How about Scroll of Duck the Duck off? When used, the summoner hears a voice that is extremely *done* with your shit and demands why it should help you. This voice is ducklike. The summoner must roll for persuasion. If they pass, the voice will sigh exasperatedly and a swarm of very, very angry ducks will attack the target provided, causing 2d4+10 damage. Then they will angrily turn and wheel into the distance. The party will later be assaulted by 1d4+3 ducks, pissed at having been made to do that earlier. If the summoner fails, they will immediately be turned into a duck that will attack the target for 1d4-1 damage. The target may make a (fairly low) roll to dodge. If they do dodge, the sunmoner is turned into a roast duck for 2 rounds and will spend the next two sessions having to pass a consave to not quack at the most inopportune times.

[Unstoppable Rod] Often mistaken for the more famous Immovable Rod at first glance, the Unstoppable Rod functions in rather the opposite way as its counterpart. When the button on the rod is pressed it becomes magically incapable of remaining stationary -- the rod will move in a randomized way (1d20 x 5 feet per round, at the start of the turn of the creature that activated it), rolling or bouncing or jostling as though a thing alive. After two rounds the rod gains Swim and Fly speed as well, using the same randomized movement. If the rod moves into or through a space occupied by a creature or other object it does 1d20 magical Bludgeoning damage if the creature fails a DC 12 Dexterity Save (objects automatically take damage). Any creature attempting to hold the rod in place must succeed on a DC 30 Strength Check, at which point the rod is considered Grappled (failing the check results in the creature taking 4d6 magical Bludgeoning damage and being knocked Prone). Any creature attempting to grab onto the rod while active must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity Check -- on a success, the creature is pulled along with the movement of the rod until they let go. Pushing the button while the rod is active will deactivate it... but this is easier said than done. It is said that some Unstoppable Rods have, once activated, gone on an unceasing rampage of chaotic destruction that would put armies and dragons to shame. No one knows what happens when an Unstoppable Rod and an Immovable Rod collide...

One of my favorites that I made years ago: the sword of soup. Under the detect magic spell this sword is faintly magical, radiating a faint aura from the school of enchantment. Unfortunately, it’s only magical effect is that every 1d4 hours whoever bears this weapon must make a dc 15 wisdom saving throw or be compelled to make soup out of 1d4 random items in their inventory. The soup is not magical, and usually not edible. This sword was found in a raid of Drek’s Bargain Magic Items, and was among a number of defective magic items such as the Helm of Halfling Stature and the Immovable Hammer.

The personality is fully aware as if it had 20 feet of blind sight and can, but doesn't need to sleep. At dawn the sword predicts the future and is compelled to say if "Something bad will happen today~". Should the wielder, or any of it's allies, during the next 24 hours be subjected to something unfortunate or a minor inconvenience like pricking the hand on a rose thorn, getting a paper cut, or lightly going through their ankle the sword will say that it had warned them.

Imagine using the Boots of the Mermaid to convince people that someone is a disguised mermaid, or a merchant using the Pierceless Spear to convince a crowd that they’ve created a cloth so strong it can block an all out attack from a giant or a smiting paladin.

By itself, flavourful and of some tactical advantage, as the character would be able to hear boss music starting, or the Metal Gear 'guard alerted sound'. However, it also comes with two cursed variants: one which scores their life as the wrong genre (comedy moments as tragedy, romance as horror, grief as upbeat romance, etc.); the other works exactly like the normal Diadem, except it plays the background music for somebody else's life.

During my very first campaign in 3.5e, my DM thought it would be hilarious to award our CE Sorcerer with a self-replicating Silver Spoon, similar to all of those cups in what's-her-face's vault in Harry Potter. It was a Masterwork item that did absolutely nothing, until you used the magic words. The magic words were to give it a name. For example, if the OWNER called it a Dinner Spoon, any time it came in contact with something that could be construed as a dinner meal, it would spontaneously burst into 1d20 copies of itself. If the copies touched "Dinner," they too would burst into 1d20 spoons for 1 hour. During our campaign, we were falsely imprisoned after being framed by the BBEG. One of the guards decided the spoon looked like a great keepsake. Well, unfortunately for him, it was quite possibly the worst decision of his life. Our sorcerer said to the guard, "Hey! That's my Soup Spoon." This was just before he was punched in the face and we were left to a roar of boisterous laughter. About an hour later, screams were heard from the top of the stairs leading to the kitchen, the clanging sounds of flatware bouncing off the floor, and then a loud metal gong as soup pot fell over, spilling its contents onto the floor. After a few minutes, a deluge of spoons flowed down the stairs, carrying all of the guards, the cook, the dog, the BBEG's henchmen, and wizard until they were crushed into back wall of the prison. Our DM was flabbergasted because one innocuous joke item had single-handedly ruined a months worth of campaign material. Let this be a lesson to everyone, The Tick was right all along, and the power of the almighty SPOON should not be trifled with.

