Hexlord

DEX is your spellcasting ability for your Hexlordspells. Your magic comes from your ability to use Hexspeach and your great knowledge of dark arts. You use your DEX whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your DEX modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a Hexlord spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spell save DC = 8 + your Proficiency Bonus + your DEX modifier

Spell attack modifier = your Proficiency Bonus + your DEX modifier

When you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the Hexlord spells you know and replace it with another spell from the Hexlord spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

You can cast a Hexlord spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell prepared.

The goddess of misfortune Beshaba governs Jinxes, Hexes, and Curses, for those who seek out the power of Hexspeech must abide by her rules. The rules are as follows:

• Those who inflict misfortune should expect misfortune.

• Those who possess another’s given name, personal item, or piece of their body hold the other’s life in their hands.

• Those who wield Hexspeech wield a double edged sword.

• Those who curse someone digs two graves.

• Those who create a cursed item cannot divulge the nature of the curse.

You know Hexspeech from communing with Beshaba. Hexspeech is a form of sign language that involves hand gestures both simple and complicated and both subtle and attention grabbing. The main gesture used is making a claw with the fingers. It can be used in a shorthand form to communicate with those who know Hexspeech such as most Hags, Devils, and Demons and a few Fey, Undead, and Dragons. A Hexlord uses Hexspeech to cast spells so the use of one or more hands is required to cast spells unless the spell specifically states otherwise (Does not include ‘S’ under components).

You built your own set of Hex Tools that are unique to you. You are proficient with only your Hex Tools and no other Hex Tools. With Hex Tools on hand you can craft many items that can curse and ward against bad luck. Make the following choices to create your Hex Tools:

• 1: magical contract with Beshaba that cannot be destroyed or leave your possession.

• 2: (a) a plain leather satchel or (b) a simple wooden chest with a rusty latch or (c) a nondescript canvas briefcase.

• 3: (a) a canteen of holy water or (b) a canteen of dead man’s blood

• 4: (a) a bag of salt, a bag of iron flakes, a chunk of unshaped obsidian or (b) a bag of pepper, a bag of silver flakes, a chunk of bone from an unknown source.

• 5: five pieces of chalk, a mirror, one foot of hair from an unknown source, a bag of ash, a bag of dirt taken from a crossroads, and five coins from a fallen civilization.

Jinxes are the lightest form of misfortune you can call upon your enemies. They resolve once the condition is addressed and are more annoying than anything. You can use an action to Jinx a target you can see within 60 ft of you, forcing them to make a CHA saving throw DC equal to your spell save DC and on a failed save they are Jinxed. If you know the target of the Jinxes given name, have a personal item of theirs, or have a piece of their body such as a strand of hair or drop of blood, you can choose which Jinx you place on them and they automatically fail the saving throw (The same applies to you if someone has your name, personal item, or piece of your body). Otherwise roll on the Basic Jinx table.

You can use this feature a number of times per long rest equal to your DEX modifier (Minimum 1). You regain a use of this feature whenever you experience misfortune such as rolling a nat 1, being hit with a critical hit, or failing a saving throw.

Having been forged and molded by malice and vengeance. You can use an action to activate your Malice Sense and until the end of your next turn, you can sense creatures within 60 ft of you that have feelings of malice or an intent to harm or kill you. You can sense their direction and distance from you regardless if they are visible or not. If the feelings and intent are directed abstractly towards you such as; at a group you are a part of or towards a cause you are supporting it does not apply for this feature.

You can use this feature a number of times per long rest equal to your Proficiency Bonus.

Your skills crafting along with your knowledge have allowed you to create many vessels for curses as well as items that can ward off threats. You channel the curse or ward via a ritual and it forms a suitable vessel for it. When you gain this feature choose four recipes to learn from the Cursed/Warding Item Recipe table. Whenever you gain a Hexlord level you can replace one of the recipes you know with a new recipe for which you qualify.

When you finish a Long or Short Rest you can create one or two different Cursed/Warding items if you have Hex Tools on hand. Each item is based on one of the recipes you know for this feature. If you create an item that requires Attunement you can attune yourself to the item instantly or if you decide to attune to it later you must do so using the normal process for Attunement. You are aware if the item has a curse but are unable to share the nature of the curse.

The number of Cursed/Warding items you can create at a time increases as you gain Hexlord levels. You can’t have more Cursed/Warding items from this feature than shown in the Cursed/Warding Items column of Cursed/Warding Item Recipe Table. If you try to exceed the number of items for this feature, the oldest item vanishes, and the new item appears.

Cursed/Warding items created by this feature functions as described in the Cursed/Warding Item Recipes section. If you replace a recipe you know with a new recipe, any Cursed/Warding items created with the replaced recipe immediately vanishes. If an item you created with this feature is a container, such as a Faulty Bag of Holding, and it vanishes, its contents harmlessly appear in and around its space. Even if an item’s curse is removed it still counts towards the number of Cursed/Warding items you can have unless specified.

A variety or method of curse has become your bread and butter and captured your attention and soul. As you practice it and learn it, you grow in power and specialize in new ways. Your skills with the type of Origin Curse you manipulate grants you features at levels 3, 6, 10, and 14.

• Cursed Blood

• Cursed Item

• Demonic

• Devilish

• Domain Curse

• Draconic

• Duplicious

You are skilled at detecting curses on individuals or items. You can cast the spells Identify and Detect Evil and Good once each per long rest without expending a spell slot. The spell cast this way also identifies if an item or person is under the influence of a curse. You learn the nature of the curse such as if the item causes recklessness if it is a Sword of Vengeance or if the person is a Werewolf under the curse of lycanthropy.

You can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature. Optionally, you can choose a Feat. See the list of Feats in Game Rules .

Otherwise roll on the Potent Jinx table.

You can use this feature a number of times per long rest equal to your DEX modifier (Minimum 1). You regain a use of this feature whenever you experience misfortune such as rolling a nat 1, being hit with a critical hit, or failing a saving throw.

Hexes are a weighty form of misfortune you can call upon your enemies. They resolve the completion of a ritual and can be very harmful. As long as you have Hex Tools on hand, you can spend the specified time performing the ritual and upon completion the Hex resolves.

Targeted Hexed Candles are tallow candles made from fat and target a specific individual over a distance and are the most potent. Gifted Hexed Candles are made with wax and can either be gifted as a good or evil gift and their effect does not take place until the gift’s recipient lights the candle. A good gift can be put out at any point and an evil gift cannot be put out by the recipient of the gift.

You perform a ritual to invoke one of the spirits (Wia) under contract to Beshaba and invoke their powers by drawing their symbol and placing an offering. You can perform the ritual provided you have your Hex Tools on hand. The ritual lasts one hour and if it is properly completed you can request a boon of Wia you chose. Remember that Wia that present as mild mannered or even nice and still evil beings. If the ritual is not properly completed the Wia curses you for a time. The ritual can fail if the ritual is interrupted, their offering is not accepted, Armba was not invoked first, or if the boon is too great. It is important to remember that a boon to you is a curse to your enemy in most cases. The most common curse is turning the requested boon on its head such as getting bad luck when asking for good. The easiest way to invoke the ire of a Wia is to ask for a boon better suited to a different Wia.

