Image
Inferno Shepherd’s Sling Aura Strong evocation; CL 11th Slot —; Price 54,000 gp; Weight 2 lbs. DESCRIPTION This weathered leather sling bears braided cords of blackened ramhide threaded through with tiny copper beads that remain perpetually warm to the touch. The firing pouch is reinforced with crimson dragonhide, and faint ash stains seem permanently embedded within its seams no matter how thoroughly it is cleaned. When swung, the sling emits a low whistling hum reminiscent of distant furnace winds, and sparks occasionally trail from the projectile even before release. Any mundane bullet or stone loaded into the Inferno Shepherd’s Sling becomes infused with volatile elemental force. Ammunition fired from the sling is treated as magical for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. Upon striking a target or solid surface, the projectile detonates in a roaring burst of flame identical to the effects of a fireball spell centered upon the point of impact. The explosion deals 6d6 points ...

Sundial of the Patient Heavens Aura Moderate divination and transmutation; CL 11th Slot —; Price 38,500 gp; Weight 18 lbs. DESCRIPTION Fashioned from pale brass, black iron, and veined white marble, this ornate sundial measures roughly two feet across and is mounted upon a folding tripod of engraved metalwork. Tiny constellations are etched across its circular face, while its gnomon resembles a slender spire crowned by a crystalline sunburst. Though designed as a portable object, the sundial functions only when placed beneath open sky, where natural or magical light can touch its face. When activated by speaking a command word while touching the dial’s edge, the Sundial of the Patient Heavens begins tracking not merely the passage of time, but the subtle momentum of fate and circumstance surrounding its owner. Once per day, the bearer may spend 10 uninterrupted minutes consulting the sundial. At the end of this meditation, the user gains one of the following benefits, chosen at ac...

Clockwork Hearthwalker

Clockwork Hearthwalker Aura Strong transmutation and conjuration; CL 15th Slot —; Price 186,000 gp; Weight 9,500 lbs. DESCRIPTION The Clockwork Hearthwalker is a marvel of gnomish engineering philosophy - a home that refuses the indignity of remaining still. Appearing at first glance as a quaint yet elaborate late-medieval cottage of lacquered hardwood, brass reinforcement, stained glass portholes, and rotating copper ventwork, the structure measures precisely 30 feet long, 30 feet wide, and 15 feet tall at its roof peak. Beneath its foundation rests an intricate chassis of adamantine pistons, rune-etched gear assemblies, stabilizing gyroscopes, and four massive retractable mechanical legs. When inactive, the legs fold neatly beneath the structure, allowing the home to rest upon a reinforced base platform. The interior is surprisingly luxurious by adventuring standards. The Hearthwalker contains four fully furnished rooms: a common chamber with compact cooking hearth, a bunk chamber ca...

Lantern of Gentle Reprieve

Lantern of Gentle Reprieve Aura Faint conjuration and abjuration; CL 9th Slot —; Price 18,400 gp; Weight 4 lbs. DESCRIPTION This squat brass lantern is fashioned with softly curved panes of pale amber crystal framed in blackened iron vines. Tiny engraved stars spiral around the vented crown, and the handle is wrapped in worn dark leather polished smooth by years of travel. When lit, the lantern produces no smoke and sheds a warm honey-gold radiance out to 30 feet. The light carries the faint scent of rain upon old cedarwood and distant hearthfire. Any creature that spends at least 8 uninterrupted hours resting within the lantern’s illumination gains exceptional restorative benefits. Natural healing is doubled, and any hit point damage healed through rest is treated as though the creature had received complete bed rest. Fatigued creatures resting beneath the lantern recover from fatigue after only 4 hours rather than 8, while exhausted creatures recover to fatigued after 4 hours of rest...

Traveler’s Mercy

-
Image
Traveler’s Mercy Aura faint conjuration and divination; CL 7th Slot back; Price 18,500 gp; Weight 2 lbs. DESCRIPTION This weathered leather backpack appears deceptively ordinary at first glance, save for the faint silver stitching that spirals across its surface like winding roads viewed from above. The interior is shallow and entirely mundane - incapable of holding more than a normal traveler’s pack. The enchantment woven into the item does not alter space, reduce burden, or expand capacity in any fashion. Instead, Traveler’s Mercy concerns itself with the oldest exhaustion known to civilization: the slow erosion of the spirit brought on by endless roads. Whenever the wearer travels at least 5 miles overland during a day while carrying the backpack, the item slowly accumulates ambient impressions of shelter, safety, and remembered comfort from the surrounding world. At sunset, the wearer may reach into the pack and retrieve one temporary “memory token” generated by the enchantment. Th...

The Staff of Unfixed Horizons

Image
The Staff of Unfixed Horizons Aura strong conjuration; CL 18th Slot —; Price 162,000 gp; Weight 5 lb. DESCRIPTION This finely balanced staff is carved from pale sweetgum wood, its surface subtly striated with natural grain patterns that seem to shift when viewed from different angles. Faint motes of silvery light drift along its length when its magic is invoked. When agitated, the wood darkens subtly, and distant sounds entirely foreign to the surrounding world may briefly echo nearby - crashing waves beneath alien skies, whispering voices spoken in impossible languages, the groaning of vast unseen structures, or winds carrying scents from worlds no mortal map records. The staff has 50 charges and allows use of the following abilities: • Plane Shift, Greater, 3 charges This effect functions as plane shift (self plus up to eight willing creatures touched), except that the wielder arrives precisely at the intended destination without deviation, as though possessing perfect famil...

The Ring of Saint Mirelle’s Promise

Image
The Ring of Saint Mirelle’s Promise Aura moderate abjuration and conjuration; CL 9th Slot ring; Price 18,400 gp; Weight — DESCRIPTION Fashioned from pale silver touched with faint rose-gold veining, this elegant ring bears a central oval moonstone surrounded by tiny seed pearls resembling gathered tears. The interior band is engraved with an ancient phrase in Old Vallonic: “No darkness may claim what love still remembers.” The Ring of Saint Mirelle’s Promise is traditionally gifted during the Hearthmother’s Vigil, a sacred Noirvallon observance honoring mothers, adoptive parents, wet nurses, caretakers, elder siblings, guardians, and all those who endured hardship so another might survive. In many regions of the kingdom, the ring is less a romantic token and more a declaration that the wearer is “one who kept the lantern lit.” While worn, the ring grants the wearer a constant sanctuary effect against summoned creatures only. In addition, once per day as an immediate action, the wearer ...
