INTRODUCTION TO
THE 4.0 VERSION
In this version, I added over 150 items from DUNGEON
MAGAZINE! There was no “official” launch magazine for 3.5
for DUNGEON MAGAZINE, meaning, there was no single issue
that had stamped “First Issue D&D 3.5” the way DRAGON
MAGAZINE did. However, DRAGON MAGAZINE’s first 3.5 issue
was released in June of 2003, therefore, I assumed DUNGEON
MAGAZINE 100, which was released in the same month, to be
the first 3.5 issue.
Also, I went back through the issues of DRAGON MAGAZINE
and added some items I missed the first time around and
some items I just plain skipped such as the magic item sets.
Formatting has been changed in an attempt to emulate the
MAGIC ITEM COMPENDIUM more closely. Chapters were
added and two columns were changed to three.
I hope everyone enjoys this release. I don’t see any more
additions in the future unless I add some web content.
Hmm…
INTRODUCTION
I started compiling items for my own benefit quite
sometime ago. There is so much information in each
magazine that it is nearly impossible to remember where it
all came from. With every magic item in one place I could
quickly search through them and see if anything fits into my
campaign.
With the advent of the MAGIC ITEM COMPENDIUM, WotC
released a new format for magic items. I went back through
my old entries and decided to convert them all to this new
format. What better time to finish this project than with the
demise of 3.5. Since there is no new “official” 3.5 material this
compilation can be closed forever. I hope some one finds this
useful.

Every item here has been entered by OCR and
painstakingly proofread. In some cases, the OCR was so bad
that entire items had to be completely manually transcribed.
Most items appear as they did in the magazine with these
exceptions:
• Whenever an item description was apparent in the text
it was broken out and moved to the top and italicized
to fit the new format. This sometimes meant changing
the original text for readability. For instances, “it” or
“this” was changed to the item name or part of the item
name.
• For a few issues a new standardization was adopted
that was not the final standardization found in the
MAGIC ITEM COMPENDIUM. These items were the most
changed since there entries were often redundant. For
example, there was an “activation” section which was
sometimes unnecessary and eliminated or was
repeated in another section labeled “description”.
• Text that was simply informational (i.e. had no bearing
on game play), was broken out and moved to a section
called “Lore”.
• Text that told what body slot the item uses was
eliminated.
• Some items coming from DUNGEON MAGAZINES had
adventure specific text omitted or changed to read
more generally. Any changes had no impact on how
the magic item operates or its statistics.
Any changes are by no means detrimental to the actual
item. I have not changed a single word because I didn’t like
it. Anything that was changed or eliminated was done with
a specific reasoning in mind. If for any reason you do not
trust my judgment, feel free to reference the actual
magazine. However, I feel confident everything has been
entered relatively correctly.

magazine and the books. Although, doing this project I can
see how easy it is to make mistakes or forget formatting. The
MAGIC ITEM COMPENDIUM lists action types with a qualifier
(such as command, mental, or manipulation) and items using
the new layout in the later DRAGON MAGAZINE’s seem to
omit this. Also, in the MAGIC ITEM COMPENDIUM, multiple

the items in the magazine don’t list activation like this.

the reader to determine.

 Complete Dragon & Dungeon Magazine 3.5 Magic Items – Armor Properties
CHAPTER 1:
ARMOR
ARMOR
PROPERTIES
To add a special property to a shield
or suit of armor, the shield or armor
must already have at least a +1
enhancement bonus. A single suit of
armor or shield cannot have a modifi
ed bonus (enhancement bonus plus
special ability bonus equivalents)
higher than +10, nor can it have a
market price (not counting special
A secret, well‐guarded vault holds the Treasures of Greyhawk