Curses can range from greatly inconvenient to deadly. The most basic way to curse an individual is using the spell Bestow Curse but you are capable of so much more. You always have the spell Bestow Curse prepared and it does not count towards the number of spells you can know. If you know the target of the Curses given name, have a personal item of theirs, or have a piece of their body such as a strand of hair or drop of blood, the target has disadvantage on any saving throws involved with the Curse (The same applies to you if someone has your name, personal item, or piece of your body).

You can modify the spell Bestow Curse with the following options some of which may require a spell slot greater than 3rd level (You still cast the spell Bestow Curse following all of its conditions). A Curse modified this way cannot be cast at a higher-level and does not require Concentration. Some Curses once modified gain an alternative way to remove the Curse though most Curses can be removed by a Remove Curse spell of the same level or higher than the spell that created the Curse unless otherwise stated. Alternate ways to remove curses can be divined by a successful Arcana check DC 13 + the spell slot used to create the Curse.The Curse is carried out to the best of the target’s ability if it requires the target’s time and effort but does not interfere with the target’s ability to respond to threats of violence unless stated as part of the Curse. If the Curse has a trigger the Curse’s duration does not begin until the Curse is triggered.

You can modify a Curse this way once per long rest. You regain a use of this feature whenever you experience misfortune such as rolling a nat 1, being hit with a critical hit, or failing a saving throw.

For instance a dagger with almost black mist that emanates from it for 10 ft around it was a tool for a violent act that occurred within the last hour or so.

You learn a more advanced ritual to commune with the Wia. The ritual and its effects are more flexible. You can talk directly with the chosen Wia for a time, ask one to possess you and enable you to perform something beyond your ability, or question an ancestor or other deceased soul for information. The ritual lasts for one hour and requires you to have your Hex Tools on hand. You address Armba first and ask for his aid or the aid of another. Unlike the Wia Symbol the terms are always the same and the cost of their aid is determined after the service is provided. The term is always a period of service where they ask you to complete a task. The task will always pertain to their significance and nature. The period is never more than 24 hours and occurs within the next week unless otherwise negotiated. If you address a Wia with a task they are not suited for they may grow angry and refuse the task and require a much more difficult cost. You can ask for the following aid:

• Effect: A somewhat risky Wia Ritual where you talk to first Armba and if needed another Wia. The Wia take the form of someone you know in life to protect you from their true forms. After the initial greetings you have ten minutes to talk with them. The Wia have no obligation to help and can even choose to hinder your efforts but they respect you more if you have completed Wia Symbols with them beforehand. The greatest protection to you during the meeting is respectful conduct.

• Example Effect: You call upon Kaza the Working Man and spend time discussing how to cultivate an ingredient for a Hex Bag.

• Example Costs: Kaza may request a portion of the harvest or a new hat made from the fibers of the crop to be presented at a later date along with a cold drink.

• Effect: The most risky Wia Ritual where you request Armba or Armba to grant permission for another Wia to possess you. Each Wis has immense power and are extremely capable as long as it pertains to their significance and abilities. Each Wia is very specialized and is likely to fail other tasks that may pop up during the time they are possessed. You negotiate a length of time and purpose for the possession. The Wia must perform the negotiated task to the best of their ability and will attempt to complete it right up to the deadline. The Wia also tries its best to finish the task with time to spare as that extra time is theirs to do with as they please. The timeframe must be reasonable in order for a Wia to agree.

• Example Effect: You ask Awge The Dependable Boat to find a boat and get you and your companions across a treacherous body of water within the next 12 hours. Agwe takes over your body and sets about finding a boat for sale, building a boat if tools and resources are available, or finding a service to grant passage. Awge would be great at such negotiations but if violence broke out they would be forced to run or be beaten severely as violence is not why they are significant. If Awge finishes with one hour to spare they may use your body to sabotage a vessel they find crude and offensive.

• Example Costs: If Agwe had to go through the trouble of building a boat they may request the boat to be filled with offerings of fish, beaver pelts, and other aquatic commodities and set free to drift down the river.

• Effect: The least risky Wia Ritual where you request that Armba and Marqui Sandi collect a soul from the beyond and grant you one minute to communicate with them. You must know the spirit’s given name in order to call them. The spirit cannot lie but it can withhold answers. Respect is demanded by Marqui Sandi during this time towards the spirit. The spirit only possesses knowledge it knew in life.

• Example Effect: You call upon Philipe Alexandre III and ask them the last known location of their crown. Philpe explains that it was taken by his advisor Hans De Vide before his death.

• Example Costs: The knowledge could lead to wealth or a reward, therefore a portion of that reward may be asked of along with an open acknowledgement of their part in your success.

You know more powerful Curses. If you know the target of the Curses given name, have a personal item of theirs, or have a piece of their body such as a strand of hair or drop of blood, the target has disadvantage on any saving throws involved with the Curse (The same applies to you if someone has your name, personal item, or piece of your body).

You can modify the spell Bestow Curse with the following options some of which may require a spell slot greater than 3rd level (You still cast the spell Bestow Curse following all of its conditions). A Curse modified this way cannot be cast at a higher-level and does not require Concentration. Some Curses once modified gain an alternative way to remove the Curse though most Curses can be removed by a Remove Curse spell of the same level or higher than the spell that created the Curse unless otherwise stated. Alternate ways to remove curses can be divined by a successful Arcana check DC 13 + the spell slot used to create the Curse.The Curse is carried out to the best of the target’s ability if it requires the target’s time and effort but does not interfere with the target’s ability to respond to threats of violence unless stated as part of the Curse. If the Curse has a trigger the Curse’s duration does not begin until the Curse is triggered.

You can modify a Curse this way once per long rest. You regain a use of this feature whenever you experience misfortune such as rolling a nat 1, being hit with a critical hit, or failing a saving throw.

Having a person’s given name, a personal item of theirs, or a piece of them such as a lock of hair grants you great protection from their attacks.

A creature can be affected by this charm even if they are Immune to the Charmed condition. The longer they are Charmed the more the condition becomes a part of them and not an effect. After 48 hours the target is willing to do most things for you short of self harm, irreparable damage to their finances or reputation, or murder. After 96 hours the range of the Hex Bag becomes one mile. After one week the effects are permanent and the target is enslaved by you and cannot disobey any command. A creature enslaved this way is under tremendous pressure and strain and gains 1 level of Exhaustion each day that cannot be cured unless the Wish spell or a similar effect is used to remove the effect of the Hex Bag entirely. Creatures with Legendary features or are Immortal are Immune to this Hex Bag.

• Crafting: Woven papyrus bag (1 cp), thumb of a humanoid who died while in exile of natural causes, a silver medallion in the shape of a circle with the rune for banishment inscribed (125 gps), a bundle of blackthorn (1 gps), shard of black ruby (70 gps), a small piece (Hair, saliva, etc) of the target, an 8th level spell slot.

• Effect: Effect: The Hex Bag takes effect after 1 hour of being within the same room of the target. After the duration the target is banished to a demiplane where they are tormented by their worst nightmares. The space where they were banished is left with a deep spiraling pattern etched into the ground that cannot be covered up. For instance if the flooring is replaced or a rug is put over it, the pattern will appear within 24 hours. They remain there until the Hex Bag is destroyed or until the pattern left is wiped away with an effect such as the Wish spell or similar effect such as applying Universal Solvent. Creatures with Legendary features are Immune to this Hex Bag.

