Whisperfang


Aura faint illusion and necromancy; CL 7th
Slot —; Price 12,302 gp; Weight 1 lb.

DESCRIPTION

This +1 dagger appears thin and almost translucent, its edge shimmering like breath on glass. Whisperfang grants a +5 competence bonus on Bluff checks made while it is held.

Once per day, when striking a flat-footed opponent, the wielder may channel the dagger’s magic to deal an additional 2d6 points of damage and force the target to succeed on a DC 14 Will save or become shaken for 1d4 rounds.

If used to deliver a coup de grace, the dagger allows the wielder to perfectly mimic the victim’s voice for 24 hours, as though affected by disguise self (voice only). However, each use imposes a cumulative 5% chance that the wielder involuntarily speaks in the victim’s voice at inappropriate moments.

LORE

Whisperfang is rumored to have belonged to an assassin who never needed to hide - because he could become anyone. His victims were not merely killed; they were replaced, their voices lingering just long enough to unravel the lives they left behind.

The dagger is said to hunger not for blood, but for identity. Those who wield it too often begin to forget the sound of their own voice, instead recalling only echoes of others.

In Ravenloft, Whisperfang is frequently found in domains ruled by paranoia, where no face can be trusted and even one’s own voice may betray them.

Guk’s Second Chance

Guk’s Second Chance Aura moderate divination and transmutation; CL 7th Slot ring; Price 12,000 gp; Weight — DESCRIPTION This thick, uneven ring appears crudely forged from mismatched metals - iron and bronze fused together in a manner that suggests more determination than craftsmanship. Its surface bears shallow dents and subtle warping, yet it settles onto any finger with uncanny comfort, resizing itself as though eager to be worn. Three times per day, when the wearer rolls a natural 1 on an attack roll, saving throw, or skill check, they may immediately reroll the result as an immediate action. The wearer must accept the result of the reroll, even if it is another natural 1. The decision to reroll must be made after the natural 1 is rolled but before the effects of the failure are resolved. In addition, once per day, if the wearer would suffer the effects of a confirmed critical fumble (if such rules are in use), they may instead treat the result as a normal failure. This decisi...

The Nieliah Talisman

Image
This magical talisman is created by  Pépin Rey  and serves as a direct connection to the benevolent loa known as  Nieliah . Three times per day the user can call upon the loa, and when they do so a 40' area (focused on the talisman) is covered in a glowing pale blue fog that appears to look like rushing water without ever diminishing in volume. The effect lasts for three rounds maximum per use. The user brings special favor upon themselves and their allies while bringing disfavor to their enemies. The user and each of their allies gain a +1 luck bonus on attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saves, and skill checks, while each of their foes takes a -1 penalty on such rolls. Faint enchantment; CL 3; Craft Wonderous Item, Prayer; Price 13,500 gp Lore Among the quieter currents of the bayou’s spiritual tapestry, the loa known as Nieliah is spoken of not in fear, nor in reverence alone, but in relief. Where other spirits demand, bargain, or test, Nieliah is said to balance - ...

Spoon of Chastisement

Spoon of Chastisement Aura faint enchantment; CL 3rd Slot —; Price 1,200 gp; Weight 1 lb Description This unassuming wooden spoon appears worn and well-used, its surface smoothed by time and countless “lessons learned.” It is often found in the possession of stern caretakers, patient matriarchs, and those who believe that discipline is best taught with equal parts love and force of will. Despite its humble appearance, the Spoon of Chastisement functions as a +1 sap (see Dungeon Master’s Guide ). It deals 1d4 points of nonlethal bludgeoning damage on a successful hit. However, the true magic of the spoon reveals itself when it strikes true. On a successful hit, the target must succeed on a Will saving throw (DC 14) or be affected as though by a command spell, issued by the wielder. The command must be a single word and must be something that the target can reasonably understand and perform in a single round. Creatures that successfully save are shaken for 1 round from the su...
