Reaper's Crop

T OMBS, MORTUARIES, AND

graveyards are all filled

with macabre treasures for

those who can stomach it.

Humor the humble ghoul

and purchase the cream

of the reaper’s crop, each

twisted trinket a keepsake of

lives lost and a dark boon for

the unafraid. No immorality

taints these wares, not really,

Chattering Skull
Wondrous item, uncommon (cost 130 gp)
This bleached white human skull is covered in
occult symbols and its jaw hangs loosely open. The
skull can be implanted with a message and trigger
condition (as the spell magic mouth). Once the skull
has repeated a message in this way it cannot do so
again for the next 24 hours.
Alternatively, the skull can be thrown up to 20
feet as an action. When it hits the skull smashes with
a horribly loud screech. Each creature in a 10-foot-
radius sphere centered on that point must make a
DC 13 Constitution saving throw. A creature takes
13 (3d8) thunder damage on a failed save, or half as
much damage on a successful one. A creature made
of inorganic material such as stone, crystal, or metal
has disadvantage on this saving throw. Nonmag-
ical objects that aren’t being worn or carried also
take the damage if they are in the area.
Cockatrice Wishbone
Wondrous item, common (requires attunement; cost 60 gp)
This turkey-sized collar bone feels strangely stony
as if fossilized and hangs on a simple leather loop
as a necklace. While wearing this necklace you
gain a +2 bonus on saving throws made to resist
the petrified condition.
Alternatively, the bone can be used for a strange
form of contest. If two creatures each hold a
different end of the bone, either can break it as
an action. If the bone is broken in this way, each
creature holding the bone must make an opposed
Constitution check (reroll tying results). Nothing