You perform a ritual that lasts one hour and summons a being that can speak Hexspeech as Beshaba connects you two to potentially make a pact. The pact is a single instance of a give and take agreement and is much less powerful than pacts made for Warlocks and rarely lasts longer than 48 hours. If you do not know the creature’s given name you choose to summon any creature with that knows Hexspeech can be called though Beshaba usually respects the kind of creature you wish to barter with. The creature will try everything in its power to negotiate your given name, a personal item, or a piece of yourself as part of the pact. If you have the creature’s given name you can use your knowledge of it to request that they do not include your given name or other dangerous information or items as part of the pact and they will abide. The exact wording of the pact is recorded by Beshaba and both of you are held to the pact with serious consequences that can include eternal servitude or death if failed. Pacts that involve impossible tasks for unreasonable requests are not considered valid. Both parties are free to negotiate the terms and wording of the pact but the pact is null if negotiations last longer than the allotted 1 hour. The following are examples of pacts with the following creatures that are acceptable:

Demonic Pact: Demons want nothing more than to escape the Abyss and cause violence and chaos. Theirs will be a straightforward pact, though they will do all they can to abuse the wording of the pact.

Example: “I (Provide one of your aliases), agree to the terms and conditions set with Vromgard of the Shadow Demons for Vromgard to be granted freedom from the depth of the Abyss to exert themselves to the best of their ability to assassinate the monarch of Albergia, one King Augustus the VI under the cover of night and leave evidence that has been provided as part of the pact that would lead one to believe that the kingdom’s enemy the Sunrise Empire is implicated in the assasination. Vromgard is to pursue this task until the king’s soul and any other souls of those he slays as part of the assasination are claimed as part of payment for their services or until the hour is two hours past midnight in which the pact time is filled and Vromgard returns to the Abyss. At no point during this time can Vromgard injure, kill, or otherwise undermine the efforts of me or my companions.”

Devilish Pact: Devils will come prepared and you should too. They will prepare a lengthy document with many clauses and loopholes that will take a majority of the time to read and you should do the same. If you do not completely understand the agreement do not agree to it.

Example: The actual documentation would be too lengthy for most situations and take too long but a contested series of Insight and Deception checks can roughly determine the outcome of negotiations with the player having final say on which if any contract is agreed upon. A good deal might be the soul of a Good aligned person or giving someone something from the Devil that would most likely lead to their eventual corruption.

Draconic Pact: Dragons want for little that they cannot take for themselves. More often than not the only Dragons that will pact are Green or Black Dragons that are bored. They will most likely want information about a rival or some trinket that was once theirs and bothers them that it is unaccounted for. They do not care for negotiation but are usually somewhat fair.

Example: “I (Provide one of your aliases) agree to the terms and conditions set for by The Twin Fangs of Death of the Black Dragons for Mr Death to fly over the town of Shurrel to make the watch be on high alert for threats to the south and for one additional flyby to be carried out one hour after. Mr Death will not place themselves in harm nor harm or otherwise undermine the efforts of myself or my companions. For their services I (Provided alias) agree to bring back 3 of the 20 gps lost 100 years ago within the next year or will provide 300 gps in absence of the 3 aforementioned gps.”

Fey Pact: The Fey will ask for many odd things that do not seem important and may even seem detrimental to them but they do not seem to care and have their own inscrutable reasons. Hexlords have assumed that the Fey will ask for something simply to see if it will be granted and it is highly recommended to never deal with the same Fey twice.

Example: “I (Obvious fakename) agree to the terms and conditions of (Obvious fakename) of the Elder Satyrs for Mr Fey to stage an elaborate prank on the marquis of Melromak between the hours of 6 and midnight. The nature of the prank is left to Mr Fey but is not to be lethal to the marquis or anyone in the castle or harmful to myself or my companions. Upon completion Mr Fey is free to partake of the food upon my plate at my next celebration provided they do not make a nuisance of themselves and are to only eat and observe.”

Hag Pact: Hags have the most variety in their pacts with the terms largely pertaining to the individual Hag. Be warned the given name of a Hag is a combination of their original name when they were a humanoid and the new name given by their Covenmother. Anything else is false.

Example: “I (Provide one of your aliases) agree to the terms and conditions set for by one Hilda Snaggletooth of the Sea Hags. In exchange for her assault on the merchant ship “The Silver Osprey” on the morning of the second day of the month and for her not meddling in my or my companions affairs will be provided one oaken barrel at least 5 years old filled with intestines of 5 humanoids mixed with the eggs of 200 toads sprinkled with mushrooms picked from the cliff deep in the Ferlith Forest.”

Undead Pact: The Undead always pact in a way that settles a regret from their life or provides lifeforce for them to consume. Depending on the Undead a very tidy bargain can be made but beware Undead who pretend to be dumb.

Example: “I (Provide one of your aliases) of the living agree to the terms of Gregory Deadhand of the dearly departed for the services of haunting the mansion marked with a white fence and a red door located on the end of Drewburg Lane for the next two midnights. Gregory is welcome to claim the lifeforce of up to 5 years of human life and up to but no less than 1 year of human life from the inhabitants of the mansion.”

You can create a doll that is linked to a target you choose. The more time and effort placed into the doll and the closer the doll resembled the target the more effective it is. The basic function of the doll is to allow one to cast certain spells on the target that bypass their will and the spell’s range restrictions but can only target the target. The climate and injuries afflicted to the doll transfer to the target to a degree based on the degree of power the doll holds. Invalid targets of Voodoo Dolls include creatures with legendary abilities, and creatures with a CR greater than half your level rounded down. A Voodoo Doll is immediately destroyed if exposed to fire or another doll is created. You can craft the following dolls:

Crafting: A handful of straw or plant material, a length of cord or leather, a piece of charcoal, a slip of paper with the given name of the target, a 1st level spell, and 10 minutes of dedicated time. The doll must be humanoid and usually costs less than 5 cps.

Effect: The doll remains connected to the target as long as it is within 100 ft of the target. The doll lasts for 24 hours before vanishing. The doll can be used in the following ways at a rate of twice every 24 hours:

• Spellcraft: You can use an action to cast one of the following spells without expending a spell slot or causing the target to make a saving throw: Charm Person, Hex. As long as the target is within range they are unaware that any magical effects occurred from those spells. Once they leave the range they can attempt an Arcana check DC equal to your spell save DC and on a successful save become aware of magical meddling.

• Climate: You can use an action and the doll transfers some of what it feels to the target making it vaguely aware of the temperature and state of the doll for one hour. For instance if you place the doll next to an oven the target might feel a bit hot and if the doll was drenched the target might feel damp and sticky.

• Injure: You can use an action and the doll transfers some of what it feels to the target making it vaguely aware of the next injury the doll is inflicted with. The injury can be no worse than a sprained ankle or something similar.

Crafting: A handful of straw or plant material, several lengths of cord or leather, a piece of charcoal, a bit of fabric, a slip of paper with the given name of the target, a 3rd level spell, and 1 hour of dedicated time. The doll must bear a slight resemblance to the target and usually costs less than 1 sp.

