is actually made of pure force. It is completely invulnerable to all sorts of harm, although it can be moved just like it were a normal object weighing a little over 200 lb. Hiding inside the amoir provides full-cover but if the amoir is forcefully moved a distance more than 10ft. per round, any creature inside takes normal falling damage as if they'd fallen that distance (minus the first 10 feet). A tumble check reduces the damage.

Invisible Mask
This mask appears to the wearer/holder to be a normal mask, but when worn all those other than the wearer can see through it like glass (wearer may make a Will save DC19 to disbelieve this illusion).

Locking Glue
Applying this magical substance to a weapon allows it to hold steadfast onto the first wielder who holds it just as a locking gauntlet would. However, once it's locked on it cannot be taken off unless the item is destroyed or the wielder's hand amputated.

Helm of Invisibility
When putting on the helmet, it becomes completely invisible. The wearer must make a Will save DC19 to disbelieve that they themselves have become invisible instead of just the helmet. Success makes the wearer immune only until the helmet is removed otherwise they believe themselves invisible until it is removed.

Magical Mirror of Secrets
This magicla mirror can supposedly be asked any question and it will answer with a deep mystical truth. It actually only spouts lies and deceptions which attempt to get the asker in trouble, harm, or even killed. The Sense Motive DC to realize the mirror is lying is DC29.

Magician's Hat
As a move action a character can pull one of three items out of this hat:
-A tiny or smaller-sized animal
-A bouqet of flowers
-A random article of clothing costing no more than 1 silver
Once pulled out the item will randomly dissappear back from whence it came 1d6 rounds later. Only 3 items at a time can be out of the hat.

Fiesta Arrow or Bow
These arrows add a +20 bonus to attack rolls made with them (as if by Truestrike) but unfortunately they explode harmlessly into confetti upon contact with a target dealing no damage. The explosion does create the effects of the Glitterdust spell except that it dazzles creatures instead of blinding them and the dust can be shaken off harmlessly with a DC15 Reflex save (CL12th, Will DC19).

Backbiting Weapon
These powerful +5 Vorpal Flaming Acidic Keen Speed weapons always treat their wielder as if they were under the effects of the Backbiter spell. No save is given. The only way to resist is to not use the weapon.

Wand of Teleportation
Upon a successful use of this wand it teleports to the designated location as normal by the Dimension Door spell or Teleport spell (wielder's option). It does not however, take the wielder with it and leave them there dumbfounded. A Spellcraft DC31 detects this tricky item.

Cloak of "I"
This cloak is covered in poorly written "I" and "i". Why anyone would think this was fashionable is beyond me.

Cloak of Ice
This cloak appears to be a blue cloak of magical power until someone actually puts it on and realize it actually is made of self-sustaining ice. Wearing the cloak deals 1 nonlethal cold damage to the wearer every minute.

Axe of Pain
The axe is always moaning and groaning with pain. It works much like the Singing Sword except it has no performance, it just whines and complains.

Ring of Protection
While wearing this ring, the wearer is completely sterile and cannot reproduce. A Fortitude save DC19 shakes off this effect for 24 hours.

Armor of Arrow Catching
Once per round any arrow or arrow-like projectle which is fired into, from, or past a 30-foot radius around the wearer is caught and instead targets the wearer instead of the normal target (same attack roll). If the wearer was the original target this instead reduces the wearer's AC against the attack by 2.

Ring of Regeneration
The ring regenerates as if a living creature with Regeneration 5 (acid and fire deal normal damage). If it is completely destroyed it comes back together after 1d6 rounds.

Rod of Flailing
Whenever a character attempts to wield the rod, they must make a DC19 Will save or be caused to flail randomly by the wand. This works just like the Boots of Dance except it adds no bonus to Perform (Dance) checks and causes the character to flail instead of dance.

Crystal Ball
A ball made of pure crystal. Very delicate. Any attempt to scry with it causes it to shatter.

Criztal Ball
A glass ball which grants a character perfect 20/20 vision when looking through it. All vision impairments (except blindness) are eliminated while looking through this ball.

