ITEMS POTIONS ALCHEMICAL ELIXIRS: [S8] Most any alchemical elixir may be found or bought. See The Compleat Alchemist for details. XP value: 100 gp value: 200+(1d10*10) ALCHEMICAL POTIONS: [S8] All of the alchemical potions can be found or bought. See The Compleat Alchemist. XP value: 300 gp value: 400+(5d6*10) INORGANIC SOLVENT: [S8] (a.k.a., Universal solvent negative.) Only alchemists know the secrets of creating this solvent. Inorganic solvent will dissolve any non-organic materials (such as stone, metals, glass, ceramics, etc.) at the rate of 1 cubic foot per minute, lasting for 1-4 minutes. This substance is ideal for dissolving locking mechanisms, doors, walls, etc. It can only be carried in a container made of some organic substance, such as a wooden vial, or a small wineskin. Inorganic solvent has no effect on any living organisms or organic materials of any kind. XP value: 800 gp value: 2,000 OIL OF PHOSPHORESCENCE: [S1] A slight application of this oil will cause the user to believe that it is some other form of magical oil, generally oil of slipperiness. However, when it is fully applied to a living being's body, the user's skin will suddenly start to glow as if it were aflame. This bioluminescence is permanent, and can only be negated by a limited wish, a wish, or a remove curse cast by a cleric of 9th level or higher. The glow emitted from the body is usually a yellow-green color, and the affected individual is highly visible at night or against dark surroundings. All attempts to hide, short of covering oneself completely in blankets, hiding in another room, or going invisible, are doomed to fail. XP value: Nil gp value: 100 ORGANIC SOLVENT: [S8] (a.k.a., Universal solvent positive.) Only alchemists know the secrets of making this solvent. Organic solvent will do 6-36 damage to any living organism and dissolve any organic material (such as wood, leather, cloth, etc.) at the rate of 1 cubic foot per minute. Duration of effects 1-4 minutes. Organic solvent can be contained in any glass, ceramic, or metal vial. Note that this fluid has no effect upon non-organic materials of any kind. XP value: 400 gp value: 1,000 PHASE POTION: [SG] Phase potion, which is related to oil of etherealness, is more useful for general combat. When imbibed, this potion allows the user to shift in and out of phase with the Prime Material plane at will, much like a phase spider. When out of phase, the user is impervious to all forms of attack except those that reach into Ethereal plane. A phase door spell forces the user to remain in phase for seven rounds. Even when in phase, the user is surrounded by a fiery nimbus of white fire, the trace of the portal to the Ethereal Plane. In addition to being able to shift himself to the Ethereal plane, the user may take up to 60 lbs. of material with him. Inert gear can be taken automatically simply by touching it an willing it to come along, a living creature is entitled to a save vs. spells at -2 if it does not wish to go with the potion user. These effects last for 5d8 rounds. Phase potions are brewed from phase-spider ichor or from the concentrated juices of rare underground fungi. XP value: 800 gp value: 2,000 POTION OF CURING LYCANTHROPY: This potion, as the name implies, when imbibed will cure lycanthropy in the imbiber but contains belladonna and has a 5% chance of poisoning the drinker, this poison will cause death unless cured in one hour's time. XP value: 100 gp value: 1,250 POTION OF DIRECTION: [S1] The effects of this drink last much longer than most potions, continuing for 12-48 (12d4) hours. Consumption of this potion enables a character to retrace his path over and solid terrain, in effect preventing the character form getting lost. If a maze spell is cast at a character under the influence of this potion, he reemerge from the maze after only 2-5 segments. If the reversed form of find the path is cast at such a character, the spell and the potion will cancel each other out; the potion will be neutralized, but the spell will not take effect. This potion does not have the same effect as find the path, in that it will not provide clues to the shortest path to the desired location. Note that the user will only be able to retrace a path he travels from the moment the drink is consumed to the moment the drink wears off. Any distance covered before or after that won't be automatically recalled. Once the potion wears off, the enhanced memory one has for the terrain covered will be forgotten; one must rely on a map of the area to successfully retrace his path. XP value: 350 gp value: 800 POTION OF EXPLOSIONS: [S1] Though this potion appears to be like any other drinkable fluid, it is not meant to be consumed. The liquid is a powerful magical explosive that only requires contact with open air and a physical disturbance of some sort (being dropped or thrown, struck with an object, or shaken vigorously) to set it off. A potion of explosions will be found in a tightly sealed bottle similar to most potion containers. The container is generally fragile, of a ceramic or glass material that would probably break (save vs. crushing blow) if thrown against a hard surface. Most of these containers,of course, will be wrapped in cloth or stored where they aren't likely to be broken or jostled. If the entire bottle of liquid is thrown and breaks, this will generate a blast of 10 feet in radius, doing 6d6 damage to all within this area (save vs. breath weapon for half damage). Sometimes a 'dose' of this liquid comes packed in six small glass or ceramic vials that can be thrown separately. Each exploding vial does 1d6 damage to any character or creatures within a 5-foot radius. The small size and light weight of these vials makes them difficult to throw accurately; attacks intended to hit a creature directly are made at -2 to hit. the vials are especially fragile, taking a -2 penalty on any saving throw to determine breakage. The victim of a direct hit form a vial or an entire bottle of this liquid will take half damage if a save vs. breath weapon succeeds, but must make the saving throw at a -6 penalty. If an intended target is missed, the projectile will continue until it strikes the ground or some other solid object--possibly causing damage to someone else in the the vicinity of the impact point. If the container hits its target but does not break, the liquid inside will not be set off, and the container may be picked up and rethrown. The container must make a saving throw vs. fall if it is dropped from a height of 5 feet or less. In addition, there is a 50% chance that the liquid will explode if the container is shaken or jostled vigorously for longer than one segment. The same 50% chance applies on each consecutive segment; for instance, if a character with a potion of explosions in his backpack moves at a faster than walking speed for three consecutive segments three separate rolls are made to see if the liquid explodes. If someone tries to identify this 'potion' by taking a small taste, several things can happen. Opening the bottle and exposing the contents to the air activates the explosive fluid, and there is a 5% chance that the character doing so will inadvertantly jar the bottle enough in the act of opening it to set off the explosive. No saving throw would be given to the opener against the explosion in this case. If a tiny bit is swallowed to sample the potion, the drinker will feel his heart accelerate as if he's just sampled a potion of speed (assuming he knows what that feels like). This effect will only be felt for one round, and does not actually give the drinker any of the benefits of such a potion. If the entire contents of a bottle or vial are drunk, the character must make a system shock roll. If the roll is failed, the liquid explodes inside the drinker, doing 6d6 (or 1d6) damage and requiring another system shock roll to avoid immediate death. If the first system shock roll succeeds, the drinker becomes extremely ill and will be incapacitated for 3-6 hours--unable to walk without assistance, attack, or defend himself. Potions of explosions are extremely rare. Few alchemists will agree to manufacture this liquid because of the great danger involved, even fewer treasure hoards will contain it. XP value: 450/bottle or 75/vial gp value: 900/bottle or 150/vial POTION OF FROST RESISTANCE: [S1] This potion grants immunity to the ill effects of all forms of normal cold down to -100 degrees F. Partial resistance to magical cold is also granted; saving throws vs. cold spells are made at +4 on the die, and damage from cold attacks is reduced by 2 points per die down a minimum of 1 point per die. If only half a dose is consumed, the potion's benefit against magical cold is halved (+2 on saves, -1 on each damage die) but the protection from normal cold is unchanged. A full dose lasts one turn (10 rounds); half dose lasts 5 rounds. Note that the icy breath weapons of creatures such as white dragons, winter wolves, and hoar foxes are included in the category of 'magical cold'. XP value: 250 gp value: 400 POTION OF MIND RESTORATION: [S1] When consumed, this magical liquid will cure any form of normal or magical insanity, and will also restore a feebleminded character to health. If a psionic character who was attacked while defenseless later drinks this potion, it will cure any psychic damage he suffered except for death, idocy, the permanent loss of an attack or defense mode, or a robot state. This potion will also enable a psionic character to recover psionic strength points at twice the normal rate for two hours after the potion is consumed. XP value: 650 gp value: 1,300 POTION OF MISSILE PROTECTION: [S1] The effects of this magical potion last for 3-18 rounds. When consumed, the potion gives partial protection from all magic missile attacks. The drinker gains a saving throw vs. spell each time a single magic missile hits him; if the throw is successful, no damage is take from the missile. If the throw is failed, only one point of damage will be taken from the missile. Note that separate throws are required foe each magic missile, so a target struck by six of them from an 11th-level wizard must save six times. XP value: 400 gp value: 800 POTION OF NUTRITION: [S1] The imbiber of this potion can go one week without needing any food or water, and will suffer no ill effects as a result. Protection is also granted against a chime of hunger; the user of a potion of nutrition receives and initial saving throw vs. spell to negate the effect of the chime upon himself. And even if the throw fails, the drinker receives two (not one) saving throws vs. spell on each succeeding round to end the hunger he feels. XP value: 150 gp value: 500 POTION OF PAIN SUPPRESSION: [S2] This non-magical concoction is presumably a barbarian creation, but, if so, the secrets of its manufacturing are closely guarded. The potion deadens pain for 1-4 hours and tends to deplete the user's energy reserves. Against magical powers that directly cause pain, such as a symbol of pain or venom from eriniyes' daggers, the potion gives +5 on all applicable saving throw and reduces all effects of such pain by half in every respect but duration. Furthermore, the potion restores 2-8 hp to the drinker (not exceeding the drinker's original hp total) and allows the character to exert himself physically as if he were one strength class stronger. (A strength class is considered to be each individual line given in the Strength Table II: Ability Adjustments on p. 9 of the Players Handbook.) Thus, a fighter with a strength of 12 would be able to exert himself as if he had as strength of 14 (the lowest value of a range is considered to be the strength achieved). When the potion's effect ends, the user suffers the loss of strength and hit points bestowed, and loses an additional 1-4 hp of his own as well from exhaustion. Because the potion draws on the user's reserves, taking more than one dose at a time can be risky. If two doses are taken together, they will last for a total 2-8 hours, and the user will lose 2-8 hp when the double dose wears off. However, the strength-class increase is the same for a normal-size dose, and bonuses against magical pain attacks are as described above. If three or more doses are taken at once, the user must make a system shock roll, with a +5% per dose penalty, to avoid retching and ruining the effect. If the roll is successful, the duration of the potions will be 3-12 hours, and 3-12 additional hp will be lost at the end. In no case is strength raised by more than one class, bonuses against magic raised, or more than 2-8 temporary hp bestowed. XP value: 0 gp value: 100 POTION OF RESTORATION: [SL] This magical fluid was first created by Kenither the Gaunt. Each dose negates the effects of the following spells and powers, restoring the affected creatures to its normal state: charm monster, charm person, feign death, forget, friends, haste, hold person, polymorph other, ray of enfeeblement, sepia snake sigil, sleep, slow, stoneskin, strength, and Tasha's uncontrollable hideous laughter. A polymorphed creature restored by this potion need not make a system shock roll. The liquid also cures blindness and deafness, and restores a crystalized character (see description of Crystal Spider). The potion can be administered by pouring a dose on the subject or by the creature ingesting it. In either case, it can negate more than one spell. For example, if applied to a creature under Tasha's uncontrollable hideous laughter and haste, both spells would be negated. XP value: 300 gp value: 2,000 POTION OF TOUGHENING: [S1] Quaffing this potion will immediately add 2-18 (d12+d6) hit points to the consumer's current total, even if the final total exceeds the maximum number of hit points are held in reserve. Any damage taken by the character will first be taken off the character's own hit points; only after all of these hit points are gone will hit points be deducted from those bestowes by this potion. The duration of this potion (and the hit points granted by it) is only 7-12 turns. Thus, if someone has received extra hit points from this potion and has lost all of the extra hit points, then when the potion wears off he will not loose any at all, because the extra have already been removed. Potions of toughening should only be taken singly; if a second dose is consumed before the first wears off, the second one has no effect, and the drinker must make a system shock roll or die. XP value: 300 gp value: 600 PSIONICS-BOOSTING POTIONS: [S1] A few potions are known to psionic magic-users and alchemists that are capable of increasing a psionic character's attacks and defense strength for a limited time after being consumed. A potion of this type takes effect 2-8 segments after imbibing it, and the effects can last anywhere from 2-40 turns (2d20). Experience points are gained only buy psionic characters who imbibe the potion and use one of the psionic modes affected buy the potion. Other wise no experience points are given. The potions each are listed with the major ingredient which is taken from a psionic creature from the Prime Material plane. These major ingredients must be taken from a creature which was slain without the use of magic or psionics. A character who drinks a psionics-boosting potion receives extra strength points when he employs one of the attack/defense modes that the potion affects. This boost enables the drinker to attack or defend as if his current psionic strength was increased by the amount of the bonus. However, the user cannot receive these bonus points if he doesn't have enough of his own psionic strength points remaining to use the attack or defense mode normally. For example, someone who drinks the violet potion will not receive bonus points for using a psionic blast unless that character has at least 20 strength points remaining (so that he would be able to use the attack mode even if he had not drunk the potion) and actually employs a psionic blast attack. GREEN This potion adds 50 points onto all psionic blast attacks made by the drinker, and 100 points onto all defense modes used as well. A specimen of tissue from an algoid is required to manufacture this potion. XP value: 300 gp value: 600 VIOLET This potion adds 100 points to all psionic blast attacks made by the drinker, and 50 points to any defense modes used while the potion is in effect. The brain of a mind flayer is required to make this potion. XP value: 300 gp value: 650 WHITE Adds 50 attack points to all mind thrust attacks made by the drinker, but not defensive alterations. This potion requires one brain mole to create. XP value: 200 gp value: 300 GRAY Adds 50 attack points to all psychic crush attacks, but makes not defensive alterations in the imbiber. Parts from a psionic gray ooze are required to manufacture such a potion. XP value: 200 gp value: 350 SILVER This drink will add 50 strength points to any ego whip of id insinuation attacks made by the drinker, and 50 points to any psionic defenses used. An intellect devourer's body is required to make this potion. XP value: 300 gp value: 650 YELLOW This potion adds 50 points to all id insinuation attacks made by the drinker, and also makes a the drinker immune to psionic attack for the duration of the potion's effects. One-half cubic foot of material from a living colony of psionic yellow mold , collected in an appropriate container, is needed to make this potion. XP value: 300 gp value: 600 RED This potion adds 25 points to any psionic blast, psychic crush, or mind thrust attacks made by the drinker, as well as 100 points to any psychic defense mounted. The brain of a su-monster is required to make this drink. XP value: 350 gp value: 650 STANDARD ACID: [S8] This corrosive liquid created by alchemists will do 2-12 points of damage to any living creature and do minor damage (save vs. acid) to any non-organic substance except glass or ceramic items. It may only be contained in glass or ceramic vials. XP value: 20 gp value: 100 SCROLLS, SPELLBOOKS SCROLL OF DOMINATION: [S1] A scroll of domination is a powerful magical document that can cast an advanced charm spell over anyone being normally affected by a charm person spell. The document requires a read magic spell to understand, and may be only be used by magic-users. When the scroll is read to enact its magic, the writing disappears and the scroll is thereafter useless, just as if it were a scroll of spells. The target of this dweomer must be within 60 feet of the scroll reader when the power of the scroll is exercised. The target is allowed a saving throw vs. spell at -2 (with wisdom bonus/penalty applicable); if the throw fails, the being becomes charmed and will obey the caster's verbal commands. And, if both caster and victim share a common language, the victim will also obey mental commands of the magic-user as well. This charm power is the same as that used by vampires. The victim will not obey a self-destructive act, but the charm will not be broken if such a command is issued. The influence of this scroll can only be broken by a dispel magic or remove curse spell from a caster of 12th level or higher, or by a limited wish. The charm power is of relatively short duration, lasting only 4-16 hours. The victim will be freed of the scroll's effect sooner than this if he is taken farther that 60 feet from the scroll reader (the victim will not do so of his own 'free' will), or if a magic circle comes between the magic-user and his victim. XP value: 1,500 gp value: 4,500 SCROLL OF SUGGESTION: [S1] This scroll appears to be an official pronouncement, personal missive, or other such innocuous document, and may be found in treasure hoards like any other scroll. No magical spell is required to read the scroll's contents. A magical curse, however, is worked onto the writing of the scroll such that whoever reads the scroll will immediately become subject to the next normal suggestion heard as if under the influence of the spell suggestion. The victim is allowed a saving throw vs. spell to avoid succumbing to the suggestion, but at the following penalties: -2 for a mildly dangerous act, -4 for a normal request involving little chance of personal danger, and -6 for an extremely reasonable request or suggestion involving no obvious risk. Under no circumstances will the victim perform a life-threatening or suicidal act, as per the provisions for the suggestion spell. Hearing such a suggestion, or making the saving throw allowed for other types of suggestions, will void the curse and negate the effect the effect of the scroll for the character. Because they are reusable, scrolls of suggestion have become popular with many royal courts and governments. Sometimes a messenger bearing one is waylaid by a monster; hence their appearance in treasure hoards. A suggestion to be carried out over a span of time, the scroll's curse will remain in effect after the scroll is read for a number of days equal to the readers intelligence score subtracted from 22. If no suggestion is heard within this time then he will not be affected. If they do hear a suggestion and are trying to fulfill it and then the duration expires, the enchantment is broken. Influence of this scroll upon an affected character may be detected by a detect charm spell, and its effects may be removed by a dispel magic or remove curse spell cast by a spell-caster of the named level or higher (11th level minimum for magic-users, 9th level minimum for clerics, etc.). A wish, limited wish, or alter reality spell will also remove this effect. XP value: Nil gp value: 1,000 ============================ AND HERE IT IS FOLKS! ==================== This is the LOOONG magic Item list, section 2 of 9. RINGS ACME RING OF INVISIBILITY: [S5] This plain bronze ring is inscribed with "Ring of Invisibility" and "ACME Ring Co." When it is worn, the ring becomes invisible--it has no other function. XP value: 1 gp value: 100 JHESSAIL'S SILVER RING: [SO] This ring confers upon the wearer protection from mental attack. No control magic works upon the wearer, and all sucessful charm spells work on the caster, not the wearer. For example: a magic-user attempts to charm the ring wearer, and wearer fails his saving throw. The charm is turned upon the magic-user--who gets no initial saving throw--placing him under the control of the ring wearer. Any being thus charmed gets a saving throw to break the charm every 7 turns, and is instantly freed if the ring is taken off or destroyed. If the ring wearer makes his throw vs. the initial attack, the spell merely fails, and the ring has no effect. This property extends to gaze charm attacks, and is a maagical property rather than a physical "reflection." The ring wearer also gains a +4 saving throw bonus against stunning, confusion, and feeblemind. In addition, the wearer gains +4 on rolls to disbelieve illusions. The ring acts as a tower of iron will (defense strength of 77 points, no attack points) against psionic attacks. XP value: 3,000 gp value: 11,000 RING OF ANIMAL MAGNETISM: Once placed on a character's finger, this ring allows communication with all animals as if the wearer had an 18 charisma. The wearer may speak with animals for as long as the ring is wornn, though the ring does not allow the wearer to charm animals in any manner. Only true animals (mammals, birds, fishes, reptiles, etc.) may be spoken to in this manner; magical 'monsters' are not affected. for the purpose of this ring, assume that any creature capable of using magical spells is a 'monster.' Thus, a pegasus, owlbear, or worg is an animal, but a unicorn, bugbear (because clerical bugbears exist), or a winter wolf is a monster. The wearer may try to convince animals to work or fight for him, and reaction is checked as if the animals were randomly encountered humans. Animals will not attack the wearer of the ring unless attacked first, even if they are hungry. However, 10% of these rings are cursed to draw any and all animals within one mile toward the wearer. The animals then surround the wearer and refuse to move, blocking the wearer's path in all directions. If the wearer of his party attacks any animals, all animals attack the wearer at once. If the ring is removed (requiring a remove curse spell), the animals revert to normal, and either attack (1-2 on d6) or flee (3-6 on d6). XP value: 1,000; Nil if cursed gp value: 5,000; 1,000 if cursed RING OF ANNULMENT: Whil this ring is worn, magic controlled by the character has no effect. This includes magical items, spells, and innate magical powers. Spells cast at the character from an outside source, however, act as normal. Thus heal or fireball affect the wearer normally, but the ring-wearer cannot sure his own wounds using magic. A remove curse must be cast upon the ring in order to allow the wearer to remove it. A dispel magic has a 1% chance per level of the caster of negating the ring's powers for one round, allowing the wearer to remove it. XP value: Nil gp value: 2,000 RING OF THE BARD: This rare magical ring, when worn by a character other than a bard, acts a ring of protection, +2. It can be recognized the the engraved golden vines encircling the band. When placed on the finger of a bard, it retains it protection properties, but with a bonus. The ring then serves as a ring of protection, +2, +4 saving throws. It also raises the bard's charm percentage by 10%. This magic item is usually found in a wildreness or forest area. XP value: 3,000 gp value: 15,000 RING OF BEGONE AND FORGOTTEN: [S5] This small silver ring is always found with other treasure. When it is put on, the wearer must save vs. spell or be transferred somewhere very far away indeed (DMO: may be another planet or plane....or another DM's world). The victim also loses his memory and the other party members forget the victim. (He loses specific memories only--his level, spells, skills, etc. remain.) Only the stark naked victim is transferred: all clothes and equipment stay. This is a good way to add treasure to your world, get rid of annoying player-characters without killing them and give blase` high-level sharacters the challenge of starting over. XP value: Nil gp value: 80,000 RING OF CIRCULAR CURSES: [S5] This ring is only usable by mages. At first glance this ring looks simply ornate and is inscribed with 'Power to Curse'. A closer look shows two gold rings entwined around each other. Closer yet, and the two are shown to be a single band, looped twice. The wearer may cast a curse spell once a day, but the curse will affect him as well as his target. (Ring cannot cast the reverse.) XP value: Nil gp value: 30,000 RING OF CLARAUDIENCE: This ring's gem is a small amethyst with a normal value of 100 gp. The amethyst is easily separated from the ring; it can then placed in a location on which the owner wishes to eavesdrop. A pick pockets roll allows a theif to secretly slip the amethyst into the clothes of another character. Any character can hide the gem in an empty room, barring extraordinary circumstances. Whatever is said with 60' of the amethyst is magically transmitted to the ring itself, and the words are then heard by the ring wearer alone. The ring-gem connection has a range of 1 mile, but only transmits sounds that could be heard by a normal human in the same location of the amethyst. XP value: 1,000 gp value: 7,500 RING OF COMMAND: A ring of command commonly has 3-30 charges when found. The ring has the following abilities, only one of which can be used at any one time: 1. Command: This ability duplicates the first level clerical spell, command. Creatures with an intellegence of 13 or better (highly intellegent and above monsters) or with more than 5 HD or levels are entitled to a saving throw vs. spells. A command uses up one charge for every round the command is in effect. For instance, an orc could be told to 'die' and would stay 'dead' (unconscious) for five rounds is five charges were spent. 2. Charm person: This power is the same as the first-level magic-user spell charm. Two charges must be spent to charm a character, and an additional sharge per day must be expended to continue the spell each day thereafter. The victim is allowed a saving throw vs. sjpells to negate the charm. A character using a ring of command can expend another two charges to try again, of course, in the event of spell failure. 