Effect: The doll remains connected to the target as long as it is within 250 ft of the target. The doll lasts for 48 hours before vanishing. The doll can be used in the following ways at a rate of twice every 12 hours:

• Spellcraft: You can use an action to cast one of the following spells without expending a spell slot or causing the target to make a saving throw: Enthrall, Hold Person. As long as the target is within range they are unaware that any magical effects occurred from those spells. Once they leave the range they can attempt an Arcana check DC equal to your spell save DC and on a successful save become aware of magical meddling.

• Climate: You can use an action and the doll transfers some of what it feels to the target making it somewhat aware of the temperature and state of the doll for two hours. For instance if you place the doll next to an oven the target might feel like they are experiencing a sweltering day and if the doll was drenched the target gets physically wet.

• Injure: You can use an action and the doll transfers some of what it feels to the target making it vaguely aware of the next injury the doll is inflicted with. The injury can be no worse than a cut that would deal 2D4 Slashing damage or something similar.

Crafting: A handful of straw or plant material, several lengths of cord or leather, a set of paint or similar marking implement, several lengths of fabric, a slip of paper with the given name of the target, a 5th level spell, and 3 hours of dedicated time. The doll must bear a resemblance to the target and usually costs around 1-2 gps.

Effect: The doll remains connected to the target as long as it is within 500 ft of the target. The doll lasts for 1 week before vanishing. The doll can be used in the following ways at a rate of twice every 6 hours:

• Spellcraft: You can use an action to cast one of the following spells without expending a spell slot or causing the target to make a saving throw: Enemies Abound, Fast Friends. As long as the target is within range they are unaware that any magical effects occurred from those spells. Once they leave the range they can attempt an Arcana check DC equal to your spell save DC and on a successful save become aware of magical meddling.

• Climate: You can use an action and the doll transfers some of what it feels to the target making it aware of the temperature and state of the doll for four hours. For instance if you place the doll next to an oven the target might feel like they couldn’t cool down and would gain 1 level of Exhaustion after the full four hours and if the doll was drenched the target would be doused in water as well (Would weakly apply to something like acid).

• Injure: You can use an action and the doll transfers most of what it feels to the target making it vaguely aware of the next injury the doll is inflicted with. The injury can be no worse than a broken bone dealing 2D8 Bludgeoning damage and making the limb have a 1D8 penalty to checks and attacks involving it or something similar.

Crafting: Cotton batting or feather down, several lengths of braided leather, a set of fine paint or similar marking implement, several lengths of fabric, miniature props such as a hat the target often wears, a slip of paper with the given name of the target, a 7th level spell, and 6 hours of dedicated time. The doll must bear a striking resemblance to the target and usually costs at least 25 gps.

Effect: The doll remains connected to the target as long as it is within 1,000 ft of the target. The doll lasts for 2 weeks before vanishing. The doll can be used in the following ways at a rate of twice every 3 hours:

• Spellcraft: You can use an action to cast one of the following spells without expending a spell slot or causing the target to make a saving throw: Compulsion, Confusion. As long as the target is within range they are unaware that any magical effects occurred from those spells. Once they leave the range they can attempt an Arcana check DC equal to your spell save DC and on a successful save become aware of magical meddling.

• Climate: You can use an action and the doll transfers some of what it feels to the target making it experience the nondeadly temperature and states of the doll for six hours. For instance if you place the doll next to an oven the target would take 1D8 Fire damage every minute and would suffer 2nd degree burns and if the doll was dropped in water the target would have their movement speed halved and they would have to make a CON saving throw every hour DC equal to your spell save DC and on a failed save gains 1 level of Exhaustion.

• Injure: You can use an action and the doll transfers most of what it feels to the target making it feel the next injury the doll is inflicted with. The injury can be no worse being Blinded, Deafened, or losing a limb dealing 3D12 Slashing damage on losing the limb or something similar.

Crafting: Fine filling such as Dire Ram batting or Griffon feather down, several lengths of braided leather, a set of fine paint or similar marking implement, several lengths of fabric, miniature props such as a hat the target often wears, a porcelain faceplate, a slip of paper with the given name of the target, a 9th level spell, and 24 hours of dedicated time. The doll must bear a striking resemblance to the target and usually costs at least 100 gps.

Effect: The doll remains connected to the target as long as it is within 1 mile of the target. The doll lasts for 1 month before vanishing. The doll can be used in the following ways at a rate of twice every hour:

• Spellcraft: You can use an action to cast one of the following spells without expending a spell slot or causing the target to make a saving throw: Dominate Person, Modify Memory. As long as the target is within range they are unaware that any magical effects occurred from those spells. Once they leave the range they can attempt an Arcana check DC equal to your spell save DC and on a successful save become aware of magical meddling.

• Climate: You can use an action and the doll transfers some of what it feels to the target making it experience the exact state of the doll for 12 hours. For instance if you place the doll next to an oven the target would take 2D12 Fire damage every minute and would suffer 3rd degree burns and if the doll was dropped in water the target would float in the air as if suspended in water until the doll hit the bottom of the reservoir of water it was placed in. The target would then start to drown unless assisted.

• Injure: You can use an action and the doll transfers what it feels to the target making it feel the next injury the doll is inflicted with. The injury can be lethal such as a beheading.

You know many powerful Curses. If you know the target of the Curses given name, have a personal item of theirs, or have a piece of their body such as a strand of hair or drop of blood, the target has disadvantage on any saving throws involved with the Curse (The same applies to you if someone has your name, personal item, or piece of your body).

You can modify the spell Bestow Curse with the following options some of which may require a spell slot greater than 3rd level (You still cast the spell Bestow Curse following all of its conditions). A Curse modified this way cannot be cast at a higher-level and does not require Concentration. Some Curses once modified gain an alternative way to remove the Curse though most Curses can be removed by a Remove Curse spell of the same level or higher than the spell that created the Curse unless otherwise stated. Alternate ways to remove curses can be divined by a successful Arcana check DC 13 + the spell slot used to create the Curse.The Curse is carried out to the best of the target’s ability if it requires the target’s time and effort but does not interfere with the target’s ability to respond to threats of violence unless stated as part of the Curse. If the Curse has a trigger the Curse’s duration does not begin until the Curse is triggered.

You can modify a Curse this way once per long rest. You regain a use of this feature whenever you experience misfortune such as rolling a nat 1, being hit with a critical hit, or failing a saving throw.

If a creature who you have forgiven during the time the ring has been attuned to you betrays you, you must make a DC 18 WIS saving throw and on a failed save you become enraged for one minute. While enraged your face becomes flushed and taut with fury and your STR score becomes 22 and you can only attack with unarmed strikes that deal 1D4 Bludgeoning damage.

Removed Curse: If the curse is removed it becomes an Amulet of Proof Against Detection and Location.

Backbiter- Weapon (Requires Attunement)

Appearance: A spear made of a dark wood with a cruelly serrated spearhead marked with dwarven runes that read “Not only swords are doubled edged”.

Effect: The spear is a +2 spear that deals an additional 2D6 Psychic damage on a hit. The first time the spear is used you become attuned to it.

Curse: A petty dwarven blacksmith cursed the spear after being mocked for only making polearms. The spear’s throwing range is doubled. If you miss the target of an attack after throwing the spear the spear flies back at you forcing you to make a DC 18 Acrobatics check and on a failed check you take 1D6 +2 Piercing damage + 2D6 Psychic damage and on a successful check you catch the spear. Once attuned to the item you are unwilling to sell it, give it away, or use another weapon.