Monk's Belt
When worn, a 12th level Lawful Human Monk NPC instantly knows the location of the wearer and they seek out the wearer hunting them down until they can get their belt back. The monk is usually about 1d% miles away from the wearer when it is first put on. No save to resist this effect.

Bottle of Air
It's a bottle. Full of air. Congratulations.

Eversmoking Bottle/Towel "Towelie"
This diminutive bottle/small towel is permanently animated as if by the animate object spell except it is also intelligent possessing Int 19, Wis 9, and Cha 14. It's only directive in life is to smoke the strongest substances it can find and will even perform favors and tasks in exchange for opium, tobacco, pipes, and other smoking supplies.

Gauntlet of Rust
This gauntlet is completely rusted. Wearing them penalize the wearer with a -2 penalty to all attack rolls, sleight of hand checks, open lock checks, disable device checks, and use magic device checks.

Goggle of Night
These goggles make everything appear dark as if by night-time when worn making wearers suffer Spot penalties as if they were in low-light. The goggles are difficult to remove requiring a full-round action or one move action every round for 3 rounds.

Helm of Underwater Action
Thise helm when worn makes a wearer extremely attractive to Tritons, Merfolk, and other aquatic creatures. Aquatic creatures within 60 feet of a wearer must make a DC19 Will save or become charmed by the wearer until they leave the radius. Nonlawful and nongood creatures under these effects will instead become infatuated by the wearer and attempt to engage in sexual intercourse with them...with or without their permission. Creatures will even be willing to knock the wearer unconscious and kill or knock out any other creature trying to stop them to satisfy their desires before moving on back to their normal lives. Multiple creatures under these effects often work together to achieve their mutual goal. The effects of this item last until the creatures leave the radius or satisfy their desires (making them immune for 24 hours).

Instant Fortress
This works like the normal item of the same name except the Fortress lasts only 1 round before returning to a metal cube.

Manual of Quickness of Action
This makes any wearer unable to engage in sexual or sensual or any intimate relations (including kissing, groping) for no more than 1d6 minutes before they become fatigued. A Fortitude save DC19 shakes off the effects for another 1d6 minutes.

Necklace of Fireballs
It appears to be a necklace made of red pearls, until picked up and the wearer realizes it's actually made of tiny fireballs dealing 1d3 points of fire damage to anyone who dares touch it. They provide light they were a torch. Spot DC20 notices these are made of fire before grabbing them.

Phylactery of Faithfulness
When worn, this phylactery makes a wearer unable to engage in intimidate relations (kissing, groping, sex) with any being other than the one they are currently married to. A creature with multiple marriage partner only considers their latest to be their current. A creature with no marriage partner cannot be intimdate with anyone. A creature with no concept of marriage can only be intimate with the first creature they mate with and no other until this item is removed. A Will save DC19 shakes off this effect for 24 hours although it leaves the creature wracked with guilt and fatigued for 24 hours as well.

Pipes of the Sewers
Sewage pipes. Ewww. Why are these here?

Robes of the Archmagi
As Monk's Belt (see above) except the NPC is a Wizard instead of Monk.

Stone Horse
It's a statue of a horse...why is it here?

Wind Fan
It's a fan that when the command word is spoken will fan a person on its own as if it were a dancing weapon. Unfortunately, it keeps fanning harder and harder moving from a gentle breeze (first 10 rounds), to strong wind (round 11-20), to very strong wind (round 21-30), to hurricane (round 31-40), to tornado (round 41-50) and then stops at 50th round. Once started, it cannot be stopped although it can be destroyed.

The Doom Bell - When struck, everyone hears this bell. Everyone. Every being on every plane, every god, every demon and devil, the animals, the living, the dead - everyone and everything. It is said to be the bell that will herald the end of the world.

The Domesday Book - When opened, contains a full page of detailed information about the subject the opener was thinking of. This information is all lies.