happens to the creature with the higher result.
The creature with the lower result makes a DC 17
Constitution saving throw or becomes petrified for
the next 24 hours.
Deacon’s Reliquary
Wondrous item, common (cost 50 gp)
This small glass and silver bauble contains a holy-
man’s finger bone afloat in preservatives. The bone
still contains some of the forgotten preacher’s power
and it reacts to the presence of undead. Whenever
the reliquary is within 60 feet of an undead, it glows
with white light in a 10-foot radius and dim light
for a further 10 feet.
Alternatively, divine spellcasters can use the holy
power within the bone as a somewhat macabre
power source. A creature that knows at least one
spell from the cleric or paladin spell lists can
destroy the reliquary as an action, absorbing the
power within it to regain up to 1 expended spell
slot of 1st level.
Desecrated Blood Flask
Wondrous item, common (cost 25 gp)
This dark tinted flask contains sickly black blood.
As an action, you can splash the contents of this
flask onto a creature within 5 feet of you or throw
it up to 20 feet, shattering it on impact. In either
case, make a ranged attack, treating the desecrated
blood as an improvised weapon. If the target is a
celestial or creature of good alignment, it takes
2d6 necrotic damage.
A cleric or paladin of an evil god may create
desecrated blood by performing a special ritual.
The ritual takes 1 hour to perform, uses 25 gp worth
of brimstone and blood, and requires expending a
1st level spell slot.
Devil’s Finger
Wondrous item, uncommon (cost 150 gp)
This long, clawed, and desiccated pointer finger
writhes and twists when held at the bone. As an
action, you can use the writhing finger to scratch
yourself or a creature within reach that is either
willing or restrained. The scratch of a devil’s finger
produces a strange warty growth within an hour
commonly known as a witchmark that lasts for
the next 24 hours. Witchmarks produce a sense of
unease amongst the holy and camaraderie amongst
the fiendish. While a creature has a witchmark it
detects as a fiend and makes all Charisma checks to
influence good-aligned creatures with a –2 penalty,
gaining a +2 bonus when making Charisma checks
to influence evil-aligned creatures.
Alternatively, a devil’s finger can be grafted onto
a creature permanently in place of an existing
finger. The semi-magical surgery takes 1 hour
and cannot be reversed. Afterward the creature
makes all Charisma checks to influence creatures
of good alignment with disadvantage, and it makes
Charisma checks to influence creatures of evil
alignment with advantage.
Fleshbound Spellbook
Wondrous item, uncommon (requires attunement by a
spellcaster; cost 150 gp)
This grimoire is bound with stitched-together bits
of human flesh and a single eye on its face watches
whoever holds it. This spellbook, along with
anything written on its pages, can’t be damaged by
immersion in water or aging. In addition, the spell-
book refuses to open for any creature other than the
spellcaster it is attuned to. Creatures can force the
spellbook open with a DC 25 Strength (Athletics)
check, but it can also be bribed or coerced into
opening by either offering it a spell scroll (which
it magically consumes) or with a successful DC 18
Charisma (Persuasion) check. When a new spell-
caster attunes to it, any spells within it written by a
previous spellcaster are erased.
Enchanted Trinkets: Reaper's Crop  |  EN World EN5ider
Alternatively, the book can be angered (through
spilling ink or tearing a page), and set as a trap as an
action. Once set in this way, the book animates and
attacks the next creature that touches it. The book
uses the statistics of a flying sword, except its False
Appearance trait refers to books instead of swords.
The book remains angry until it kills a creature, is
destroyed, or is appeased with an offered spell scroll
or a successful DC 18 Charisma (Persuasion) check.
Gallow Hand
Wondrous item, uncommon (cost 110 gp)
This grisly trophy is the hand of a man hung at the
gallows, dipped in wax rendered from his own fat
and wicked with his own hair. The fingers of this
strange and complicated remnant of a malcontent
can be lit just like a normal candle to shed bright
light in a 5-foot radius and dim light for a further
10 feet. The light shed by a gallow hand is only
visible to its holder and is completely invisible to
all other creatures.
Alternatively, all five fingers of the hand can be
lit as an action. If the hand is lit in this way, it sheds
bright light in a 10-foot radius and dim light for a
further 20 feet. This light is invisible to the holder
but visible to all other creatures. Any creature other
than the holder that enters this area of light for the
first time on its turn or starts its turn there must
make a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw, or become
charmed. While charmed by this effect, a creature’s
movement speeds are reduced to 0 until the start
of its next turn. Once lit in this way the gallow hand
burns for the next minute, after which it deterio-
rates into a molten nub.
Jarred Brain
Wondrous item, common (cost 75 gp)
A humanoid brain floats in formaldehyde within
this glass and iron jar, the electrodes protruding
from its lid sparking on occasion as the mass of
tissue within twitches. You can use an action to
gain a flash of insight by shocking your own mind
with the jar’s electrodes, taking 1d6 lightning
damage. For the next minute, you have advantage
on Intelligence checks. Once the jar is used in this
way the sparks recede and it cannot be used in this
way again for the next 24 hours.
Alternatively, the brain can be wired up directly
to the mind of another creature. This process takes
1 minute and allows a creature to consult the jarred
brain about a specific course of action (as the spell
augury), after which it shatters and destroys the brain.
Lucky Halfling Foot
Wondrous item, common (requires attunement;
cost 95 gp)
This small hairy humanoid foot has been chemi-
cally preserved and attached to a simple chain
necklace as a pendant. Whenever you roll a natural
1 for an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw
while wearing this necklace, you may choose
to reroll and must use the new result. Once you
make a reroll in this way, you cannot do so again
for the next 24 hours. In addition, halflings get an
unnerving sense of this macabre trophy even when
it is hidden, and while wearing this necklace you
have disadvantage on all Charisma (Persuasion)
checks to influence halflings.
Alternatively, these mortal remains can be buried
or burned properly through halfling funerary rites
taking 1 hour. If these rites are completed, any crea-
tures in attendance (a maximum of 8) gain a point
of inspiration.
Shrunken Imp Head
Wondrous item, common (cost 35 gp)
This walnut-sized head of a fiend mumbles occa-
sionally as if trying to speak but cannot, its eyes
and mouth sewn shut with a rough black cord. The
head longs to escape this prison and return to Hell,
shaking violently and cursing whenever it is within
60 feet of a fiend or an active portal to Hell.
Alternatively, as an action you can direct the
head at a visible creature within 60 feet and cut the
cord tying the imp’s lips, causing it to burst into
flames and the spirit inside to lash out. The target
Enchanted Trinkets: Reaper's Crop  |  EN World EN5ider
must make a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw, taking
2d10 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much
damage on a successful one.
Sinner’s Ashes
Wondrous item, common (cost 35 gp)
This small stark urn contains the ashen remains of
an unholy humanoid. As an action, you can throw
the urn up to 30 feet away where it shatters and
produces a 20-foot radius black cloud of ash. This
area is heavily obscured and any creature that ends
its turn within the area must make a DC 13 Constitu-
tion saving throw or take 2d4 necrotic damage. This
ash cloud remains for 1 minute, until a moderate
wind (at least 10 miles per hour) disperses the cloud
in 4 rounds, or for a strong wind (20 or more miles
per hour) to disperse it in 1 round.
Alternatively, the ashes can be used as an ingest-
ible poison. The urn contains enough ashes for a
single dose, and any celestial or creature of good
alignment that consumes them must make a DC
16 Constitution saving throw, taking 5d8 necrotic
damage on a failed save, or half as much damage
on a successful one.
Skeleton Key
Wondrous item, common (cost 55 gp)
This miniature skeleton holding a knife has been
carved out of a human’s vertebrae. As an action,
you can use the miniature knife to self-inflict 1d4
damage that ignores all resistances and immunities.
When you do so, the skeleton animates and walks
towards the nearest locked door or object within 10
feet, then plunges itself into the lock and makes a
Dexterity (thieves’ tools) check with a +10 bonus to
crack the lock. Whether successful or unsuccessful,
the skeleton then walks back to you and returns to
its inanimate state.
Alternatively, you can use an action to cover
the skeleton in blood. When you do so, the skel-
eton rushes to the nearest lock within 10 feet and
unlocks it as per the spell knock before dissolving
into red mist. e