materials or the price of the
masterwork armor or shield itself) of
greater than 200,000 gp. For armor or
shields that exceed these limits, see
EPIC LEVEL HANDBOOK.
Unless noted otherwise in the
property’s Property entry, each
special property in this chapter can be
added either to a suit of armor or
shield.
BLADEJINX
Price: +2 bonus
Caster Level: 9th
Aura: Moderate; (DC 19) abjuration
Activation: ––
Source: Dragon 339 (Class Acts:
Hexblade Curses)
Bladejinx armor harnesses the
hexblade’s power to manipulate
fortune. A hexblade wearing
bladejinx armor can, up to three times
per day, force an enemy who just
confirmed a critical hit to reroll his
confirmation roll. The foe must take
the result of the second roll.
Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and
Armor, creator must be a hexblade.
 Complete Dragon & Dungeon Magazine 3.5 Magic Items – Specific Armor/Shields
SPECIFIC ARMOR
AND SHIELDS
The following suits of armor and
shields are usually constructed with
exactly the properties described here.
You can increase the enhancement
bonus of these armors and shields or add
more special properties, just as you
would for any other item. The items in
this section are arranged alphabetically.
AGUSTINIUS’S FOLLY
Price (Item Level): 6,000 gp (10th)
Body Slot: Body
Caster Level: 8th
Aura: Moderate; (DC 19) enchantment
Activation: Full (command) and Free
Weight: 35 lbs.
Source: Dragon 324 (Magic Shop: Power
At A Price)
This +2 banded mail grants its wearer
the ability to inspire courage once per
day as an 8th-level bard. To activate the
ability, the wearer must use a full-round
action to give an inspiring speech. The
ability lasts for as long as the wearer
keeps speaking (which is a free action) +5
rounds.
Unfortunately, the magic of this armor
is unstable, and 10% of the time, the
ability does not work and instead panics
all affected creatures for 10 rounds.
Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and
Armor, creator must be a bard.
ARBOREAL ARMOR
Price (Item Level): 16,000 gp (14th)
Body Slot: Body
Caster Level: 5th
Aura: Faint; (DC 17) abjuration
Activation: –– and Standard (command)
Weight: 15 lbs.
Source: Dragon 326 (Magic Shop:
Nature Unleashed)
Arboreal armor appears as plates of bark
held together by vines and covered with
patches of moss. The armor has an earthy
smell, and it is favored by wood elves, who
find it especially suited to their naturalistic
taste.
Druids created arboreal armor for their
ranger allies so they might better defend
the wilds against despoilers.
Arboreal armor functions as a set of +2
leather armor. Its appearance gives the
wearer a +4 bonus on Hide checks made
in forested settings. The armor

automatically regenerates damage dealt
to it at the rate of 1 hit point per hour.
The wearer can cast entangle three times
per day, and the armor itself casts
goodberry every morning at dawn,
growing five berries from its own form.
Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and
Armor, entangle, goodberry.
ARMOR OF THE LONG
JOURNEY
Price (Item Level): 39,650 gp (17th)
Body Slot: Body
Caster Level: 6th
Aura: Moderate; (DC 18) abjuration
Activation: ––
Weight: 25 lbs.
Source: Dragon 328 (Bazaar of the
Bizarre: Treasures of the Elven Empire)
A suit of armor of the long journey is made
from a mundane-looking steel alloy bearing
no special marks or runes. While the armor
appears bulky, a closer inspection reveals that
it is actually as light as a chain shirt.
Armor of the long journey protects its
wearer as a suit of +2 full plate armor of cold
resistance. The suit, however, is so light
that its owner can move at his normal
base land speed, rather than the reduced
land speed caused by normal full plate.
The armor of the long journey also aids its
wearer in carrying great loads. While
wearing this armor, the owner treats all
medium loads as light loads, and all
heavy loads as medium loads.
Furthermore, the wearer of armor of the
long journey never suffers from the effects
of fatigue caused by traveling. Combat
and other conditions (such as swimming,
raging, and certain spells) fatigue the
wearer normally.
Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and
Armor, bear's endurance, resist energy.
ARMOR OF THE
WOODLAND
Price (Item Level): 75,755 gp (19th)
Body Slot: Body
Caster Level: 9th
Aura: Moderate; (DC 19) conjuration
Activation: –– and Standard (command)
Weight: 1 lb.
Source: Dragon 322 (Sneaky, Stealthy,
& Stylish: New Magic Items for
Assassins, Rogues, and Bards)
The armor, which is almost as light as a
wool shirt, looks like a jumbled pile of crushed
leaves, broken branches, and thin pieces of
bark.
Shaped in the form of a leather vest, a
suit of armor of the woodland comes
complete with shoulder pads, elbow
protectors, and greaves. The most
common of these suits are of a dark green
color, but shades can vary from bright
reds and oranges to pale yellows and
greens.
Armor of the woodland is a suit of +3
leather armor. Whenever the wearer of
such a suit of armor travels through a
forest, he adds 10 feet to his base land
speed and gains the trackless step ability
of druids. The armor's most impressive
power allows its wearer to enter trees and
magically transport from one to another
three times per day. This ability works
just like the tree stride spell as cast by a
9th-level druid.
Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and
Armor, woodland stride ability or pass
without trace, tree stride.
Armor of the Woodland
Complete Dragon & Dungeon Magazine 3.5 Magic Items – Specific Armor/Shields
ARMOR OF
THROR
Price (Item
Level): 60,750 gp
(18th)
Body Slot: Body
Caster Level: 13th
Aura: Strong; (DC 21) abjuration
Activation: ––
Weight: 50 lbs.
Source: Dragon 323 (Magic Shop:
Treasures of the Dwarven Holds)
This armor is a set of beautifully crafted
half-plate. Fashioned from solid gold with
many intricate patterns etched into the metal,
these suits hold Thror's heraldic symbol upon
the breastplate: the face of a mighty boar
holding a rose between its clenched teeth.
Although most people do not recognize this
ancient and prestigious symbol, many
dwarves do.
An armor of Thror is a +2 fortification
(heavy) half-plate. In addition, if an enemy
makes a melee attack that would
normally cause a critical hit or sneak
attack, the armor strikes that foe with a
bolt of energy that deals 8d6 points of
electricity damage. An attacker who
makes a DC 14 Reflex save suffers only
half damage.
Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and
Armor, lightning bolt.
ARMS OF HOUSE
MELARN
Price (Item Level): 85,300 gp (20th)
Body Slot: Body
Caster Level: 12th
Aura: Strong; (DC 21) transmutation
Activation: ––
Weight: 20 lbs.
Source: Dragon 312 (Rogues Gallery:
The Heroes of the War of the Spider
Queen Part II)
This armor is a suit of +5 elven
chainmail of nimbleness that also grants the
wearer a +4 enhancement bonus to
Strength. The nimbleness property raises
the maximum Dexterity bonus of the
armor to +6 and reduces the armor check
penalty to -1.
Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and
Armor, bull's strength, cat's grace.

