💎 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗺! Helm of the Chameleon
Wondrous item, uncommon ___ This tall knight’s helm is made in the likeness of a chameleon. While wearing it, you can look in any direction without turning your head, unless it’s directly behind you. In addition, you can use an action to change the pattern and color of yourself and anything that you’re wearing or holding. The change is illusory, and it ends as soon as you willingly move more than half your speed on a turn, when you choose to end the effect (no action required), or if you’re no longer wearing the helm. If you change your appearance in this way to better blend into your surroundings, Wisdom (Perception) checks made to see you have disadvantage until you change your appearance again or your surroundings change. ___ ✨ Patrons get huge perks!

💎 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗺! Lamp of Moonlight
Wondrous item, rare __ This crescent moon-shaped lantern has four commands. You can use an action to speak one of its command words if you’re holding it. The lantern’s first command word causes it to shed bright light in a 10-foot radius between dawn and dusk, or a 20-foot radius between dusk and dawn. While lit in this way, it also sheds dim light for another 20 feet, regardless of the time. Speaking the command word again while the lantern is lit extinguishes it. The lantern’s second command word causes it to emit an instantaneous flash of bright light out to a range of 30 feet. When you do, any illusion within that bright light is dispelled if it was created by a spell of 3rd level or lower. This command word can’t be used again until the next dusk. The lantern’s third command word causes any nonmagical light source within 30 feet of it to be extinguished. This command word can’t be used again until the next dusk. The lantern’s fourth command word casts the “moonbeam” spell from it (save DC 15; 3rd-level version). This command word can’t be used again until the next dusk. ___ ✨ Patrons get huge perks!

⚔️ 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗺! Bolt Rifle
Weapon (musket), rare (requires attunement) ___ This magic musket uses a bolt-loading mechanism. It shoots a bullet propelled by lightning when fired, which emits instantaneous bright light out to a range of 20 feet along the bullet’s path. Attack rolls with this magic weapon are made with advantage if the target is made of metal or is wearing metal armor. In addition, the first target you hit on a turn with it takes an extra 1d6 lightning damage; if you had advantage on the attack roll, you can roll the lightning damage’s die twice and use the higher result. 𝙇𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙠𝙚. The rifle has 3 charges, and it regains 1d3 expended charges daily at dawn. When you hit a target with an attack roll using this weapon, you can expend 1 or more of its charges to increase the number rolled on the d20 by the same number of charges, up to a maximum of 20, as if you rolled that number on the die instead. Regardless of the result, the target of the attack and other creatures of your choice within 10 feet of it that you can see must then make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 2d6 lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one; this lightning damage is increased by 1d6 for each additional charge you expend after the first. Once this property has been used, it can’t be used again until the next dawn. ___ ✨ Patrons get huge perks!

💎 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗺! Champion’s Belt
Wondrous item, very rare (requires attunement) ___ While wearing this belt, you can use an action to automatically escape from any nonmagical grapple or restraint. In addition, your fists are considered to be “+1 clubs,” allowing you to make unarmed strikes with them as if they were weapons you’re wielding with the normal properties of a club; if your Strength score is 17 or higher, the damage die becomes a d6. 𝙋𝙞𝙡𝙚𝙙𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙚. Once per turn when you knock a creature prone and are wielding no other weapons, you can make a single unarmed strike with your fist (no action required) against that creature. Your attack roll for this unarmed strike scores a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20. 𝙏𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙙𝙤𝙬𝙣 𝙍𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙖𝙡. When a creature within 5 feet of you misses you with a melee attack, you can use a reaction to force that creature to make a DC 15 Strength saving throw.