Effect: You become attuned upon wearing the boots. Your movement speed is increased by 20 ft and when you take the Dash action your total movement is increased by 40 ft after doubling your movement speed as part of the Dash action.

Curse: The boots want to go very fast, sometimes at inopportune moments. At the DM’s discretion they can make you attempt a DC 15 WIS saving throw and on a failed save you spend one turn running as you can’t seem to stay in place. When you take the Dash action roll 1D4 and the following action occurs:

1- False Start: You trip and fall Prone.

2- Gotta Go Fast: You spend your next turn Dashing as well.

3- Show Off: You attempt a DC 15 Acrobatics check and on a failed check you trip and until the end of your next turn your movement speed is halved and you cannot take the Dash action. On a successful check you can make a melee attack on a creature along the path of your Dash as part of the action.

4- Locked In: You dash as normal.

Once attuned to the item you are unwilling to sell it, give it away, or take them off.

Removed Curse: If the curse is removed the boots become Boots of Speed.

Dead Man’s Thumb- Wondrous Item*

Appearance: A severed, bruised thumb with a blackened and chipped nail that never seems to decay further or smell hanging on a black chain large enough to loop over your thumb.

Effect: The thumb brings misfortune to your enemies and pain to those who lose it. You can use a reaction when a creature you can see within 60 ft of you makes a D20 test and makes them roll with disadvantage. If the result is a failure the thumb gains 1 unlucky charge. You can use this feature at a rate of once every hour. The thumb must be on hand to use this feature.

Curse: The thumb is scornful and full of bitter hatred. Each time you use its feature you must make a DC 15 Perception check and on a failed check the thumb is missing and has magically teleported to a new target of its choice within 300 ft of you. Once the thumb is gone and every hour after it has left you, you take 1D12 Necrotic damage that cannot be reduced or negated by any means and you cannot regain hit points by any means and one unlucky charge is expended. The damage stops if you are able to regain the thumb, the unlucky charges are all expended, or by destroying it by removing the curse, even the Wish spell is unable to stop this effect. Under its influence you are unwilling to sell it, give it away, or take it off.

Removed Curse: If the curse is removed the thumb is destroyed making all unlucky charges reset to 0.

Dubious Spirit Board- Wondrous Item

Appearance: A battered wooden board set up in much the same as a Ouija Board with an equally battered wooden planchette with chipped and slightly foggy glass to gaze through.

Effect: You and up to five other creatures can spend 10 minutes in a ritual to commune with the dead.

Curse: The spirit board is a stickler for the rules and wants to upset its users. You and all that use the spirit board must abide by the following rules:

• A Leader must be chosen before using the board and they are the only one who may ask the board questions.

• Each member must greet the spirits politely.

• Never go past the ritual’s duration.

• All members must keep one hand on the planchette for the duration.

• Do not use the board in places of death such as graveyards.

• Always end the ritual by thanking the spirits and saying goodbye.

If the board’s rules are adhered to you can ask spirits in the area questions and receive guidance as if the spells: Detect Magic, Identify, Augury, Locate Animals or Plants, Locate Object, Clairovyance, or Speak with Dead (Not requiring a corpse), Locate Creature, or Contact Other Plane are used at the DM’s discretion.

For each rule broken the DM secretly notes it and rolls 1D6 and consults the Rule Breaker Table as subtly as possible. If you roll on a currently active result you roll again and repeat this process if you land on another currently active result. The results of the roll affect the current ritual and last until the board is used correctly.

1- The spirits are no longer required to provide accurate information.

2- The spirits are expelled for the duration and you no longer roll on this table. Roll 1D4:

1- A Demon controls the board trying to create mayhem and misinformation.

2- A Devil controls the board trying to make a member of the board make a pact with it.

3- An Aberration controls the board, providing forbidden information about each member.

4- An evil Fey controls the board and begins trading for information with innocuous offers.

4- The spirits provide harmful information.

5- The spirits inform a malevolent force of the party’s location and all questions asked during the ritual.

6- The spirits cause misfortune causing all members to have a 1D6 penalty to D20 tests for 24 hours.

Removed Curse: If the curse is removed the board and planchette vanish and the following occurs:

• If in the last use of the board all rules were adhered to, a gentle spirit appears and shakes the hand of each person who used the board within 20 ft of where the board vanished and thanks them.

• If the number two option on the table was not rolled a Banshee appears and attacks the party.

• If the number two option on the table was rolled on: 1 a Nalfeshnee appears, 2 a Horned Devil appears, 3 an Ulitharid appears, 4 a Bheur Hag appears and attacks the party.

Effect: A +1 flail with an extra 5 ft of reach. The first time the flail is used you become attuned to it.

Curse: The flail can get a bit carried away. While attuned, when you take the attack action you must attack an additional time using the flail for the additional attack and the target of the additional attack is determined at random. Once attuned to the item you are unwilling to sell it, give it away, or use a different weapon.

Removed Curse: If the curse is removed it becomes a nonmagical +1 flail that does not require attunement.

The hammer deals twice as much damage to objects and structures. If you roll two sixes on the hammer’s additional damage it explodes forcing each creature within 30 ft of it to make a DC 18 DEX saving throw taking 4D10 Force damage on a failed save or half as much on a successful one. Once attuned to the item you are unwilling to sell it, give it away, or use another weapon.

Appearance: The tanned hide of a Hell Hound complete with paws and head crafted into a cloak that smells faintly of brimstone and is always slightly warm to the touch.

Effect: The cloak grants Resistance to Fire damage and a +1 bonus to AC while unarmored. Upon putting on the cloak you become attuned to it.

Curse: Even in death the Hell Hound never really left the cloak. Once per long rest you can use an action to Polymorph into a Hell Hound. If you use this feature you must make a DC 14 WIS saving throw and on a failed save you become aggressive and see all creatures as your enemy and seek to kill and eat them. You can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of your turns, and come to your senses on a success. Once attuned to the item you are unwilling to sell it, give it away, or take it off.

Removed Curse: If the curse is removed it becomes a magical cloak that does not require attunement that grants Resistance to Fire damage and a +1 bonus to AC while unarmed.

Philosophical Quill- Wondrous Item (Requires Attunement)

Appearance: An antique quill made of oxidized bronze and a bedraggled feather with an oddly bright and new looking quill tip.

Effect: The quill never runs out of ink and can write on its own if it is told what to write at a distance of up to 15 ft. You have proficiency in History while the quill is on your person (These features can be used without attunement). Upon using the quill to write while using your own hand you become attuned to it.

Curse: The quill was used by an inquisitive scholar who was reported to be quite insane. While attuned, once per long rest you can ask the pen a question and the pen will begin to write for one minute as long as it is held. If you try to stop writing or try to alter what it says the pen will refuse to write further. The pen will write at length upon the subject in a convincing manner. If the question is one of theology or similar subject that might not have a factual answer or one that someone could not possibly know it will simply write “I Regret to inform you that this lies beyond my field of study”. Anyone who is proficient with History may attempt a DC 17 History check to determine if the information is accurate. The DM has full liberty to write truthfully, partially truthfully, or spin falsehoods but the response must relate to the question asked. If the same or similar question is asked twice from any source since it was created, it will write a scathing review about how its talents are being misused. Once attuned to the item you are unwilling to sell it, give it away, or take it off.

