Items From The Bag

Cleaver of Wild Swings

Weapon (greataxe), legendary (requires attunement by a Barbarian)

This monstrously garish axe is horribly unbalanced as all its weight is in the head. Whoever built this had only a slight idea of how to forge blades because once you swing it, you must pray to whoever may be listening so you don't miss your target.

This weapon grants a –3 penalty on attack rolls but a +3 bonus on damage rolls.

Gaping Wounds. On a hit, your target must make a DC 16 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, at the start of their turn, they suffer 2d6 damage. They remake this save at the end of their turn to end the effect.

Double or Nothing. Whenever you use your Reckless Attack feature, but before you know if you hit your target, you may also choose to increase the damage die to 2d12 until the end of your turn. If you miss an attack, this weapon becomes embedded in the ground, and you must use a bonus action to make a DC 16 Athletics check to remove it.

Dice of Fate

Wondrous item, very rare

A pair of six-sided stone dice with strange runes etched into them. These runes emit a pale blue light and seem connected to fate.

You can use a reaction when you, or a creature you can see within 30 feet, make an attack roll or ability check to add or subtract one of the recorded numbers from the attack roll or ability check's total. You can wait to use this reaction until after the creature rolls the d20, but you must decide before the Dungeon Master says whether the roll succeeds or fails. Each recorded number can only be used once. You lose any unused recorded numbers daily at dawn.

Girdle of Switching

Wondrous item, rare

On a success, there is no effect, but they learn of the curse.

The Golden Fish of Dubious Morals

Magical Creature, legendary

This goldfish lives in a sealed medium-sized glass bottle that can clip to your belt. The bottle includes a little castle and a small treasure chest, which opens randomly and has a few bubbles escape. This bottle is as strong as steel, and the fish seems perfectly fine and healthy without access to food or fresh water.

Upon looking at the goldfish, he appears to see you watching him and makes unblinking eye contact until you look away. This fish does not seem to trust you.

If a creature attempts to look at the goldfish, he appears to see you watching him and makes unblinking eye contact.

The owner can attempt to spy upon it using a DC 18 Stealth check. On a success, it is seen performing numerous sketchy acts, such as shredding documents, burying suspicious body shaped rugs in its sand, receiving strange packages in its mailbox, etc. On a failure, it again makes unblinking eye contact.

Every night, 1d10 gold coins disappear from the owner's possession and appear shrunken in the fish's bubbly chest. The owner can make a DC 18 Intimidation check to get the coins back that night.

Potion of Arcane Recovery

Potion, rare

This bright blue and indigo liquid swirls with white streaks and slightly bubbles. It smells like currants.

In addition, when this potion is consumed, the person who consumed it must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against their spell save DC or be poisoned for 1 hour.

Due to the volatile nature of the Potion of Arcane Recovery, the body will immediately develop a mild resistance to it. After this potion is drunk, you cannot benefit from another Potion of Arcane Recovery until you complete a long rest.

Potion of Banishment

Potion, very rare

This potion is bright orange and smells strongly of floral notes.

Whoever consumes this potion must succeed on a DC 25 Charisma save. On a failure, they are banished to the Plane of Pandemonium for 2d4 hours.

The wearer is unaware of the curse until an attempt is made to remove the ring. If the wearer tries to remove the ring, they must make on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw.

Ring of Fortunate Finales

Ring, very rare (requires attunement)

This ornate ring is adorned with intricate engravings of celestial bodies, and a shimmering sapphire set in its center seems to dance with inner light.

Fortune's Guidance. As a reaction, when you or a creature you can see within 30 feet of you makes an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw, you can grant them an advantage on the roll. Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again after you finish a long rest.

Wondrous item, legendary

Weapon (varies), legendary (requires attunement)

This weapon is lightly engulfed in magical flames and gives off a small amount of heat but does not harm the wielder. This weapon has an etching of a chicken with polished rubies for the eyes. Wielding this weapon causes them to glow brightly, and you hear slight clucking when swung.

You gain a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magical weapon. When you hit for an attack, it deals an additional 2d6 fire damage.

While holding this weapon, you may cast conjure animals once per long rest but can only summon chickens. (Axe Beak, MM pg317). You may also cast speak with animals three times per long rest (while using the spell this way, you may only speak with chickens).

Let's Change it Up. During a short or long rest, you may choose to change the type of weapon that you are wielding. Roll off the table below to determine what the weapon will be. If you roll what you currently wield, you may roll again but must use the new roll.

Curse. You are unwilling to part with this weapon and must always be kept within reach. Each time you attack with this weapon, you have the uncontrollable urge to cluck like a chicken. You have a disadvantage on attack rolls with any other weapons you attempt to wield.

You have advantage on Charisma checks to interact with chickens. All other Charisma checks when interacting with creatures other than chickens are made with disadvantage as you randomly cluck when speaking.

When you complete a long rest, roll a d10. On a 10, this curse causes you to lay an egg. The egg is extremely nutritious and can provide enough sustenance for a full day if eaten. On a 1, you lay a golden egg worth 100 gold but suffer 1 point of exhaustion.

Unyeilding Enforcers

Guardians of an ancient arcane citadel lost to time, Protectors are towering constructs that have patrolled its halls for millennia. These massive defenders, once commissioned by an alliance of archmages to safeguard against eldritch threats, have since become relics of forgotten wars. Each Sentinel is forged from enchanted adamantium and infused with the essence of powerful arcane users, granting them formidable resilience and power.

Bound by Ancient Magic. The first Protectors were created during the twilight of a war between rival mage guilds, when the dire need for guardians became paramount. Arcane rituals bound powerful but mortally wounded arcane weilders souls to towering frames of adamantium, fusing their consciousness into a singular, unstoppable entity. These constructs were designed not only to repel invaders but also to enforce the citadel's arcane decrees, ensuring the sanctity of its knowledge remained inviolate.

Constructs of Conflict. Infused with the conflicting wills of the arcane wielder spirits, Protectors are cursed to perpetually struggle against their own nature. Each Sentinel houses a distinct arcane power (such as lightning or fire) whose constant discord fuels their unwavering vigilance. Despite their unified purpose, these beings are plagued by internal strife, often causing them to lash out unpredictably or even turn against each other in moments of intense stress.

Forged in Eternal Vigilance. Each Protector is a testament to the ancient craftsmanship and arcane mastery of its creators. Usually standing over thirty feet tall, their towering frames are adorned with intricate runes and sigils that shimmer with latent magical energy. Their oversized but expertly crafted hands are from the same enchanted adamantium as their bodies, which serve as their primary weapons in the defense of their sanctum. Their steps echo through the halls like thunder, resonating with the power of the elemental spirits bound within.

Unyielding Nature. Protectors are immune to the mental effects that often plague mortal creatures. They require neither sustenance nor rest, their existence solely dedicated to their eternal guardianship.

So You Got The...

Bartholomew's Pirates

Overview. I designed it for parties with 4 players between levels 7 to 10, but who knows what will happen. You found a water-logged rum bottle containing a plea for help for anyone who finds this. It contains a map to a distant island and the last location of the ship of Bartholomew's Pirates.