3. Suggestion: This ability is similiar to the third-level mage spell, called suggestion. The target of a suggestion is allowed a saving throw vs. spells, as with the charm person above. A suggestion costs two charges and lasts for one hour. More charges can be spent for additional hours, at the rate of one per hour, as desired. All of these powers only work on the humanoids listed in the Players Handbook under charm person, and their counterparts in the Fiend Folio and Monster Manual II. XP value: 2,000 gp value: 10,000 RING OF DAMAGE ABSORBTION: This ring is usually found as a platinum ring set with a blue diamond, and is most often found near a mutilated body! The ring detects as magic but does not reveal other details. While wearing the ring, the user takes no effect whatsoever from anything (weapons, spells, poisons, etc.). any effect or damage is stored within the ring (no limits). When the ring is removed (or falls off), all damage, spells, etc. are released on the former wearer. The ring can be removed without releasing damage only by casting a dispel magic and a remove curse at the same time that the ring is removed (and even if this is done, all damage, etc. still will remain stored in the ring). In stress situations, the ring has a tendency to slip off the finger of the wearer (will fall off on a 1 on 1d12--how often to roll is DMO). The ring cannot be fixed in place by any means! If a glove is worn over the ring, the glove will fall off also, even if the glove is sewn or tied to a shirt sleeve, etc. Also, the ring will be highly coveted by thieves for its obvious value. Because the ring holds every spell whether good or bad means that damage taken can have a cure light wounds, heal, etc., cast after them (or before) and will be released simultaneously with any and all damage which was stored. This way damage that would put a character below -9 and cause death can be cured with the ring on, and when the ring is removed the healing is subtracted from the damage before the character takes it. XP value: 5,000 gp value: 60,000 RING OF DISTRACTION: This ring appears to be a normal ring of any other sort. In combat, this ring is capable of generating a sudden burst of light and sound that is perceived only by one opponent in melee with the ring-wearer (including those firing or hirling missile weapons within a 60' range). The burst of light and sound is seen/heard by no one else, and the target victim is designated by the ring-wearer's mental commands. This distraction causes the attacker to gain a -4 penalty on all attacks for the current round. If the opponent saves vs. spells, the penalties reduced to a -2 'to hit' result. This attack is made at the start of the melee round, regardless of all other circumstances, as it is a mental command. The ring may be used in this fashion up to five times per day. Once placed on a finger, the ring reveals its powers to the wearer. One out of five (20%) of these rings do not operate on a conscious mental command, however. These rings simply generate their flash and sound burst for the first five melee rounds in which the wearer is involved in combat in a day. As a result, the wearer might not imediately be aware that the ring is having any effect at all, though the ring-wearer's opponents may appear to act strangely. Another 5% of these rings are cursed (and cannot be removed without a remove curse spell) to cause the flash and noise burst to affect the wearer himself and no one else. XP value: 1,000; Nil for cursed gp value: 5,000; 1,000 for cursed RING OF THE DROW: This item is made of eight strands of different unique metals entwined to form a ring. The drow found it troublesome when their magical items deteriorated upon leaving their underground homeland for long periods of time; to combat this, they created this ring. The ring of the drow is only made in the drow homelands by clerics of Lolth. Its purpose it to keep drow-made items the wearer possesses from deteriorating. To do so, the ring radiates an aura of magical energy that duplicates the radiations deep in the drow homelands. This aura only affects the wearer and the wearer's possessions. As a side effect of the ring's magical aura, a detect magic spell reveals the wearer to radiate magic strongly. In addition, a detect evil shows the wearer of one of these rings as evil, and a know alignment indicates that the wearer is chaotic evil, regardless of the wearer's true alignment. If the wearer uses a psionic power of aura alteration to try to change the aura, the wearer must save vs. spells or else change alignment to chaotic evil. If the wearer saves, or if the wearer fails to save but is already chaotic evil, the psionic power functions normally, and the ring's aura is temporarily changed. To posses one of these rings is considered an honor among the drow, because it signifies that the wearer has traveled far from the homeland, and that he or she was aided by a cleric favored by Lolth. Drow will kill any creature other thatn a drow who possesses one of these rings. XP value: 1,000 to drow; Nil to others gp value: 5,000 to drow; 1,000 to others RING OF THE EAGLE: This ring allows the wearer to shapechange at will into a giant eagle for an unlimited period of time. All of the wearer's worn or carried possessions (except live beings) are merged with the giant eagle form and will be unusable while the ring wearer is in that shape. The user may fly for up to 12 hours non-stop, but will suffer exhaustion effects thereafter, losing 1 hit point per turn until he stops and rests for 3-6 hours. XP value: 1,000 gp value: 5,000 RING OF ENERGY: This magical ring always has a gem of some sort in its setting. Upon command, a pencil-thin beam of energy can be made to shoot out from the gem toward a desired target. The beam will automatically hit any desired target located along an unobstructed line of sight fromt he ring wearer and within 60 feet of the wearer. A save vs. spell is allowable to avoid the beam and its damage, and it the intended target makes its saving throw, the beam will continue along its straight-line path and may hit an unintended target that lies within range. The power beam of the ring of energy loses potency as it travels outward. Against a target within 20 feet of the ring wearer, the beam does 4-24 (4d6) points of damage; at 21 to 30 feet it does 3-18 (3d6) points of damage; at 31 to 40, 2-12 (2d6) points; at at 41 to 60 feet, 1-6 points. The beam only affects living things; golems, undead, and creatures of similar sort are not hurt by it, but it will hit such a creature and in doing so expend its energy. The ring of energy cannot be used more than four times in one day. The energy fo the power beam is drawn from the Ethereal Plane; as such, each usage has a 3% chance (non-cumulative) of opening a passageway to that plane and causing a terithran (Fiend Folio) to arrive on the Prome Material Plane. Any such creature 'summoned' in this fashon will appear 30 feet waay from te ring wearer and will immediately move in to attack in an attempt to destroy the ring (and its possessor). XP value: 500 gp value: 6,000 RING OF FASHION: The ring of fashion, when commanded with the proper word, immediately dresses the user in any sort of clothing the character can dream of, short of true armor of any sort (all costumes are AC 10). One out of 10 all such rings allow the wearer to create heavy clothing that can be counted as padded armor (AC 8). Unfortunately, there is also a 1% chance that the ring will create a completely random set of clothing that lasts for 1-6 turns before fading. Such clothing appears in place of any other sort of clothing worn when the ring is activated. No metallic or metal studded armor can be worn by the user when the ring is activated, or else the ring will not function. Magical metallic items of small size, such as rings, bracers, or jewelry, so not affect the function of this device. However, magical and normal suites of leather or cloth armor will vanish once this ring is activated, returning only when the ring's effects are dispelled or negated. all magical girdles, boots, cloaks, and the like will likewise vanish and return later. XP value: 1,000 gp value: 3,000 RING OF FLYING TYPE I: This magical item uses charges. It may have a maximum of 50 charges. This ring will allow the user, or anyone else touched, to fly as the magic-user spell for 12+1d6 spans per charge. The movement rate is 12" horizontally, 24" downward, and 6" upwards. the user of the ring controls the movement, so an opponent touched (who fails a saving throw) will be able to be lifted into the air at the users commands, and be dropped at any time. XP value: 2,500 gp value: 30,500 RING OF FLYING TYPE II: [DUNGEON 14] This magical ring looks exaclty like any other magical ring. When worn, however, it allows the wearer and up to 600 lbs. of weight to fly at will, as per the third-level magic-user spell. The ring may be used for up to two cumulative hours of flight per day. If worn in flight past that limit, the ring ceases to function and the user immediately falls. One feather fall spell (cast at 12th level of experience) may be used from this ring per day, in addition to the powers of flight; however, the wearer should note that the feather fall spell has a duration of 12 segments, slowing the wearer so that he falls only 144' during that time. Thus, this spell should only be called upon when the wearer is about to strike the ground, or else he will fall again when the spell's duration expires. XP value: 1,000 gp value: 7,500 RING OF FIGHTER POWER: The ring of fighter power appears as a small silver ring, that is very battered. Any round when the magic-user chooses to acitvate this ring, he can fight as well as a fighter of the same level, using any weapon. The limit is ten rounds per day, but they need not all be used at once. Even if the user is under haste, etc., he cannot cast spells or use any object not usable by fighters during any round the ring is activated. XP value: 3,000 gp value: 70,000 RING OF FIRE STARTING: The beauty of this ring is obvious under even the most casual inspection. Its band is forged from a bright, silvery metal and has an intricate bas-relief of an ancient fire-tending ceremony carved into its surface. The stone is a 5000 gp diamond and glows with a faint inner light. When it is worn, a slight sensation of warmth can be felt emanating from it. If the wearer touches the stone to any combustable substance and speaks the command word, the material must save vs. magical fire or burst into flame. The material need not be entirely dry or pure, and the conditions do not have to be temperate in order for the ring to function. This ring has an unlimited number of uses. It is in itself immune to all fire- and heat-based effects, magical or otherwise. XP value: 1,000 gp value: 3,500 RING OF THE GRASSHOPPER: While wearing this ring, a character weighing up to 300 lbs can jump (as per the magic-user spell) once per turn for a number of times equal to his/her strength score. (A strength of 18, with or without an exceptional rating will allow for 18 jumps per day.) If the wearer of the ring of the grasshopperattempts to jump more often than allowed by his strength, he must save vs. paralyzation each time he lands. Failure to save indicates that (s)he suffers leg injuries, causing 10-40% damage (1d4 x 10% (if 30% is rolled and character has 35 hp then 10 (10.5 rounded down) points of damage are taken)) and reducing the victim's movement rate to 3". A character injured in this manner will find running leaping, and other strenuous activity involving the legs to be impossible for 6-36 hours afterward, unless a heal spell is applied to neutralize the ill effects. XP value: 1,000 gp value: 5,000 RING OF HEALTH: Wearing the ring of health brings many benefits. The wearer is allotted the ring's set constitution, in as far as it pertains to health, recovery of hit points, ability to consume amounts of liquor, and system shock and resurrection percentages; this does not, however, pertain to hit points conferred by a high constitution whenever a level is attained. For example, wearing the ring of health (constitution 16) would allot 96% chance of sucessful revival if the wearer is killed, while a ring of health (constitution 19) would give a +1 on saving throws vs. poison. Neither ring gives the wearer any additional hit points. The ring must be worn for at least a week before the wearer gains its benefits. No benefits are realized by placing such a ring on a dead person in a attampt to revive him. The type of ring is determined by rolling percentile dice and consulting the talbe below: d100 CON XP value gp value 01-45 15 1,000 5,000 46-90 16 2,000 6,000 91-95 17 3,000 7,000 96-99 18 4,000 8,000 00 19 5,000 9,000 RING OF INFRAVISION: This magical ring can appear as any other type of ring magical or otherwise. The ring of infravision gives infravision to anyone wearing the ring. The rang e for this infravision is 60 feet, and can be dispelled by any spell which nullifies infravision, or any light source within sight of the wearer of the ring, because the ring will only work in total (or very close to total) darkness. XP value: 250 gp value: 1,750 RING OF LANGUAGES: This ring is basically a limited version of the ring of tongues. Instead of gaining the abilities of the ring of tongues, the wearer gains a number of languages conferred by the ring while the ring is worn. The wearer not only understands these languages--he is also able to speak, read, and write the languages as if they were his native tongue. Note that once the ring is removed from the finger, the wearer loses the ability to understand the languages the ring possesses. It is possible, however, for a character whose intelligence has increased (thereby allowing the learning of one or more additional language), or for a character with the ability to learn another language, to learn a language possessed by the ring merely by wearing it. This process requires the wearer to wear the ring consecutively for one month, after which time (due to the magically accelerated ability to learn) the character understands the language entirely, without the ring's further assistance. Only one language may be so learned at a time. The number of languages possessed by a ring is determined by rolling 2d4; the languages are picked from the table listed on page 102 of the Dungeon Masters Guide or from a language table of the DM's own devising. A roll of 86-00 on this table indicates either a common tongue, an alignment language, the thieve's cant, or the druidic tongue, as determined by the following table. Duplications on this table are merely rerolled. 01-60 Human (common, foreign, or other) 61-70 Lawful* 71-80 Neutral* 81-90 Chaotic* 91-95 Thieves' cant 96-00 Druidic tongue *Ones digit: 1-3, Good; 4-7, Neutral; 8-0, Evil. XP value: 1,000 gp value: 5,000 RING OF LIGHTNING RESISTANCE: [SM] This ring functions exactly like a ring of fire resistance except that is protects the wearer from electricity. XP value: 1,000 gp value: 5,000 RING OF LIMITED TELEPATHY: These rare magic rings appear only in pairs. This ring combination allows the wearer to communicate telepathically with the wearer of the other ring only, though these are restrictions on this. These rings have a telepathic range of 2,000 miles, but function only when both rings and their wearers are on the same plane of existence. These rings are normally made and enchanted for a specific pair of users--for example, for a husband and wife, a pair of allied adventurers, or a brother and sister. Notice that in each case, one partner must be male and the other female. This function on the enchanting, which enhances sympathetic feelings between such pairs, capitalizing on gender attraction as well. Also, because the rings are enchanted for a specific pair of wearers, the chance of two persons randomly finding such rings and being able to use them is almost nil. A remote chance exists that two persons of the same gender who are very closely allied of related (e.g., twins, friends or lovers who have been together for at least 10 years, a parent and a child, etc.) can make use of these rings, but the effective range is reduced to 500 miles, and there is a 20% chance per day that the rings do not function for that day. Successful use of these rings allows each wearer a +4 saving throw agains any type of psionic attack, psionic discipline, or magical effect which affects the mind and will of the wearer. This includes all charms, dominations, possessions, suggestions, and holds as well as fear, quest, confusion, etc. The use of ESP or telepathy by another person against the wearer of such a ring will immediately reveal the use of such rings to the skrying character. However, if the saving throw against the attacks mentioned above is failed, the ring wearer's partner (who might not be present during the attack) must save vs. spells at +2 or else suffer the same spell or psionic effects. Thus, if a ring-wearer was subjected to a scare spell, the other ring-wearer must save vs. spells at +2 or else be scared as well. Use the Wisdom Spell Immunities table in Legends and Lore to determine which spells are applicable in those cases. In the event of dire need, such as when one ring-wearer is unconscious, dying, or in great pain, a strong feeling of distress is felt by the partner. By complete concentration, the partner can determine the distressed ring-wearer's location. This takes a full turn to complete. If one ring-wearer is slain, the partner must save vs. spells (with will-force bonuses) or else pass into a coma for 2-20 hours. XP value: 2,000 gp value: 10,000 RING OF MAGIC DETECTION: This magical ring, which is always made of gold, has the ability to allow the user to identify magical items as having a magical property. The dweomer detected will not be identified as of type, what the magical properties are, or how to use the item. XP value: 1,000 gp value: 15,000 RING OF MAGIC RESISTANCE: As their name describes, these rings impart magic resistance upon their wearers. These rings do not increase the natural magic resistance a wearer may have-- they do not provide a cumulative figure for magic resistance. For example, a being with a natural magic resistance of 50% wearing a ring of magic resistance, 45% does not gain a magic resistance of 95%; rather the wearer gains the higher magic resistance of the two (in this case, the innate figure of 50%). Consequently, the ring is ineffective in respect to this wearer as a result. The effective magic resistance of the ring is obtained by rolling percentile dice and checking the table below: d100 Magic Resistance 01-15 5% 16-30 10% 31-45 15% 46-60 20% 61-75 25% 76-85 30% 86-92 35% 93-97 40% 98-99 45% 00 50% XP value: 500+500 per 5% gp value: 2,000 per 5% RING OF NEUTRALIZATION: This magical ring can be employed by any character class. Its sole function is to protect the wearer from the effects of a predetermined magic-user spell. Each ring has the ability to totally negate any damage or ill effects from a given specific spell, as noted in an inscription on the ring itself. A ring of fireball neutralization, for example, allows a character to stand in the center of a fireball blast and be totally unharmed. A ring of neutralization uses a charge every time a spell's effects are nullified. A typical ring of this sort, when found, has 4-16 charges. It can only be recharged by a 12th-level magic user or higher, to a maximum of 20 charges, but this requires a prolonged and costly ritual (1 day and 1,000 gold pieces per charge). A charge is lost from the ring for each predesigned attack made on an individual wearing it. A magic missile or Melf's Minute Meteor spell forces rings matched for those spells to use a charge for each missile stopped. For example, if four magic missiles are negated by a ring of magic-missile neutralization, then four charges are used. A ring of neutralization only nullifies one type of spell. For example, if a character is wearing a ring of cone-of-cold neutralization and is the target of an ice storm spell, he takes normal damage from the attack. Spells with similar effects are nonetheless considered different for the purposes of using this spell-dedicated ring; a delayed blast fireball does normal damage if a character is wearing a ring of fireball neutralization. Similarly, a character wishing protection from lightning bolts, ball lightning, and a chain lightning spell would require three different rings. Only the person wearing the ring of neutralization is immune to that spell's effects. Anyone else caught in the area of effect takes normal damage or suffers the effects of that particular spell. XP value: 1,500 gp value: 7,500 RING OF PERMANENT X-RAY: This trapped ring of silver with gold inlay, has 1d10+1 charges. On all but the last charge, it functions as a normal ring of x-ray vision. On the last charge, it makes all the soft tissues of the user's body invisible (i.e., everything except the bones and teeth). The user still functions normally, he just looks like a skeleton. Effect is permanent. XP value: 2,500 gp value: 30,000 RING OF PHANTOM FORM: The user of this ring can disperse his body's molecules at will, so as to become totally intangible. This ring does not allow the user to become invisible, as he will appear to be translucent in form. (Rings of invisibility and phantom form cannot be used together at the same time. The spell invisibility can be successfully cast upon the user of a ring of phantom form, however). An intangible character cannot be hit by normal weapons, but is affected normally by weapons with a +1 or better magical bonus. An intangible character cannot physically attack, but may cast spells. Heat, cold, electrical, and energy attacks (ball lightning, fireball, blizzard blast, magic missile, etc.) affect an intangible character normally. The user of a ring of phantom form can move through screens, pipes, and other narrow apertures at a 12" movement rate. If a character fails a saving throw against any magical attack form which can harm him, all carried items must likewise save vs. that attack form or else be destroyed. XP value: 1,500 gp value: 7,500 RING OF PROTECTION VS. CHARMING: This is a special limited charge ring based on the 8th level spell Serten's spell immunity (+9 vs. beguiling, charm, suggestion; +7 vs. command, domination, fear, hold, scare; +5 vs. geas, quest). It operates automatically to ward its wearer, and the protection from each charge lasts a full 16 turns. It protects only the wearer, and cannot be recharge. It may have a maximum of 12 charges. XP value: 3,600 gp value: 18,000 RING OF QUICK ACTION: A ring of quick action enables a fighter, cavalier, barbarian, ranger, or paladin to gain the initiative at the start of a melee, regardless of any other factors, including the condition of the opposition. The ring can be used 2-20 times in this manner before it runs out of charges and becomes useless. Expending a charge is an automatic action requiring a mental command at the start of a melee round. XP value: 1,000 gp value: 5,000 RING OF RAPID REGENERATION: This ring acts just as does the ring of regeneration for the first two days worn. After the two days have elapsed, the character wearing the ring will regenerate one hit point per round instead of per round as the normal ring. If the ring is taken off for any period of time for any reason, the two day 'waiting' period must start over, thus a character may not discover the difference if (s)he continues to take off the ring to help heal a companion. A side effect of this ring is that the character also ages twice as fast as normal while the ring is worn (including the two day waiting period). This includes the unnatural aging effects of some creatures (such as ghosts, etc.). XP value: 5,000 gp value: 50,000 RING OF RANGE EXTENSION: This item allows any spellcaster (including rangers, paladins, and the like) to voluntarily extend the range of any spell cast, save those spells with ranges of 0" or touch. Each such ring contains 2-40 charges and cannot be recharged. Each charge used increases the range of any spell cast by the amount listed as the normal range. Thus, if one charge is used, the range is doubled; two charges triple the range, three quadruple it, and so on. A ring of range extension may be successfully used on a spell cast from scrolls or other magical devices, but cannot be used to cast a spell into a plane other than that which the user currently occupies. XP value: 2,000 gp value: 10,000 RING OF SERTEN'S SPELL IMMUNITY: [SM] Once per day, this ring can generate one Serten's spell immunity spell, duration 18 turns. The wearer can use the effect on himself, or share it with other characters as explained in the spell description (Player's Handbook 2, page 192). XP value: 8,000 gp value: 50,000 RING OF SHAPE CHANGING: This ring commonly possesses 3-30 charges when found. Each of the charges expended allows the wearer to shape change as per the ninth-level magic user spell shape-change. The wearer of this ring may change back to his original form at will, without expending a ring charge. However, there is a 2% chance per shape assumed that the wearer permanently assumes the form of the thing into which he changes. In this event, the character stuck in an unfamiliar form can only regain his former shape by having dispel magic, alter reality, limited wish or wish cast upon him. XP value: 2,500 gp value: 15,000 RING OF TELEPATHIC COMMUNICATION: These are two finely wrought rings carved from a single gemstone, rarely found near each other. These rings are attuned to each other so that their wearers can hold telepathic conversations--from any plane, any distance, etc. If the wearers share no common language, they may still communicate simple ideas and feelings. If one ring is not being worn, the wearer of the other will receive a general idea of where the empty ring is: direction, distance, etc. XP value: 3,000 gp value: 35,000 RING OF TELEPORTATION: This enchanted ring commonly has 3-30 charges when found. The ring's gem is a deep blue spinel worth 500 gp if sold as an ordinary gem. The gem is easily separated from the ring and placed anywhere to which the ring's user wishes to be transported at a later time. By expending one charge, the wearer of the ring is teleported without error to a safe location within 5' of the spinel. The gem can be retrieved and reused as long as the ring retains at least one charge. If no safe location exists near the location of the gem (say, if it is buried under 10' of earth or is inside a burning building), the ring expends four charges and nothing happens. The gem must be obtained in order for the ring to work again. XP value: 2,000 gp value: 15,000 RING OF TONGUES: The wearer of this magical ring can understand, read, write, and speak any language known by any creature within 30' of the ring, as long as the creature stays within the area of effect. Two rings of this sort within 30' of each other automatically cancel each other out. Additionally, it is possible for a character wearing this ring to learn a language (where this learning is warranted, as by an increase in intelligence or similar circumstance) from another character as expressed in the rules regarding language learning; half the normal time for this is required. (For further info, see page 34 of the Player's Handbook.) XP value: 1,000 gp value: 5,000 RING OF TRUTH TYPE II: Most often found in the form of an unadorned band of copper or silver this ring is a scourge to all forms of deception. The ring allows its wearer to detect lie automatically and also acts as a true seeing spell up to three times per day upon the wearer's mental command. The ring has certain side effects that may manifest themselves upon the wearer. Any character wearing a ring of truth type II cannot knowingly lie or participate in a deception without immediately suffering 1d4 points of damage and having his vocal cords paralyzed for 1-10 rounds, rendering the character mute for that length of time. Also, if the wearer is a spellcaster, any illusion/phantasm spells cast while the ring is worn will automatically fail. XP value: 1,500 gp value: 5,000 RING OF VAPORS: The origin of these ten unique rings is greatly disputed, but most mages agree that a powerful figure among the air elementals had a hand in its creation. The ring appears as a small circlet of misty vapors that continually shift and change; the ring, however, is solid. Any character wearing the ring gains the following abilities: At will Fly (12") Once per day Stinking cloud Once per day Obscurement Thrice per week Wind walk Thrice per week Wind wall Twice per week Aerial servant Once per week Cloudkill Once per month Summon aid from Elemental Plane of Air* *Wearer's alignment good--djinni; wearer's alignment neutral--8HD air elemental; and wearer's alignment evil--mihstu. All spell effects are at 16th level of ability. Summoned monsters will remain with the summoner for only 4-16 rounds, after which they will depart. Summoned monsters will not attack the monster unless attacked first, and they act in a friendly and helpful manner during the time they are present. The wearer also receives a penalty on saving throws verses fire, agains which he saves at -2, and takes +1 damage per die. It is possible that the maker of these few rings is still hunting for them. XP value: 4,000 gp value: 35,000 This is the LOOONG magic Item list, section 3 of 9. RODS, STAVES, WANDS BATON DES FRERES MARQUES: [S5] This wood staff (length varies), is usually found marked with signs of chopping and sawing. The staff will always grow or shrink (in 1d3 rounds) to exactly twice the height of the person holding it. If the ends are cut off or if the staff is broken, the largest portion of the staff will regenerate fully. One end of the staff detects traps by swinging to point at the trap (range 10'). XP value: 1,750 gp value: 8,000 CATSTAFF: [S2] This item is a black, 7-foot-long staff of stout wood topped with a sculpted knob resembling a cat's head. When carried on or strapped to one's person, it imparts abilities related to silent movement and concealment. The holder/bearer of a catstaff is able to climb walls (if both hands are free) and move silently as a 9th level thief, hide in shadows with a 94% chance of success, see with ultravision to a 60' range, and cast shadow six times per day. This shadow is a 1" radius globe of semi-darkness centered on the staff; This gloom does not block infravision or ultravision, and is negated by a light source within its confines. It can be dispelled by magical (but not normal) light which touches its periphery, and unless dispelled or canceled by the desire of the staff holder it remains in effect for 2-4 turns. The shadow does not allow normal vision into or through its area of effect, and as such serves as a defense against visual attacks (gaze weapons, hypnotic and dazzling effects, and the like). The catstaff is a magical weapon and can be used in combat as a normal quarterstaff would be; however, it has no bonuses to hit or damage. It can be employed as a weapon while any or all of its magical properties are being utilized. The staff never makes any noise itself while tapping, scraping, striking, or otherwise contacting any solid object. Many such staves contain secret compartments for the carrying of small items such as thieve's tools, spell components, magical tokens, and the like. If it is broken in two, all of its magical properties are lost. XP value: 6,000 gp value: 13,000 DEMON STAFF: [SH] This is a black leather-like staff, very strong, and carved with disgusting scenes and vile runes. It allows the wielder to cause fear in whomever it touches--no saving throw, inflict 4-24 hit points of damage which can only be healed by the passage on 1 full day of time per hit point upon any creatures it touches. It may also be used to call forth a Type I demon and/or turn the holder into a Type III demon for five rounds. Each of these functions operates but once per day. XP value: 8,000 gp value: 35,000 NIDUS' WAND OF ENDLESS REPETITION: [SO] Named for the legendary mage who by its use gave us the oath "Nidus' Curse!", examples of this device typically have only 4d12 charges when found. The art of its fabrication is lost and has not yer been rediscovered. Upon command, this wand emits a grey cone of light, range 4", diameter at maximum range: 1.5". This cone may be continually maintained at a cost of 1 charge per round. Creatures caught in its light are allowed a saving throw. Anyone affected by the wand is forced to endlessly repeat actions taken during the preceding 2 rounds (or at least mimic them, as in the case of a spellcaster, who woould continuously try to cast a particular spell even after his components and magic are exhausted). This automaton-style cycle of 2 rounds of action, 2 rounds of the same actions in reverse to the starting position once again, and so on continues until a dispel magic, remove curse, or a limited (or full) wish is cast upon the victim. Even if the victim should die from lack of food and water, or of damage inflicted by passing creatures, the corpse endlessly repeats the cycle of action until it falls apart. XP value: 3,500 gp value: 25,000 ROD OF MANY THINGS: [S1] This magical wand of silver may be commanded to turn into any 15 of the items listed on the chart below, and will stay that way until commanded to become a rod again. To change into something the owner must give a mental command naming the object desired, or the mental command 'do something'. If the rod is ordered into something which it cannot become, then the user must make a save vs. spell or suffer 2-12 points of electrical damage. For the rod to go from one shape to another, the object must first be commanded into rod form and then into the other shape. Since the rod is made of silver, any creature vulnerable to silver weapons may be damaged by the rod in weapon form. Although the rod has no + to hit or damage it may also be used to attack creature hit only by +1 weapons or better. Possible objects: Dice roll Item formed Dice roll Item formed 01-04 Axe, hand 51 Jo stick 05-06 Broom 52-53 Lance, light 07 Bo stick 54-57 Mace, footman's 08-09 Cable, 50' 58 Needle 10 Candlestick 59-61 Oar 11 Club 62 Pick, footman's 12-13 Crowbar 63-65 Poker, fireplace 14-16 Dagger 66-67 Pole, 10' 17-19 Dart 68-69 Scimitar 20-21 Flail, footman's 70-71 Spade 22-24 Fork, dinner 72-75 Spear 25-27 Fork, hay 76-78 Staff, quarter 28-30 Fork, military 79-80 Sword, bastard 31-32 Guisarme 81-83 Sword, broad 33-36 Halberd 84-89 Sword, long 37-41 Hammer 90-93 Sword, short 42-46 Hoe 94-95 Sword, 2-handed 47-48 Hoof pick 96-98 Trident 49-50 Javelin 99-00 Toothpick XP value: 7,500 gp value: 25,000 ROD OF MELTING: [S2] This item is usable by a member of any character class, is the bane of all magical swords, particularly those with innate intelligence. It destroys magical swords through heat, which an intelligent sword will perceive as pain. If used to destroy a sword when not in combat, the user simply touches the rod to the sword and gives the command words to activate it. If the sword fails a saving throw vs. disintegration (as hard metal), the sword grows rapidly hotter until it melts into white hot slag within a single round. Anyone touching the hot slag or holding the sword as it melts takes 4-16 hp damage (save vs. wands for half damage). In combat, the wielder of the rod must concentrate on striking the opponents sword, which is considered to have a base AC 0 (with bonuses for magical protective devices applicable, such as from a ring of protection, but not from bracers of defense). Any misses against the sword will not strike the sword's wielder. If a sword is struck while in combat, it gains a +2 bonus to its saving throw due to the circumstances of combat. If the save fails, however, the sword quickly accumulated dangerous thermal energy, and the wielder will take damage noted above and drop the weapon. The sword will often spray the 5' area around it with sparks and lights as it melts, though this display is not dangerous. A sword with speech capability will emit a death shriek that will deafen all within 30' of it for 1-6 turns, if the affected creatures fail to save vs. wands. There is a 5% chance per ego point a sword possesses that it will explode when it fails to save against the rod of melting. Such a blast will cause 1 hp damage per ego point the sword possessed to all beings within 30' of it. If this occurs, the rod must save vs. disintegration (as hard metal), or it, too, will be destroyed by backfiring thermal energy, forcing its wielder to take damage and drop it as well. A rod of melting has at most 50 charges, and cannot be recharged. Each time it forces a sword to save against its melting power, whether the sword is destroyed or not, a charge is used for every point of ego that the sword possesses (or for the total to hit bonus the sword possesses at its greatest effect, if it is not intelligent). The rod will not affect non-magical swords or any other magical or non-magical weapons or items. If used against a living creature, it may be treated as a jo stick for damage. It has no effect at all against iron golems. XP value: 3,000 gp value: 12,000 SPECTRE WAND: [SN] This wand only operates in the hands of a necromancer (or death master). It fires a jet black ray to a range of 180 feet. A hit by the ray is determined as if the intended victim had been attacked by a 6 HD monster vs. the target's frontal armor class (assuming the target is facing the weilder of the wand). If theis roll to hit is not made, there is no effect. If the ray does hit, the target takes 1-8 points of damage (no saving throw), and that many points are drained permanently from the figure's hit-point total. The wand takes 1 segment to fire, and can have from 1 to 50 charged when found, and cannot be recharged. The victim can only regain lost hit points in only one of three ways: limited wish (2-8 points), restoration (2-12 points), wish (3-18 points). Once the victim gains a new level of experience, lost hit points that have not yet been regained are forever lost. XP value: 2,500 gp value: 10,500 STAFF OF ADJUSTMENT: [S5] This staff is of dark polished wood. It will always be just the right size for the cleric holding it. In the hands of a good cleric it heals 1d6 per round or touch which ever is latest to anyone (but the cleric) who touches it. In the hands of an evil cleric it does 1d6 points of damage. In the hands of a neutral (lawful, true, or chaotic) is glows bright green--and so does the cleric, for 1d6 hours. It uses charges, and can be recharged. XP value: 1,500 gp value: 8,000 STAFF OF THE COUATL: [S9] The Staff of the Couatl is a device much appreciated and used by good clerics, particularly those who worship the few good aligned deities of the Central American mythos. The lawful neutral clerics of Quetzalcouatl, however, may use staves of this sort normally. A Staff of the Couatl is about 7' long, with the top 3' of the staff fashioned in the shape of a winged couatl. Such staves are usually made from precious materials such as ivory over a silver core, and are magically strengthend so they can be used in combat (as quarterstaves). This powerful staff has the following abilities: 1. It can be used to summon one couatl per month to serve the needs of the cleric possessing the staff. The couatl will have randomly determined hit points and psionic abilities. It will fight on behalf of the summoning cleric until the opponent is vanquished or escapes, or until the user of the staff commands the attack to cease. If the couatl is summoned to fight against insurmountable odds, or if the combat does not seem to be favoring the side of the couatl and the cleric, the couatl will wrap its tail around the cleric and transport both of them to a place of safety elsewhere on the Prime Material Plane (by traveling through the Ethereal Plane). This destination is not under the control of the cleric. In any event, the couatl will vanish back to the Ethereal Plane 5-8 turns after being summoned, or sooner if the cleric commands it. This power may only be used by lawful good clerics or clerics who worship Quetzalcoatl. 