Charm of the Crescent Ward

Charm of the Crescent Ward Aura faint abjuration; CL 5th Slot —; Price 4,500 gp; Weight 1 lb. DESCRIPTION This finely wrought charm resembles a delicate silver crescent moon cradling a small suspended orb of pale, milky crystal. The piece is affixed to a short chain with a clasp designed to attach securely to any backpack, satchel, sack, or similar container. The charm emits a constant, dim luminescence that is only visible in darkness or near-total shadow. In normal lighting conditions, the glow is imperceptible, but in darkness it appears as a soft, pale lunar shimmer that gently outlines the crescent and faintly illuminates the orb. When attached, the Charm of the Crescent Ward creates a subtle, invisible field that protects the contents of the container from nonmagical environmental harm. Items within the protected container are kept perfectly dry regardless of rain, submersion, or humidity. Food and organic materials stored inside do not spoil due to natural causes, remaining...

Widow’s Requiem

Image
Widow’s Requiem Aura strong necromancy and enchantment; CL 15th Slot —; Price 94,000 gp; Weight 1 lb. DESCRIPTION This exquisitely wrought dagger bears a slender, leaf-shaped blade of darkened steel, its surface etched with impossibly fine, flowing filigree that seems to shift subtly under different light. The hilt is an ornate lattice of gold, set with small crimson, violet, and sapphire gemstones that glimmer like captured emotion. When held by a woman, the weapon settles into her grip with uncanny perfection, as though it had always belonged there. Widow’s Requiem functions as a +2 keen dagger. When wielded by a woman against her wedded husband, the dagger gains an additional +4 profane bonus on attack and damage rolls. Any successful sneak attack or confirmed critical hit against such a target forces the victim to succeed on a DC 20 Fortitude save or suffer a sudden fatal collapse within 1d4 rounds. The cause of death appears entirely natural - heart failure, seizure, or ...

Amulet of the Unfettered Tongue Aura: Faint divination Caster Level: 5th Slot: Neck Price: 12,000 gp Weight: — DESCRIPTION This amulet is a circular spiral of polished light green jade, measuring precisely 1¾ inches in diameter , its form curling inward like a stylized wave or coiled glyph. The surface is engraved with flowing, almost organic patterns - lines that resemble both ancient script and something far older, suggestive of meanings that shift when stared at too long. A small jade bead of the same hue rests above it, threaded on a dark cord. When worn, the Amulet of the Unfettered Tongue grants the wearer the ability to understand any spoken or written language at will , as though under the constant effect of comprehend languages . This is a supernatural ability and functions continuously while the amulet is worn. The wearer may suppress or resume this effect as a free action. Unlike typical translation magic, this amulet does not merely interpret - it conveys intent,...

Carnival Widow’s Strand

-
Image
Carnival Widow’s Strand Aura faint necromancy; CL 7th Slot neck; Price 18,400 gp; Weight — DESCRIPTION At a glance, this strand of beads appears entirely mundane - a festive necklace of glossy purple, gold, and green spheres strung along a thin but durable cord. The beads reflect light with a lacquered sheen and give off the faint scent of cheap perfume and spilled liquor. No magical aura is detectable unless the item is actively triggered. The curse of the Carnival Widow’s Strand remains dormant until the wearer consumes their third alcoholic drink within a single evening (defined as sunset to sunrise) . Upon completion of the third drink, the beads animate instantly and without warning, tightening with violent, supernatural force around the wearer’s throat. The wearer must immediately succeed on a DC 18 Fortitude save or begin suffocating as if being strangled. On a failed save, the victim cannot speak or cast spells with verbal components and takes 2d6 points of damage p...

Moonroot Scepter of the Rougarou

Image
Moonroot Scepter of the Rougarou Aura: Moderate transmutation and necromancy Caster Level: 9th Slot: — (held) Weight: 3 lbs Description This short staff measures roughly 35.5 inches in length and appears to be grown rather than crafted. Its shaft is composed of glossy, black, root-like wood twisted into a natural spiral, slick to the touch as if perpetually damp. The surface bears subtle ridges resembling claw marks, though no tool seems responsible for them. At its head rests a smooth 2.5-inch sphere of pale moonstone. Under dim light, the stone appears cloudy and inert, but beneath moonlight it glows faintly with a cold, silvery luminescence. Those who stare too long into it sometimes report seeing movement - shapes pacing just beyond sight, as though something hunts along the edge of vision. When grasped, the staff feels faintly warm, like living flesh, and during the full moon it pulses with a slow, steady rhythm - akin to a heartbeat. Powers The Moonroot Scepter of the Rougaro...

Potion of Seduction

Image
Potion of Seduction Aura faint transmutation; CL 2nd Slot —; Price 400 gp; Weight — This potion is housed in a slender lavender-glass vial stoppered with a soft wax seal. When uncorked, a faint, perfumed vapor spills forth in delicate curls, carrying a subtle floral scent that lingers in the air. Upon imbibing, the drinker’s presence becomes uncannily compelling - their voice gains a silken cadence, their movements flow with effortless grace, and their features seem to align with the desires of those who behold them. For 4 minutes , the imbiber gains a +4 enhancement bonus to Charisma . This bonus applies to all Charisma-based checks and Charisma-related abilities as normal. Creatures who are already predisposed to find the imbiber sexually attractive perceive them as exceptionally alluring, often granting favorable reactions at the DM’s discretion, though this effect does not compel behavior or override free will. Spellcasters who rely on Charisma (such as sorcerers and bard...

Parallax Sphere of Unchosen Paths

-
Image
Parallax Sphere of Unchosen Paths Major Artifact Description This smooth, six-inch sphere of deep crimson sheen appears to be glass at first glance, though no imperfection, seam, or inclusion can be found within it. Its surface reflects not merely the viewer, but versions of the viewer - expressions slightly altered, posture subtly different, as though each reflection represents a decision never made. The sphere’s coloration is not uniform. When held in steady light, faint currents of darker and lighter red can be seen moving beneath the surface, like slow tides or drifting sediment. These motions do not follow any physical law, and at times seem to respond not to light or motion, but to proximity - particularly to living creatures engaged in thought or decision. Despite its apparent solidity, the sphere gives the unsettling impression of depth. Those who stare too long often report the sensation that they are not looking into it, but rather that something within is looking back...