💎 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗺! Goose Pipes
Wondrous item, uncommon ___ These magic bagpipes sound like honking geese. You can use an action to play three harsh notes in rapid succession to magically summon a swarm of geese in an unoccupied space of your choice that you can see within 30 feet of you. Use the swarm of ravens statblock for the geese, except that its hit point maximum is doubled. The swarm takes its turn immediately after yours and attacks the nearest target that it can see. The swarm disappears after 1 minute or when it’s reduced to 0 hit points. Once the bagpipes summon a swarm of geese in this way, it can’t do so again until the next dawn. If you’re proficient with bagpipes, the geese are friendly to you and your companions unless you harm them. If you aren’t proficient with bagpipes, the geese are hostile. ___ ✨ Patrons get huge perks!

💎 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗺! Throne of the Lion
Wondrous item, rare ___ This golden throne is covered in lion-like embellishments, complete with feet, claws, and mane. It doubles as a single golden lion “figurine of wondrous power,” except that you must touch it when you speak its first command word to cause it to become a lion, and it can’t be used again until 3 days have passed, instead of 7. You can speak its second command word as an action to make the throne stand slightly taller. The chair continues to stand in this way until you or another creature sit in it. If you move more than 30 feet from the throne, it follows you until it is within 30 feet of you, using a walking speed of 30 feet. It takes the shortest route to do so. If prevented from moving, the chair sinks to its normal resting height and becomes inactive. While sitting on the throne, you can use an action to command it to carry you a distance up to its walking speed, and you have advantage on Wisdom (Animal Handling) checks you make to interact with any kind of cat, even if it isn’t domesticated. ___ ✨ Patrons get huge perks!

When found, the book contains the following spells, which are wizard spells for you while you’re attuned to it: “create food and water”, “goodberry”, “grease”, “heroes’ feast”, and “purify food and drink”. It functions as a spellbook for you, and you can use it as a spellcasting focus for your wizard spells.

The book also has 7 charges for the following properties. It regains 1d6 + 1 expended charges daily at dawn. If you expend the last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the book dissolves into a delicious (but hot) soup. 𝘾𝙪𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙧𝙮 𝘾𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜. While the book is on your person, you can expend 1 or more of its charges when you cast one of the spells listed above.

You choose the flavor of the cake each time, as well as which of the following magical benefits it has. The cake grows stale and loses its magic after 1 hour.

⚔️ 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗺! Leaf Carver
Weapon (dagger), common ___ This jade gardening knife is in the shape of a curled leaf. When you use it as part of making an Intelligence (Nature) or Wisdom (Survival) check, or an ability check using an herbalism kit, you can roll a d4 and add the number rolled to the total.

🛡 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗺! Skeletal Armor
Armor (studded leather or hide), rare ___ This armor is covered in hardened bones and skeletal fragments. You can use a bonus action while wearing this armor to transform its skeletal remains into a skeleton that’s one size larger than you (a minimum of Large) for 1 minute; you remain inside the skeleton’s chest cavity for the duration. You then gain 1d10 + 20 temporary hit points: the effect ends early if you no longer have these temporary hit points, if you’re no longer within the chest cavity, or if you end the effect using a bonus action. When the effect ends, any remaining temporary hit points are lost, and the skeleton reforms around the armor as you land in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of it. If the effect ends early as a result of you losing these temporary hit points, you must also succeed on a DC 10 Dexterity saving throw or fall prone. While within the skeleton’s chest cavity, you control it like an extension of your normal form (your AC and other statistics remain the same). When the armor transforms, you can choose to have it wield any weapon you’re holding; any weapon it’s wielding drops to the ground at your feet when the armor returns to its normal form. The skeleton otherwise carries no weapons.

💎 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗺! Liulian’s Hexsatchel
Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement) ___ This small leather satchel was once used as a witch’s component pouch for her spells.

A creature hit with a thrown dart takes an extra 1d6 poison damage and must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned for 1 minute. When you hit a creature that you poisoned in this way with an attack, it takes an extra 1d6 necrotic damage. A poisoned creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. A creature that succeeds on the saving throw against this effect is immune to it for the next 24 hours.