2. So long as the staff is carried, the cleric gains a +2 bonus to his saving throw vs. magical effects in general, and a +4 bonus to his save vs. all poisons. These bonuses are cumulative with those offered by other devices, as per a ring of protection. 3. The staff may be used to effect the casting of certain spells: detect evil and snake charm each three times per day; neutralize poison and sticks to snakes each once per day; and wind walk once per week. All spell effects are at the 8th level of ability. 4. The staff is +1 to hit and damage when used in combat. A non-good, neutral-aligned cleric (lawful neutral, chaotic neutral, or neutral evil) who grasps the staff will not be harmed, but cannot use any of its powers (except for clerics of Quetzalcoatl, as noted for power #1). An evil cleric who picks it up will take 2-5 points of damage each round the staff is held. If a cleric of Tezcatlipoca, Quetzalcoatl's chief rival, is struck by or picks up this staff, all damage received is doubled, and that cleric must save vs. poison each round the staff is grasped or be slain. XP value: 7,500 gp value: 20,000 STAFF OF ETHEREAL ACTION: [SO] Also known as the blink staff, this item appears to be a nromal wooden staff, but when a command word is spoken, it allows the holder to blink, as in the spell, for a cumulative period of up to 2 turns per day. In battle the blinking stops (and begins again) in one segment upon the holder's command. The staff is a +1 weapon, and is able to strike cretures on the ethereal plane (such as couatl, ghosts, phase spiders, and characters using armor or oil of etherealness), as well as those on the Prime Material. This staff neither has nor uses charges. XP value: 7,000 gp value: 15,000 STAFF OF SKULLS: [SO] This staff, usable by all classes, can animate skeletal remains. Each such operation, triggered by the word "Arise!", drains 1 charge. Animated skeletons are under the command of the wielder of the staff (cf. animate dead spell). If the staff should change hands, control of the skeletons goes with it. Skeletons need not be complete, but the skulls must be present, and skeletons lacking parts of course have their actions and/or their mobility impaired. Such animation is permanent, lasting until the magic is dispelled or the skeletons destroyed. Twenty-five percent of these staves have a secondary function: mending broken bones of both living and dead creatures. This takes one charge, and in a round will reattach a severed limb or digit, although it does not restore lost hp due to the wounds (or can restore hp, DMO). Limbs or bones not belonging to the recipient may be used; thus a heap of bones can serve as "spare parts" for a guard of skeletons. Typically, these staves are of ebony topped with an ivory skull, or constructed of a smooth-polished skull and a thighbone of giant size. XP value: 900 gp value: 15,000(25% 25,000) STAFF OF SPELL FOCUSING: [S1] This staff aids in the casting of a magic-user's or illusionist's spells, and makes the magic more effective if the spell is cast successfully. It must be held in the caster's left hand (or right if left-handed) throughout the casting of the spell, whether or not the magic requires a somatic component. (Any gestures requiring movement of the left hand are automatically modified by the staff if necessary.) When properly employed, the staff of spell focusing causes the target(s) of a spell to suffer a -4 penalty on the saving throw against the magic, if a saving throw is normally allowed. If the spell does not allow a saving throw, the duration of its effect is increased by 50% of the normal time. This effect does not apply to spells with a nonspecific duration or to those that have a permanent duration. Each use of the staff, for either purpose, expends one charge from the item. It can be recharged. If the holder of the staff tries to enhance a spell that cannot be affected (such as hallucinatory terrain, which allows no saving throw and has a non-specific duration), the staff simply fails to function and a charge is not wasted. The staff of spell focusing can only be used in this manner by a magic-user or illusionist. It can be wielded as a weapon by characters able to employ a quarterstaff, but grants no combat bonuses and has no magical properties. XP value: 6,000 gp value: 25,000 WAND OF ARMORY: [S7] When touched to a target creature (or activated upon the wielder's person), this wand causes the recipient to be enveloped from head to foot, and on all sides, by an invisible field, magical field of force which slows and deflects physical attacks so as to afford the equivalent of armor class 0 protection. This field of force can be destroyed by dispel magic, limited wish, disintegrate (which will not affect the protected person, however) or similar magic, but otherwise lasts for 6 rounds. During this time it absorbs magic missiles and all electrical attacks (including magical ones) so that they do no harm to the wearer--or to anything else coming into coming with the field--but otherwise do not affect spells cast into, or out of, its confines. The 'force armor' may be cast over and in addition to real, physical armor worn by a target, and will completely cover any M or S size creature (who need not be conscious, alive, or even willing to be so protected; no saving throw allowed). Size L creatures will have only their heads and torsos protected by the fields of force. All classes may use this wand, which may not be recharged. Each use of the wand (only one use per round is possible) drains one charge. XP value: 2,000 gp value: 7,000 WAND OF BACKFIRING: [S5] These wands resemble the normal wand and are tapered toward one end. It is often difficult to determine the function of a found wand--except by trying it. These wands function as normal wands EXCEPT that the discharge is from the thick end rather than from the thin end. This is often hazardous to the unwary user. The more common models of these wands are constructed in such a way that anyone grasping the wand will know its basic function--but not which end it fires from. It is believed that these wands were originally conceived by an inept mage but later copied by intent. All standard saves apply in addition to the special dexterity saves given below. The most common varieties are: 1) WAND OF MAGIC MISSILES--This wand will fire three magic missiles per charge expended. 2) WAND OF LIGHTNING BOLTS--Fires one lightning bolt per charge expended. (Mis)User must save on dex -10; if he saves, anyone behind him must save on dexterity normally. 3) WAND OF FIREBALLS--Fires one fireball per charge. (Mis)User must save on dex -10; if he saves, anyone behind him must save on dexterity with no minuses. 4) WAND OF COLD--Fires a cone of cold and the user has no dexterity save; anyone behind him must save on dex at -10. 5) WAND OF PARALYZATION--Fires a beam that will paralyze the user (no dex save) as the wand of paralyzation. For anyone standing behind, save on dex -10. 6) WAND OF POLYMORPH--Only a save vs. polymorph is allowed. If it is failed, the (mis)user is polymorphed into what he wished the opponent to become. XP value: wand norm +300(for finding fault) gp value: as wand of type WAND OF FOG: [SF] When activated, this wand creates 1,000 cubic feet of fog per round for 7-12 rounds, as per the first-level illusionist spell wall of fog. Such usage drains the wand of one charge. The initial 10' x 10' x 10' cube can be centered on any area within his range of vision. On subsequent rounds, additional cubes of fog can be created in adjacent 10' x 10' x 10' areas as willed by the wand user. Each fog cube persists for one turn after its creation. The wand is usable by all classes and may be recharged by an illusionist of 12th level or higher level. It can hold up to 100 charges. XP value: 1,750 gp value: 8,000 WAND OF HOMING FIREBALLS: [S5] This wand is most often red and decorated with flaming arrows and shoots and ordinary fireball, except that detonation is delayed 2d4 rounds and it will home on whatever target the user names. Range 60', move 8. If the fireball cannot find a target that fits the name the user gave (and it can be very pedantic), it returns to the user for further instructions. . .but still explodes at the end of the 2d4 rounds, wherever it is. . .cannot be deactivated. . . XP value: 3,000 gp value: 19,000 WAND OF MAGICAL MIRRORS: [S7] Activation of this wand creates an opaque, silvery, and reflective circular shield of force. This shield appears wherever the wand is pointing, 1" distant from the wielder of the wand, facing outward. Its surface will reflect images (including the gaze of the catoblepas and basilisk) like a mirror; the wand wielder can look through the mirror as though it was a window without suffering any harm from such attacks--and when viewed through the shield, things appear as they truly are: illusions are invisible; creatures or items disguised by magic, mutable form, or invisibility (e.g., dopplegangers, shapechanged individuals, leprechans, demodands, and devils) are revealed in true aspect; and so forth. The mirror-shield lasts for 3-8 rounds (at random) and moves as the wielder moves the point of the wand. Each wand can only have one shield created from it in existence at a time (the first shield will instantly vanish if a second is created). The caster need not concentrate on the shield to maintain its existence, and can even put the wand down or pass the wand to another (who thereby assumes the control of the mirror) to engage in spell casting or other activities. The shield has no tangible physical existence; it can neither ward off attacks or be used as a weapon. Creatures pass through it as though it does not exist. It will, however, reflect color spray spells back at the caster, and harmlessly dispel darkness and prismatic spheres, sprays, or walls upon contact. A dispel magic, limited wish, wish, or alter reality will destroy such a shield; it cannot otherwise be affected. Each creation of such a shield drains one charge from the wand, and such wands are not rechargeable. Magic-users, illusionists, clerics, and druids may use this wand. XP value: 1,000 gp value: 4,000 WAND OF OPENING: This wand is usually thin and made of wood. When this is struck against a lock, bound, tied, etc. object, it will cause the object to be opened, untied, or otherwise unbound. This effect is similar to the knock spell. XP value: 750 gp value: 1,550 WAND OF TEETH: [S7] This wand is not rechargeable; it calls forth a certain number of 'teeth,' one per charge, firing not more than one tooth per round, at targets up to 7" distant. The missiles it fires are daggerlike wedges or blades of force that coalesce out of nothingness (actually from material and kinetic energy drawn from the Positive Material Plane) within 1 segment of activation, and in the next segment flash arrow-straight from the tip of the wand to the extent of the wand's range, passing through everything in their paths except spheres of annihilation, prismatic shperes, shield spells, and walls or cubes of force, all of which swallow or absorb them. A forcecage spell, or an existing armor (as in the 1st-levl magic-user spell, or that caused by a wand of armory) will deflect a tooth. A strike by a tooth does 4-14 (2 + 2d6) points of damage (save vs. spell will reduce damage by half), and strikes (as though a hand weapon directly wielded by the wand bearer) at +2 to hit. Solid rock will deflect a tooth; any other material will be struck and damaged by it, although magic items cause any plus they possess to be subtracted from the tooth's to hit roll. Wind wall and gust of wind spells, and similar air disturbances (such as those caused by wind walkers and air elementals) have no effect on the flight of he tooth. All classes can employ this wand. XP value: 1,500 gp value: 5,000 WAND OF TEMPORAL STATUS: This wand allows the wielder to place any one creature in suspended animation, until a dispel magic spell or the reverse (temporal reinstatement) is cast. The effect is the same as the 9th level magic user's spell. The command word are invisibly graven into the side of the wands which remain invisible until a detect magic is used on the wand. The wand can only put one creature at a time into the magical state. That is to say, once a bugbear has been magically frozen in time,, the wand cannot put another creature into that state until the bugbear has been released. One end of the wand (usually the thinner end) casts the spell, the other end (thick end) uncasts it. One charge is used for each casting, and uncasting is free if the status was cast by the wand, other wise uncasting costs one charge. XP value: 3,000 gp value: 10,000 WAND OF THE UNDEAD: [SJ] This wand resembles the wand of Orcus, but it is smaller. The wand of the undead acts as an unholy symbol, but any undead pressed into service will serve for 1-6 months rather than 1-6 weeks at a time. XP value: 5,000 gp value: 40,000 WAND OF VISCID GLOBS: [SH] This item is a metallic baton which upon expending a charge will shoot one blob that covers an area of 4 feet with a gummy substance which adheres various things together--hands to items held, arms to shields, members to bodies. That is, whatever is covered by it will stick permanently to any other such object. It is cut by alcohol, however. The wand has a range of 6". The bond of the blob is stronger than the substances bonded, and very strong creatures can tear themselves apart trying to get free is enough is exerted. A saving throw applied (but blobs that miss must hit somewhere!). XP value: 9,000 gp value: 50,000 WANDS OF WHIPS: This wand shoots forth a whip-shaped field of white, shimmering magical force to a maximum (horizontal and vertical) range of 7". The wielder of the wand, as he activates the wand, names, looks at, or concentrates upon a specific target creature or automaton (i.e., golem, undead, homonculous or the like), and the whip attacks this creature and this creature only. The whip remains in existance for 4 rounds; if the target is beyond 7" from the wand when it is cast, the whip will flash instantly (in 1 segment) to the limit of its range, at the point closest to the target, and hang motionless, waiting; it will attack only if the target enters its range. Otherwise, the whip strikes once per round, as Quaal's feather token does: at +1 to hit and on damage, doing 2-7 points of damage per strike, and binding fast an opponent if a save vs. spell is not made after each successful strike. Once a whip has bound an opponent, the wand wielder cannot release it to strike again. The whip cannot change targets. A whip may follow an opponent that it has successfully struck at least once beyond 7", moving with the target, even if the target teleports, plane shift, blinks, enters a rock or plant, etc. The whip can hit invisible and ethereal (but not astral) creatures without penalty. The wand of whips may be recharged. Any class may wield it. XP value: 1,500 gp value: 4,000 ---------------------------------------------------------------------CUT--- This is the LOOONG magic Item list, section 4 of 9. MISCELLANEOUS MAGIC ALCHEMICAL ITEMS: [S8] Any type may be found. See The Compleat Alchemist. BLADE VENOMS XP value: 300 gp value: 1,500+(1d20*10) COMPOUNDS XP value: 150 gp value: 300+(1d10*10) DUSTS XP value: 300 gp value: 500+(5d6*10) GASSES XP value: 300 gp value: 600+(5d6*10) POWDERS XP value: 125 gp value: 200+(1d10*10) TALISMANS XP value: 500 gp value: 6,000 AMULET OF CHARMING: [SM] Anyone viewing the amulet is favorably disposed to the wearer (saving throw vs. spells negates the effect). Furthermore, the wearer's charisma (and comeliness if used) are raised three points. XP value: 5,000 gp value: 20,000 AMULET OF E'NEZBIT: [S5] This trap is a 1" crystal jar on a gold chain to be worn as an amulet and gives off continual light. This is a jar of endless honey. When the crystal stopper is removed and inverted, it will drip excellent honey at the rate of 1d8 quarts per hour (approximately 1d4 oz. per minute). When worn as an amulet it cured the wearer's worst fault (party must vote on which fault is worst)--sending him to such excess in the opposite direction that all will want him back as he was. (i.e., a drunkard becomes a prohibitionist, etc.) The only way to remove the amulet is for all who voted on the worst fault to lift it at once--or by a wish or a remove blessing cast by someone twice the level of the wearer. XP value: Nil gp value: 10,000 AMULET OF FINDING: This item appears to be much like other magical amulets. Anyone who wears one of these may see through the eyes of the wearer of the amulet's twin. Each amulet has one mate or twin and is attuned only to that other one. If an amulet's twin is not being worn by another, then when the wearer searches for the other end they will find nothing. If an amulet is tied in a small sack while worn around someone's neck, the wearer of the amulet's twin will see only blackness when the other end is sought after. If one of a pair of amulets is destroyed then the mate amulet becomes non-magical. XP value: 400 gp value: 950 AMULET OF POWER WORD-PAIN: All creatures within 20 feet of the user must save vs. Rods when the word is intoned, or else suffer wracking pains for 2-8 rounds, causing them to fight at -4 to hit, and making their AC worse by 1 type. The power word can only be used once per day and and the amulet must be held in the hand for the power word to work. XP value: 5,000 gp value: 11,000 AMULET OF PROTECTION FROM SLEEP: [S1] When worn on a chain or cord around one's neck, this object prevents its wearer from falling into any sort of sleep, whether normal or induced magically. The wearer is always alert under its influence, and cannot be affected by a sleep spell, potions or poisons that cause sleep, the sleep gaze of a jacklewere, or any other item or procedure that causes sleep or drowsiness. The amulet of protection from sleep can be worn as long as desired. But, after three days of continuous use, the wearer will begin to have mild and infrequent hallucinations. This effect increases in intensity and frequency on each day thereafter until after seven straight days of sleeplessness, the user will contract a form of insanity, as determined by a roll of 1d6: 1 = dementia praecox, 2 = delusional insanity, 3 = schizophrenia, 4 = paranoia, 5 or 6 = hallucinatory insanity. (DMG pp.83-84). The hallucinations will stop immediately if the amulet is taken off before seven straight days of use, but if the wearer is stricken by insanity, this condition will persist until removed by a heal, restoration, or wish spell, or similar magic. If the amulet is worn for ten consecutive days, the wearer will die as soon as the tenth day has passes. No magical cures will offset this effect, and the character can only be brought back to life by a raise dead, resurrection, or wish spell. The amulet does not provide a substitute for sleep, it merely postpones the need for it. A character who goes without sleep by using the amulet will eventually have to make up for this deficiency. In making up lost sleep, a character need not always sleep for one hour for every hour he has missed; instead, only one half-hour of 'makeup sleep' is required for each hour missed. This advantage does not apply when the deficit is a full night's sleep (8 hours) or less; in such a case, the lost sleep must be made up on an hour-for-hour basis. If the wearer has lost 16 hours of sleep or less when the amulet is removed, he will be able to remain awake on his own for up to one hour thereafter, as long as he is engaging in daily strenous physical activity. The amulet may be worn by a member of any class, and will function continuously and indefinitely without needing to be recharged. XP value: 500 gp value: 2,000 AMULET OF PSIONIC REFLECTION: The ancient githyanki-mind flayer wars have spawned a number of interesting psionic-related magical items and weapons. Among them is the githyanki amulet of psionic reflection, a small, ornate device that is pinned to a headband and placed so that it centers on the user's forehead. The wearer is protected from all psionic blast attacks made upon him; this protection does not extend to anyone else. In addition, if a psionic blast is cast upon the person wearing this amulet, the amulet itself will generate another psionic blast in the direction of the attacker, at one-half the strength of the original psionic blast (round fractions down). If the wearer is psionic, he cannot fire his own psionic blasts without attacking himself at the same time he attacks everyone else. This device is generally used by githyanki scouts who operate alone on missions into mind flayer lairs. Wearing such an amulet is considered a great honor, and githyanki will go to great lengths to recover lost amulets from their new owners. Mind flayers will be equally enrages to see such an amulet if they recognize it as such. Only humans, demi-humans, semi-humans, githyanki, and githerazi may use this device; non-psionic characters are neither helped nor harmed by it. XP value: 2,500 gp value: 10,000 ANKLET OF GROWTH: [S3] This anklet appears and functions as an anklet of levitation in all respects. However, it also causes the wearer's leg to grow at the rate of 1 inch per turn (or part of a turn) for as long as it is worn. The victim's Dexterity score drops by 2 points per foot (two hours) of growth; if two anklets are worn, both legs grow evenly, and Dexterity drops by only 1 point per foot of growth. The anklet(s) may be removed in normal ways. The magical growth and loss of Dexterity can be negated only by a remove curse or a wish. Although either remedy instantly restores the victim to normal size and Dexterity, the anklets, wherever they are, disintegrate. XP value: Nil gp value: 350 ANKLET OF HOBBLING: [S3] When locked on an ankle, this item causes the victim to move at two-thirds normal rate. If two are used, only one-third normal rate is possible. XP value: Nil gp value: 350 ANKLET OF LEVITATION: [S3] When locked and commanded to rise, this item does so. It stops and goes upon command of the person who locked it. If one anklet is used, the wearer is hoisted by one leg, in a most inconvenient posture; if two are used; normal levitation is obtained. It may be controlled within a range of 60 feet, but the effect is otherwise identical to the magic-user's spell levitate, bestowing vertical movement at the rate of 20 feet per round. The victim cannot be dropped unless the anklet is suddenly unlocked or destroyed. XP value: 500 gp value: 1,000 ANKLET OF SINKING: [S3] This anklet appears and functions as an anklet of walking (q.v.) in all respects. However, when used to walk on acid, or on water 30 or more feet deep, the anklet stops functioning at some inconvenient point, suddenly becoming as heavy as a 1,000 gp weight (per anklet). When this malfuction occurs, the anklet also negates all other water walking spells and effects. The wearer thus sinks like a stone until the anklet is removed, although feather fall and other spell effects may show the victim for a time. XP value: Nil gp value: 350 ANKLET OF WALKING: [S3] When locked, this anklet enables the wearer to walk upon any fluid--water, oil, acid, etc.