Removed Curse: If the curse is removed the quill retains the properties it could use before attunement and has no other features.

• If you would be dealt damage the doll takes the damage instead, after taking 40 damage the doll crumbles to dust. You take the remaining damage as normal.

Effect: Once worn the wearer becomes attuned to the cloak. The cloak is a sentient item that is friendly to you and your allies. It mainly communicates to you in a breathy voice using poetry or brief bursts of song and speaks common and 3 languages chosen by the DM upon its creation.

If you make an Arcana, History, or Performance check you can substitute your proficiencies with the cloak’s (+3 bonus).

Curse: The cloak contains the soul of Bery, a somewhat infamous Bard. Once attuned, the attunement of the cloak can only end upon its destruction or a 6th level Remove Curse or similar effect. The cloak has an AC of 16 and has 40 hit points and is Immune to Poison and Psychic damage and has Resistance to all nonmagical damage as well as all non Acid or Fire damage. Anytime the cloak takes damage you take the same amount of damage. If the cloak is destroyed, you take 3D12 Psychic damage. At any point at the DM’s discretion the cloak can force you to make a DC 14 WIS saving throw and on a failed save roll 1D8 on the Cloak’s Hijink’s Table and the cloak manipulates you, acting as you to do one of the following options within the next hour. Once attuned to the item you are unwilling to sell it, give it away, or take it off.

Effect: The book functions as a Spellbook or spellcasting focus if you are not a Wizard.

Curse: The book is possessed by the unnamed man Chuck Winchester slayed to make the book. A spellcaster who fails the Arcana check to detect the book’s true appearance must attempt a WIS saving throw DC 18 and on a failed save desire to attune to it. Once attuned you are compelled to read the book at midnight each night for exactly 6 minutes. You cannot recall what they read and any observer would see gibberish words scrawled within. You lose 1D4 +1 hit points from your hit point maximum that cannot be regained by any means while they are cursed.

Effect: The mask has no effect unless attuned. Upon wearing the mask you become attuned to it.

Curse: The mask is afflicted with a mad doctor with violent tendencies.

You deal an additional 2D8 damage on a critical hit. You can become confused as to who is a foe and who is a patient through the influence of the mask. Before you make an attack roll or attempt to heal a target you must make a DC 15 WIS saving throw and on a failed save for the next minute, you see hostile forces as wounded patients that require treatment and wounded patients as vile foes. You seek to heal patients and slay foes to the best of your ability. On a successful save you are Immune to the confusing effect for 24 hours. Once attuned to the item you are unwilling to sell it, give it away, or take it off.

Curse: The ring is cursed by Barrityl, a powerful Djinni. The ring has the following properties:

• You can have 3 additional spells prepared each day.

• The ring can store up to 4 levels worth of spells that can be cast at a later point (Storing a spell still requires Material components and the expenditure of the appropriate spell slot).

• You have disadvantage on attack rolls against Elementals and your spells and attacks deal half as much damage to Elementals.

• Setting: The ring’s features are determined by the type of gem in its setting or lack thereof.

  • Each morning roll 1D4 and the following happens:

    • 4- The previous gem shatters, dealing you 6D12 damage correlating to the gem: Fire (Fire Agate), Cold (Frost Turquoise), and Lightning (Lynx Eyes). The gem no longer appears again and the setting is empty if its result is rolled that morning.

  • If there are no more gems available the ring shatters to dust and a Djinn is summoned and attacks the ring’s former owner.

Once attuned to the item it cannot be removed by means less than a Wish spell or a 9th level Remove Curse.

Removed Curse: If the curse is removed it vanishes with a puff.

Covetous Sapphire Ring- Ring (Requires Attunement)

Appearance: A golden ring with a massive sapphire.

Effect: The ring grants a +1 bonus to all D20 tests while being worn.

Curse: The ring has been touched by Greed. Any creature that is within 10 ft of the ring must attempt a DC 17 CHA saving throw and on a failed save become temporarily mad and attempt to steal the ring, fight the ring’s holder, or cut off the finger of the ring’s holder and put it on until they are killed, Incapacited, or after one minute passes. If the target succeeds the saving throw they are Immune to the ring’s effects indefinitely. If the ring is not being worn the creature places the ring on their finger. Once the ring is placed on their finger the ring becomes attuned to them. Once attuned to the item you are unwilling to sell it, give it away, or take it off.

Curse: The crystal ball has a master that it serves while pretending to be useful. Anyone who attempts to use the crystal ball must make a WIS saving throw DC 18 and on a failed save become Charmed by the crystal ball for one minute. On a successful save the crystal ball functions normally. A creature Charmed this way believes that they are using the item correctly but the effects are manipulated by a malevolent entity chosen by the DM to show what the entity desires. A creature is unaware that they were Charmed after the duration, but becomes aware if the information gained is proven false. Once attuned to the item you are unwilling to sell it, give it away, or use another crystal ball.

Removed Curse: If the curse is removed the crystal ball becomes a Lesser Crystal Ball that loses the scrying capability but keeps all other features.

Ezekiel’s Puzzlebox- Wondrous Item

Appearance: A complex cube with six faces measuring one foot by one foot by one foot weighing six pounds.

Effect: Each face has its own puzzle and requires the following checks performed in sequence to solve. The puzzlebox comes with a note written on brittle parchment that describes each puzzle and names the specific face and suggested solve order. Once the note that comes with the puzzlebox is read for the first time it crumbles to dust and cannot be recovered each creature that read the note can attempt a DC 19 Insight check to determine the following: if the suggested order is followed, after solving the first puzzle each check’s DC after is reduced by 1. The note reads as follows:

1. 1.

   “Suggested Face 1- Primus’ Riddle: The face is made of bronze interlocking gears each covered in symbols. Start here, good luck.” To solve the puzzle one must succeed a DC 18 Investigation check (A creature that knows Primordial and all four of its dialects has advantage on the check), followed by a DC 18 History or Religion check (Anyone connected with the plane Mechanus has advantage on the check), and finally a DC 19 Sleight of Hand check.

2. 2.

   “Suggested Face 2- Baphomet’s Concordant Maze: The face is inset with six interlocking complex tracks with six pegs at various stages on the tracks with each peg’s movement influencing the others. Try this one second.” To solve the maze one must succeed a DC 17 Investigation check, followed by a DC 17 Sleight of Hand check. Repeat that sequence of checks a total of three times to solve the puzzle.

3. 3.

   “Suggested Face 3- Tasha’s Sixfold Mosaic: The face has a mosaic of six different colored squares that seem like if arranged correctly could make an image…. or maybe two…. no three. Try this one third.” To solve this mosaic you must succeed a DC 20 Arcana (Yellow), History (Green), Investigation (Red), Medicine (Blue), Nature (Orange), or Religion (White) check followed by a DC 18 Sleight of Hand check. Each check correlates to a specific image the mosaic makes. After each image is finished its color is replaced by the remaining colors and the DC of the first check is reduced by 1. After all colors have their images solved the mosaic itself is solved.

4. 4.