Full Plate of One - The wearer cannot use his arms, legs, eyes, mouth, or ears while the Full Plate of One is equipped. This item can only be removed with a remove curse spell or if someone else removes the armor. Also gives a temporary +10 to a player's wisdom modifier, and he also learns everything about the armor. Since the wearer can't talk, he can't say that he wants the armor off, or that the armor can be removed simply by one of them pulling it off. Otherwise, it is just a normal suit of full plate.

Helm of the Higher Way - Nobody can take your cart or significant other, and you cannot be beheaded while wearing the helm.

Miniature Grinding Wheel - The miniature grinding wheel's operation is to sharpen weapons, though you can also pound your enemies with it as if you were using a -2 cursed club without the usual penalty for improvised weapons.

Illibin's Incredible Map - This map provides the longest and most treacherous route to any destination simply by stating where you are, where you want to be, and then opening the map.

Crown of the True King - If the wearer is the true king, the crown grants +yes to all positive numerals present in the character. If the wearer is not the true king, the crown says "You are not the true king" very loudly at the most inopportune moments.

Axe of Usefulness - Multiplies the damage by 3 if, for any reason, the damage being dealt is equal to zero.

Sword of Big Numbers - Says "Big numbers baby, come on!" whenever it is swung, but always deals 1 damage or less.

Intoxicating Ring - The wearer is drunk as if he just drank D% gallons of ale.

Flashy Clothes - These look like some of the finest woven clothes you've ever seen, but as soon as someone puts them on they begin to flash like a strobe light. The wearer gets -1000 to hide checks, and everyone who can see the wearer (including the wearer) has to make a will save. The wearer gets -5 to his result.

0-5: Blinded
10-20: Stunned
21-30: Looks away
30+: Resists

This check must be made every round someone can see the wearer, with a -1 to the result for each round.

Ring of Conceal Alignment - Nobody can use magic to tell which direction you are facing.

Compass of the Only True Path - A compass that points to wherever the DM wants you to go.

Intoxicating Ring is kind of lethal...

The Fork of Horripilation

This unique artifact weapon is held sacred by those who worship deities of madness. The Fork has the power to horripilate the enemies of the weilder, dealing horripilated damage instead of normal damage. Horripilated damage bypass all DR and can only be healed with natural rest. While holding The Fork of Horripilation in hand, the weilder is incapable of using any extraordinary, supernatural, or spell-like special attacks, including all spellcasting, psionics, and martial maneuvers. Regardless of any special qualities, ability scores, or feats possessed by the weilder, the Fork deals 1 point of horripilated damage on each hit.

Prophylactic of Joy

When worn, this prophylactic ensures a 100% fertility rate.

Potion of True Happiness

The imbiber of this potion achieves true happiness. The effect only lasts for one second, which is not long enough to achieve any mechanical impact whatsoever (unless it triggers some obscure clause in a gypsy curse).

Glasses of infrovision: allows the use to see through any suitably large afro, can't actually see anything that might be hidden in it, just stuff on the other side.

These are a few variations of the immovable rod i've seen on this forum (I didn't invent any, sorry if they've already been posted):

Movable rod: functions similarly, but doesn't take nearly as much effort to move (DC 14 STR check or 70 pounds of pressure)

Rod of inertia: Moves at the same velocity it's moving at when you press the button. Works like an immovable rod when you test it; when you use it to stop falling, it does nothing.

Relatively immovable rod: always at the same distance and direction from some arbitrary object. Could be anything from a PC to a speck of sand in a sandstorm.

Jump upwards and press the button as soon as your feet leave the ground. Hop off a cliff and press the button before you've fallen so much as a yard downwards. This is a very useful item.

Blast. I was too late. I was going to suggest them... here's a bit of effect for them:

I want one of those. Very useful. For example, run for a little bit, holding one over your head, then push the button. The rod carries you the way you were running! Useful for transport - just put a saddle or something on the rod, and ride! The rod needs no food, can fly over obstacles, can't be harmed, and can be tucked into a pocket when not in use. Want to fly? Jump and push the button in mid-air. Also functions as an immovable rod normally whenever you can hold it still.