--without actually touching it. The feet or boots hover a fraction of an inch above the fluid. One anklet can support 2,000 gp weight; two will support 5,000 gp. XP value: 1,000 gp value: 5,000 ARMBAND OF DEATH: [S3] This armband appears identical to an armband of healing, but when locked on the arm, the snakes on its insignia animate and bite the wearer. Both hit each round, with no hit roll required. Each inflicts 1 point of damage per bite and requires a saving throw vs. poison per bite; failure results in death from the poison. After the snakes are animated, the armband will not unlock until destroyed. XP value: Nil gp value: 500 ARMBAND OF HEALING: [S3] This item bears the insignia of a caduceus--two snakes entwined about a staff. When locked on the arm of a cleric, it causes any three curing spells cast by that cleric to cure the maximum possible damage: 8 points for a cure light wounds, 17 for a cure serious wounds, etc. Only three spells per day are affected. XP value: 2,000 gp value: 6,000 ARMBAND OF MUSIC: [S3] This item appears and functions in all respects as either an armband of healing or an armband of strength. However, each time it is activated, the armband emits the sound of a brass band (with drums). The band plays a rousing march for one turn. These concerts don't overlap if the armband is used while the music is playing; if the armband is activated three times in three successive rounds, the music lasts for three turns. The armband cannot be unlocked while producing music. The noise can be heard clearly within a 60-foot range, regardless of intervening walls, doors, etc., and may attract the attention of monsters within that area. Note that silence 15' spell only dampens the effect slightly, reducing it to 30-foot range. XP value: Nil gp value: 500 ARMBAND OF SALUTATION: [S3] This armband bears the symbol of a fleu-de-lis (a three-petaled flowering plant). When locked on the arm, it causes the wearer to salute his opponent (by bending his arm and raising his hand to the eye-brow) before engaging in hand-to-hand combat. It has no effect on missile fire combat. The victim must hold the salute for one round. The opponent may attack during that round, gaining a +2 bonus on its hit rolls. There is, however, a 50% chance that the opponent is so surprised it will fail to attack that round. The wearer is never forced to salute any one opponent more than once in any given melee. Once the first salute has been given the armband will not unlock unless a remove curse or more powerful magic is used. XP value: Nil gp value: 500 ARMBAND OF STRENGTH: [S3] This band bears the symbol of a lion. When locked on the arm, it may be commanded to raise the wearer's Strength scores to 18/00 for one turn. It functions three times per day. XP value: 500 gp value: 2,000 ARMBAND OF VARIABLE STRENGTH: [S3] This appears identical to an armband of Strength but, when commanded to function, it instead drops the wearer's Strength score to 3. The Strength scores thereafter rises by 1 per turn, until 18 is reached, and drops again to 3 on the following turn. The victim's original Strength returns only when a remove curse spell is applied. XP value: 250 gp value: 1,000 AWL OF HOLE PUNCHING: [S3] This awl can be used to create a hole large enough to see through (1/2 inch across and up to 5 feet deep) in any non-living material, including magic-user wall spells, solid steel, etc. It does not affect creatures of any kind and if used on a magical weapon will not change or destroy the enchantments upon it. The awl of hole punching may be used as often as desired. XP value: 500 gp value: 5,000 BACKPACK OF CONVENIENCE: [S5] This very well-made backpack will adjust its size to fit the wearer. It has been enchanted so that whatever the wearer is thinking about will be readibly available at the top. Each time the wearer reaches in, there is a 10% chance that the wrong item is brought up: 1) clothing, 2) food, 3) weapon, 4) misc. XP value: 500 gp value: 5,000 BALANCE OF CONVERSION: [S3] A weighing device, the balance of conversion will, on command, convert any coins placed on its left-hand tray into a gem of equivalent value, which then appears on its right-hand tray as the coins disappear. It can hold up to 1,000 coins at once, if they are in sacks. If a second command word is used, the balance operates in reverse, converting any gem on its right-hand tray into any named type of coins on the left-hand tray; the coin do not appear in a container and will spill. This item will function as often as desired. XP value: 950 gp value: 2,600 BARDING OF DECEPTIVE TRAVEL: [S3] This item is identical to barding of easy travel, and indeed may be used as such indefinitely. However, if the proper command word is discovered and spoken, the steed turns into a monster. Roll 1d6 to determine the form of the monster: 1 bear, cave 2 lizard, minotaur 3 rust monster 4 basilisk 5 manticore 6 scorpion, giant the monster understands, obeys, and even fights for the user. Note that the gaze of the basalisk form is still dangerous, even to the user, and that the rust monster may require very quick and detailed instructions if accidents are to be avoided. XP value: 5,000 gp value: 25,000 BARDING OF EASY TRAVEL: [S3] This is a 2-inch-long set of barding for horses. When the user places it on the ground or floor and speaks the proper command word, it enlarges to full size and magically creates a warhorse within it; hit points are determined randomly for each use. This can be done once per day at most. The animal disappears on command, when slain, or if the barding is removed. When the animal disappears, the barding returns to its original (empty) miniature state. XP value: 3,000 gp value: 18,000 BASE BALL: [S3] When set upon the ground as a command word is spoken, this ball attunes itself to that 'base.' Thereafter, if the creature carrying the ball speaks a second command word, the ball teleports itself and the user, along with all equipment carried, to the base location. No other creatures can be carried or otherwise transported in this way. Standard chances of error apply, and the base is treated as generally known. The base ball will function once per week at most. XP value: 800 gp value: 2,500 BEAD OF ACCURACY: [S3] This bead may be thrown at, and automatically hits, any victim within 60 feet; the victim must make a saving throw vs. spells. If the saving throw is successful, the bead falls off but does not break and can be recovered unless broken afterward. Otherwise, it sticks to the victim and turns into a small target ring of concentric circles. The effect lasts for one hour and cannot be removed except by soap of washing or wish. If generally aimed at the side on which the target appears, all weapon attacks gain a +2 bonus to hit the targeted victim. For example, a thief's backstab attempt would not gain this bonus unless the bead were thrown at the victim's back (that is if the thief makes the backstab at the back, invisible thieves could attack the side and get the benefit). XP value: 700 gp value: 1,250 BEAD OF DEW: [S3] When placed in any spoiled, poisoned, or stagnant water, this bead purifies it, affecting up to 1,000 cubic feet of liquid. The purified water is clear and cool. The bead disolves when used. XP value: 800 gp value: 1,400 BEADY EYE: [S3] Upon command, this bead becomes a small eyeball. The user may see with the eye as long as it remains within 60 feet. If it is rolled, the user must make a saving throw vs. spells or be dizzy, confused, then completely stunned until the bead is destroyed. If crushed while in use (by someone being spied upon, for example), the user must make a saving throw vs. spells or be blinded (curable in the usual ways). Although the user may have any number of extra eyes through the use of these beads, the eyes cannot be closed, and the user cannot avoid looking through them. If any monster with a gaze attacks looks at the eye in use, the user must make the appropriate saving throw (possibly each round), and may not look away. Upon command, the eye turns into a bead again. XP value: 1,000 gp value: 2,750 BELLOWS OF BREATH: [S3] When pumped while the command word is spoken, the bellows of breath produces a greenish poison gas in a 25 x 20-foot cloud, 10 feet high. The gas inflicts 20 points of damage, but each victim may make a saving throw vs. breath weapon to take one-half damage. This bellows produces its cloud only once per day. XP value: 1,500 gp value: 6,000 BELLOWS OF BREEZES: [S3] This bellows appears and is used the same as a bellows of breath. However, when pumped and commanded, it produces great winds. The winds blow all loose items about, affecting a cone 60 feet long and 10 feet wide at its furthest end. Each victim within the area must make a saving throw vs. spells or be knocked over and unable to attack or cast spells. If used to help propel a boat with sails, the winds add a bonus of 30 feet per round to the movement rate. The bellows may be used once per day for up to a full turn per use. XP value: 2,000 gp value: 7,000 BELLOWS OF ROARING: [S3] This bellows appears and is used as a bellows of breath and will also produce a cloud of green gas. The cloud is harmless; however, if any victims within it are hostile to the user, they all roar in rage for one round. This roaring bestows a +1 bonus to their hit rolls and saving throws for one turn and attracts the attention of all other creatures within 120 feet. Only one cloud can be created per day. XP value: Nil gp value: 300 BLACK FLAME CANDLE: [S4] Like the spell of the same name, a black flame candle burns in reverse. It produces cold, darkness, and oxygen, while growing all the time. The candle may be cut into segments, but only the uppermost one will retain the magic. Note that if the atmosphere of an enclosed space gets too oxygenated, humans can get quite giddy, although it causes no real physical harm. XP value: 1,000 gp value: 5,000 BLANKET OF SLEEPING: [S3] This plain gray blanket is 6 feet square. If used to wrap or cover any living creature, the victim must make a saving throw vs. spells or sleep until the blanket is removed. The blanket is easily removed by anyone but the victim; if the saving throw is successful, the blanket has no effect. The victim needs no food or water while asleep, and may sleep for years. A normal hit roll is required if the blanket is used in hand-to-hand combat. XP value: Nil gp value: 1,600 BOOK OF CURSES: Large white leather book, decorated in gold leaf with pictures of spinning wheels, apples, cradles, fairies, radiates neutral good magic. If a person under a curse opens this book, it will tell him who cursed him, when, why, how and how the curse can be broken. XP value: 750 gp value: 3,500 BOOK OF FORESIGHT: This is a slim volume which feels much heavier than its size would suggest. Bound in a dark maroon leather, the cover always has a chilling, clammy feeling. While the book of foresight appears to have may pages of fine paper, it is impossible to turn to any page except the one where the book opened. When opened, the book will reveal a potential danger, hazardous situation or other warning...always something which might be encountered or might occur later. When first opened, the warning is vague - a hint or suggestion of some possible hazard and, if the book is closed again, nothing immediate will result and the pictured hazard may or may not happen. If used repeatedly, the warnings may change...or the same warning may repeat itself but becoming more and more distinct. If the book remains open or if the warning is studied, the danger becomes increasingly clear and also immediate until, after 1d10+10 rounds spent studying the warning, the pages suddenly become blank...but the reader and party find themselves in the midst of the cautioned situation. XP value: 700 gp value: 2,200 BOOTS OF THE COWARD: [S5] These boots resemble boots of elvenkind. They will appear and function as boots of elvenkind... until the wearer runs from a monster or combat. At this time the boots will clamp to the user's legs and will not release until a remove curse is cast upon them. When the victim runs from a monster or combat, the boot will leave glowing, greenish-yellow footprints with a strong odor. The prints will last for 1d6+6 turns before they fade, allowing the victim to be followed by even the most incompetent trackers. XP value: Nil gp value: 5,000 BOOTS OF SAFETY: [S5] These are well padded boots that will, if a melee brings the wearer below 2 hp per his level, will immediately be teleported without error to the safest place within 20' per his level. It has 2d10 charges and cannot be made to not function. XP value: 900 gp value: 2,600 BOTTLE OF CONTAINMENT: This small bottle can hold up to 20 units of any kind of fluid. A magic potion counts as one unit, as does one gallon of any non-magical fluid. The bottle keeps all its contents separate, and each may be recalled by name. However, any fluid stored must be poured from the bottle to be used. The bottle appears empty if examined. If the bottle is broken, all its liquid contents disappear. XP value: 1,750 gp value: 4,500 BOTTLE OF EVAPORATION: [S3] This bottle appears identical to a bottle of containment and usually functions in the same manner. However, its entire contents may disappear without warning. There is a 5% chance of disappearance any time the user attempts to remove a liquid from the bottle. XP value: 200 gp value: 1,000 BOTTLE OF FIREFLIES: [S3] This bottle appears and functions as a bottle of containment. However, when one wineskin of wine is poured into it, the bottle glows with many tiny lights and the wine is immediately consumed. The lights can be commanded to glow with any brightness desired and can light an area as small as 1 foot across or up to 120 feet in diameter. However, the bottle cannot be completely darkened except magically. The firefly light lasts 1 hour per wineskin of wine used and functions as often as desired. XP value: 2,000 gp value: 5,000 BOTTLEJOHN'S NEST EGG: [S5] This item is a large crystal globe--powerful neutral magic may be detected. This is commonly found in the nest of a Harpy or other large, dangerous birds. It has been enchanted for the sole purposes of attracting such a bird to nest where its eggs may be gathered for market. Anyone carrying the globe has 25% or DMO to be attacked by such birds each day in the dungeon or wild, or each week in town. This is a rare imported item. And can only be identified by someone with experience with this item, or by the party carrying it getting attacked by the birds attracted to it (which gives them a 7% chance per encounter--let them wonder). XP value: 1,500 gp value: 7,000 BOWL OF BLOOD: [SO] This bowl resembles other magical bowls (cf. bowl of commanding earth elementals) saves that it fills with blood either once per day (24 hours), upon command, or of its own volition once every 4 rounds after being activated. While in the bowl, blood will not congeal, and can be used as a material component, writing ink, medical supply (it will be compatible with all whom it is given), stirge lure, or hurled at opponents and blind them temporarily in a fight, etc. Eighty percent of these bowls contain human blood. Others contain elvish, gnome, and even (most rare) dragon blood. Such bowls fill from 9-90 times, and then vanish. XP value: 500 gp value: 1,000 BRACELET OF SWIMMING: This bracelet is made of gold and is set with small pieces of jade. Its apparent value is 250 gp. It is actually a semi-powerful magic item which gives the wearer the same swimming abilities as those given by gauntlets of swimming and climbing. Note that no climbing abilities are given and that any character may use this item. XP value: 500 gp value: 5,000 =========================================================== This is the LOOONG magic Item list, section 5 of 9. BRACERS OF DEFLECTION: [S2] These magical bracers function like bracers of defense of the most powerful sort, affording the wearer an effective armor class of 2. In addition, if the wearer chooses to attempt to parry an opponent's attack (as detailed on page 104 of the Players Handbook), the bracers cause the opponents to take a -4 penalty 'to hit', making a successful parrying attempt more likely. The wearer may only parry in this fashion against one opponent in any round, and cannot attempt to parry unless he does not take any offensive action during that round. XP value: 4,500 gp value: 27,000 BRACERS OF THE MERMAN: [S1] These devices will allow the wearer to swim at a constant speed of 18" for up to 6 hours once per day, and at the speed of 12" indefinitely. The bracers also confer water breathing upon the wearer for an indefinite period. They do not, however, allow one to use fire or wield weapons underwater as one could on the surface. The bracers appear to be ordinary wrist guards or arm guards; they contain no engraving or other elaborate decoration. As with all magical bracers, both must be worn by the same character for their magic to work. XP value: 2,000 gp value: 4,500 BREACH-GATE: [S5] A steel ring, two feet in diameter, this artifact is devoid of ornamentation or detail of any kind. Anyone who passes his head through it, though will receive the command word directly into his mind. When the ring is held against any surface and the word is uttered, there will appear a hole, beginning at the ring and continuing straight ahead until it again reaches open air. Speaking the word again causes the hole to be refilled, while speaking it backward causes the ring to appear at opposite end of the hole before closing it. In actuality, the device is temporarily phasing out the intervening material. If something happens to be occupying that space on the plane that the gate uses (take your pick), it will appear, probably to the user's detriment. XP value: 2,500 gp value: 20,000 BREAD OF RESTORATION: [S5] This item is a small loaf of very dark bread that radiates magic. Eating one loaf of this bread is the equivalent of a full night's sleep and a full meal as far as renewing spells, mana, once-a-day powers, etc., are concerned. It keeps 8+1d12 days, if dry--if it gets wet it spoils in 2 hours, when it is broken or its sealed package is opened. XP value: 900 gp value: 5,000 BREATH MINTS: [S5] Breath mints are found as small colored mint-candies. These candies come in the same colors that dragons do, and the person who eats the mint can use the same breath weapon as the corresponding dragon. Damage is 2-12, range 10", weapon may be used 1-2 times only. User is immune to the effects of that sort of breath weapon during duration. These mints do not keep well. If spoiled, water-damaged, etc., they make the users mouth feel as though a dragon has been nesting in it for the last decade or so--and have only 75% or less to work at all. XP value: 700 gp value: 7,000 BRIDLE OF CONTROL: [S3] This bridle automatically calms the mount, preventing all non-magical fear. Flying dragons, nearby snakes, and other occurrences which could cause unprotected animals to falter or flee do not effect the mount. The bridle of control has continuous effect while worn. XP value: 500 gp value: 2,000 BRIDLE OF LISTENING: [S3] This bridle given the mount the ability to understand any language heard. It does not enhance the animal's ability to speak, however; a speak with animals spell is needed for the mount to act as an interpreter. The bridle functions as long as it is worn. XP value: 500 gp value: 1,500 BRIDLE OF SOARING: [S3] This bridle gives the mount the ability to fly (as the M-U spell) at any rate up to 360 feet per turn. The speed is not affected by encumberence, but the duration is 6 hours per day if the animal is lightly encumbered or 3 hours if fully laden. The total time is not limited to a single journey and may be used in any number of parts; however, each flight uses one turn of flying time even if only a few round's duration. XP value: 2,500 gp value: 7,000 BRIDLE OF SPEAKING: [S3] This bridle gives the mount the ability to understand and speak in the common tongue. As most riding animals are not highly intelligent, the words and concepts are limited. XP value: 1,000 gp value: 4,000 BROOCH OF ALCHEMY: [S5] This brooch is made of amethyst, that is carved with an alembic pattern. This brooch gives the wearer a percentage (his wisdom + 15) of indentifying any potion correctly, by placing the brooch into the potion, or adding the percentage to any other adjustments the identifier has when tasting the potion or just allowing the identifier more obvious clues when tasting. XP value: 3,000 gp value: 17,000 BROOCH OF BEGOING: [DUNGEON 11] This item appears to be a decorative pin set with rubies, worth about 2,500 gp. However, it has distinct magical properties and can be used by a PC of any race and class. Each brooch has 1-50 charges. Once per week, the brooch allows the wearer to teleport himself plus an additional 750 lbs. to any part of the Prime Material Plane familiar to the person. This power drains two charges. Up to three times per week ( but never more than once per day), the wearer can blink (as per the 3rd level mage spell), except that the distance of displacement is of the wearer's choosing. This power drains one charge. Once per day, the wearer can become invisible (as per the spell). This power uses no charges. Furthermore, the brooch acts as ring of protection +1 so long as the wearer has it on his person and wears no other form of magical protection or armor. The brooch may be worn with bracers of defense, however. No charges are drained by this ability. XP value: 4,000 gp value: 16,000 BROTHER SAMUEL'S COOKOO FIGURINE: [S5] This object is a well-carved figurine of a cookoo on a nest and inscribed "Spell Storing". It appears to function as a normal item of spell storing with indefinite capacity. In fact it stores the spells in other people's magic items. Range is 100' and spells are stored last in first out. When asked to release the spell it will do so normally if the other item is still in range -- otherwise it will release a different spell or none (DMO). If necessary it will delete spells already in the other magic items tomake room for the new ones. XP value: 5,000 gp value: 50,000 CARPET OF CATASTROPHE: [S6] This large beautiful carpet files on command, smoothly and well, and can carry up to six passengers. However, it will always fly directly to the greatest possible danger on that level of the dungeon and then land. It will not fly again until the danger in this location is abbrogated. At that time, if commanded to fly, it will again fly directly to the location of greatest possible danger. (The carpet can pass thru stone walls as if ethereal.) XP value: Nil gp value: 9,000 CATBOOTS: [S5] These boots are decorated with pictures of mice, milk, cushions, hearths, etc. Anyone wearing these boots will always land on his feet, whether jumping, falling, turning sumersaults, etc. But they in no way negate impact damage. Some varieties of these boots have all the benefits of boots of elvinkind too, and are worth the values of both boots added together. Each day the boots are worn the wearer has 1% (not cumulative) to be geased to go and look at the nearest queen. XP value: 400 gp value: 1,000 CENSER OF THAUMATURGY: [SO] This perferated metal vessel is typically (75%) made of electrum, but may be forms of any prescious metal. If it is filled with incense and the contents are lit, the vapors from theincense will permeate a 1" radius after 1 round and increase by 1" per round thereafter until reaching a 7" redius limit after the seventh round. The effect of the vapors depends on what sort of character or creature ignited the inscence (which may be someone other than the owner of the censer). If the lighting was done by a member of a spellcasting class of creature with spell-like ailities, all magic-user spells cast by someone who is within the vapors are treated as if cast by a magic-user of 18th level. If the lighting is done by a character or creature with no spellcasting or innate spell-like abilities, then all magic-user spells cast by someone within the vapors are treated as if cast by a character of 5th level. A ranger or palidin who has obtained spell abilities because of high level is considered a spell-caster for pupopese of this determination. All forms of magic that are equivalent to any magic-user spell (such as a monster's innate spell-like abilities or druid, illusionist, or cleric spells that directly duplicate magic-user spells) are affected by the magic of the censer of thaumaturgy. Psionic powers, magic items, and other magical or magic-like effects are not altered. The 'high-level' effect of the censer's magic will give any spell cast the range, duration, and effectiveness that would be afforded to a magic-user of the 18th level, but does not allow the casting of any spell that the caster did not already possess. The 'low-level' version of the magic will limit the spells usuable within the vapors to magic available to a 5th-level casterl in other words, nothing higher than a 3rd-level spell can be successfully cast. Any attempt to use a spell of 4th level or higher will simply fail, and the spell will be wasted. As with the 'high-level' version, no caster can use a spell to which he would not normally be entitled. The censer will burn for 3-12 turns unless deliberately extimguished. A gust of wind spell, the approach of a wind stalker, or the presence of similar air currents which markedly affect the vapors will disperse them and end the effect. When the censer goes out or it is extinguished, the vapors persist for 1-4 rounds thereafter before losing thier power. XP value: 2,500 gp value: 12,000 CHAIN OF SUBSPACE: [S5] This is a chain of mithril/laen links with a clasp on each end--size varies. This may either be as a large chain (20 feet long, each link 3 inches diameter) or as a bracelet. The large chain will always be unclapsed, the bracelet will always be clasped. When the large chain is laid in a circle and clasped it will change to the bracelet size, and any objects or people inside the circle (and up to 40 feet above) will be teleported to subspace and place in partial time stasis. For them no obective time will pass in relation to aging, spell duration, bleeding to death, etc. When the bracelet is unclasped the full size chain and its contents will reappear. XP value: 7,000 gp value: 100,000 CHAINS OF THE RUNE OF THE CHAIN: These dull black chains and braclets were constructed to allow the imprisonment of any magic using classes. They are 100% magic resistant and drain all magic spells from any spell using class. Spell users are drained of any and all spells and mana points, and must recuperate and study or pray before being able to perform magic again after being released. The chains can be removed only by the use of a mundane key. XP value: 2,000 gp value: 55,000 CHIMES OF THE WINDS OF TIME: [S4] A fine and delicate-appearing set of wind chimes, these seven resonant bars are possessed of a terrible power. When struck, each sounds a clear, perfect note, and a certain amount of time passes, within a to foot circle. There is one bar for each of the following time periods: minute, hour, day, month, year, century, and millenium. If strung and/or hit carefully, precise time increments can be obtained. If not, who knows how much time might pass? Perhaps enough for the stoutest steel to crumble into dust, or just a respite for an exhausted fighter, while his enemy freezes in place. Three footnotes will be of special interest--First, the apparatus used to hang the chimes is not immune to the effect of them, so often the only thing to stop a runaway chime will be the disintegration of whatever is holding them up. Second, since chime ring in real (outside the 10' area) time, they can be heard by approaching beings. It is possible, however that they might not realize what is happening, even though they will not hear the chimes within the area. The agin affects only those things stay within the area (beings can walk out, unaffected, and their movements will seem exceedingly quick to those outside). Third, there is a legend stating that the song of these creatures will be the final sound at the end of time. XP value: 4,000 gp value: 20,000 CHURCH BELL: [S3] This bell has no clapper and must be struck by a cleric using a holy symbol to create its magical effect. When striking the bell properly, the cleric temporarly gains one level of experience; this effect last only one hour at most. Hit points and spells which would be gained are obtained immediately and require no training or meditation; damage taken thereafter is subtracted first from the magically gained hit points. The effect can also absorb one energy level drain; the cleric then merely drops back to origional level. The bell may be used only three times per week and only once in any 24 hour period. A wish merely extends the effect to eight hour's duration; the gain in level cannot be made permanent. XP value: 2,000 gp value: 5,000 CIBOLA'S POWDER: [S5] This item is usually found as a soft gold powder. A dose of 1/4 teaspoon per 100 lbs. body-weight will cause the user to rejuvenate 10 years (effects permanent). Those contemplating usage should be cautioned against overdoseage--extreme juvenation is possible. XP value: 1,000 gp value: 15,000 per 1/4 teaspoon CLAWS OF RAKING: [S3] This pair of apparently ordinary gloves will grow claws on command. The wearer may use them as edged weapons, striking twice per round for 1-4 points of damage per hit plus strength bonus. The gloves can affect creatures immune to normal weapons. When used with cleats of gripping, the wearer may climb sheer surfaces as if a 4th level thief (but with penalties for armor appling). XP value: 600 gp value: 1,000 CLEATS OF GRIPPING: [S3] The wearer of these useful items can walk on otherwise impassably slippery surfaces, even if magical. Sheer surfaces cannot be climbed, but any slope of 45 degrees or less can be easily scaled. When they are used with claws of reking, the wearer may climb sheer surfaces as well as a 4th-level thief. The cleats make clicking noises when used on rock or stone, so the wearer cannot suprise others. XP value: 800 gp value: 1,300 CLOAK OF BATTLE: [SA,SO] This cloak will entangle any weapon parried by it (treat any unsuccessful to hit roll of an opponent upon the cloak wearer or wielder as a parry). Magical weapons must then make a saving throw of 20, with a bonus equal to their magical bonuses; those magical weapons without combat bonuses save on a 20, and all artifacts save at +5 on the die or at their own plus, whichever is greater. Failure to make the save binds the weapon fast to the cloak for 1-3 rounds. This entanglement prevents further attacks using that weapon, and a bend bard/lift gates strength roll is needed to pull the weapon free prematurely. If the attacking creature leaves or moves away to engage another olpponent before the 1-3 rounds are up, it must part company with its weapon, which remains in the possession of the cloak-bearer. The cloak has one other function; upon the speaking of a command word while the cloak is held (but not worn), the cloak will be transformed into a stout bar or cudgel for 5-8rounds. The cudgel is largely composed of magical force, will no be damaged by normal use (i.e., all except contact with magical weapons or spells), counts as magical for to hit purposes but has no bonuses, does 1-6/1-3 hp of damage, and cannot be used to entangle other weapons as above. The cloak can be destroyed by parrying (in the above manner) eight blows from magical weapons while in this form, and it can be weilded by characters of any class without proficiency penalties. XP value: 2,000 gp value: 12,000 CLOAK OF COMFORT: [SA,SO] This cloak imparts (to the wearer only) equable temperatures for comfortable studying, physical activity, sleep, and so on. It does this by alternatively exuding heat or cold that it has magically absorbed (including the heat of the sun, the chill of night breezes, and extremes of temperature common to deserts, glacers, and other inhospitable regions). The cloak's outlines are always clearly visible to creatures having infravision. Notably, cold- and heat-based magical atacks are absorbed by the cloak harmlessly; thus, the wearer is immune to cone of cold, heat metal, and similar spells. Note that most fire-based spells and magics such as ice storm do damage for other reasons than merely the temperature of their effects. The wearer of a cloak of comfort suffers -2 hp per die of damage from ice storm and fire-based magics of all sorts, although the cloak itself is immune to the effects of flame and freezing. Electrical and other energy attacks are unaffected by such a cloak. The capacity for absorbtion of such a cloak is not known--none is known to have ever 'overloaded' nor, when destroyed, to have exploded or emmitted any bursts of heat or cold. The wearer of such a cloak never suffers the effects of exposure to the wilderness, such as reduced constitution, dexterity, etc. Sunstroke (due to ultraviolet radiaion) and water damage to accoutrements, ets., are still possible. Hypothermia and fataal effects of frigid waters are not possible. XP value: 1,500 gp value: 7,500 CLOAK OF DELIGHT: [SO] These strange, most rare garments cause all who view the wearer to feel calm and at peace in the latter's presence, and feel friendly towards the wearer. At first sight of a wearer of a cloak of delight, regardless of the latter's natural charisma, all who fail to save vs. spell will feel loyalty and love for the wearer, and will tend to carry out the latter's most bizzare commands with enthusiasm and alacrity. All who wish to attack the wearer of such a cloak must save vs. spell at every attack or strike at -2 due to reluctance and remorse. Once per day the cloak wearer may entrance creatures who fail to save vs. spell by causing the cloak to display the ultimate pleasure and goal of each (creatures of low or animal intelligence save at -3, non-intelligent creatures are unaffected). Entranced creatures will remain in a motionless trance for 1-8 rounds, oblivious to their surroundings, but will attack manically any creature or thing obstructing their view of the cloak. Use of darkness, pyrotechnics, or similiar obscuring spells ends the trance. Entranced creatures cannot employ psionics or cast spells. A side effect of the cloak's powers is that everyone who views the garment will see it differently, and give widely different descriptions of it later. XP value: 3,000 gp value: 35,000 CLOAK OF DRY CLEAR: [S5] This is a cloak of very fine watered silk and is waterproof. It makes the wearer completely invisible, even to truesight--but only in the rain, in fog, or underwater. "...took a sprinkling can and kept wetting himself down with it. He was invisible all right, but you should have seen those orcs chasing that dancing water can..." XP value: 500 gp value: 4,000 CLOAK OF ECHOES: [SO] This cursed item is identical to a cloak of elvenkind (q.v., DMG), and functions properly as such an item at all times. When a wearer is attempting to be quiet and stealthy--and only at such times--all noises made by the wearer are greatly magnified, and echo loudly. Thus, the sound of a footfall or that of a weapon being drawn would alert other beings to the presence--if not the precise location--of the cloak-wearer. Whenever such an echo-activated cloak is taken off, it will emit a weird, echoing falling cry as it parted from the being who has just worn it. XP value: Nil gp value: 3,000 CLOAK OF EMPTINESS: [S5] This cloak is a dark blue embroidered robe. The embroidery is so intricate that close studying of it will cause severe headaches. To use, the wearer wraps himself tighly in the robe, thinks or where he wants to be, and he is there. However, the robe falls to the ground where he used to be. Accuracy depends upon the condition of the cloak. XP value: 3,000 gp value: 15,000 CLOAK OF ETHERALNESS: This apparently ordinary cloak will allow the user to fade briefly into the Ethereal Plane up to three times a week. It is activated by one segment of concentration. No verbal command is necessary--the character just begins to fade. The process takes five full segments, during which time the user cannot move