   “Suggested Face 4- Limbo’s Menagerie of Stuff: The face is covered in levers, buttons, wheels, knobs, and oddly shaped holes. Try this one fourth.” To solve the puzzles you can choose to attempt one of the following checks you haven’t solved yet each at a DC of 19. Acrobatics, Animal Handling, Athletics, Intimidation, Investigation, Nature, Performance, Persuasion, Sleight of Hand, and Survival. After each check has been completed the face itself is considered solved.

5. 5.

   “Suggested Face 5- Bahumat’s Gambit: The face is a chessboard set in a specific configuration. Try this one fifth.” To beat your opponent you must succeed an Insight check DC 18, 20, then 22 to make the correct sequence of three moves for checkmate.

6. 6.

   Suggested Face 6- Ao’s Mirror: The face is a polished silver surface with seemingly no way to interact with it. Try this last. This is where I failed.” If no other faces are solved all checks automatically fail on this face. If one face is solved a DC 35 Insight check (Unaffected by critical successes) can solve it. If two faces are solved a DC 33 Insight check (Unaffected by critical successes) can solve it. If three faces are solved a DC 31 Insight check (Unaffected by critical successes) can solve it. If four faces are solved a DC 29 Insight check (Unaffected by critical successes) can solve it. If all five faces are solved a DC 27 Insight check (Unaffected by critical successes) can solve it.

Curse: The puzzlebox is an enigma even to its creator it seems. If a creature fails the same check three times on the same face, they automatically fail the same check on that face from now on as its mysteries are beyond them. Each time a check is failed the face resets to its starting position. The puzzlebox also resets if more than one creature attempts to solve the face at the same time or if multiple faces are being worked on at once. After each failed attempt or reset the puzzlebox becomes inoperable for 24 hours.

Solves: After a face is solved the following occurs:

1. 1.

   Primus’ Riddle: Upon solving this puzzle the face transforms into a mysterious hole with a metal grate covering with an inscription written in Auran that reads “Ask a question and if Ao permits it, I will answer.” Under that message is a second one written in Terran that reads “You only have one chance.” After a question directed at the speaker is asked, a deep voice speaking Aquan emanates from the speaker and answers the question. The speaker then vanishes and the face becomes a dull lead sheet with a message written in Ignan that says "Congratulations!" inscribed on it.

2. 2.

   Baphomet’s Concordant Maze: Upon solving this maze 2D6 Minotaurs and 2D6 Bulezau appear within 10 ft of the puzzlebox and attack each creature in sight until slain. After each creature summoned this way is slain the final one drops an Iron Horn of Valhalla. The face then becomes a dull lead sheet with the message "Surprise!" inscribed on it.

3. 3.

   Tasha’s Sixfold Mosaic: The result of the solution depends on which color was solved.

   1. 1.

      Upon solving the Yellow image revealing an intricate pyramid, a Mummy Lord is summoned within 10 ft of the puzzlebox. It attacks each creature within sight until slain. After being slain it drops a Staff of Withering.

   2. 2.

      Upon solving the Green image revealing a symbol of five interlocking clawmarks, a Green Abishai is summoned within 10 ft of the puzzlebox. It attacks each creature within sight until slain. After being slain it drops a set of Green Dragon Scale Mail.

   3. 3.

      Upon solving the Red image revealing a complex swirling vortex, a Nabassu is summoned within 10 ft of the puzzlebox. It attacks each creature within sight until slain. After being slain it drops a Sword of Wounding.

   4. 4.

      Upon solving the Blue image revealing an ornate ring with a faceted gemstone, an Adult Sapphire Dragon is summoned within 10 ft of the puzzlebox. It attacks each creature within sight until slain. After being slain it drops a Sapphire Buckler.

   5. 5.

      Upon solving the Orange image revealing a swirling stormcloud emitting bolts of lightning, an Adult Bronze Dragon is summoned within 10 ft of the puzzlebox. It attacks each creature within sight until slain. After being slain it drops a Sword of Vengeance.

   6. 6.

      Upon solving the White image revealing a skull covered in runes, a Skull Lord is summoned within 10 ft of the puzzlebox. It attacks each creature within sight until slain. After being slain it drops a Berserker Axe.

After all colors are solved the face then becomes a dull lead sheet with the message “Gotcha!” inscribed on it.

1. 1.

   Limbos Menagerie of Stuff: The following occurs in order of how many bits and bobs have been solved.

   1. 1.

      One solve unleashes a purple gas that forces each creature within 30 ft of it to make a DC 11 WIS save and on a failed save gains one level of Long Term Madness (1D10 x 10 hours).

1. 1.

   Bahumat’s Gambit: Upon beating the opponent two of each chess piece is dropped. A chess piece can be thrown as an action summoning the corresponding creature which serves the creature who threw it to the best of its abilities even to the point of death before vanishing after one hour. A Knight pierce summons a Knight. A Pawn piece summons a Lizardfolk. A Bishop piece summons a Lizardfolk Shaman. A Queen piece summons a Lizardfolk Queen. A King Piece summons a Lizardfolk King. A Rook piece summons a Giant Lizard. After checkmate the face then becomes a dull lead sheet with the message “Well fought!” inscribed on it.

2. 2.

   Ao’s Mirror: Upon learning how to interact with this face the individual that contributed the most (According to the DM) to solving the face or puzzlebox (Depending on how the solve progressed) sees a slightly raised section of the mirror that looks like a button that no one else can see or interact with. Upon pressing it, the individual is teleported to Chronius, the 7th and final heaven of the Seven Heavens of Mt Celestia. There they spend one hour conversing with an individual who is talking from behind an indescribably beautiful white door who at the end of the conversation grants one boon it feels the individual merits. The individual then is teleported back arriving the same instant they left having only a knowledge of the boon and not the topics discussed during the course of the hour. The boon can be anything from resolving a mystery, the location of a legendary item, or granting an Epic Boon or similar reward. After the individual reappears the face becomes a dull lead sheet with the message “I believed in you!” inscribed on it.

If all faces are solved the puzzlebox vanishes.

Removed Curse: If the curse is removed the puzzlebox vanishes.

Jihril’s Arcane Eye- Wondrous Item (Requires Attunement)*

Appearance: A milky white prosthetic eye, its iris seems to change colors once every few hours.

Effect: Once picked up the eye asks, “I have a gift to give that will bestow a true sight, do you accept?” If accepted, you become attuned to the eye. If you do not accept the eye becomes silent and will never repeat the question.

Curse: The eye belonged to the Lich Jihril. If accepted, the eye sinks into your body. You grow a third, milky eye in the middle of their forehead and becomes attuned to the eye. While attuned this way, you have Truesight 10 ft. The eye is unsettling, you have a -3 penalty to CHA based skill checks to non Abberration, Fiend, Ooze, Plant, and Undead creatures.

Removed Curse: The curse can only be ended by cutting out the eye. Removing the eye causes you to permanently lose 1D6 hit points from your hit point maximum that cannot be removed by any means less than divine intervention or the Wish spell.

Lucky Rabbit’s Foot- Wondrous Item*

Appearance: A severed and preserved rabbit’s foot hanging on a small silver chain large enough to loop over a thumb.