ARMS OF THE JAEZRED
CHAULSSIN
Price (Item Level): 92,250 gp (20th)
Body Slot: Body
Caster Level: 12th
Aura: Strong; (DC 21) transmutation
Activation: ––
Weight: 10 lbs.
Source: Dragon 322 (Heroes of the War
of the Spider Queen Part III)
This excellent armor is a suit of +4
mithral blueshine chain shirt of nimbleness.
The nimbleness property increases the
mithral chain shirt's maximum Dexterity
bonus to +8; the blueshine property
renders the armor (but not necessarily
the wearer) immune to acid and rust
attacks and confers a +5 circumstance
bonus on Hide checks. Finally, the
wearer of the arms of the Jaezred Chaulssin
gains a +3 luck bonus on all saving
throws.
Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and
Armor, cat's grace, resistance, 5 ranks in
Craft (alchemy).
BATTLEPLATE
Price (Item Level): 31,050 gp (16th)
Body Slot: Body
Caster Level: 9th
Aura: Moderate; (DC 19) transmutation
Activation: –– and Standard (command)
Weight: 30 lbs.
Source: Dragon 333 (Bazaar of the
Bizarre: Treasures of the Gnome Hills)
Otherwise unremarkable in appearance, an
etching of a wide maple tree with golden
leaves decorates this armor's glistening silver
breastplate.
A suit of battleplate is a +2 mithral
breastplate of improved silent moves. The
armor bears a glamour that allows its
wearer to change the battleplate's
appearance to that of a simple tunic,
making it possible to wear the armor in a
populated area without rousing
suspicions.
Finally, in addition to
the Move Silently bonus
granted by the armor's
improved silent
moves, battleplate
grants its wearer a +5
competence bonus on
Jump and Tumble checks.
Because its mithral
construction makes
battleplate light armor, bards
Fedor’s Shield
can cast spells while wearing it without
the risk of arcane spell failure.
Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and
Armor, Still Spell, disguise self, jump,
silence.
BREASTPLATE
OF HARDINESS
Price (Item Level):
43,350 gp (17th)
Body Slot: Body
Caster Level: 9th
Aura: Strong; (DC 19)
abjuration
Activation: ––
Weight: 30 lbs.
Source: Dragon 323 (Magic Shop:
Treasures of the Dwarven Holds)
A breastplate of hardiness is a blood-
red +3 fire resistance breastplate that grants
its wearer a number of temporary hit
points equal to his Constitution score.
Whenever the wearer of a breastplate of
hardiness takes damage, subtract the
armor's temporary hit points first. Once
the amount of temporary hit points drops
to 0, the wearer takes damage as normal.
A breastplate of hardiness regenerates lost
temporary hit point at a rate of 1 per hour
until all of its temporary hit points are
available again. The armor grants a
wearer temporary hit points as long as
the armor is worn, and the hit points
vanish if the armor is removed.
Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and
Armor, bear's endurance, resist energy.
FEDOR’S SHIELD
Price (Item Level): 16,157 gp (14th)
Body Slot: –– (held)
Caster Level: 8th
Aura: Moderate; (DC 19) transmutation
Activation: ––
Weight: 2 lbs.
Source: Dragon 349 (Web Supplement:
The Horde – Barbarians of the Endless
Waste)
This simple-looking round burgundy-
colored shield bears a large white star
emblazed upon it. A battered metal
disk in the center of the star
reinforces the lightwood shield.
Although simple in its design, a
closer look at Fedor’s shield
reveals its masterwork quality as
well as its remarkable lightness.
The scent of freshly cut lightwood
also lingers around the item,
regardless of its age.
Complete Dragon & Dungeon Magazine 3.5 Magic Items – Specific Armor/Shields
This beautiful and surprisingly light
large shield grants stability to anyone
who carries it.
Fedor’s shield is a +2 heavy wooden shield
of bashing, but the item only weights 2
pounds and confers no armor check
penalty. Furthermore, if you have heavy
shield proficiency, you gain a +4 bonus
on checks made to resist being bull
rushed or tripped whenever you wield
Fedor’s shield.
Lore: Few of the shields fashioned by
Fedor remain, and those original items
frequently sell for as much as four times
their actual value as magic items when
sold to collectors. Weaponsmiths and
armorers long ago uncovered how to
make copies of Fedor’s famous shield,
and these copies are not uncommon—
especially on the high plains.
Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and
Armor, bull’s strength, levitate.
Cost to Create: 8,157 gp, 646 XP, 16 days.
FOOL'S PLATE, THE
Price (Item Level): 7,200 gp (11th)
Body Slot: –– (held)
Caster Level: 3rd
Aura: Faint; (DC 16) illusion
Activation: –– and Standard (command)
Weight: 3 lbs.
Source: Dragon 324 (Magic Shop: Power