but may defend against attacks. While fading into theether the character can be struck buy any weapon or spell. At the end of the five segments the character is wholly in the ether and thus invisible on the prime material and immune to most attacks. While ethereal, the user can move at the rate of 15 feet per segment in any direction, even up or down, and can bypass walls, ceilings, magical traps, doors, ect. At the end of three segments, the user will fade back in to the prime material plane. The cloak cannot be activated again for one full turn, and may be activated only three times in any one week. While in the ether there is a 1% chance of an ehtereal encounter which may follow the user at the DM's discretion. A user who would rematerialize inside a material object is trapped on the ethereal plane! The cloack can be used but 36 times, after which the item becomes non-magical. XP value: 2,600 gp value: 15,500 CLOAK OF FANGS: [SA,SO] This cloak can be worn as a normal, heavy-wear, all-weather cloak for an unlimited time, but when magically activated will serve only once. The word of activation for all such cloaks is 'Feerond,' then name of their maker. When this is spoken, the cloak is dangerous to the wearer's friends and foes alike; it fires darts of pure force up to 3" distant in all directions, this spray of invisible missiles lasting for seven rounds regardless of the cloak wearer's intentions. The cloak wearer wil never be struck by any of these missiles, nor do any such missiles ricohet, but all creatures within 3" of the cloak-wearer (who may, of course, move and fight normally) suffer 6-36 hp damage per round; a save vs. spell means half (3-18) damage, and spells such as shield, wall of force, anti-magic shell and the like will offer complete protection against the missiles. The missiles also cannot penetrate other planes (i.e., the etheral) or extra-dimensional spaces (e.g., those created by a portable hole or rope trick spell), although if the cloak wearer enters such a space or plane by some means, the flurry of missiles will accompany him or her. The missiles do not hamper the movement rater of affectred creatures, but do prevnt spellcasting that involves somatic and material componnts. At the end of the seven-round flurry of missiles, the cloak vanishes forever. XP value: 1,500 gp value: 10,000 CLOAK OF GUARDING: [S1,SO] This garment is identical in weight, texture, and appearence to a normal woolen cloak, and is typically gray in color. When it is worn and the user is struck by a physical blow, the cloak will instantly become rigid at the point of impact, deflecting all non-magical missles and absorbing some of the force from any other physical attack (-2 on each die of damage, down to a minimum of 1 point of damage per die). After the attack had landed and withdrawn, the cloak cannot be torn of otherwise damaged by any physical attack, except under the circumstances described immediately below. If a cloak of guarding is subjected to constriction or sustained pressure (as in a dead fall trap, or caught between two walls that are closing together), the garment will protect the wearer in the manner of a rigid suit of armor until it has 'rested' for as many rounds as the number of points of damage it absorbed, or until it is taken off and not worn for at least one round. The constriction of a cloak of guarding (which invloves metal spun into fine threads) is such that the wearer will take maximum damage--no saving throw permitted--from heat, cold, or electrical attacks of all sorts. The cloak itself will not burn. XP value: 1,500 gp value: 10,000 CLOAK OF MANY COLORS: [SA,SO] This rare garment can so shift its pigmentation that its wearer is immune to the effects of color spray, prismatic spray, and the like, and can pass through a prismatic sphere or prismatic wall (together with all items carried or worn within the cloak) as though the barrier did not exist. The wearer only (not companions) is so protected, and he is likewise solely protected from blindness due to blur, pyrotechnics, hypnotic pattern, darkness, blinding light of all sorts, and magical effect. The cloak itself does not seem to an observer to alter its own colors, but will always seem to have a swirling and indistinct surface (aiding the success of a wearer hiding in shadows by +10%); more so when it is acting to shield its wearer's gaze from color effects cast at the wearer. The cloak cannot, however, deliberatey be used to camouflage te wearer by blending with surroundings, nor does it have any powers to affect creatures other than te wearer, either by attack or by conferring protection. Once every 12 turns, the wearer, by effort of will, can cause the cloak to glow (equivalent to a light spell, but not blinding) white, such glowing lasting for nine rounds, without any concentration required, or ceasing sooner if the wearer wills. Obviously the wearer cannot hide in shadows while the cloak is thus used. XP value: 1,200 gp value: 8,000 CLOAK OF NIGHT: [SN] This magical cloak will operate only on a non-good figure. If a good figure wears it, he will automatically be attacked by any undead encountered, even if those undead must push past other party members to get at the wearer. The cloak, when worn by a non-good figure, confers the following powers at night only: polymorph with all possessions into a bat. stirge, crow, or owl at will in 1 segment (the figure must return to normal shape before changing into a different form); gain 90-foot infravision (whether underground or not); and act as a cloak of elvenkind. XP value: 2,000 gp value: 20,000 =============================================================== This is the LOOONG magic Item list, section 6 of 9. CLOAK OF QUICK CHANGE: [S5] This cloak usually red and black and very popular with thieves and assassins, is reversible and any two colors desired. When the cloak is worn with one color out, a set of clothing is visible, when the cloak is reversed, a second form of dress appears. when the cloak is donned over a set of clothing and the clasp is turned, the inner side of the cloak is attuned to that set of clothes. When the cloak is removed, the clothes vanish with it. A second choice of costume may then be selected and the process repeated with the cloak reversed. After this, when the cloak is reversed, the appropriate set of clothing appears. XP value: 5,000 gp value: 15,000 CLOAK OF REFLECTION: [SA,SO] This cloak (many were made) confers a limited spell immunity upon any one, living creature wearing or covered by it. The following spells and spell-like magic-iten functions--and only the following spells--are directed back at the caster/wielder as follows: Magic missile- Reflected back at the caster with full effect (no saving throw). Shocking grasp- Discharge directed back instantly into caster and nullified; caster takes no damage, but spell is lost. Forget- Spell distorted and throw back at caster, who is confused (as per the 4th-level magic-user spell, confusion) for the following round (no saving throw); the forget spell is lost, and neither caster nor cloak wearer forgets anything. Irritation- Reflected back at caster, who is affected normally unless save is made (negates effect). Ray of enfeeblement- Reflected back at caster, who is affected normally unless save is made (negates effect). Hold person/animal/monster (if cast at cloak wearer) - Distorted by the cloak and reflected back at the caster, who must save vs. spells (at par) or be slowed for two rounds. Tasha's uncontrollable hideous laughter- Reflected back at the caster, who is affected normally unless save is made (but the caster's saving throw is always at par, never a minus due to intellegence). Polymorph other- Reflected back at the caster, who must save +2 or be affected normally (system shock roll must be made, form recieved as the caster intended). Feeblemind- Reflected back at the caster who must save vs. spells at +2 or be affected normally. Color spray- Reflected back at caster, who must save vs. spells or be struck unconscious for 1-2 rounds. Entangle- Cloak wearer is unaffected by entangle, but the spell has normal effect on other creatures within area of effect; magic not reflected back on the caster. These cloaks were made to protect rangers and other traveling messengers in the service of the High Lady of Silverymoon. The precise magical defenses against each spell are now unknown, the knowledge having died with the maker of the cloaks, the mage Irentalar. The caster or wielder can escape into another plane (or extra-dimensional space). Momentary dislocations such as blink, dimension door, and teleport are not sufficient to escape, and instance is not a factor. XP value: 1,500 gp value: 10,000 CLOAK OF STARS: [SA,SO] The inside of this cloak comtains four stars aound the neck and front hems, sixpointed shapes of silver cloth. These are enspelled and radiate magic. If a star is touched and the name of its maker spoken (Thalanta the Fair made most of these cloaks), the star will vanish and the spell stored within the star will be activated. The knowledge of the making of such stars is lost, and thus they cannot be replaced. Only one star may be activated per round; it will cause the a spell to be cast as though by the cloak wearer or bearer (regardless of that being's class or level), and the spell will take effect as though cast by a magic-user of 20th level, for that is what Thalanto was. The usual spells stored in a cloak of stars vary according to which of the three types of cloak is found: 1. Teleport, enchant an item, spirit-wrack, limited wish 2. Anti-magic shell, repulsion, reverse gravity, imprisionment 3. Death spell, legend lore, statue, shape change 4. Wish, blizzard blast, ball lightning, anti-lightning ball Such cloaks are very rare, versions 3 & 4 espically so. The pattern in which the stars were placed inside the cloaks vary as well. The four known varations are: a three-star triangle inside the right front throat hem, one star in the center of the triangle; four stars in a square on the left front hem; two stars down the right front hem and two stars down the left front hem; and, four stars in a diagonal row by the right front throat hem. The stars can, of course, be activated without knowing what spell will occur; knowledge of the spell power will fill the star-activator's mind in time for the spell to be directed at an area or specific target (but not negated or saved for later). XP value: 1,200 gp value: 7,500 CLOAK OF SURVIVAL: [SA,SO] While wearing this cloak, any being gains a +2 bonus on all saving throws vs. poison and has a -03% penalty to the chances of contracting any disease or parasitic infesation. In adition, the cloak maintains a supply of pure, breathable air, enough for the wearer only to breathe for one turn, within itself, replenishing this supply constantly whenever the surrounding air is pure, and automatically envelopes the cloak-wearer's head in it whenever breathable air is not present (i.e., if the cloak wearer is enveloped in choking smoke or plunged into water, he or she can see, breathe, and act normally for up to one turn). Incidentally, the wearer of this cloak is immune to nausea and its effects, and to the person-affecting cantrips belch, cough, sneeze, and yawn. Note that poisonous vapors are protected against for one full turn, and only thereafter must the cloak wearer save (at +2) to aviod any effects. XP value: 1,000 gp value: 6,000 CLOAK OF SYMBOITIC PROTECTION: [SA,SO] This type of cloak is very rare. It is impregnated with an immobile, nonintelligent living substance of unknown identity and origins which cannot be isolated by alchemists and naturalists for study. The symbolite drains one hit point of vitality from the wearer every other time it is put on (or, if worn continuously, once every two days) and makes the wearer color blind while worn. In return, the cloak confers immunity to the effects of green slime, olive slime, obliviax, violet fungi, yellow musk creeper, yellow mold, and russet mold (but not brown mold). In addition, spore attacks of all other sorts (including those of the mythconid, ascomoid, basidirond, and similar creatures) are saved against at +4. The symbiotic life form in the cloak seems to feed upon and neutralize spores and microscopic airborne life of all sorts; in many cases, this power will confer upon the cloak wearer a -06% penalty to the chances of contracting diseases. XP value: 3,000 gp value: 20,000 CLOAK OF THE SHIELD: [SA,SO] The wearer of this cloak can project a shieldlike fiedld of invisible force once every two turns, maintaining and moving this force field by conscoius mental control. The field lasts up to three rounds, in the form of a square 10' x 10' across and four inches thick. The wearer can employ this shield, protecting himself or another single being, so that it acts as a wall of force (as per the magic-user spell), a weapon (striking as an invisible ramming force, doing 1-10 points of damage per blow, one blow per round, no saving throw), as a bridge or barrier (like a door), or as a 'floating disc' (like Tenser's spell). The wearer can shift the force field to fulfill any or all of these functions in any order, but it may serve only in one capacity per round. If not maintained by constant mental control (i.e., the wearer cannot be struck unconscious, stunned, charmed, confused, feebleminded, or psionically attacked, and cannot himself cast spells), it will cease to exist instantly. Attacks upon the field of force do not affect the cloak. The cloak has 750 charges and uses one charge for every round in use. XP value: 1,500 gp value: 10,000 COLLAR OF OBEDIENCE: [S4] Simply put, the wearer of this item is subject to any command, given by any being within earshot. The only conditions are these: 1) The victim must don the collar willingly; 2) The priority of each command is lower than the preceding one. Thus, if you tell the collar-wearing chancellor to kill the king, and the cornered monarch orders him to desist, yours will be the instruction followed. The collar is a beautiful work of art, often worn for its ornamental value by the unknowing. XP value: 2,000 gp value: 10,000 CONE OF SILENCE: [S4] Six inches tall and three across the base, this cone is made of a springy, yet nearly invulerable spongelike substance. It is always in operation, completely damping all sound within any room. Even if the room has an opening, the room will still be silent, and the space outside will be unaffected. Out of doors, the effect extends for 100 yards or until blocked by an obstruction. Wrapping the cone of silence or placing it in a container allows hearing to resume. XP value: 1,000 gp value: 8,000 CUE BALL: [S3] This ball appears identical to a crystal ball, but no images appear in it, and it may look useless. If carried, however, it can offfer advice. Whenever the user is in doubt as to a decision of any kind, the cue ball speaks in a language known to the user, offering its opinion as to the best course of action. The cue ball always has an opinion if asked for advice, though its opinion is entirely random if a random chioce is the only one possible (such as the direction to take at an unexplored intersection). This ball operates by using ESP on the mind of its user, brilliantly analyzing and applying all the user's knowledge to arrive at its opinion. The cue ball can offer only three opinions per day. XP value: 500 gp value: 1,000 DANLEOR'S DUNGEON CHAIN: [SP] Hundreds of years ago, there lived a great wizard named Danleor who created dozens of sets of magical dungeon chans, which he used to confine his numerous and unusual enemies. some of these enchanted shackles have survived the centuries to the present. Individual sets of chains vary in power and effectiveness; the stronger ones are noticeably thicker and sturdier than the weaker ones. The iron chains and shackles are built to confine any creature from hill giant size to halfling size, and Danleor's dungeon chains are so heavy on a captive that he is almost totally immobilized. To determine the strength of the chains discovered, roll on the following table: 1d100 Result 01-30 Restrains up to 17 strength 31-60 Restrains up to 18/00 strength 61-90 Restrains up to 19 strength, prevents captive from becoming gaseous 91-97 Restrains up to 19 strength, prevents captive from becoming gaseous, escaping to the Astral or Ethereal planes, teleporting, or using dimension door 98-00 Restrains up to 20 strength, prevents captive from escaping by any means short of a wish Danleor's dungeon chains are much too heavy to be thrown or otherwise used as weapons. Anyone aside from the chains; captive may open the magic shackles, if he knows the command word. In some of Danleor's ancient records, which are now kept by an isolated clan of elves, there is mention of strange types of dungeon chains which are actually sized to hold larger giants. To date, however, no such chains ave been discovered. XP value: 1,500 gp value: 20,000 DEGREE BELT: [S4] Appearing to be a strap of woven material six feet long, this item is in fact the most revered relic of an ancient school of martial arts. When worn in the proper manner, wrapped twice around the waist and tied with a square knot, it imbues the wearer with all the fighting skills of a top-rank student of the organization from which it came. In Oriental Adventures terms, this means a kensai of the 12th rank, while in AD&D terms, it means a fighter of 12th level with a single weapon of proficiency (the PC may not choose which weapon). Nothing else is gained, such as special abilities or hit points, and if the school (or any former member) still exists, the owner of the Belt could well be in continual danger from them. XP value: 3,000 gp value: 15,000 DEW TENT: When pitched and left standing for one night, this tent collects the morning dew on its surface and channels it into a collection pouch in one corner. The dew tent provided sufficient water for two humans and their mounts for one day, even in the desert and other arid regions. XP value: 20 gp value: 500 DIMENSION EGG: [S4] One of the most difficult of magic iterms to correctly construct, a dimension egg is a small (1-6 in) spheroid of gleaming metal, with only one surface feature- a slight groove about half an inch across. When the groove is pushed in the right direction, usually with a fingernail, a minute door slides open in the side of the Egg. Sticking any extremity into the opeining results in the experimenter being shrunken and sucked into the dimension egg, which in fact houses anything from a huge palace to a small planet. The particulars of this environment were entirely up to the wishes and skills of the maker of the egg, and may thus seem utterly mundane or insanely bizzare. The exit from the egg is normally unknown to the inhabitants thereof, but a determined searcher should be able to uncover it after many adventures. Success results in expulsion from the door and a return to normal size. XP value: 10,000 gp value: 50,000-200,000 DRAGON'S EYE: A dragon's eye appears to be a small multicolored gemstone, perfectly spherical in shape and about 1/2" in diameter. A jeweler will not be able to estimate its worth, and it seens to be made of no known mineral or substance. When held up to the light and closely examined, some specimens of a dragon's eye may be seen to have a design within the stone that resemebles the silhouette of a dragon in flight (which may be given as a clue to how the item functions). When cast into the air at the same time a command word is spoken, a dragon's eye will vanish in a puff of smoke. In 1-3 rounds, a young adult dragon of random color (without spellcasting abilities) will be summoned, appearing 10 feet away from where the character who cast the dragon's eye is standing. The dragon will initially be well predisposed to the summoner, and will obey any reasonable commands of the summoner that are spoken in the common tounge. However, the dragon will only remain for a certain period of time before it vanishes forever. The greater the difference between the summoner's alignment and the alignment of the dragon summoned, the less time the dragon will remain. The following table gives the different types of dragons that be randomly summoned by this device: D20 roll Dragon color Alignment 1-2 gold lawful good 3-4 silver neutral good 5-6 copper chaotic good 7-8 brass chaotic neutral 9-10 red chaotic evil 11-12 black neutral evil 13-14 blue lawful evil 15-16 bronze lawful neutral 17-20 green true neutral Any dragon summoned by a dragon's eye will remain with the summoner for 6 turns if the alignment of the summoner and the dragon are identical. For every step between the summoner's alignment and that of the dragon, counting the latter but not the former, the duration of the eye's effect is reduced by 1 turn. For example, lawful good is four steps away from chaotic evil: from LG to LN or NG = 1 step; LN or NG to N = 2; N to NE or CN = 3; NE or CN to CE = 4. Thus, a lawful evil summoner who recieved a red dragon after casting the eye would have its services for only 2 turns. The summoned dragon will generlly behave in a manner consistant with its alignment, unless commanded to do otherwise by the character controlling it. All of these dragons are of average size and have 4 hit points per hit die. They can use thier breath wewapon, claw, and bite attacks in combat. None of them will have fear aura that dragons gain upon reaching adulthood. Each can detect hidden or invisible creatures within a 4" radius. None of these dragons, because of the special nature of thier summoning, can be subdued in battle; if commanded to do so, a dragon will fight to the death on behalf of the summoner. A dragon's eye can only be used once. It is 90% likely that only one will be found in a treasure hoard; otherwise, two will be discovered. XP value: 3,000 gp value: 20,000 DUST OF BLENDING: [SE] This magical dust is usually found in a small leather bag upon which is drawn many magical sigils in silver foil. Each of the 2-12 cakes of dust of blending found in a bag resembles a crumbly chunk of yellow dirt about 3" in diameter. If thrown against a creature or inanimate object, cake of dust of blending explodes in a harmless shower of yellow and red sparks and causes the immediate area to blend in with its surroundings so as to be 90% invisible, even on close inspection. Each cake can cover an area of 50 cu. ft. (such as 2' x 5' x 5', 2' x 2 1/2' x 10', etc.). The magic from the dust of blending lasts for 1d6+6 turns. The dust can be washed off, thus revealing the object or creature it was meant to conceal. It may also be blown off by winds in excess of 40 MPH. If a creature moves while coated. there is a 10% chance per turn of movement that the dust will be shed. XP value: 1,250 gp value: 5,000 DUST OF FORGETFULNESS: This dust looks like other magical dusts, and is stored and delivered in the same manner. When throw at a character or other living creature, the dust causes the victim to forget everything that has happened to him in the last hour (including having the dust tossed upon him). Enemies encountered during that time will be forgotten, paths explored will look unfamiliar, and newly made friends will be seen with suspicion. If a character's immediate surroundings are similar to those the character was in an hour before, the character won't even be aware of the difference without close examination (if any differences in environment exist). After one week, the lost memories will be restored, and no experience will be lost. Player characters, if sprinkled with dust, should be forbidden by the DM to use 'forgotten' knowledge. No saving throw is given against this power. XP value: 1,500 gp value: 4,000 ELEMENTAL BALL: There are four types of elemental balls--air, earth, fire, and water--but all appear identical to crystal balls. Upon command, an elemental ball turns into its element (stone for earth). Each holds its shape while in elemental form and resumes the origional crystal appearance on command. The air ball is useful underwater, where it can supply the user with three hours of breathable sir. If Strength permits (15 or over), the earth ball can be used as a boulder (as if throw by a giant) but is treated a a +1 weapon in all respects; it is also immune to acid damage. A fire ball will burn the person holding or touching it for 1-4 points of damage per round of contact, though it had no effect if any sort of fire resistance applies; with a touch it will set combustible amterials afire. The water ball is useful in desert areas, for it cannot evaporate and can provide one person with daily water for up to seven days. On the prime material plane, if an elemental ball is offered to an elemental creature as a gift, it causes that creature to become neutral toward the donor and is thus useful for preventing attacks from out-of-control summoned elementals. The summoned creature then immediately departs to its home plane, taking the ball with it. XP value: 1,000 gp value: 2,000 ELVEN BRACELETS: [S5] These are bracelets woven from green vine. The vine possesses natural magic, which enables it to locate thin cracks and breaks. The wearer is able to locate secret doors by placing his hands against the wall, floor, ect. The range is 20' in all directions. Percentage of success will be the same as for an elf actively searching. XP value: 300 gp value: 3,000 EXPANDING CRYSTALS: These crystals look like colored quartz, 1-12 inches in diameter. These crystals grow when touched with water. A 1" crystal becomes 2" the first round, 4" the second, 8" the third, etc. Maximum is 360". Each doubling requires 1 quart of water. Crystals have the strength of normal quartz and tend to grow around and encase any obstacle. Any portion of the crystal will act in the same way. XP value: 200 gp value: 4,000 EXTENDABLE ROPE: This looks to be a normal rope of 10' long. When one end is held and the command word spoken, the rope will grow from the other end at 10" per round until the holder commands it to stop or reaches 100' of growth (making the rope 110' long maximum). The new growth may be cut into any length desires--will be normal rope. If the origional 10' secton is cut it loses all magic. XP value: 700 gp value: 4,000 EYES OF THE UNDEAD: [SN] These cups that fit over the eyes look like any of the other magical "eyes." However, they allow a figure to see living things at a range of 90 feet even in total darkness, even if the figure is invisible or is somehow cloaked or protected from normal sight. The eyes of the undead will see an aura of life, but are not able to see details of the figure's face, etc. Wearing the eyes cancels normal or magical infravision. The eyes of the undead prevent a vampire from charming their wearer. If worn for one full day, the eyes mold themselves to the wearer's eyes and cannot be removed until that figure is dead. To others, the victim's eyes look totally white. In all cases, the wearer's natural charisma will drop by two points while the eyes are worn, if they can be seen by others. XP value: 3,000 gp value: 10,000 FAERIE LASSO: This rope is silver colored, and is actually made of hair that is 50' long. Upon command the rope can: stretch up to 4 times its length; tie or untie; move like a snake (rate 12"). Anyone bound by it must obey the rope's holder/current owner. It dislikes ordinary ropes and if tied to one will wait until no one else is looking, untie itself and slither off 25-125' to silk--will not obey again until owner apologizes. XP value: 3,000 gp value: 13,000 FLAGON OF DRAGONS: [SO] This large, silver vessel never tarnishes, and bears no device (scratches and painted or chalked marks will fade and dissappear in 2-8 turns). A stoppered flagon is always heavy, and if shaken, a liquid sloshing noise is heard from within. When it is opened, a single dragon breath weapon attack will issue forth from its neck--acid stream, bolt of electricity, cone of gas or vapor, cone of fire or cold--such attacks being at random and not at the choice of the flagon-wielder, as follows: (roll of 1d10) 01 black dragon acid: does 36 points of damage 02 blue dragon bolt: 48 points 03 brass dragon sleep or fear gas 04 bronze dragon repulsion gas 05 copper dragon slow gas 06 green dragon chlorine gas: 56 points 07 red dragon cone of fire: 56 points 08 silver dragon paralyzing gas 09 white dragon cone of cold: 36 points 10 gold dragon fire: 64 points These attacks have the range of the breath weapons they duplicate. Once such a flagon has been unstoppered, an attack is launched immediately, regardless of the flagon-bearer's wishes, and after that attack has occured, directed outwards from the flagon's throat whether target's are present or not, nothing more occurs until the flagon is stoppered (and then unstoppered) again. Stoppering and unstoppering each take one round. The flagon of dragons appears to be empty; nothing amiss occurs if weapons, etc. are poked into it. It can even carry liquid without harm; but if stoppered, the liquid vanishes and a breath weapon attack emerges when the flagon is next opened. XP value: 6,000 gp value: 40,000 FOLDBOX: [S4] A lesser and more benign use of the power of spatial folding, the foldbox is nothing more than a large container, possessed of many different-sized storage spaces. The standard type, described in most texts, has one each of the following compartments: 12'x6'x4' 6'x4'x3' 4'x3'x2' 3'x2'x1' 1'x6"x3" 6"x3"x1" The great utility of the foldbox lies in its ability to get smaller as it is folded up. Its maximum deployment will expose all of the compartments at once, while the minimum shows only a fine wooden box (lidded) the size of the smallest compartment. A skilled user can get to any of the spaces without exposing any others. No matter how much material is placed in the foldbox (keeping in mind the constraints of volume), it will never weigh more than the weight of the box that is presently exposed (excluding contents). If the exceedingly tough box should somehow manage to get destroyed, the resultant explosion is equal to a 10 HD Fireball. XP value: 5,000 gp value: 50,000 =========================================================================== This is the LOOONG magic Item list, section 7 of 9. FOLDING CORACLE: [SQ] This device is similar to a folding boat(???), except that it does not create such a grand vessel nor does it take up as much space when it is collapsed. The folding coracle looks like a small leather patch when folded--about the size of a large playing card. In fact, the patch may be sewn to a piece of clothing as a means of disuising it. When the command word is spoken, it expands into a skin-and-strut craft that is circular and about eight feet in diameter. Up to six human-sized passengers can travel in it. XP value: 500 gp value: 3,000 FOSTER GRANTS: [S6] This is, as the name suggests, a pair of dark glasses. The person wearing these has a 50% chance to hide in shadows (plus any other percentages applicable) and not to be reconized by any person or monster. If sucessful, he will be forgotten in one melee round by all monsters and by all party members who fail to save on intellegence at -6. This will last as long as he wears the glasses. Is it necessary that we indicate in detail the possible disadvantages of this condition? Accidents do happen! XP value: 500 gp value: 10,000 GAUNTLETS OF HEAT: These golves are capable of generating heat and fire upon the mantal command of the wearer. A set of gauntlets of heat is capable of producing the following spell-like powers: The wearer can produce flame and heat metal six times per day each, and use burning hands three times per day. The guantlets can also be used to ignite up to twelve arrows or crossbow bolts a day, as per the spell flame arrow. All spell effects are at the 12th level of ability where determinations of spell level are applicable. XP value: 1,000 gp value: 10,000 GAUNTLETS OF THE GHOUL: [SN] If a good figure puts these on, he must save vs. paralysis each