# Collected 5e Magic Items from the 2e PHBR series ## Bracelet of Charms **Uncommon item, 8 charges. Recovers 2d4 charges whenever the wearer takes a long rest**. This appears as a nicely crafted bracelet of gold links, the kind to which small charms and mementos are attached. If you slide the bracelet around the blade or haft of a weapon and speak the command word engraved on the bracelets clasp the weapon disappears and a gold charm matching the weapon appears on the bracelet. Thereafter when the wearer spends a charge and speaks the command word and the name of the weapon that weapon magically appears in the hand on whose wrist the bracelet rested, and the bracelet disappears (its inside the weapon). Saying the command word again and spending another charge turns the weapon back into the charm bracelet. Weapons can be released from the bracelet while it is not worn by spending a charge, naming the weapon and saying the command word backwards. The bracelet of Charms cannot be used on the same weapon as *Rings of Readiness*. ## Cage of Shelter **Uncommon item. Requires attunement** This appears as a neatly folded collapsible bird cage, approximately as big as a shield. It is activated when the owner places it on the ground and claps two or three times. If the user claps twice the cage grows to become a sturdy metal framed tent which can house 8 people. If the user claps three times the cage grows into a strong 10’ by 10’ cell. The door to the cell is locked by the *Arcane Lock* spell and only opens for the cages owner, but the cage itself can be broken open just as any heavy iron cage. To return the cage to its collapsed form the owner claps again, twice to collapse the tent or three times to collapse the cage. If creatures are inside – the tent opens and folds around them collapsing and leaving them unharmed. The cage does not fold around its occupants, collapsing into them and dealing 4d6 damage before shattering and being broken forever. ## Rings of Readiness **Uncommon item** This item appears as two plain iron rings, one finger sized, the other approximately 2’’ in diameter. The large ring is to be placed on an item. It can be sewn or bolted onto armour, or placed upon the pommel of a weapon (which it will shrink to fit). It can be attached to any item of personal gear that weighs less than 100lbs. If the wearer of the small ring says the command word as a bonus action, if the other ring is within 10 miles it will instantly transport its item to the user- weapons appear in the hand, armour/clothes appear worn, or next to the character if they are already wearing armour \columnbreak ## Saddle of the Spirit Horse **Rare item. Requires attunement** This item appears as an old, worn but otherwise ordinary leather saddle of good quality. Once you have attuned to the saddle it remains dormant until it has been worn by a horse for a whole day. Once primed nothing remarkable happens, unless the horse dies while wearing the saddle. If it does the spirit of the horse stays with the saddle for 24 hours. The round after the horse died the spirit of the horse will “awaken” and climb to its unseen feet, ready to carry its master wherever they need to go. The horses ghost continues to wear the saddle, and can be ridden as normal. The spirit horse has no unusual abilities – it has the same statistics as it did in life, except it is immune to exhaustion and can run at its old max speed for the entirety of its existence without penalty. The horse can be heard but not seen, although the saddle remains visible- floating oddly in the air atop the unseen horse. Ordinary horses do not like the spirit horse, becoming frightened if within 10’ of it (DC 10 Wis save to resist). At the end of its 24hrs, the horse’s owner may delay its journey to the afterlife by expending a hit dice, bolstering the spirit horse with their master’s life energy. Doing so keeps the horse on this plane for a further 24 hrs. the master can do this daily to keep the horse around indefinitely, but if the horse spirit is ever allowed to go to its final rest the saddle can not call it back again. ## Shield of the Medusae **Uncommon item** Perfectly mirror reflective from the outside and crystal clear from the inside, if the wearer of this Shield holds it in front of their face they are magically immune to gaze attacks. Further if targeted by a gaze attack the wearer may use their reaction to reflect that attack back onto its source- the creature must attempt whatever saving throw the gaze attack would have caused and suffers the effects of their gaze if failed as if they were the intended target. ## Amulet of