Also, the falling situation can be remedied with this. Just throw it upwards with one hand, and push the button with the other hand as the rod flies upwards. (Be sure to grab it afterwards!) The rod will fly back up to wherever you fell from too!

This rod will also pull on ropes for you - just tie the rope on, and throw the rod so the button hits the ground. The rod could also push large objects along.

First, love this monster, second, my personal favorite "epic level magic item."

Every religion has a story of how the end of the world will come. All but one of them are wrong. This jet black longsword is an artifact from one of the religions that is wrong. It is absolutely convinced its wielder, ANY wielder, is meant to bring about the end of all time, and announces this in the mind of and person picking it up. This is its only power, and the owner is of no compulsion to complete this prophesy or even wield the blade. The blade, despite claiming to be a powerful magic item, infact does 1d4-10 damage.

That was actually something my Fighter/Paladin used a lot. He had a little doll that he used as a divine focus. The DM ruled that because it was always having energy channelled through it, but it wasnt a normal focus that it would give off a magical aura akin to an artifact.

Infinite bag of holding:
Works more like a tiny-sized portal to the astral plane. Once something goes in it floats randomly in the astral plane with no guarantee or likelihood of ever coming near the bag again. Each use of the bag is the same spot but the items drift endlessly so all are too far to be retrieved using the bag normally.

Get a lot of string. Tie to something too large to fit through the opening. Tie other end of string to an item you wish to store, and toss the item in. As they only drift, you can later retrieve the item by pulling on the appropriate string. As the something is too large to go through the opening, the string is always available for tugging. Infinite storage capacity, just make sure you've got a reasonable Use Rope check.



The Domesday Book - When opened, contains a full page of detailed information about the subject the opener was thinking of. This information is all lies.
Very useful once you figure it out. Simply think of a subject that's limited to what amounts to yes/no answers. You can do the same with similar "always lies" objects. Doesn't work so hot on "random answer" objects, though.

Edit:
Hmm... what's another one?
Ah:
The Purple Heart
This still-beating heart is purple, and registers as magical. If installed in place of a person's existing heart (it comes with instructions on how to do this, and keep the target alive during the replacement) it grants the implantee a +2 bonus to constitution and regeneration 1. However, 1d4 hours later, the magic of the heart fades, and it stops beating, killing the implantee with no save.

Omniscope

This small mirror is in fact a major artifact. It can scry on any place in the multiverse, with no possible non-epic defences working against it.

The problem is, you have to aim the sensor manually, using four small dials- one controls the plane seting, the other three the spacial coordinates. The coordinates are marked in an ancient language (DC40 Decipher Script to understand) and follow an incredibly bizarre system.

All this basically means that all you'r going to be able to do with the mirror is stare into empty space.

Goggles of Day: The lenses of this item are made of light crystal. Even though the lenses are opaque, when placed over the eyes of the wearer they enable him to see like it was nighttime. Both lenses must be worn for the magic to be effective.

Pretty good for anything with darkvision. Allows them to see normally even if they're blind, or darkness has been cast.


Wand of Not Yet: This wand can be broken in half, doing so gives the person that broke it one free use of the Wish spell. However, Whenever the user attempts to break it or have it broken by any means, they must make a DC99 Will Save or else they decide that they should save it for later when they really need it.

Cool! A 1 in 20 chance of a free Wish!

Just made a dragon's hoard full of this stuff. Can't. Wait. To. Use. It.

Here are a few of my favorites to add to the list:

Blade of Deception: A +1 longsword which is, in fact, a -10 bastard sword.

Horseshoes of Lawful Speed: Placed on a mount to prevent attraction from local traffic authorities.

Book of Exalted Deeds: Contains a listing of some of the finest houses ever sold and the specifics of the titles to the properties.

Robe of Blending: Any fruit or vegetable placed into these robes will be puréed into a fine pulp.

Chime of Opening: Commonly affixed to or near doors, when pressed it emits a sound on the interior of the owner’s home to let them know guests have arrived.

Sovereign Glue: This is the rightful monarch of all other glue, currently deposed by its wicked uncle. It bears itself regally and will not suffer you to open or use it.