round until they are removed or until he is paralyzed. They can only be removed by dispel magic or remove curse, and even then removal must be done within 2 rounds of the spell being cast or they will again lock on the victim's hands. The figure will remain paralyzed until the gauntlets are then removed. If a non-good figure puts them on, his touch will be as that of a ghoul, inflicting 1-4 points of damage per touch (hand), and a victim must save vs. paralysis or be paralyzed for 5-20 rounds. XP value: 1,500 gp value: 10,000 GEM OF SHIELDING: This object is a small, magical gemstone that has the power to bestow upon its user complete immunity against certain psionic attacks. Each of these gems has a clear, pale color and initially seems to be of 10 gp value, though of an unidentifiable sort of gem. A gem of shielding is pressed to the user's forehead, where it will seem to melt into the skin and become invisible. No command word is necessary for this to occur. Thereafter, the gem performs its protective functions automatically. The gem may be removed by placing one's fingers against the forehead and mentally commanding the gem to reappear. It is possible for more than one gem to be emplaced on a character; however, there is a 20% cumulative chance per extra gem emplaced that a resonance field will be set up between the two (or more) stones. This resonance field will continue to protect against the attack forms the gems were designed to stop, but they will supress all other psionic defenses that the subject possesses. A person who is using gems to shield against attack forms C, D, and E would thus have ho defense at all against attack forms A or B if this occurred. The affected person will not be able to sense his own vunerability. Additionally, the resonance field will alert all psionic creatures within a one-mile radius of the gem-user as to his location, ruining all attampts to suprise such creatures. It is also possible for a psionic creature to track down the gem-user because of the resonance field given off when the item is in use. Only 1-2 gems of shielding will be ususally found. When one or more are discovered, the type(s) of gem(s) found may be randomly determined using the following table. Die roll Protects against (D12) Color of gem Gem type attack mode 1-3 pale violet nerve shield A 4-5 pale green mind shield B 6-7 pale orange ego shield C 8-9 pale yellow id shield D 10-11 pale blue psyche shield E 12 clear brain shield special The brain shield gem gifts its wearer with a generalized defense against all five psionic attack modes, reducing the psionic strength of all such attacks against the wearer by 50 points. Thus, an attacker using a 110-psionic blast against the wearer of such a gem would only 60-point attack against the wearer, though everyone around the victim would be struck at full strength. Additionally, the brain shield gem puts up a screen that keeps away cerebral parasites, effective out to a 60' radius. Shield XP value gp value Nerve 450 7,000 Mind 300 5,000 Ego 300 5,000 Id 300 5,000 Psyche 300 5,000 Brain 500 8,000 Only psionic characters may gain experience points from using gems of shielding. Characters without innate psionic powers may not employ these gems in any fashion, but they may sell them if so desired. GEM OF SCROLL READING: This small, white, translucent gem holds much power for spell casters. The gem has a flat top and bottom with faceted sides, and if one side is placed against printed matter, the gem will automatically make the writing legible as if comprehend languages and read magic spells were both in effect. More importantly, the reader (who must be a magic-user, illusionist, clerid, or druid) will be able to decipher spell scrolls usuable only by other spell-casting classes. If an entire scroll is read through using a gem of scroll reading, the reader may cast the spell normally, even if the spell was intended for someone of anothe character class. However, the reading and casting time for the scroll spell doubled; thus, a druid trying to cast a fireball from a scroll would take 6 segments to cast it using the gem of scroll reading. In addition, there is a 1% chance per level of the spell being cast that the reader/spell caster will be blinded (as if struck by a cause blindness spell). The reader may not use this gem to actually aquire a spell not normally usuable by his class, and any attempts to copy spells read through this device using a write spell will fail. Magic-users cannot learn druid spells, cleric cannot gain illusionist spells, ect. If the spell cast is of a level greater than that which the caster could normally use (e.g., if a 3rd-level druid tried to cast a cone of cold spell), then there is a 50% chance that the spell will either backfire (01-20) or simply fail (21-50). A backfiring spell will never benefit the caster and will harm the caster or work in the caster's worst interests. It must be noted that if a cursed or trapped scroll is read using this device, the gem will not help the reader recognise the curse or trap before it is activated. XP value: 3,500 gp value: 17,000 GIRDLE OF LIONS: [SO] This belt appears to be like any other magical girdle when first encountered. When it is put on, the wearer gains several special abilities. Wearing a girdle of lions enables one to speak with felines (as per speak with monsters). The felines, from house cat to sabretooth tiger, will view the wearer as if he had a charisma of 18 (for purpose of reaction checks). Often the cats will give advice or assiatance to the girdle wearer and may obey his commands, if such are reasonable. The wearer also gains the ability to land after al fall in such a way as to minimize physical damage: subtract 3 points from every die of damage incurred from falling, to a minimum of 1 point of damage per die. The girdle enables the wearer to move silently as per the thief ability, with a minimum 50% chance of success. If the wearer is a thief, assassin, monk, or other character or creature who already has the ability to move silently, then the chance of success is adjusted upward by +50%, to a maximum of 99%. Finally, the girdle confers a sort of night vision similar to that possessed by cats. If any light source is within view of the wearer, he can see in the dark as clearly as if he were in broad daylight. Note that this power is not related to infravision or ultravision; the girdle does not allow someone to see in pitch darkness or detect 'light' that lies outside the visible spectrum. XP value: 2,000 gp value: 8,000 GLASS BEAD: A glass bead will, on command, turn into a glass goblet containing one of the following potions (determined randomly upon creation): fire resistance, flying, healing, invisibility, poision, or speed. If the potion is poured into any other container, it turns into water; it must be consumed from the goblet to have magical effect. Any creature of 7 or more hit dice discerns th typ eof potion with a small sip; others must take thier chances with no way to discover the potion type except consuming the entire potion or having someone else identify it for them. If the potion is poison, the smallest sip requires a saving throw or death results. The poison turns to pure water as soon as a sip is taken. The potion also turns into water if not consumed within one urn, and the goblet disintegrates when emptied. XP value: 750 gp value: 1,000 GLOWING GLOBE: [SO] These globes are often found in ancient delvings and ruins. Their origin is unknown, although it is rumored among magic-users that a globe of controllable brightness can be made by the use of Nchaser's glowing globe, a spell if the 4th level (Forgotten Realms DM's Sourcebook, p. 62). This is said to require a normal glass globe of the finest quality. The mage Nchaser has not been seen for nearly twenty years. This is a luminous globe that floats always above and just behind the shoulder of the person who first touched it. Its brightness is under the owner's mental command, from dark to blindin (a brief flash; effects last for 1-6 rounds). typically, such a globe can be removed from an owner by a limited (or full) wish or remove curse, whereupon the next person to touch the globe inherits it. One type of globe remains brightly lit (equivalent to a continual light) at all times; the brightness cannot be controlled. The glowing globe does not radiate any heat, and cannot be rendered invisible save by wishes. It is affected by changes in its owner's states and drops to the ground, lightless, if its owner is killed, petrified, goes ethereal or astral, or travels to some other plane in some fashion in which he cannot take the globe with him. Owners attempting to use the globe as a carring device (by rigging an harness) have found that it can carry 200 gp. However, any weight above 25 gp slows it down to a slow walk, and the owner must match his pace to the globe's. If the weight carried is more than 200 gp, the globe settles to the ground and does not move until it's load is relieved. Savvy orcs and other darksers have used the tactic of weighted nets on such globes to separate careless human adventures from their light sources. XP value: 100 gp value: 200 GOBLET OF GLORY: [SO] This magical container appears as a heavy goblet of worked gold, and is similar in some respects to a beaker of plentiful potions. Although it always appears to be empty, the goblet will dispense a clear, glowing liquid when its rim is brought up to the holder's lips and the container is tilted. Draining the goblet takes 1 round; all of the liquid in a dose must be comsumed for it to take effect. During the following round, the liquid affects the drinker as follows: 1d4 hit points of damage that the drinker may have suffered are restored. If the drinker is 12th level or lower, he immediately grows larger (as per a potion of growth, but enlargement is only 6' in height) and temporarialy gains energy levels in the manner of a potion of super-heroism. A member of any character class may recieve this last benefit, but the increase in level applies only to physical combat; thieves do not gain improved thieving skills, spellcasters do not gain spell knowledge or comprehension, and clerics do not receive the level benefit when attempting to turn undead. A character of 13th level or higher who drinks from the goblet will have 1d4 hit points restored, but will not recieve the other benefits--and will be drained of one level of experience. The growth and level gains bestowed by the goblet of glory will last for 4-16 rounds. The goblet will dispense only 1 dose of the liquid per day, and each such item typically contains only 3-36 draughts. When the last of these doses is drunk, the goblet will crumble into dust. The liquid cannot be spilled or removed from the goblet except by drinking. If a drinker is hit by a physical or magical attack, or other-wise interrupted, during the round in which he is consuming the liquid, then that dose is wasted and the goblet cannot be used again until the following day. XP value: 1,250 gp value: 12,000 GREENSTONE AMULET: [SO] These are rare, highly-prized devices, made by some forgotten magical means. They are fist-sized green stones that glow when operating. They are very brittle. These amulets are prized highly throughout the Forgotten Realms and are generally found in the possession of high-level adventureres and experienced diplomats. When worn next to the skin they confer upon the wearer the protection of a mind blank spell, as well as immunity to: chaos, forget, geas, hold person, hypnotism (but not hypnotic pattern or fire charm), mass charm, quest, scare, and sleep. The wearer also gains a +4 saving throw against fumble, ray of emfeeblement, and trip, and is allowed a saving throw against both Otto's irresistible dance and maze spells (if made, the durations are halved, rounding up). These amulets may be worn by any class of character. The protection they give is involuntary (i.e. the wearer cannot communicate telepathically even if she or he desires). Protection only extends to 11-44 (1d4 x 11) spell levels before the amulet is exhausted. (For this purpose, protection against psionic attack drains the levels of the equivalent spell.) The amulet onlly counters the spells (and equivalent psionic powers) listed, and is in no way affected by other spells such as lightning bolt. Pending exhaustion of the amulet is mentally evident to the wearer, and visually evident to others; the amulet blazes fiercy for 4 segments before slowly fading to darkness. The amulet recharges on its own at a rate of 1 spell per turn, but will not counter spells which it lacks sufficient power to negate--it protection is all or nothing. XP value: 5,000 gp value: 30,000 HAND OF REMOTE ACTION: This unusual creation is actually two devices: a gauntlet of steel which will change size to fit the hand of any wearer (halfling through human), and a 'hand' of solid steel which is identical to the gauntlet in size and appearence. The two items are magically linked, so that the hand will mimic all actions of the gauntlet from a distance of 1" per point of wisdom possessed by the wearer. Thus, the wearer of the gauntlet may grasp at empty air and the hand, some distance away, will grasp at an enemy. The positioning and movement of the hand are under the complete control of the gauntlet wearer as long as the hand is within the maximum allowable distance and within sight of the wearer. All attacks made by the hand are at -1 to hit due to the difficulty of accurately judging distances from afar. The hand may transport weapons, but cannot be used to wield them or hurl them; its chief use in in the manipulation of dangerous items and the disarming of traps and locks from a distance. As such, it is particularly suited for use by thieves, although members of all classes may employ the item. The hand, unless its speed is markedly increased (by telekinesis or similar means), does 1-8 points of damage per blow. For purposes of bending bars, opening doors, ect., it has the same effective strenght as the gauntlet wearer. It cannot be destroyed by physical attacks, but will become inert; if it takes blows amounting to 20 points of damage. It can be 'recharged', negating all damage it may have suffered, by bringing it into contact with the gauntlet before the 20 point limit is reached. If it falls inert, either from damage or by must be 'replenished' by keeping it within the maximum distance for a period of one day for each day (or fraction thereof) that it was inert; thus, even a momentary loss of control over the hand will cause it to be useless one day thereafter. The gauntlet and hand cannot be employed in conjunction with any other form of magical gauntlets. The hand cannot be controlled when the wearer is being attacked psionically, or is the target of some form of mind-control magic; however, it will remain functional, and can be used again as soon as the wearer is no longer under mental attack. The hand cannot be damaged by fire, heat, cold, or electricity, but if it is hit by a magical force of one of these sorts, the spell effect will be transmitted at half-strength to the gauntlet wearer. For instance, if the hand is hit by a fireball of 8d6 strength, the gauntlet wearer will take 4d6 of damage, or 2d6 if a saving throw is made. The gauntlet and the hand are not subject to any form of rust or corrosion, including such forces as the attack of a rust monster. XP value: 1,400 gp value: 16,500 HARROWHELM: When first found, this helm appears to be any other sort of normal steel helmet; it radiates magic, however, and faint runes may be seen on the inside of the helm. The consecutive casting of read magic and comprehend languages spells will inform the reader of the general nature of the helm, but not its disadvantages. A bard's legend lore ability or a spell such as identifly, wish, or the like will also work in this fashion. Any non-psionic character who is allowed to wear metallic armor can use this device. The wearer gains the ability to generate a psionic blast (attack strength 101 points) up to three times per day, but only once in any single round. The wearer will also find that the helm grants the use of certain psionic disciplines for as long as it is worn. The disciplines granted vary from one harrowhelm to another: 01-50: One devotion, usuable with 15 strength points per day. 51-85: Two devotions, usuable with 30 strength points per day. 86-98: Three devotions, usuable with 45 strength points per day. 99-00: Two devotions and one science, usuable with 45 strength points per day. The specific psionic disiplines for a helm may be randomly determined or assigned by the DM. The level of mastery at which these powers operate equals one-half the current wearer's level (or one-half the highest level, if multiclassed), rounding down. Thus a 1st-level character cannot make any use of this helm beyond psionic blast generation until he reaches 2nd level. The wearer of the harrowhelm is also immune to all psionic attacks except for psionic blast, but the helm grants +6 bonus to saving throws against this attack form. The harrowhelm has two disadvantages. First, it attracks the attention of all psionic creatures within a half-mile radius as soon as it is put on (whether or not any of its powers are immediately used). Though it does not neccessarialy anger such creatures, it will be easy for these beings to locate and track the helm wearer as long as they stay within this range; they need only concentrate mentally to do this. The second disadvantage manifests itself when a psionic character puts on the helm. The unfortunate wearer will immediately be attacked by a 100-point strength mind thrust. The helm's magic will also neutralize any psionic disability may result from this attack (see the DMG, p. 77, Psionic Attack Upon Defenseless Psionic). This attack will repeated at the start of every subsequent round, though the wearer may remove the helm at any time to prevent more than one attack. XP value: 1,500 (+500/disipline) gp value: 15,000 (+2500/disipline) HASP OF RELOADING: When placed on a bow or crossbow, the hasp attaches itself on command; a second command releases it. If a missle is shot from the device while the hasp is attached, the hasp causes another arrow or quarrel to disappear from the user's quiver and appear in the weapon, nocked and ready to fire. When used on a crossbow, the hasp cocks it so the user need only pull the triger to fire. The hasp does not load magical missiles and can load missiles carried only by the user of the bow or crossbow. XP value: 1,400 gp value: 5,000 HELM OF DARKNESS: [SO] A helm of darkness, or nighthelm, appears as an ancient, battered iron helm (even when newly enchanted), with a great black sapphire of no less than 500,000 gp value set in the brow, and twelve black opals set around the lower edge of the helm. The helm radiates a strong dweomer. Donning the helm will instantly inform the wearer of its powers (it may be worn by all classes and alignments). These are as follows: darkness 15' radius may be called forth 99 times from the great gem (such darkness lasting 9 turns and not banishable by the will of the helm-wearer), and each of the opals will, whenever the wearer fails a saving throw, automatically protect him or her once against the following attack forms, being consumed in the process: death spells (including rays such as those of the beholder and catoblepas), disintegrate, magic jar, and all energy-drain, petrification and polymorph attacks. Removal from the helm destroys the opals. The great helm cannot be recharged, and will explode if any attempt is made to remove or destroy it, disintegrating (as in the spell, save at +1) everything in a 4" radius. The helm will crumble into dust when all of its gems are gone, but until that time the wearer commands the following powers: the ability to see in darkness (including the magical sort) as though normal daylight prevails; immunity to fear and related spells, the aging of ghosts and the "awe" power of dragon auras; the ability to pass without trace during the night (from twilight to twilight)--not usable underground; the ability to erect a curtain of blackness, which can veil the sight against vision-related enchantment/charm attacks such as the gaze of a vampire, dire charm, and similiar spells; speak with dead, usable by the helm-wearer once per day, as a 9th level cleric (if different beings don the helm within a 24-hour period, this power can be used only once--not once for each wearer); chill metal, thrice per day, lasting 7 rounds, and affecting up to 900 gp weight of metal and 4 separate targets; lower temperature in a 15' radius, lasting 4 turns, from 10-40 Fahrenheight degrees; protection causing all cold-based attacks to do half or (if save made) no damage, even including magical cold such as unusual forms as the chilling touch of the lich. XP value: 2,500 gp value: 45,000 HORN OF WAR: [SP] A horn of war is over 5' long, made of roughly carved, gold-colored stone, weighing 120 lbs., and covered with thousands of magical symbols and glyphs related to the art of summoning. Only a non-elven fighter of the 9th level or higher (or ranger of the 11th, or barbarian of the 8th) with constitution and charisma of 14 or higher may properly sound a horn of war; a fighter-type of substandard level or with less than 14 constitution passes out from the strain of attempting to sound it, and an elf or fighter-type with substandard charima is unable to command the creatures the horn summons. The great call of a horn of war carries for 5-20 miles in any weather conditions. It magically summons an army of 10-200 quaggoths, with 10 hp each, in 1-6 turns. The frenzied, battle-crazed mob may be commanded only to attack, which the monsters do until destroyed. If not slain in battle, the quaggoths serve for one hour per level of their summoner before disappearing. Quaggoths summuned but not controlled run amok for 2-12 turns, attacking everyone, before leaving. Three years must pass between each sounding of a horn of war. Regardless of whether the quaggoths are commanded or not, they will slay all elves they see while carrying out their other tasks. XP value: 1,000 gp value: 41,000 HOUSE OF ZEBULON: This magic item is a small stone cube, painted with a door and windows. When the owner desires, he may cause a doorway to appear. Stepping through this doorway carries the person and anyone or anything with him inside the cube to a small apartment of six rooms. Here the person may stay for as long as he wants. He may leave the house at any time by stepping out through the same door. Once a week, he may project the doorway to any location he is familiar with as in the spell teleport. XP value: 5,000 gp value: 10,000 IGOR'S INNER SANCTUM: [S6] This small box (6 x 6 x 6") is sealed with blobs of wax with symbols impressed. (No magic can be detected.) If the seals are broken, the box vanishes forever and a little man appears. He is 4' tall and has thinning hair, a paunch, a round grinning face with a subservient expression, and a voice like Peter Lorre. The little man will grin at the party, then look in another direction and say, "Oh! How nice! Thank you, master!" He will follow the party around, periodically looking into space and asking plaintively, "Now master?" or "Can I, Master?" or "Please master?". On a roll of 1 on 1d6, he will kick a party member in the shins, trip someone, jog their elbow, etc. (On each attack, there is a 50% chance that he will prevent the party from being caught in a trap, attacked by a monster, etc. this will always look accidental.) If 4 turns pass without a favorable die roll, he will begin to whine "Master, you promised!" or he will do something anyway and then cringe and whine "but you didn't say not to, master". He will dodge all attacks successfully, and is 100% magic resistant. Detect spells and true sight, etc. reveal nothing. Nor can his 'master' ever be detected. Igor will follow the party for 10+1d10 days unless he finds something or someone that he would prefer to pester. There is a 10% chance per encounter (cumulative) that he will follow the person or monster encountered. (I.e., on the first encounter he has a 10% chance to switch, on the second, a 20% chance, etc.) Adjustments for party members' charisma are left to the DMO. XP value: Nil gp value: Nil INSTANT RUST: This is a thick reddish-brown paste or polish. One teaspoon of this is sufficient to rust 5 pounds of metal to the crumbling point. Dilute as necessary. When applied with batsticks the dilution is usually such that each hit rusts 1d4 pounds. XP value: 800 gp value: 2,000 IRONS OF IMPRISONMENT: Once locked, these irons do not open unless the proper command word is spoken within 30 feet. They are immune to normal force, all spells except a wish, and all weapon attacks except from a weapon of +4 or better enchantment. XP value: Nil gp value: 4,000 IRONS OF TRANSFERENCE: These irons appear and function as irons of imprisonment in all respects. However, any victim held by the irons for one week or more gains a special power. If the victim concentrates on a creature seen and within 60 feet, that creature must then make a saving throw vs. spells to avoid the magic. If the throw failed, the imprisoned victim and the creature exchange places and clothes (including all equipment carried)! This effect requires no command word any may be attempted once per round until the victim is frees of the irons. XP value: Nil gp value: 4,250 JEWEL OF LIVING SHADOWS: This is a large jewel radiating very bright light. This is likely to be found on an altar with a cloth over it. When uncovered, the light cast will animate the shadows formed, giving each the exact same abilities, weapons, armor and magical items as the people casting the shadow. Otherwise, they are normal hostile shadows and will try to destoy all within the area. When the shadow is killed, all its equipment vanishes. A person who succeeds in killing his shadow will never cast a shadow in any light except the jewel's. Covering the jewel (and blocking the light) will return all shadows to normal...5-8 (4 + 1d4) rounds after the light is covered--during which time the shadows will be fighting very hard to uncover it again. The surviving characters do get experience for the shadows when (if) defeated. XP value: 5,500 gp value: 80,000 LUNAR BROOCH: This piece of jewelery bears the likeness of a crescent moon. If worn by a spell caster, it bestows additional power to any light or continual light spell cast. The light from either spell causes any and all lycanthropes in the area of effect to assume animal form (no saving throw). They remain as animals until they leave the lighted area. The lunar brooch has no command word and operates continously while worn. XP value: 400 gp value: 1,000 LYSENKO'S PLASTER: [S5] This is a magical wall plaster with tiny colored specks in it. The colored specks are magically-shrunken tiles, each inscribed with a symbol of power (death, insanity,etc.) much like the magic-user spell symbol. Anyone looking for secret doors or otherwise examining the wall closely has 10% cumulative per 10 square feet of wall examined to be affected by the symbol, whether they are examining by sight or by touch. Normal saves apply. Normally actively searching for secret doors requires close examination of only 1 square foot of wall (at eye level) per each running foot of wall searched. Thus each 10 feet length searched gives 10% cumulative to be affected. Lysenko recommends color-coding the symbols and using only a single type of symbol per room, so that the chance starts over at 10% in each room: "After all, the owners of the house need to be able to find their own secret doors safely. Knowing where to look, they can find them with only a slight danger of being affected.... Of course they should keep antidotes about too, so to speak...." "I'll never forget the time a band of thieves broke into Lysenk's house and tried a dispell magic on the walls. Because of course it was the shrink spell that was dispelled...." XP value: Nil gp value: 30,000/gallon MAGGORP'S MAGNETIC METAL: This metal created by the Alchemist Maggorp, will stick to any non-living solid substance. Examples are any rocks, any metal, glass, ceramics, dead wood, etc. The metal is affixed by mental thought of a user as to what it is to be stuck to, touching the metal or something attached to it (i.e., rope), and getting the metal within 5' of the target object. Therefore if a wooden door is set in a cliff face, the user may use a MMM grapnel, hooked to a rope, to grab the door and only the door, when getting the grapnel within 5' of the door, and the hok will never stick to the cliff face unless ordered to. The grapnel will only release its hold upon mental command of he person who set it there. Charmed and possesed persons may not set or loosen MMM. The MMM may be shaped into any form by an alchemist who creates it. Some of the most common are the grapnel, the ladder rung, etc. The grapnel, shaped like a flat plate of metal with a loop to tie ropes to, is used as an anchor for ropes, climbing gear, and some for rope bridges. The ladder rung, which is shaped like a |______| with short arms and long base, is to make a almost permanent ladder on anything, or a door handle, etc. MMM is indestructable except by wish, ultimate solution, inorganic solution, spheres of anniliation, etc. It may pull loose if not commanded to only by the material it is attached to giving way, which still leaves clumps of the material stuck to the metal, or the rope, etc. breaking, for its bond may support any weight. XP value: 500 gp value: 1,000/grapnel gp value: 250/ladder rung ======================================================================== The REAL part 8. MANUAL OF CORAL GOLEMS: This tome when read tells how to construct a coral golem. After completion of reading the manual, the reader must start construction of the golem. The construction time is two months. Materials cost 1,000/hit points. The manual may only be used once. XP value: 600 gp value: 4,000 MANUAL OF SUMMONING FAMILIARS: This magical writ appears as any other manual. An inscription inside the cover clearly states that if the contents of the book are read out loud before the casting of a find familiar spell, the spell will summon three potential familiars (each determined at random). The magic user must choose one at once and the others will depart. The manual may only be used once since the words vanish as they are read. The book may not be copied. XP value: 950 gp value: 6,000 MEDALLION OF DEFENSE: This item has two command words: to grow, and to shrink. Upon command, it turns into a normal-sized shield +1. The second command returns it to medallion form. XP value: 300 gp value: 800 MIRROR OF SENDING: This magical mirror will show any scene known to the user. Objects, but not living creatures, can pass through it, spells, however, cannot pass through it. Each turn in which the mirror operates expends one charge. The mirror can have a total of 100 charges. It is also rechargeble. XP value: 1,250 gp value: 2,750 MIRROR OF TRAVEL TYPE I: [SP] A mirrors of travel are large, obviously valuable, highly reflective silver mirrors bordered in gem-encrusted gold. These magical items each function only when set into a sturdy wall. Any character knowing the proper sommand word need only place his hand upon such a mirror, speak the word, and envision any place he has previously "seen casually" (as per the spell teleport in the Player's Handbook). An image of that place appears in the mirror, and the character is teleported there, arriving as if the place had been "studied carefully" (again, as per the teleport spell). The image stays in the mirror for three rounds after the character departs, and during this time anyone touching the mirror similarly teleports to the area it presents. This device ia quite fragile and will break (and become useless) if it fails a saving throw against any attack form. A mirror of traveling