Stupid question: The Orb of Defection works on objects. Slaves are considered property, sometimes to the point of being called 'objects' depending on a culture's view of slaves. So from that standpoint, if you used the Orb of Defection on a slave up for auction, would it tell you if a slave was retarded or had a mental issue in general? Another question: And what about Golems? You run into a war golem or whatever but you can't tell what its weakness is. It's not a person, and since it's a construct some might argue that it's an Object. Could you use the Orb of Defection to learn what the Golem is vulnerable to?

However if you were to name that word for a famous slave owner giving it a particular history and time and place anchoring it to the world then I suppose it could be used in that fashion it would just need a more extensive backstory.

Not a useless item, but an fun cured one. So Jay, Randy, and Luna make up the party. I forget their character names. Anyway, they're stuck in the Library of Eldenbrooke, the place that makes the Bermuda Triangle look like a kiddie pool. Their mission? Nabbing the Map of All Things, a treasure that's like Google Maps on magical steroids. Jay's packing Thesara's Fading Compendium-an ancient sentient spellbook, except it has dementia. Jay approaches this riddle-engraved pedestal and asks the book for advice. Now, here's where it gets interesting. We have Thesara roll for its "Arcane Wisdom with Dementia" ability. Rolls a d20... and it's a 17! Solid. Thesara, sounding like Gandalf if he were your grandpa who can't find his keys, mutters, "Ah, yes, the riddle. Just say 'I always lie,' my boy." Jay utters the phrase and I have him roll for Wisdom... He gets a 22! The pedestal vibrates and everyone holds their breath. But hang on, Thesara needs to roll for its "Reliability Check" because, well, dementia. Rolls a d20 again... and it's a 3. Instead of the Map of All Things, an accordion manifests. Thesara chuckles and says, "Oh my, it appears I've mixed up my magical catalog, eh? That’s your Map of All Tunes!" Luna rolls her eyes, rolling a 10 on her "Patience Check," undecided if she should laugh or scream. Randy rolls a 1 on his "Composure Check" and bursts into uncontrollable laughter. We do this sorta shenanigans for flavor. Thesara then attempts to save the day. "Wait! I remember now! The Map materializes with a melody!" Time for Thesara's "Last-Minute Save" roll... and it's another 3. The accordion self-destructs into a rain of keys and buttons, like a piñata at a failed birthday party. As they all stand there, dumbfounded and covered in accordion debris, Thesara, momentarily clear-headed, says, "Ah, I forgot to tell you, sometimes the magic does have a mind of its own." Then, true to form, it concludes with, "Who are you again?"

In my old Arclands campaign, there were these magical artifacts called "primal rings", which were rings that could be made of any sort of naturally occurring mineral, the power of which varied greatly between rings, with more rare minerals having more powerful effects. (Also there are only one of every primal ring, and are ranked from F to S tier). Cut to an encounter against a bounty hunter who attacked the party's base trying to reclaim something from them, I tell the party "they are wearing a primal ring, and it looks VERY powerful". The party treats them like they're a robber holding a gun and hands over the object willingly. Later, the party realises they left behind their ring with a note basically saying "ya, I don't need this anymore". Then they cast identify and turns out it was an F tier fools gold ring, who's only ability is to appear like a really powerful primal ring.

It’s a leather hood and cloak said to be made out of the remains of a false hydra, capable of bequeathing some of the creature’s insidious power to the wearer. Unfortunately, the enchantments on it were done incorrectly, and it now works in reverse. The wearer will no longer be able to perceive other humanoids while wearing the False-Hood.

@user-lt7wq4dc5x
@user-lt7wq4dc5x 7 месяцев назад
The thing is, the fact that something is very "off" about what the imbiber is saying can be determined easily by a clever and persistent interrogator. For example, asking a seated imbiber of the Falsehood Serum, "Are you seated?". Whatever the response is, it can't be a simple "yes". UNLESS, the interrogator asks a question they know the answer to is "No", as by asking "Are you standing?" to a seated imbiber. Could trip up an interrogation subject, especially if they aren't very smart. "At what time today did you steal the king's scepter?" *confused beat* "Noon tomorrow". If I was a DM adjudicating a situation like this, I'd probably insist on some kind of Will or Intelligence rolls on a situation like this if the players are clever enough to treat it like a logic puzzle. Perhaps a Zone of Truth could interact with the serum to make the imbiber tell an obvious blatant lie to every question they are asked, as with the "Are you standing?" example above. Could really spice up a boring interrogation.