At first glance, this item appears to be nothing
more than a silver platter.
When used as a buckler, it acts like a +1
buckler and its mirrored face forces
anyone who attacks the wielder to make a
DC 10 Will save or come under the effect
of a daze spell. The wielder can also use
the shield once per day to cast hypnotic
pattern. Unfortunately, whenever either
of these spells are invoked, the shield's
user must make the same save as his
target or be affected by the same effect.
Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and
Armor, daze, hypnotic pattern.

cold damage each round to all creatures
within 10 feet of you (if Large or larger)
or to all creatures within 5 feet of you (if
Medium or smaller). The armor deals the
same damage to you each round.
Fire giants have also realized the
potential for this armor, and thus variants
that wreathe the wearer in flames and
deal fire damage instead of cold damage
exist.

This suit of armor appears to have been
cobbled together from several different types of
Complete Dragon & Dungeon Magazine 3.5 Magic Items – Specific Armor/Shields
armor. The components all appear corroded
and old, but on each piece glows an inset rune.
Each rune has a unique shape and color, and
a corresponding power usable by the armor's
occupant.
The armor itself functions as a mithral
breastplate +4.
Activating one of the runes on the
armor is a free action, although only one
rune may be activated per round. Once
activated, a rune's power remains active
for 10 rounds. Only two runes can be
active at any given time, and each rune
can only be activated up to 3 times before
they become dormant. A dormant rune
can be awakened by applying a specific
potion or magic oil that has been
enhanced by an obscure alchemical
catalyst invented long ago by Bersteck
Maure. A dose of rune catalyst is worth
500 gp and has no additional powers of
its own–the exact formula for creating
this silvery liquid is known to Bersteck
Maure and few others. Currently, each
rune has only one activation remaining
before it needs to be wakened again.
The powers of the runes (and the
potion required to awaken them) are as
follows.
Hoof (Black, oil of magic
vestment): Grants DR 10/magic and
immunity to bull rush, tripping, and
overrun attempts.
Claw (Green, oil of keen edge): Any
slashing or piercing weapons currently
wielded gain keen edge and are poisoned
with black lotus extract (Fort DC 20, 3d6
Con/3d6 Con).
Sword (Silver, oil of greater magic
weapon): Any weapon currently wielded
gains a +5 enhancement bonus. The
wielder cannot be disarmed.
Shield (Blue, potion of
displacement): Grants a +4 deflection
bonus to AC and displacement (50% miss
chance).
Wing (Gold, potion of fly): Grants a
60 ft. fly speed (perfect).
Eye (Red, potion of arcane sight):
Protects the wearer from blindness and
grants the ability to see invisibility and
arcane sight.