type I can reveal and send its viewer to places only within its own plane of existence. XP value: 4,000 gp value: 15,000 MIRROR OF TRAVEL TYPE II: [SP] Although indistinguishable from a mirror of travel type I, a mirror of travel type II is a vastly superior magical item that requires an intelligence score of at least 18 to operate. Teleportation through this device is without error, and the mirror's activator may take any number of characters with him, as long as their hands are linked at the time of departure. The destination's image in the mirror disappears instantly after teleportation. This mirror is just as fragile as its lesser cousin and is activated in the same way. Additionally, a mirror of travel type II can function as a crystal ball with twice the usual viewing time and frequency, and it accrues on penalty when viewing into planes that are one removed from that which are one removed from that which contains the mirror. It allows travel to once-removed planes as well, provided the mirror's activator has previously "seen casually" the place to which he whishes to teleport. This item must be set into a sturdy wall, or it will not function. It may only be used by magic-users. XP value: 8,000 gp value: 50,000 MIST OF RAPTURE: [SO] The art of making this rose-colored gas is lost in antiquity. Usually found in fragile glass globes or small metal vials, the mist wafts out when released to form a spherical cloud. The diameter of the cloud varies from 15 to 45 feet depending upon the amount of gas. The vapors are heavy, and remain in this volume for 1-4 days in dead air; they drift very slowly with any air currents (typically 1/2" a round). The vapors are damp and cling to clothing and skin. Any human breathing the mist writhes in pleasure from 1d6 rounds (1-3 rounds if saving throw verses breath weapon is made), oblivious to all his surroundings. Affected persons blissfully ignore danger, and even physical attack does not arouse them. The mist closes minds to all other stimuli, and thus confers a temporary immunity to magical attacks involving will forse (such as charm, magic jar, suggestion, etc.). Unless restrained, those affected drop everything they carry and sink to the floor, twisting and shuddering. Anyone in telepathic contact (or even psionic combat) with a person breathing the mist is also affected, for the same duration. However, non-humans are immune to the vapors (though alchemists who discover the formula should be able to make it affect any single race). During the round after rapture has ended, movement is slow (half speed) and clumsy (no dexterity bonuses apply); such characters never win initiative over more alert creatures, and are easily (1-5 on 1d6) surprised. XP value: 200 gp value: 9,000 MUG OF PLENTY: [SQ] This device is a large clay beer mug. When a sommand word is spoken, it immediately fills with light or dark ale or thick mead, as the user wishes. When drained, the command word will cause it to fill again. While not particularly useful on adventures (although you never know...), this is perhaps the most popular magical item among the isles. XP value: 50 gp value: 2,000 MULTIVERSAL BOX: [S5] A cardboard box bearing the logo of the Multiversal Trading Corporation. This is a 'knock-down' type corrugated box--usually found folded flat. When it is refolded into the shape of a box, three small printed circles may be noticed on the inside bottom--just the right size for coins. If a coin is placed on one of the circles, it will vanish and a voice will say "Hello, Multiversal Trading Company--Catalog Order Department. May we help you?" Thereafter, when the correct number of coins (gold, silver, etc) are placed on the circles, they will vanish and the ordered item will appear in the box. Exactly which Multiversal Services and Products are available via the box is, of course, the Dungeon Master's Option and may change hourly (since Import-Export rules are always subject to change). Tariffs require 25% surcharge for delivery, a policy of cash sales only and no appraisals, anayses, message services or sales of magic items. These boxes are not available on the open market. They are supplied by Multiversal to preferred customers only. Each box will normally (95%) function properly and deliver the correct item in good condition. However, if the box has been damaged, the chanced for funbles will rise (i.e., once the box got wet and Pietro used it when it was only 85% dry. This gave 20% for a fumble, and it did--Pietro's new blanket arrived soaking wet. This made the box 50% wet again...). XP value: 8,000 gp value: 75,000 NADAR'S EVERFUL SAFETY LAMP: [S5] This item looks like a normal oil lamp, and is always full. Engraved on it is the words 'Nadar Mfg'. This lamp never runs out of oil, may be adjusted to illuminate any radius from 5' to 60', or to send a beam as narrow as desired (minimum 1' diameter at end for every 10' length of beam). It has the following safety features: shatterproof (saves as stone), cannot spill in any position, cannot explode, cannot ignite any other object (flame produces no heat). XP value: 30 gp value: 250 NECKLACE OF ALTERATION: [S9] This mystical item appears to be a cheap necklace, like any other sort of magical necklace, until put on. It then turns into a chain of silver with twelve small globes of undentifiable material suspended from it. Each globe appears identical to the others, but if a globe is pulled free of the necklace (which may be done in one round), the globe turns into a particular type of material and the wearer's body takes on the appearance and armor class of that substance. Though an identify spell, wish, or similar magic effect will reveal something about the nature of the necklace, no magic will be able to divine which globe of the necklace will have which effect. Each of the twelve globes has a different effect. Once removed, a globe cannot be replaced on the necklace; its effects last for 2-8 turns and cannot be dispelled. Only after one globe's effect is ended can another globe be removed from the necklace. The necklace cannt be removed while its wearer is under the effect of one of the globes, except by the casting of remove curse or wish, in which case the entire necklace will vanish--but the effect currently taking place will still run its course. The necklace can be taken off, exchanged, and put on at will as long as one of the globes is not activated at the time. Anything being worn or carried by the user of the necklace that normally affects his armor class will be overridden by the effect of a globe for as long as that effect lasts. When a globe is pulled from the necklace, the DM should roll d12 and consult the following table to determine the composition of the globe and the armor class bestowed on the wearer of the necklace, as well as the wearer's temporary skin and hair color. Re-roll to prevent duplicate results, perhaps using smaller die (d10, d8, etc.) when several of the globes become used up. Die roll Material & color Armor class 1 Sanstone; light brown 8 2 Mithral; blue-silver 0 3 Gold; gold 6 4 Iron; dull grey 1 5 Platinum; silver 4 6 Granite; dull grey & red 3 7 Coal; dull black 9 8 Salt; dull white 10 9 Bronze; bronze 2 10 Admantite; green-silver -1 11 Lead; dark grey 5 12 Wood; brown 7 The necklace of alteration can be worn and used by any member of any character class or any humanoid of S or M size. Once used, the globes are generally worthless except as curios. The globes of glod, platinum, mithral, and adamantite have values of 1, 5, 20, and 50 gp respectively. XP value: 1,000 gp value: 5,000 NECKLACE OF BAD TASTE: Though sages argue that this item is more correctly called a necklace of tasting bad, the common name has stuck. This appears to be a magical necklace of unspecified nature until fastened around someone's neck. Immediately, the necklace causes the wearer to emit a terrible odor from his skin. All characters and most monsters within a 10' radius of the wearer will become so uncomfortable with the smell that they must save vs. poison at +2 or become nauseated and unable to attack or defend themselves for 1-4 rounds. Even if the save is made, those within the 10' radius will suffer a -2 penalty on all to hit rolls for as long as they remain in that area. The real value in owning such a necklace becomes apparent when one is attacked by a monster that bites at prey. The necklace affectes any living creatures that is native to the Prime Material Plane. If a monster meeting that description bites the wearer of a necklace of bad taste, the monster will immediately suffer an attack of nausea (no saving throw) and will be unable to attack again for 2-5 rounds (though the creature can flee at half normal speed). That monster will not again bite the person wearing the necklace, but claw, tail, or missle attacks may be used if such are possible for the attacker. One of every four of these necklaces are cursed so that they cannot be unlocked from the wearer's neck once fastened in place. Only a wish will remove a cursed necklace of bad taste. XP value: 500 gp value: 1,000 OYSTER CHEST: This item appears to be a small, square, wooden chest, 2' in length along any side. The inside of the chest is lined with red velvet, which has numerous soft, cushiony folds. Hidden between the folds is a command word, inscribed on the velvet itself. If from 1-5 grains of sand are placed within the folds inside the box and the command word is spoken, the chest will magically lock itself and will not open again until the command word is spoken again. During the time that the chest is locked, it will begin turnign the grains of sand into perfectly formed, non-magical pearls. For each consecutive day that the box is left undisturbed, each pearl will increase in value by about 3 gp. Thus, after a week (of 10 days) each pearl would be worth about 30 gp; after a month (of 30 days), each would be worth about 90 gp. If the box is left unopenend for longer than a year, there is a 1% cumulative chance per day thereafter that the growing pearls will become misshapen and worthless. Casting a dispel magic spell on the chest will not open it, but successfully casting a knock spell against 14th-level magic will do so. However, the growing pearls inside will immediately disintegrate and be worthless. If the chest is ever broken, it will lose all of its magical properties forever. XP value: 1,500 gp value: 15,000 PASQUALI'S PERFECT POLISH: Pasquali's Polish is normally used in some area where unwary movement can have disasterous results: near another trap, a dangerous drop... used on a moderately smooth surface, such as stone or metal, it produces a mirror-like finnish that is absolutely slick and frictionless. Even spider climbing, webs, etc. cannot get purchace on it. A character who steps or falls on it will slide for at least 50'. He cannot stop or change directions unless throwing something or shooting a bow, etc. If the polish is on a slope, damage at the bottom will be 1d6 for every 10 feet vertical distance. Feather fall will work. It is usually found in cans or containers in repair centers of dungeons, or bought on the open market, for many uses. It apears as a liquid that is silver and twice as fast a mercury. A gallon of it is enough to cover 3,000 sq. ft., or 10 square yards. XP value: 1,000 gp value: 5,000/gallon PEARL BEAD: Upon command, this bead turns into a perfect pearl of 10,000 gp value. It remains magical, however, and may or may not fool a jeweler. It disintegrates three hours after becoming a pearl. XP value: 2,200 gp value: 55,000 POISON BALLOON: When burst, this balloon releases a colorless, poisonous gas in a sphere of 10-foot radius. Each victim within range must make a saving throw vs, poison or die. Its potency can be increases so that it causes a saving throw penalty of up to -8. XP value: Nil gp value: 2,000 POLYCHROMATIC TENT: This white tent can be commanded to change its color. Any single color can be named, or the tent can be commanded to blend. If so, it assumes the appearence of its surroundings--grainy and sand-colored in the desert, green and brown in the woods, etc. Thepoly chromatic tent is always white when not pitched. XP value: 400 gp value: 2,000 PRAYER BEAD: This valuable item allows a cleric to exchange one known spell (not yet cast) for another if both are of the same level spell. For example, if the cleric knows detect magic but needs cure light wounds, the cleric amy use the bead to forget detect magic and gain knowledge of cure light wounds. The new spell maybe cast as soon as desired. The cleric need not be fully rested to use the bed. After changing one spell the bead disintegrates. XP value: 300 gp value: 900 QUILL OF SCROLL CREATION: This enchanted writing implement is of great use to a magic-user or illusionist attemptinf to enscribe a magical spell scroll. It gives its user a 10% bonus to the chance of successfully writing a spell onto a scroll. The quill is only good for six uses (six spells), and loses its magical properties when the sixth spell is finished. Each usage counts against the quill's capacity, whether or not the spell in question was sucessfully transfered to the scroll. If the quill is used along with a special ink that is attuned to the item, the chance of success in the preparation of a scroll spell is increased by an additional 10%. The manufacture of this ink is a costly and time-consuming process, taking at least a week and requiring ingredients of at least 1,000 gp in value to make enough ink to last for six usages. This special ink must be mixed with the ink that particular scroll normally requires. A bottle of this ink will never be discovered by itself. XP value: 250 (500 with ink) gp value: 600 (1,000 with ink) QUILL OF TRANSCRIBING: This magical quill can only be used by magic users. Upon utterance of a suitable command word (DMO), a magic quill will write everything the user says, until he utters the command word again. The quill creates its own ink, but otherwise it acts as a normal quill. It will transcribe spoken spells onto spell books or scrolls using the corret magical ink. Its range is 20' but will write any and every word spoken even if the caster does not desire the words which are spoken (like a henchmen shouting for his master, or voices from another room) within the range. XP value: 5,000 gp value: 25,000 RHUN'S HORNED CLOAK: [SO] This garment acts as a +2 cloak of protection, and is dark brown or russet in color. The wearer of this cloak can pass without trace at will. The cloak is hooded, and upon the hood are mounted two long horns resembling those of a bull. The cloak allows the wearer to take the form of a bull (shape change) up to 6 times a day (24-hour period) and change back again at will. However, every round spent in bull form, there is a 1% (not cumulative) chance that the cloak will vanish forever, trapping the wearer in bull form. This condition may be rectified by dispel magic, shape change (which leaves the cloak wearer in his or her original form when it expires), or wish-related spells. Only M-sized creatures may wear these cloaks so as to employ their powers. Some cloaks have a visor-like face mask allowing the wearer infravision (corresponding to his or her normal range of sight), and 20% of these cloaks have a prehensile tail mounted in the cloak's back, between the wearer's shoulders. This tail is under the mental control of the wearer, and can wield a weapon, item, or shield simultaneously with normal two-handed combat at no dexterity penalty. Actions requiring fingers (such as picking locks, drawing bows, etc.) are not possible with the tail. XP value gp value Horns: 2,000 7,000 Visor: 2,200 7,500 Tail: 2,500 10,000 RUST DUST: [S9] Rust dust looks like a fine metallic powder similar to dust of appearance or other magical dusts. It is usually contained in small silk pouches for dispersal by hand, or in hollow bone tubes for spreading by blowing through the tube. If it is shaken out by hand, one pouch will cover a 10' radius area; dust blown from a tube will create a 20' long core, 1' wide at te start and 15' wide at the end. From 1-10 containers of either sort may be found at one time. Any non-precious metallic materials within the area of effect of rust dust will rust (or otherwise deteriorate) and fall into useless scraps one round after being contacted by the dust. Precious metals (gold, platinum, and silver for instance) are not affected. Objects of iron, copper, bronze, tin, and similar metals or alloys thereof--including mithral and adamantite--will be affected automatically if the of which the metal is made is non-magical. Magic items (swords, armor, shields, rings of protection, etc.) must save as if struck by a rust monster, gaining 10% chance to withstand the dust for every 'plus' of enchantment; thus, 1 +4 sword has a 40% chance of not corroding. Magical items without a 'plus' ratig, such as an iron flask, iron golem, or ring of spell storing, have a 10% chance to save against the dust. All such saving throws must be re-rolled every time a new dose of rust dust is encountered. XP value: 1,000 gp value: 5,000 SCEPTER OF DEFENSE: [S9] The Scepter of Defense is a rod like instrument about 3' long, with a handgrip on one end. It may be use by all fighter classes, clerics, druids, thieves, assassins, and monks as a parrying device. When it is used in combat against a human, demi-human, or humaniod opponent, the scepter may be wielded to cause all attakcs against the user to be made at a -4 penalty to hit. The scepter can parry two attacks in one melee rouund, regardless of the user's level, so long as the attacks come from the user's front and sides. Attacks made from the rear cannot be parried. The scepter is useless as a parrying implement against non-humanoid creatures like dragons or black puddings, against blows from humanoid creatures larger than an ogre, and agianst attacks from creatures using weaponless combat (such as ogrillions, trolls, or wrestlers). The user's strength bonus to hit (if any) may be subtracted from the opponent's chance to hit the scepter's wielder. No sort of attack can be made in the same ound that the scepter is used as a parying device. The scepter will function as a +1 club if used offensively. And, so long as it is carried, it confires a +1 bonus to the holder's saving throw vs. all magical effects. This bonus is cumulative with other saving throw bonuses, as per a ring of protection. XP value: 1,000 gp value: 4,000 SHADOW HAT: [S6] This slouch hat has a wide brim. No one can quite name its color--maybe gray, maybe tan...? It will fit anyone. The wearer will realize that he now has the power to cloud men's minds (and monsters')--i.e., a 50% chance to hide in shadows or to approach unseen. (This is in addition to whatever percentage he had already.) He will also feel an irrestible urge at various times to say in a deep hollow voice, "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The shadow knows!" and follow this with a deep, drawn out cackling laugh, (save on wisdom once per 3 turns or once per 5 melee rounds if under stress,) what the percentages are of this attracting monsters, enemies, etc. are left to the judgement of the DM. XP value: 700 gp value: 10,000 SOAP OF WASHING: This small browinsh cake of soap will, when placed in a bucket or tub of water, dissolve completely. The water then becomes magical; any item or creature placed within or doused by the water becomes completely clean. The soap removes all normal and magicl dyes and can even remove curses. However, it affects only curses removable by a remove curse spell from a caster of the 15th level or less. The soap washes any number of normal items, its effect lasting one hour; it washes away up to three magical stains or dyes or one curse. Magical water removed from the container immediately becomes nonmagical. XP value: 600 gp value: 5,000 SOLES OF VALOR: These sturdy well polished boots give the wearer a +1 to hit, damage, saves, morale, etc., but the wearer can never run from a fight. XP value: 1,000 gp value: 4,000 SPECTACLES OF SIGHT: [DUNGEON 11] These delicate crystal lenses are fitted into a gold wire frame worth 550 gp. The crystals themselves are worth 100 gp each. Looking through the lenses allows the wearer to see all objects and creatures masked my invisibility spells and common illusions. The wearer is immune to phantasmal forces and similar visual illusions, and the effects of color spray, continual light, and eyebite spells. The wearer is not susceptible to the effects of mirror image or blur spells, though cause blindness and power word blind spells havenormal effect. The wearer of the spectacles of sight can read magic (as the spell). Spells that affect the mind (hold, charm, and feeblemind, to name a few) have normal effect on the wearer. A shatter spell cast upon the spectacles while worn destroys the lenses and inflicts 2-12 hp damage on the wearer, with an 85% chance of becomming permanently blind (until removed by a cure blindness, heal, or wish spell). XP value: 3,500 gp value: 15,000 STAAFLIA'S WIRE: This trap appears as a tangled bundle of gold wire, radiates CN magic. Any magic item in 10' radius of this automatically fumbles on anything but a natural 20. The wire may easily be cut or torn apart, but any piece will have the same effect as the whole. Untangling any size bundle of wire takes 10-110 minutes, after which it has no effect until tangled again (will retangle itself in 2-6 hours). XP value: 4,500 gp value: 10,000 STONE OF DRYWELLS: [SP] Appearing exactly like a stone of the well, a stone of drywells causes any well into which it is placed to dry up immediately; likewise, all wells within a one-mile radius of a stone of drywells also dry up imediately. This item counters a stone of the well, and no new well dug in the area of effect of a stone of drywells will yeild water, even if the ground is saturated. Once activated, an exorcism is required to be rid of this maleific stone's influence. XP value: Nil gp value: 5,000 STONE OF MYSTERIOUS SOUNDS: This stone apears to be similar to any other magical stone, though it is malleable and can be easily grasped and reshaped by a human hand. The stone cannot be pulled apart into similar stones, and it has only limited elasticity. Each such stone weighs 50 gp. A character may hurl this stone up to 30'. If the character's strength is 15 or greater, the stone will stick to whatever non-living surface it strikes (roll to hit agains AC 6). The stone will remain stuck to that surface until it is pulled off (which doesn't require any special strength roll). Three segments after it sticks to a surface, the stone will emit one of a number of sounds. The stone will broadcast this sound until it is pulled free of the surface to which it is stuck. A character may also fit the stone onto a solid surface (requireing a strength of 15 or better, but no to hit roll), then strike the stone with a heavy blunt object to start the sound production (again, not requiring a to hit roll). The stone of mysterious sounds is useful for distracting and deterring opponents from persuit, to allow the characters to escape or gain time for other actions. Each time the stone is activated, a roll must be made on the following table to determine what sund it produces. Dice Noise produced Dice Noise produced 01-04 creaking 53-56 screaming* 05-08 buzzing bees 57-60 animal growling 09-12 groaning* 61-64 birds chirping 13-16 footsteps 65-68 horns (musical) 17-20 ocean waves on beach 69-72 steady rain 21-24 stones grinding 73-76 wind chimes 25-28 laughter* 77-80 fighting (swords clashing, shouts, etc.)* 29-32 coughing* 81-84 speech** 33-36 sneezing* 85-88 whistling* 37-40 muffled whispering* 89-92 chains rattling 41-44 whip cracks 93-96 crying* 45-48 fingers snapping 97-00 wind blowing 49-52 mumbled chanting* *--The race of the person(s) making the sound cannot be determined, and no intellegible speech will be discerned. **--The race of the person(s) speaking can be determined using the random languages table in the DMG, p. 102. The content of the speech may be determined by the DM as desired. XP value: 500 gp value: 5,000 STONE OF THE WELL: [SP] A stone of the well is highly prized in villages and castles located on dry plains and deserts. In spite of the facts that these items command prizes as high as 50,000 gp in dry regions, and wars are sometimes fought for their possession, stones of the well are worthless over much of the world. Such an item appears as a perfectly spherical black granite rock with a smooth surface. If functions when placed within a well at least 30' deep, as long as the stone is covered by at least 2' of standing water. The stone immediately fills its well to a depth halfway between its bottom and upper rim, and similarly fills and maintains all wells within a one-mile radius. The water produced by a stone of the well is pure and refreshing. No well within one mile of the stone will run dry. A stone of the well placed in a totally dry well will not function until covered with water. XP value: 5,000 gp value: 50,000 STRING OF WARDING: On command, this small piece of string may be stretched as long as 50 feet. If tied to two upright objects (such as trees), it prevents certain objects and creatures from passing between it and the ground; a maximum of 1,000 square feet of space can be affected (20 feet high, 50 feet wide). The string of warding cannot block spells but prevents the passage of all nonliving items (including missiles) and all creatures of 3 hit dice or less. Other creatures may make a saving throw vs. spells to break through the effect (but not the string). If the string is tied and looped in an attempt to ward a space more then once, it has no effect and can be easily broken, which destroys the magical permanenlty. It can, however, be tied so as to enclose a horizontal area (for example, around an outdoor encampment). If any creature is between the string and the ground when it is tied in place, the string wards against items only. XP value: 625 gp value: 3,350 TABARD OF THE MYSTICS: [SO] This garment is typically green with golden trim, having a stiff stand-up flared collar, and may be worn over armor. Its construction is expensive (powered gold and serpentine, for example, must be worked into the fibers of the cloth), difficult, and known only to a few. Tabards may be worn by any class, and have the following properties: they will not burn, and all fire damage suffered by the wearer is reduced by 1 point per die. Wearers are immune to the effects of a scabbard of insanity, and gain saving throw bonuses of +1 vs. a magic jar attack, and +4 vs. all enchantment/charm spells. A symbol may be cast upon the tabard (typically upon the breast), and rendered invisible (inoperative) until it is touched and a command word is spoken, or until the garment is removed from the wearer without a command word being spoken. In any case, the wearer or owner is immune to the effects of the symbol. Magic-users wearing a tabard may open a wizard-locked or held door or portal as though they are a level higher in experience. XP value: 2,000 gp value: 15,000 TANNING OINTMENT: This salve causes the recipient's skin to turn a bright color determined randomly (1d10) from red, yellow, orange, blue, green, brown, purple, silver, gold, or white. The efffect cannot be removed but gradually wears off in 1-4 years. XP value: Nil gp value: 500 THROWING IRONS: These irons may be throw as far as 60 feet. The user can throw one pair at a time (either manacles or shackels, each pair chained together). The victim of the throwing irons must make a saving throw vs. spells or be entrapped. Any creature of giant strength can easily break the chain by force in one round. Each manacle and shackle has anormal lock, which may be picked if that skill is successfully used. The throwing irons can be used as often as desired. XP value: 500 gp value: 2,000 TRUMPET OF DOOM: [SO] This item is a magical horn, similar in appearance to a horn of valhalla. Some specimens of this item appear to be battered, a few semingly about to fall apart. It the trumpet of doom is winded, all human, demi-human, and humaniod skeletons and corpses within a 60' radius about the horn will be brought into unlife, as per the spell animate dead. All of the dead will obey the bearer of the horn without question, to the utmost of their ability. The greater the number of undead animated, however, the shorter the time that they will remain active. If only one skeleton or zombie is animated, it will remain active for 60 hours under the hornbearer's control. If two are animated, they will be active for 30 hours, three will be active for 20 hours, and if 4 or more skeletons and/or zombies are activated, they will be animated for only 10 hours before they collapse again. The undead created by the trumpet of doom may be commanded to 'go down!' (at which they will disintegrate into dust) if the user of the horn wishes it; otherwise, the undead will serve until destroyed, dispelled, or their time runs out. Use of a trumpet of doom is not considered to be a good act, though sounding it to test its properties is not evil. The trumpet of doom may only be sounded once per month. Using it more often will produce no results. XP value: 900 gp value: 5,000 WADDINGTON'S DROP CLOTHS: [S5] These paint-stained drop-cloths, with many stains that look like drops of wet cemet had dried on the cloth (resistant to Zimbavich's Rock Paint). These drop cloths are used to protect things from Rock Paint while work is being done. They are especially interesting in their effects on organic matter. This is best illustrated by example: A party entered a room and found five chairs covered with drop-cloths and a large table not covered. Also in the room were cans of Rock Paint, brushes and a ladder. On the floor was a sixth drop-cloth in a crumpled heap. The covered chairs appeared to be empty. When the party decided to pull a drop-cloth off of one of the chairs, they found an orc oficer sitting in the chair and were immediately attacked by him. (The painter had interrupted a conference and covered the conferees with the cloths--which put them in subspace stasis until the clothes were lifted. The painter was under a drop cloth at the end of the table--he'd slipped!) To date, no-one has tried to keep one of the drop cloths. XP value: 1,000 gp value: 60,000 WHEEL OF KEENING: [SM] This enchanted sharpening wheel makes a pleasant, almost musical sound when used. Any blade sharpened by this device gains a +1 bonus to attack rolls and damage for one round when next used in battle. The magic lasts one day or until the blade is used for normal cutting or carving. The blade itself does not radiate magic even while the bonus is in effect. XP value: 500 gp value: 9,000 YOKE OF BOAR HARNESSING: [SQ] These rare devices are of druidic design and can be used to harness a pair of boars or giant boars to the will of the bearer. Such boars can be harnessed to a chariot, cart, plow, or other towed object. Alternatively, the harness can be separated into two pieces, mastering two boars for riding purposes. Creatures larger than dwarves or elves can ride only giant boars. The harnessed boar responds to all of the commands of the bearer, but it does not receive any magical increase in intelligence. Thus tasks that could normally be learned by the creature can automatically be performed while under the harness, but the boar cannot perform unusually complicated tasks. XP value: 1,000 gp value: 9,000 YOKE OF FLIGHT: [SQ] This large yoke can be used to harness a pair of horses. When in use, the horses have the power of flight and can pull a chariot through the air at a speed of 36". To take off, the chariot must race in a straight line at a speed of at least 12" per round. When the command word is spoken, the vehicle lifts off the ground and soars into the air. It must travel at least 12" per turn to remain airborne; at a slower speed it automatically crashes. The chariot flies with Maneuverability Class