Effect: The rabbit’s foot grants luck while held and bad luck when lost. You can use a reaction when you fail a D20 test to roll with advantage and take the new result. If the result is a success the rabbit’s foot gains 1 lucky charge. You can use this feature at a rate of once every minute. The rabbit’s foot must be on hand to use this effect.

Curse: The rabbit that was used seeks revenge. Each time you use the rabbit’s foot you must succeed a DC 17 Perception check and on a failed check the rabbit’s foot vanishes. The rabbit’s foot magically moves to the pocket of one creature within 300 ft of you that it chooses. For each lucky charge the rabbit’s foot had when it vanished the DM can choose to use one to make you fail a DC 20 test of their choice at a maximum rate of one per minute. The only way to stop the bad luck is to get back the rabbit’s foot or destroy it by removing the curse, even the Wish spell is unable to end the ill luck. As part of the rabbit’s influence, you are unwilling to sell it or give it away.

Removed Curse: If the curse is removed the rabbit’s foot is destroyed making all lucky charges reset to 0.

Masterwork Spirit Doll- Wondrous Item (Requires Attunement)

Appearance: A gorgeous, lifelike doll resplendent in ornate clothes and a loving face that seems to want to convey a feeling of comfort.

Effect: While the doll is on your person it takes on any damage you would take and protects you. If either of the following takes place the doll crumbles to dust whichever occurs first:

• If you would be dealt damage the doll takes the damage instead, after taking 50 damage the doll crumbles to dust. You take the remaining damage as normal.

• If you fail a saving throw you instead succeed it. After you succeed two saving throws with this feature the doll crumbles to dust.

You can make one Spirit Doll every three days and you can have one Spirit Doll at a time. If you create a new one, the old one vanishes.

Parasitic Weapon- Weapon (Requires Attunement)

Appearance: Can take the appearance of any melee weapon (Chosen upon creation). The weapon will have a green, black, or red lustrous sheen.

Effect: The item is a +2 version of the weapon but if the weapon has the Thrown feature it loses it. The first time you use the item you must make a DC 18 CON saving throw and on a failed save you become attuned to the item. On a successful save the weapon flings itself from your hand and begins to crawl away on spindly legs at a rate of 20 ft per round.

Curse: The weapon is actually a parasitic lifeform. Upon becoming attuned the weapon shoots out tentacles that burrow into your arm and fuse with it. While initially surprising upon becoming incorporated with you the sensation becomes pleasurable and you feel a deep kinship with the weapon that now prefers to be called “Partner”. Each time you hit a creature with the weapon it deals an additional 2D8 Necrotic damage and you regain hit points equal to the damage dealt. Every 6 hours you do not deal damage to a creature the weapon drains your lifeforce dealing you 3D12 damage (Damage dealt this way cannot be prevented), your hit point maximum is reduced by the same amount of damage taken until you reduce a creature to 0 hit points with the weapon. Once attuned to the item you are unwilling to sell it, give it away, or use another weapon.

Removed Curse: If the curse is removed from the weapon and it is attuned it cries out in pain and reduces the hit point maximum of you by 2D6. Attuned or not, removing the curse destroys the weapon.

Phonograph- Wondrous Item*

Appearance: An antique phonograph that is perpetually covered in dust and cobwebs no matter how often it is cleaned.

Effect: The phonograph appears alongside six cylinders covered in grooves that can be placed on at a time in the phonograph.

The phonograph has six cylinders labeled: Anthem of Calyspa, Ballad of Carrusse, Raviel’s Hymn, Joel’s Blue Afternoon, Rein’s Aria No. 7, and Sebastian’s Tragic Opera: 5th Movement.

Curse: The phonograph is haunted and seeks to keep its listeners captivated. Regardless of which cylinder is loaded the phonograph will play a new cylinder that has not been heard by a majority of those listening until each creature has heard each song to completion. Each time the phonograph is played each creature within 60 ft of it that can hear it must make a WIS saving throw DC 19 and on a failed save listen to the song to its conclusion and will fight anyone who attempts to stop the phonograph. Each creature that fails the save has the correlating effect occur. On a successful save you are Immune to the phonograph’s effects for 24 hours.

Anthem of Calyspa: A melancholic tune pangs the hearts and brings an unbidden tear to the eye as a sultry female voice sings of hopes unfulfilled. Each creature that failed the initial saving throw must make a subsequent DC 18 INT save and on a failed save desire to listen to the phonograph the next night at all costs. If the listener is Incapaciated or in a sleeplike or trancelike state the following occurs in addition: You forget the names of the next 10 people you encounter and cannot recall details about them other than your general attitude you’ve had towards them.

Raviel’s Hymn: A solemn choir supports a gregorian chant from a deep male voice that speaks to the soul and lulls one to sleep in a net of safety. Each creature that failed the initial saving throw must make a subsequent DC 18 WIS save and on a failed save lose all desire to fight and argue and have disadvantage on attacks and automatically fail Intimidation checks for 24 hours. If the listener is Incapaciated or in a sleeplike or trancelike state the following occurs in addition: You black out and awaken in the morning in front of an altar with a fresh corpse on it, covered in blood, along with any other listeners who failed the subsequent save.

Joel’s Blue Afternoon: A female leads a deep and complex song that sings of reconciliation and healing in a catchy song that most try to sing along with or hum to. Each creature that failed the initial saving throw must make a subsequent DC 18 WIS save and on a failed save desire strongly to open up to those around them and discuss any secrets, ill feelings, and trauma with those around them. If the listener is Incapaciated or in a sleeplike or trancelike state the following occurs in addition: In a dreamlike state you seek to find someone you harbor feelings towards and try to kiss them and open your heart to them. You awake the next morning with full knowledge of what you did. If no such being is within reach you write a deep letter conveying your feelings and awake next to the finished letter.

Rein’s Aria No. 7: An orchestra plays a captivating melody as a sweet female singer sings notes and words that you cannot seem to recall. Each creature that failed the initial saving throw must make a subsequent DC 18 WIS save and on a failed save cannot speak a lie or withhold the truth for 24 hours. If the listener is Incapaciated or in a sleeplike or trancelike state the following occurs in addition: You seek out the person you most trust within a three hour walking distance and tell them your biggest regret and worst mistake or sin. The person you choose may attempt a DC 18 Insight check to tell if you are being influenced in any way. You are aware of who you chose and what you said the next morning.

Sebastian’s Tragic Opera: 5th Movement: A sullen opera plays with a male and female voice who seem to be on the verge of tears singing of the terrible fates that befell them and how miserable they have become. Each creature that failed the initial saving throw must make a subsequent DC 18 CHA save and on a failed save attempt to murder to the individual they hate most within a 3 hour walk. If the listener is Incapaciated or in a sleeplike or trancelike state the following occurs in addition: You polymorph into a Chimera with your own head instead of the head of a lion (Your head makes the bite attack instead of the lion or dragon) and seek to cause as much destruction as possible to the surrounding area, changing back at dawn’s first light having no recollection of what occurred.

The phonograph can load its own cylinder and play at any point. Incapacitated creatures automatically fail the initial and subsequent save and creatures in a sleeplike or trancelike state automatically fail the initial save have disadvantage on the subsequent save.

Removed Curse: If the curse is removed it vanishes with a pop leaving behind the six cylinders which each now being containers containing a Spell Scroll whose type corresponds to the name of the cylinder.