Staff of the Woodlands: This staff came from a tree in a forest.

Ring of Sustenance: These rings come in many shapes, forms, and levels of quality, but most are made of deep fried breaded onions. They are quite sustaining when eaten in large quantities.

Ring of Blinking: On command this ring allows the wearer to blink, wink, and perform other somatic eyelid tricks.

Water of Cleansing: When used on any dirty part of the body, this water begins removing dirt and grime. The more that is used the greater the effect. +5 circumstance bonus with soap.

Mithralmist Armor: This mist shines like mithral when worn. The mist bears no other special qualities.

Ring of Acid Immunity: This ring renders its wearer immune to psychedelics.

Cloak of Charisma: Most people agree your cloak is very charming, attractive, and witty. Sometimes they wonder loudly what the cloak is doing with you.

Cloak of Resistance: When this item is placed on any living thing it somehow manages to fall off, untie itself, slip past the owner’s neck entirely, or otherwise avoid being worn.

Frisbee’s Floating Disc: Functions much like the spell Tenser’s Floating Disc only it is much smaller, cannot carry weight, and must be thrown to be activated.

Belt of Gender Changing (Mental) - This belt, when worn changes the wearer's gender, in their mind. It has no physical affect, but immediatly the wearer believes their gender has changed, and acts accordingly.

Set
2009-11-17, 07:37 PM
Ring of Chameleon Power - This ring can change colors to match any background, and does so, matching the skin tone of whomever wears it.

Slippers of Spider Climbing - These fuzzy slippers give the wearer a +20 to climb checks whenever he tries to climb a spider.

Boots of Jumping - These boots are fine leather riding boots, when worn, but when taken off and set on the ground, they hop away from anyone who attempts to grab them, delaying actions to use to leap away with a movement rate of 10 ft. / round and Jump checks of +20. The only way to store them safely overnight is to grip them tightly, tie and stake them down, or place them on a surface at least 3 ft. above the ground (such as a table or shelf) as they are afraid of heights and will not leap down.

Wand of Burning Hands - Attempting to invoke the power of this fire-blackened ash wand will result in the holder suffering 1d3 Fire damage, as it grows white hot for a moment. The Wand of Shocking Grasp works similarly, but is made of copper and inflicts Electrical damage to it's holder.

Quaal's Feather Token, Sea Anenome - This small trinket of coral and shell transforms into a 1 lb. sea anemome when activated. The creature is non-edible, non-poisonous and cannot survive for more than a few minutes out of water, generally dying an excruciating death soon after being summoned. If thrown at a foe, the tiny sodden creature makes a wet splorch sound, and then dies, doing no damage, but perhaps staining fine clothing with it's internal fluids.

Chime of Opening - When struck against a solid surface, this chime emits a loud click, and opens along it's length, to reveal a tiny compartment adequate to conceal a single 'smoke' worth of pipeweed or a blowgun needle. When the compartment is closed, it is seamless and cannot be detected.

Staff of Fear - This darkwood quarterstaff is decorated with elongated screaming faces, skulls, thorny briars and chains. The staff is terrified of combat situations, and can only be used as a walking stick. In any combat situation it immediately rolls to disarm itself, and hopes and rolls away from combat at a speed of 10 ft., not stopping until it is at least 30 ft. from violent action. If it does not successfully disarm itself, it can be used as part of the Total Defense action without penalty, but otherwise had a -4 to attack rolls, whether used while fighting normally or Defensively.

Elixir of Hiding - This flask likes to 'burrow' and hides itself deep within any pack, lockbox or satchel. It can move itself around as if it had Mage Hand, but will not leave the body of a person carrying it, and it has Hide and Move Silently modifiers of +10. It always requires an extended search to find this flask, with the exception of if it is stored within a Handy Haversack (note, it *hates* Handy Haversacks!), and is only worth dealing with because it appears to be indestructible, and makes a fine storage flask for some substance that you do not expect to need in a hurry.