E. Landing requires a straight path at least 18" long. It takes two rounds to slow down enough to maneuver freely of the ground. XP value: 3,000 gp value: 20,000 YOKE OF UNDERWATER FAMILIAR: [SQ] This yoke, like the yoke of flight enables a pair of horses to carry a chariot through a medium it could not normally enter. In this case, the environment is water. The horses can pull the chariot at their normal movement rate. The horses have no difficulty breathing, nor do any riders who remain upon the chariot. XP value: 2,000 gp value: 15,000 ZIMBAVICH'S ROCK PAINT: [S5] This item is almost always found in paint cans, ususally labeled rock paint. These cans of paints are often found where repair work is being done. The paint is the same color as the natural rock in the dungeon. When the cans are opened, the paint will turn to stone in 10-30 minutes. Any object painted with this will turn to stone in 2 rounds. (Save vs. stoning applies--but must be repeated each round until the paint is washed off.) This paint is used extensively in dungeons to repair damaged sontework and rock walls. There is a 25% chance that brushes, ladders and other equipment will be found in the vicinity. XP value: 1,000 gp value: 15,000/gallon ========================================================================= This is the LOOONG magic Item list, section 9 of 9. (AT LAST!!!!) ARMOR & SHIELDS ANIMATED ARMOR: [S4] Although it looks like and provides the protection of normal plate armor, this suit is enchanted with two functions. Once per day, upon the exertion of extreme effort, it automatically adds to the wearer's strength. The extent of augmentation is 10 points, with each remaining point adding 10% after 18 is reached, 1% after 18(90). The second function is automatically in force when the suit is unworn. A rudimentary intelligence comes to awareness, and will follow instructions, provided they are not too complex. Note that anyone may program the suit, so if the owner removes it without giving it orders, he may be asking for trouble. the suit's mind understands combat well, and will battle as a 10th level fighter if ordered to (after which it must rest for a full day before using any of its powers). Once, and only once, the owner may call upon the suit to perform extraordinarily. It will do so, but will then fall to pieces, which can be reassembled by a armorer into servicable, but mundane, suit of plate armor. XP value: 4,000 gp value: 25,000 ARMOR OF ACIDIC SECRETION: [S2] This cursed armor appears to be normal magical armor, but it gives no benefit to the wearer in combat (though this will not be known to the wearer). This armor is found either as a suit of banded mail (25%), splint mail (25%), or plate mail (50%). From the moment that the wearer first suffers damage while using this suit, the armor and any padding used with it secrete a corrosive acid for 1-20 rounds, doing 1-4 hp damage to the wearer each round (no saving throw). it takes a full turn (10 rounds) to remove this suit of armor, and it will continue doing acidic damage during that entire time (if the secreation duration is still in effect). Due to the nature of the acid, the burns, blisters, etc., left by such wounds cannot be removed except by a wish, alter reality, or tempus fugit spell, although normal rest and healing will recover lost hit points. The damage can only be stopped otherwise if the armor is destroyed by a magical attack (e.g., by a blue dragon's breath or by a rust monster). XP value: Nil gp value: 2,000 DRAGONHELM: [S9] Dragonhelms were created for warriors who wished to have some of the special aura and powers of dragonkind. All such helms appear to be normal metallic helmets until worn; then they take on their true form of steel, with inlays of precious metals and gemstones. Some of these helms have dragonlike features or engravings on them. All fighter types, clerics (but not druids), and bards are able to wear these helmets. When worn, a dragonhelm confers infravision on the wearer to a range of 60', and the wearer's senses are so heightened by the helm's powers that invisible, ethereal, astral, out-of-phase, and hidden objects become detectable at a range of 10' per user's level (if multiclassed or dual classes, the user's highest level as a fighter or cleric is considered). The wearer may also radiate fear once per day at will. The aura will cause all beings (even allies) within 120' (12" indoors or 4" outdoors) to save vs. spell, with wisdom bonus applicable, or flee from the wearer in terror for 3-12 rounds. This fear aura has no effect on beings with six or more hit dice/levels. The helm counts as +3 armor (or +3 to the AC1 aforded by a great helm for armor pieces) against all head-directed attacks (such as those made by vorpal weapons), and saves as hard metal with a +3 bonus to the die roll. It does, however, have certain disadvantages. Because certain items like dragon scales and bone are incorporated into the helm's making and he helm draws power from them, certain elements of a dragon's personality will begin showing up in the wearer. After keeping it in continuous use for one month (putting it on every day, even if for only a moment), the wearer will begin to hoard money and valuables, refusing to part with the smallest bronze piece unless absolutely necessary. The wearer will spend less and less on equipment, food, and clothing. Instead, the wearer will try to get other people to purchase such items, or may turn to theft and robbery if the character is neutral or evil. The wearer will also be less likely to respect or even listen to the opinions of others, will grow increasingly egotistical, and will tend to want to lead rather than follow. After the wearer uses this item continuously for two months or longer, he must make a saving throw vs. spells each time the dragonhelm is donned or become permanently afflicted with megalomania. Another disadvantage is this: If the wearer comes within 120 yards of a true dragon, the wearer will find such a creature irresistible and will obey the commands as if charmed. This effect usually ends immediately if the helm is removed, but if the wearer has used the helm continuously for more than one month, the charm effect will last for 1-4 days even after the helm is removed. If the wearer has megalomania, the charm is permanent. Dragons generally know all about dragonhelms, and sometimes leave them lying about in their treasure hoards for unwary adventures to find and use. XP value: 2,000 gp value: 25,000 TESS' ARMOR: [S5] This is a set of bright red plate mail, field plate, full plate, or bronze plate, decorated with yellow flames. Functions as +3 armor, no emcumbrance, any heat or fire attack does half usual damage. Whenever the wearer has cause for anger he must save on wisdom -7 or the suit will burst into flame for 1d4 rounds. During this time any person touching it will take 1d6 damage and any weapon must save vs. magic or melt. The wearer and his own weapons etc. are not affected, and the wearer will not see the flames or be aware that anything unusual is happening. XP value: 9,000 gp value: 90,000 SHIELD OF DRAGON PROTECTION: [S2] This shield had magical runes across its front and back rim which spell out the word dragon. The runes are magical, so that anyone who reads them will see the word written in his native tounge. Whenever a dragon comes within 30" of the shield, the word "dragon" will glow softly for one segment, then fade. The shield of dragon protection is normally an item of +3 in protective power, but it confers +5 protection from all non-magical dragon attacks (including claws and bite). If the word dragon is spoken aloud by the shield's bearer, in the language in which the word appears to be written on the shield, the whole shield begins to glow with the effect of a light spell and an additional bonus is conferred. If the bearer makes his saving throw vs. the dragon's breath weapon, he will take no damage from it, and only half damage will be taken if the saving throw is failed. Finally, the shield gives a +3 bonus to the bearer's saving throw against any magical spells cast by dragons against him, as per a ring of protection. XP value: 1,100 gp value: 11,000 VEST OF STEEL: The vest of steel is a magical piece of armor that is counted as armor (magic-users can't wear them), it gives the wearer an AC of 1, and may be worn over normal non-magical, ring, studded, padded, or leather. For Armor pieces, the shoulders, chest, and abdomen are AC -1, and the rest of the body is 5 if no armor is worn, or -3 to the regular AC of the other areas. XP value: 2,000 gp value: 25,000 SWORDS GUARDIAN BLADE: This blade does not normally glow. Its chief function is to lie upon or beside the sleeping character and warn of approaching danger. It can detect enemies like a wand of enemy detection within a 2" sphere. Upon detecting an enemy, the guardian will flash a single burst of light, telepathically alert its owner, and go out. This power can be used but once per day, and will operate continuously for a period of up to six hours. It may be used while the character is awake and moving but once-used it will not function again for twenty-four hours. XP value: 1,600 gp value: 8,000 SWORD OF INTERCESSION: [S1] This magical weapon is a holy (or unholy) sword that always has an alignment and a patron deity. A character of any alignment may wield a sword of intercession, but it will function as a normal, non-magical weapon. A character of the same alignment as the sword may wield it as a +2 weapon. A character who worships the sword's patron deity may wield it as a +4 sword, and in addition gains a 5% magic resistance and a +2 bonus on all saving throws so long as the sword is held or carried. Such a character will also be able to commune with his deity once per week, asking one yes-or-no question at that time. The sword will not work for those who have only converted to their new alignment or religion within the last year. XP value: 1,000 gp value: 5,000 SWORD OF THE NIGHT, +1: [S1] Though most magical swords shed light, a sword of night, also known as a black sword, sheds darkness. The sword's wielder determines the radius of the sphere of darkness given off by the sword; it can be from 5' to 25', in 5-foot increments. Within this radius, all creatures but the sword's wielder will be unable to see and will suffer a -4 penalty to hit on their attacks, as well as losing any armor class bonus for dexterity. Infravision and ultravision are similarly useless within this radius. The sword's user may see normally in all respects, however, and can use the sword as a +1 weapon to hit and on damage. The sword can also cause fear in all creatures within the darkness who fail a saving throw vs. spell (with wisdom bonuses applicable). This fear power is generated at the wielder's unspoken command, and may be produced up to three times per day. Creatures affected by the fear will move away from the darkness at full speed for 2-7 rounds. A light spell cast at the sword will negate all of its powers (except for its +1 combat bonus) for one round per level of the caster, if the sword fails to save vs. lightning (as hard metal). A continual light spell negates the darkness powers for twice as long, and the save is made at a -3 penalty. XP value: 700 gp value: 3,500 SWORD OF PERCIVAL IRONHEART: [S5] This sword radiates Lawful Good magic and is +2 vs. evil opponents. It can speak Common and LG and can detect gold within 60'. In a pitched battle when its owner's life is seriously threatened by an evil opponent, on a natural 20 to hit this sword turns the opponent to solid gold (save vs. petrification). Any attempt to exploit the sword for the sake of producing gold has a 15% cumulative for a fumble turning the user or exploiter to gold. The sword may not mention the gold making ability so as not to encourage greed. XP value: 8,000 gp value: 90,000 MISCELLANEOUS WEAPONS ARROW OF BOW BREAKING: This arrow appears as a normal +3 arrow. When nocked on any bow and pulled back as if to fire, will cause the bow to break, no saving throw is allowed for normal bows. Magic bows get a saving throw of 10% per '+' of the bow, and additional 15% per major special ability of the bow, and 5% per minor special ability of the bow. If a bow has a normal '+' and also a different '+' against special creature then the highest '+' is used. XP value: Nil gp value: 100 ARROW OF THE MAGI TYPE I: [S5] These arrows have tips made of folded parchment. Each arrow has a spell sealed in its parchment. When an arrow hits, the spell is released on the target. They do no damage other than the spell. Effects are immediate as per 7th level of casting. If anyone tampers with the scroll spell the effects are released upon him. XP value: 500 gp value: 100 + price of scroll spell ARROW OF THE MAGI TYPE II: [S5] This common arrow is usable only by the magic-user class. The arrows are normal except that they have hollow metal heads. Spell components may be placed in the cavities in the head and the spell cast on the arrow. When the arrow strikes, the spell is released on the target (save vs. magic as per spell). Impact damage is 1d2 for S,M and 1 point for L creatures. If the magic-user fires the arrow himself it is as if against AC 9 (modifications at DM's disgression). XP value: 0 gp value: 75 BOLTS OF LIGHTNING: [SD] Also called thunder bolts, these bolst appear to be normal bolts until fires from a crossbow. After being shot, a bolt of lightning becomes a 7'-long bolt of lightning with a range equal to the maximum range of the crossbow which fired it (e.g., a bolt fired from a heavy crossbow has a range of 240 yards, and a bolt fired from a light crossbow has a range of 180 yards). These bolts are +2 to hit and do 4-16 hp damage if they strike a target. A save vs. spells is applicable; if the save is sucessful, only half damage accrues to the creature struck. Furthermore, all creatures within a 15' raduis of where this magical bolt hits have to save vs. petrification of be stunned for one round due to the earpiercing clash of thunder which accompanies the strike. Bolts of lightning are usually found in numbers ranging from 2-8. They are also often found mixed with normal bolts or with magical bolts of other types. XP value: 200 gp value: 1,200 BOW OF ACCURACY: [SD] The bow of accuracy is a simple yet effective missile weapon. The magic properties of this bow are a +3 bonus to hit and damage; likewise, all ranges within normal bow range are figured as short range in regard to this weapon. XP value: 2,500 gp value: 15,000 BOW OF DISTANCE: [SD] Like the bow of accuracy, this bow gives a bonus to hit and damage--a bonus of +2 in this instance. The difference between the two is that the distance for the bow of accuracy are double that of a normal bow of a similar type. XP value: 2,000 gp value: 12,000 BOW OF DOUBLING: [S2] This magical bow offers no bonuses to hit or damage, but it does have the unique property of firing two arrows at a time. Whenever a non-magical arrow is fired from this bow, the bow automatically creates and fires a second arrow. If the first arrow hits its target, so will the second; if the first shot misses, the second arrow has normal probabilities to hit it. All arrows shot from this bow, whether they hit or not, will be destroyed upon impact (or as soon as it is determined that they did not hit) and cannot be recovered. About 75% of all such bows are short bows, because of their usefulness to horse archers. XP value: 1,000 gp value: 6,000 BOW OF FIRE TEETH: [SD] When fired, this bow ignites any arrow it shoots. In addition to regular damage, the arrow does 1-6 hp fire damage. Magical arrows must save vs. magical fire if shot from this bow; if they fail the save, they catch fire and lose all magical enchantments. If they save, magical arrows perform normally. These arrows set combustables aflame if the combustable material struck fail a save vs. normal fire. Bows of fire teeth can set fire to a maximum of 10 arrows per day. The bow of fire teeth gives no "to hit" or damage bonuses other than the added damage from the arrow's flames. Such bows are generally red or yellow in color and have fire runes incorporated into their ornate designs. XP value: 750 gp value: 5,000 BOW OF ICE FANGS: [SD] This long bow, made of ivory and mithral steel, is believed to have been first created by the Elder Craftsmen of Niflheim (the area of Hades known to worshipers of the Norse gods as the land of the dead). Duplicates of the ice fang bow have since been crafted by human and elven mages. The main feature of the ice fang bow is that it creates ice arrows from the water vapor in the air. The user need only pull on the bowstring and release it; the arrows are created instantly, but may only be fired at a rate of two per round, to allow the bow's magic time to recharge. These magical arrows are +1 to hit and do double damage (2-12 hp damage) vs. fire-using and fire-dwelling creatures. If used against any other sort of being, these arrows are merely +1 to hit and damage. Each ice fang bow can generate a total of 101-200 ice arows before its magic fades. A nonmagical ice fang bow is still finely crafted and is worth 1,000 gp. Unfortunately, in hot climates (120 degrees F and up), the effective range of these arrows is halved. In environments where the temperature is over 300 degrees F, the ice arrows cannot form. If normal or magical arrows are fired from this bow, they do not gain the bonuses againt fiery creatures, and the bow performs in all ways as a normal long bow. XP value: 600 gp value: 3,500 BOW OF SPEED: [SD] This weapon is +1 to hit and damage. If there are undamaged and nonmagical arrows within 10' of the bow, those arrows are teleported, nocked and ready to fire, as soon as the bowman pulls back the string. This allows the normal rate of fire for the archer to be doubled. Some 10% of these bows are able to teleport any arrow within 10', magical or not, to the bow for firing. The archer can only distinguish one arrow from another if the arrows used are distinctive; all arrows to be fired are chosen at random. XP value: 2,000 gp value: 12,000 CAGLISTRO'S CALTROPS: [S5] These appear to be normal caltrops but there are two forms: The explosive caltrops do 1d6 damage each when stepped on, the flash types do 1d8 burn damage on the first round, 1d6 the second, and 1d4 on the third, plus igniting clothing. XP value: 5 gp value: 20 CROSSBOW OF ENCHANTMENT: [SD] This weapon casts a spell upon any nonmagical bolt placed in it, enabling it to strike any creature that can only be hit by a magical weapon. Note that there are no bonuses to hit or to damage; the crossbow merely enables one to have a chance against unnatural monsters with nonmagical bolts. No additional benefit is bestowed upon a magical bolt. XP value: 1,500 gp value: 7,500 CROSSBOW OF HEALING: [S5] This red crossbow radiates CG magic. A hit by this bow (usable by clerics) heals 1-6 points of damage. (On a natural 1 to hit it hits the target of 1-6 points of damage.) Only against undead does it function normally as a +1 bow. XP value: 2,000 gp value: 13,000 CROSSBOW OF LEVITATION: [SD] This is a magical crossbow that gives its user the ability to levitate as per the spell. While using the crossbow of levitation, the owner's feet are not in contact with the ground; at the least, the bow owner remains 1' above any "ground" surface. Furthermore, the only other weapon the bow owner may hold in hand is a dagger or knife. If a levitate spell is used on the possessor, the bow loses all of its power for 2-12 rounds. This crossbow has a +1 bonus to hit targets, but offers no bonuses to damage done by bolts. The user of this crossbow gains forward movement at a rate 1" while levitated, but he can be towed by flying creatures. XP value: 1,500 gp value: 7,000 CROSSBOW OF LIR: [SD] This crossbow, which has a "to hit" bonus of +3, may be fired normally underwater at the same ranges as a normal crossbow has on land, thereby giving underwater adventurers a badly needed missile capability. In the air the bolts shot by this crossbow will travel slowly and for little distance just as if it had been a bolt shot under water by a normal crossbow, and will be able to travel freely if it is shot at water as soon as it enters the water. These bows are named after Manannan Mac Lir, Celtic god of the sea (Legends & Lore, page 28). XP value: 2,000 gp value: 10,000 CURSED BOW OF WARNING: [SD] At first, this bow appears to be a bow +3, but when an arrow is fired from this bow, it always misses any living target which is of evil nature. furthermore, the arrow's flight always alerts an evil victim and instantly directs his attention to the location of the user of the bow, negating all further surprise advantages. If the nature of this bow is discovered, the curse can be removed by magical means, such as through the employment of a dispel magic, wish, or limited wish, or by clerical means, such as through the employment of a remove curse. The curse is considered to be 12th-level magic. Once the curse is removed, the bow becomes a bow +3. XP value: Nil(1,500 without curse) gp value: 500 (10,500 without curse) DAGGER OF ALIGNMENT DETECTION: [S1] This weapon appears to be a well-made dagger with five small gems set in the hilt. It radiates magic. When a command word is spoken and the dagger is pointed casually in the direction of a person or object within 30', one or more of the jewels will glow to indicate the alignment of the creature or thing (such as a magic sword) pointed at. The usual code of such daggers use is as follows: emerald = good, diamond = neutral, ruby = evil, topaz = chaotic, and sapphire = lawful. Thus, the emerald and sapphire set in an alignment dagger will glow if it is pointed at a lawful good character. The target to be identified must be visible to the holder of the dagger. The weapon's aim is not especially accurate; if is pointed in the general direction of more than one creature or object of different alignments, the gems will glow alternately in rapid succession, making their message difficult to interpret. The alignment dagger is a normal weapon in all other respects, giving the holder no combat bonuses. XP value: 100 gp value: 600 DARTS OF BRANDING: [SO] When thrown, darts of branding burst into blinding flame unquencable by water or cold, and this conflagration leaves a branded mark where such a dart strikes. These marks may be shaped by careful construction of the dart into runes or devices (and usually are). The dartfire consumes the weapon and does 5-9 points more damage than normal darts. Non-fire-resistant creatures get no save vs. this fiery damage, but the dartfire is relatively feeble and will do no damage if the target is protected by a resist fire, dispel magic or more powerful protective spell. Darts of branding can pass undamaged through a wall of fire, however, and will derive additional heat from the wall, doing 1 point of additional damage for every 1" (and remaining fractions) of flames they pass through. Flame strike and flame arrow spells have no effect on darts of branding. XP value: 200 gp value: 1,500 DIAMOND DAGGER: The diamond dagger is a dagger who's blade is made of magically reinforced diamond. The blade will cut any non-magical material (flesh of 'magical' monsters is non-magical) easily. It will act as a reduce any armor class to 9 if the armor worn, animal hide, etc., is non-magical, although any bonuses for dexterity, etc., is still applicable. The dagger still acts as a +3 dagger and will do so against magical armor too. It will also cut most any material, stone like butter, metals like sand, and wood like flesh. The damage done by the dagger is as a short sword. The dagger has no bonuses at all against materials that are made or alloys of mithral or adamantite. It can be used to cut open chests, doors, carve stone, shape metal, etc. The dagger is balanced for throwing, and will always hit blade first and always (not mithral and adamantite) sink in to the hilt, which is made of steel and adamantite. This dagger need never make saving throws, unless it is being hit with (not hitting) a weapon or object of mithral or adamantite, whereupon it will shatter if failed. XP value: 4,000 gp value: 30,000 ELECTRO WHIP: [S5] This magical item looks like a normal whip with a gem set into the handle. Each time this whip hits as a whip, it builds a 1d6 cumulative electrical charge. When the gem is punched, this charge is thrown from the tip of the whip as a lightning bolt (roll to hit, range 18'+10'/level of user). If the user is in contact with grounded liquid when the whip is discharged, the charge will go through him instead, doing double damage. XP value: 1,400 gp value: 6,000 ELVEN BOW +3, LAST SHOT: [SD] This bow appears to be a normal magic bow of +1 enchantment; however, in the hands of an elf, the full powers of this weapon are evoked. Whenever an elf uses this weapon it becomes a +3 magical weapon with ranges 50% greater than normal. The rate of fire is also increased by one arrow per round; this last arrow is fired after all other attacks have been completed for that round. XP value: 1,200 gp value: 8,000 ELVEN BOW +2, GOBLIN BANE: [SD] This bow appears to be a standard long bow +1; in the hands of an elven fighter, however, its full potential is realized. The +2 bonus is gained, as well as the following characteristics: Arrows fired have double-normal ranges and strike for double damage (2d6+2 hp damage) against any giant-class humaniod successfully hit. This class of monsters includes those which may be struck for extra damage by rangers (as per Unearthed Arcana). XP value: 1,000 gp value: 6,000 ELVEN DAGGER: [SE] This weapon, created for elven warrior commanders, is fashioned of a mithral-silver and steel alloy. It possesses the ability to detect giant-class creatures at a range of 200' outdoors, 100' indoors or underground (for a list of giant-class creatures, see Unearthed Arcana page 22). The blade of this dagger glows a faint white-blue color when such a creature is at the extreme range of its detection ability. The glow intensifies as the giant-class creature gets closer, until the blade is shining with the equivalent of a light spell. This dagger is +3 to hit and to damage giant-class creatures only. When attacking other creatures, it is considered to be a +1 magical weapon, but it strikes and wounds as a normal dagger. If desired, the dagger can be commanded to dim its light or to withhold its radiance when stealth and concealment are important. The blade glows only when giant-class creatures are near, not by any command. Any giant-class creature that holds or touches the weapon receives 1-4 hp damage per round of contact. XP value: 200 gp value: 1,600 FLAME NET: [S5] This is a fine-spun golden orange net. To entangle an opponent in this net the user must roll to hit. On command, the net will burst into flame--it is not consumed and will burn until commanded to stop, giving anyone in contact with it 2d6 fire damage per round. XP value: 1,000 gp value: 6,000 HAMMER OF PENETRATION: [S2] This hammer is sometimes described as a smaller version of a maul of the titans. It is a large-headed hammer with a 2' long handle. The hammer's head slopes down to a point on one side, and the hammer is not balanced for throwing. The hammer of penetration may be used one-handed in combat, and it does double normal hammer damage (4-10/2-8),plus a +3 bonus to hit and damage. When used two-handed on walls up to 2' thick, the hammer will have a chance of smashing through a hole in the wall equal to double the wielder's chances to bend bars or lift gates. The hole will be large enough to allow a man-sized or smaller being to crawl through it without trouble. The pointed end of the hammer must be used to smash through wooden barriers. XP value: 2,000 gp value: 20,000 HILT OF THE WEAPONS MASTER: [S5] This item is a plain dull black hilt with no blade. Close inspection reveals that his hilt has never had a sword attached. On the base are several different jewels (1d6). When a jewel is pressed, a different weapon appears on the hilt. When all are pressed together, the hilt is empty again. The weapons themselves are normal: 1) dagger, 2) sword, 3) mace, 4) crossbow, 5) staff, 6) javelin. XP value: 3,000 gp value: 25,000 LONG BOW OF HEARTSEEKING: [SD] This type of long bow (self or composite) always has a +3 bonus to hit targets. It acts as a normal magical bow, except when a suffiently high number to hit is rolled. Then, the arrow it fires strikes directly at the target creature's heart (if it has such), slaying the victim instantly (if it has but one heart). "To hit" numbers required for this attack are as follows: Opponent "To hit" roll Up to man-size 21 and up Larger than man-size 22 and up Metal or stone * 23 and up * If the foe is using a spell or device that has transformed him into this material. Certain creatures (such as elementals, golems, and undead) do not have hearts and so would not be affected by this weapon. Shape-shifting creatures (such as dopplegangers) are not affected by this killing power, either. XP value: 4,000 gp value: 20,000 LONG BOW OF MARKSMANSHIP: [SD] This magical long bow (either composite or self) also gives a +2 bonus to the "to hit" rolls of the user in combat. However, a long bow of marksmanship also gives the user a +5 bonus to hit against any nonliving target (including golems, undead, etc.). This bonus is also gained when attempting a trick shot, as long as that shot is not intended to directly harm another character or creature. In other words, the +5 bonus applies to an attempt to shoot an apple off another character's head, hitting an opponent's weapon, or any similiar shot. XP value: 1,500 gp value: 7,500 LONG BOW OF VAMPIRE HUNTING: [SD] These bows are much like the long bow of heartseeking except that they are only useful against vampires, such that the bow can fire a wooden arrow into a vampire's heart and slay it on the spot. Any score of 20 or better, including all bonuses, means that the long bow of vampire hunting has killed the vampiric target. No other being are so affected by this bow. XP value: 2,000 gp value: 10,000 PHAMTOM BOW: [SD] This appears to be a transparent bow with a sparkling string. When the string is drawn back, a shimmering arrow appears. Two such arrows can be fired per round as with the normal bow. The glowing arrows are +2 to hit and damage; the arrows vanish with no effect if they miss their intended target. The phantom bow fires 1d20+40 of these arrows, after which point the bow vanishes. The bow makes saving throws as per hard metal with a +2 modifier. Normal and magical arrows can also be fired from this weapon, but magical arrows gain no additional attack bonus. Each normal arrow fired from the bow gains a +1 bonus to hit and damage in addition to all other bonuses. Furthermore, these arrows can be fired without detracting from the bow's longevity (i.e., the bow's magic is not decreased by firing normal arrows). XP value: 1,500 gp value: 10,000 TRIDENT +1/+2 VS. WATER ELEMENTALS: [S1] A item manufactured by the most powerful sahugin clerics, this weapon gives its wielder combat bonuses against creatures like tritons, water wierds, and water elementals. The trident has a lawful evil alignment and will function as a -1 weapons in the hands of anyone of another alignment. Only the most powerful sahuagin warriors carry these tridents. XP value: 800 gp value: 10,000 WITHERING SCYTHE: [SN] This weapon is +2 to hit and does normal damage with no bonus. However, the victim must save vs. poison or also suffer the loss of 1 hit point per round thereafter from a slow but powerful poison effect. The only antidotes for this poison are cure disease cast by a cleric or druid of at least 9th level, heal, regenerate, restoration, limited wish, or wish. A good-aligned figure who simply picks up the scythe is subject to the same poison effect. XP value: 5,000 gp value: 20,000 ------------------- THE END -----------------------------------