⚔️ 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗺! Avalanche Hammer
Weapon (maul or warhammer), very rare ___ This frigid hammer carries a block of unmelting ice from the Everglacier encased in steel. This magic weapon deals an extra 1d4 cold damage to any target it hits, or 2d4 if the target is prone. The hammer grows colder with each strike it makes, which are represented with charges. Each time you hit a creature with the hammer, it gains 1 charge, up to a maximum of 5. An unused charge is lost after 1 minute. 𝘼𝙫𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙝𝙚.

Each target in the cone must make a DC 15 Strength saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 3d6 bludgeoning damage and 3d6 cold damage and is pushed up to 10 feet away from you and knocked prone. A creature that succeeds on the saving throw takes half as much damage, is only pushed up to 5 feet away from you, and isn’t knocked prone. Once this property has been used, the hammer can’t gain charges again until 10 minutes have passed. ___ ✨ Patrons get huge perks!

📜 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗺! Doom Scroll
Scroll, uncommon ___ This scroll appears to be a “spell scroll”. An “identify” spell reveals its true nature. On the scroll are the apparent mystical words to a random 3rd-level spell; choose or roll a d8 to decide between “bestow curse” (1), “fear” (2), “fireball” (3), “hypnotic pattern” (4), “major image” (5), “sending” (6), “stinking cloud” (7), or “tongues” (8). Regardless of the spell, the words inscribed on the scroll are faulty: a creature that attempts to transcribe the spell or cast it by reading the scroll must immediately succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or be incapacitated. A creature that’s incapacitated in this way has a speed of 0. The creature can repeat the saving throw after 10 minutes have passed and whenever it takes damage for the duration, ending the effect on a success. Once the creature succeeds on the saving throw, the scroll turns to ash and is destroyed. ___ ✨ Patrons get huge perks!

💎 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗺! Switcheroo Cups
Wondrous item, uncommon ___ These cups are a favorite of tricksters, illusionists, and gamblers. They’re made of a soft porcelain with a pleasing blue pattern, and they typically come in sets of four. While holding one of the cups, you can speak its command word to cause the cup you’re holding to magically switch places with another one that you can see, provided it’s within 10 feet of you. The cups switch instantly, including anything contained within them. A creature can detect the switch with a successful DC 15 Wisdom (Perception) check. Other differences in the cups, such as what’s contained within, may make it more obvious that there was a switch. Once two cups have been switched, neither of those cups can be switched again until the next dawn. The cups’ command word is unique in that it’s an extremely common word (typically “Well,” “Good,” or “See” in Common) but only activates if the holder is also gently tapping the cup (such as conversationally or thoughtfully). ___ ✨ Patrons get huge perks!

⚔️ 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗺! Musket of Insult and Injury
Weapon (musket), very rare ___ This wide-mouthed musket releases an audible and maniacal laugh whenever it’s fired, in addition to the sound of the blast. This weapon uses 3d6 for its damage dice, instead of 1d12. When at least one of the weapon’s damage dice rolls a 6, the target takes an additional 1d6 psychic damage from the attack. When this happens, if the target is a creature and can understand at least one language, it must also make a DC 16 Charisma saving throw; the target automatically succeeds on this save if it has immunity to psychic damage. On a failed save, the next attack roll or ability check that creature makes before the end of its next turn is made with disadvantage. ___ ✨ Patrons get huge perks!

⚔️ 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗺! Wandelabra Staff
Staff, uncommon ___ This staff resembles an especially tall candelabra, with holders made for wands instead of candles. While holding it, harmless candlelights float above each of the empty wand holders; the candlelight appears at the tip of any wand held by it, which slot into the holder like a typical candle. The staff can hold up to three wands. Physically adding a wand to the staff or removing one from it requires an action. While holding the staff, you can use any of its held wands as if they were in your hand. You must still meet the prerequisites for any wand you use in this way, such as being attuned to it.