Wand of False Life - This wand, if set down on a solid surface, will sprout tiny legs and arms, and move around like a living thing, spontaneously wandering around in a small area and sometimes dancing, particularly if there is music being played. It isn't actually alive and will not move out of the 5 ft. square it is placed within. The arms and legs will fold away if the wand is picked up, but it always seems to have an elongated face as part of the grain of the wood at one end.

Eyes of Petrification - These human eyes are made of solid stone. If set down on a solid surface, they roll into position next to each other and swivel to follow the person who last held them, rolling up to 5 ft. per round in an attempt to keep that person in view. If that person leaves line of sight, they stop moving and 'forget' the person until someone else (perhaps the same person) picks them up.

Staff of Size Alteration - This uncooperative quarterstaff is capable of changing sizes at will, always being either one size class too big (1-50%) or one size class too small (51-100%) for the current holder. In any given round of combat, it gets excited and changes size again (roll randomly, with the staff either adding or subtracting a size category, and possibly even being the correct size, on rare occasions). If the holder is subject to a Reduce Person or Enlarge Person spell, the staff flips out and absorbs the spell, either completely disappearing (in the case of Reduce Person) or transforming into a tree permanantly, similar to the effects of a Quaal's Feather Token - Tree (in the case of Enlarge Person).

Potion of Polymorphing - This brownish elixir, when poured out of it's flask, turns into a random nonmagical item weighing up to 1 lb, and worth no more than 100 gp.

Decanter of Water : This immensely powerful artefact has an extremely strong aura of transmutation and conjuration. It is shaped much like an ordinary bottle, though it is made of spun green glass, with tiny spiderweb thick patterns scattered across it. The bottle has the magical ability to fill with exactly one litre of water, when submerged in water. It maintains the same function in any other liquid, displacing one litre of that fluid within itself, from the source. This ability is only effective when the bottle is fully emersed, and if it is emersed in a different liquid than was originally contained, the contained fluid floats out, and is replaced by the new.

Some fairly useful ones, compared to you guys downright evil selection:

Vial of Endless Water
If the stopper is removed from this ordinary-looking vial and a command word spoken, a very small amount of fresh water drips out. (1 drop per round or approximately 1 gallon per hour) The vial does not generate noticeable back pressure, and thus will not function if submerged, blocked, or placed in a sealed container.

Rusting Gauntlet
This single metal gauntlet is rusted and pitted but still contains some power. It can affect an object as with the rusting grasp spell, however the gauntlets also rust away to nothing when activated. It offers no protection from rust (magical or otherwise), including the attack of a rust monster.

Necklace of Hydration
This necklace is a silver chain with a shell medallion. The magic of the necklace wraps the wearer in a shell of fresh water, even in a vacuum, making him immune to all harmful vapors and gases (such as cloudkill and stinking cloud effects, as well as inhaled poisons). If the user can not breathe when submerged, they are subjected to the normal drowning effects.

Flavoring Spoon
This unremarkable eating utensil is typically fashioned from silver. If the spoon is placed in an empty container the vessel fills with a small amount of golden liquid. When added to food, this spice greatly improves aroma and flavor (but confers no mechanical benefits). The spoon can generate enough spice to flavor four meals for medium humanoids per day.

Vial of Whispers
This small blue glass vial will hum quietly to itself when uncorked. If the command word is spoken it will fall silent until two rounds have passed or 5 words are spoken in it's presence. The vial will quietly repeat those words until the command word is spoken again or 1d4 days have passed. If attempting to use the Vial of Whispers to pass messages between two creatures, a DC15 Listen check is necessary to correctly interpret the whispering.

Sealed Decanter of Water: This is a perfectly sealed bottle which will continuously refill itself with water. No amount of physical force or magic, not even a Wish, will allow the bottle to be opened. It may be physically broken into, in which case, the water can be used. However, breaking the decanter ends its magical effect.

Wristband of Perfect Time: This is a wrist item which keeps perfect time, to the second. It is the only one in existance, so the character in a fantasy world will have no way to reference such information. Furthermore, the facing is written in a foreign language, thus leaving the character unaware of the meaning of the object.