Dramatic Death **Uncommon item. Requires attunement- 1 charge** As a reaction to being targeted by an attack that would deal enough damage to knock you unconscious or dead, or an effect that petrifies you, you may spend a charge and activate this amulet. You ignore the damage/effects of the triggering attack and become *Invisible* as the spell. In addition an Illusion of you appears in your place, appearing to take the damage and dying painfully. The Illusionary corpse lasts until the invisibility runs out/is broken. \pagebreak ## Boots of Balance **Uncommon item. Requires attunement** the wearer of these boots can not be knocked prone, and can move at full speed along tightropes or other slippery/uneven or unsafe surfaces without need for an ability check. ## Mantle of the Mundane **Uncommon item** This mottled grey/brown cloak makes its wearer seem bland and forgettable. Anyone who sees the wearer must make an Intelligence Saving throw (DC 20) to remember anything at all about the wearers appearance, including (but not limited to) race, height, sex, and any gear they were carrying beyond the shabby cloak itself. ## Shadowcloak **Rare item. Requires attunement. 8 charges, recovers 1 charge for every hour it is left within total darkness**. This inky black cloak gives advantage to Dexterity (Stealth) checks to Hide in shadows or other dark areas. It also makes the wearer invisible to darkvision. The wearer may spend 1 charge to cast the darkness spell or use 4 charges to polymorph themselves into a *Shadow* for up to an hour. ## Boxes of Delightful Transports **Rare item** Comes in a variety of shapes/sizes, but always as a matching pair. 3 times a day you can place something in one box and it is immediately teleported to the other box, unless that box is not on the same plane of existence. ## Lens of Remote Viewing **Uncommon item. Requires attunement** this clear crystal is about as large as a human eye (the name lens is a misnomer) once attuned the owner can see out of it, switching his viewpoint from his own eyes to the lens’s for up to 1 minute as an action. This works regardless of how far away the lens is as long as it remains on the same plane as its attuned user. ## Scabbard of Poison **Rare item** a weapon stored in a scabbard of poison deals +1d6 poison damage to the first successful hit it deals after being drawn.

That bolt is trailed by a pencil thin line of snaking blue light. When it hits the bolt magically embeds within the target, dealing damage as normal and leaving only the blue light tethering the target to the crossbow. This line lasts for up to 1 minute. While it exists the user can spend an action or bonus action reeling the line in, pulling the target towards them up to 60 ft. The target can resist this with a DC 18 Strength saving throw. If the target resists, or is an object weighing more than 1000 pounds then the wielder is pulled towards it by the amount the distance they tried to reel in unless they also succeed on the Strength saving throw. Grappled creatures have advantage on this saving throw. The line can be destroyed prematurely by dealing it 10 points of damage. ## Potion of Elasticity **Common Item** Drink a dose and you can stretch your legs, arms, neck, or other appendages to up to twice your Con score in feet.

It continues to sing for a whole minute, during which any creature that enters its area of effect or starts its turn within it must attempt the save. ## Airboat **Rare item** A 12’ long stone canoe that can be rowed through the air at a flying speed of 40 if there are two rowers manning the stone oars or 20 if there is only 1 rower. The direction of the canoes movement is decided by the “commander” who is sitting in its front spot and thusly can not also row. If stopped while in midair (say by killing or unseating the commander) the canoe floats in place for 1 minute and then slowly begins to sink to the ground at a rate 10. Strangely the stone canoe floats fine on water without using its magic and can be operated as a normal canoe in such circumstances. ## Ring of Resistance to Breath Weapons **Rare item** The wearer has resistance to damage from all forms of breath weapon and advantage on saving throws against Breath weapons, ## Collapsing Spell Book **Common Item** This book can be folded in on itself until it’s a 1’’ cube, for ease of carrying/storing/hiding. ## Pen of Excellence **Uncommon Item** Using this quill you can- write at double speed, draw perfectly accurate images of anything you can see, and flawlessly forge someone’s handwriting given a small sample to look at. ## Bracelet of Scaly Command **Rare item.