A large stuffed snake that will comically swallow and eat any diminutive or small objects that you feed it. It comes with a set of figures; Spiky balls, stuffed creatures, and rubber toys that squeak are all favourites, but it can be anything that the owner might desire: that really is the greatest appeal of this toy! The endless innovation opportunities available too the lucky owner!

This tiny wondrous item actually does have use, albeit an incredibly limited one. The wielder of this item, while grappling a Diminutive or smaller target, can force the snake to eat the victim by stuffing it down the snakes throat with a successful grapple check. The DC to escape the gullet by either strength or skill is 28, which is only two less than the DC for the Iron Bands of Binding. The gullet has hardness 15, which is why it's so hilarious to play with, and it also has 15 resistance to fire. It takes double damage from acid, though, so watch out! And it only has 30 hp.

The snake can also be used to eat arms or other limbs of larger creatures, with the same rules for DCs and grapple checks. The snake is only hardness 5 from the outside though, so it is much easier to destroy.

This item can come in a special limited-edition form, available in magic shoppes near you, that poops out what it eats every half an hour. This is fine for diminutive and smaller creatures, they come out in a tiny crystal-like semi-transparent shell. This shell reduces any creatures excreted in this manner to a 0 dexterity, and in an airless environment. The creature has the special privilege of making strength checks though, despite this normally being impossible for 0-dexterity creatures. The DC for these checks is 14.

Larger creatures that have trapped limbs pooped face complications in the form of ongoing damage as the snake tries to digest the offending limb. This is 1d4 damage for 1d6+3 turns, after which the snake gives up, until the half hour is up again. There is a 10% every time the snake tries to digest something to big for it that the delicate mechanisms inside the creature become mangled and broken. The snake is DC fifteen to repair, if you have basic mechanical parts, although DM's might rule that some specific parts have to be custom-ordered, which could take several weeks. This is a long time for their snake buddy to be out of commission, but I'm sure the PCs can manage.

Newer versions of the snake exist that have emergency command words built in to make the snake release whatever it is holding. This feature was added because it was found that it was very hard to get anything out of the snakes, so they quickly became rather bloated and ripped their seams. The company in charge of their manufacture put out the second type of snake to solve this defect by the mechanism of the snake reliving itself. This proved problematic also, as outlined above, and the company created a third model of item.

Sadly, the number of lawsuits filed against the company by consumers who had been injured or maimed by the toys was enough to bring down the company, and very few of the perfected model of the snake were ever shipped to stores. Some legends tell of a whole delivery truck, mistakenly pre-ordered by a scroll and curios merchant, that never made the return trip to the factory. They say it roams the long, back country roads even now, and some reports mention that the phantom vehicle playing soothing carnival-esque music in an attempt to lure victims closer. What it would do with such victims is a open question, as it has been as yet unsuccessful. Timid minds quake at the notion of the hundreds of snake-puppet heads coiling out of their boxes and out though the back doors, like a hideous hungry tail, each puppet head longing for human bones... and revenge.

I suggest running this monster as a lernaean hydra with any half-construct template you think is cool. The sock-puppet heads act as a bite attack at this point, so I'd make the damage 1d4+whatever and give it lots and lots of heads. However many would be ridiculous.

The snakes also coil up into the drivers seat, although it is unclear whether it is the snakes, the truck, or something else that is driving. Some might remark on its passing resemblance to Obox-Ob, if Obox-Ob were a truck. Perhaps the fell spirit of this fallen demon lord has bonded with the puppets, for he is patron of the those who would rise once more to their glory, or else cast all of the universe into the Void and the Ash. So is it with Obox-Ob. So is it with the puppet-snakes.

Awesome Hat: This is a very nice hat. Anybody who sees it compliments the wearer on it, but their opinion is not otherwise altered.
Helm of Autotelepethy: You may hear your own thoughts.
Amulet of Uneccessary Health: This amulet may cast Heal on the wearer as a standard action, it only functions when the wearer is at full health.
Invisible, Insubstantial Longsword: It's there, the merchant says it is. The fact that it looks like an empty scabbard means nothing.