Shields of obstruction are spiked light
wooden shields most commonly shaped into
the form of pointed-edged leaves. Along with
countless battle scars, each is covered with
intricate carvings of vines that bristle with
protruding thorns. This tangled motif often
circles the ancient insignia of the elven house
the shield's original owner served.
A shield of obstruction is a spiked +3 light
wooden shield that can grow a wall of
thorns, as per the spell, once per day. This
wall of thorns is 90 feet long and 10 feet
thick and lasts 90 minutes. It must be
created in a straight line and is not
shapeable by the wielder.

wielder's ranged attack bonus. Its range is
30 feet, and it deals 1d4+6 points of fire
damage. Like a poison spell, the venom
also deals 1d10 points of Constitution
damage (Fort DC 17 negates) and an
additional 1d10 points of Constitution
damage 1 minute later.
The spiteful imp also has an unusual
tendency to titter in evil mirth whenever
it deflects an opponent's weapon-a
disquieting but otherwise harmless
quality.

Armor, animate objects, poison, produce

Lizardfolk make these large, oval shields
out of the tough shells of tortoises. The shields
are usually dark green, blue, or black with
yellow or red patterns radiating out from the
center like a starburst.
The bearer of such a shield gains both
its mundane defense but also some of the
tortoise's natural defenses.
A star tortoise shield is a +3 heavy
wooden shield that also grants its bearer a
+1 natural armor bonus. In addition, it
renders its bearer immune to the
decapitating ability of a vorpal weapon or
similar effects.

To a follower of Torm, the True God, the
item's material is immediately apparent; it is
Torm's own skin. While the unenlightened
sees only a leather clad buckler, a follower of
Torm sees, burned into the flesh, the word
"truth" written in ten different languages.
The relic acts as a +4 darkwood buckler
and grants the wearer two additional
powers. Once per tenday, the wearer can
discern lies, like the spell heightened to
5th level. A DC 17 Will save resists this
effect. Additionally, the buckler can
activate the spell hand of Torm
presented in Magic of Faerûn) once per
day. A DC 16 Fortitude save resists
this effect. Both effects are cast at 9th-
level.
Relic Power: To use this relic, you
must worship Torm and either sacrifice a
5th-level divine spell slot or have the
True Believer feat and at least 9 Hit Dice.
At the DM's discretion, the Hit Die
restriction can be lowered if you are one
of the Martyr's Progeny.
Lore: One of the greatest sacrifices in
the Time of Troubles took place in the
harbor of Tantras. Torm the True,
bolstered to towering size, killed Bane-
only to die himself from the struggle. His
sacrifice was coupled with those of
thousands of faithful, who willingly gave
their lives so that Torm could prevail.
Since the True One was restored to life

This buckler drips blood and trails gray

iron arrows projecting through the metal of
the shield (paralleling the design of Hextor's
holy symbol).
On command, this +4 mithral spiked
buckler changes to a +4 mithral spiked light

The shield (in either form) counts as a
holy symbol of Hextor for anyone who

Price (Item Level): Priceless
Body Slot: Head
Caster Level: Unknown
Aura: Unknown
Activation: –– and Standard (command)
Weight: Unknown
Source: Dungeon 105 (Critical Threats –
Warduke - Hierarch of the Horned
Society)

Warduke gained his helm from the

Unnameable Hierarch himself as
payment for a particularly destructive
and successful mission. The helm is
infused with powerful evil, and bestows 2
negative levels on any non-evil creature
that puts it on. If a lawful good creature
puts on the helm, the faceplate vanishes
and long spikes begin to grow from the
inner surface of the helm, dealing 2d6
points of slashing damage per round to
the victim.
An evil creature gains several benefits
by wearing the helm. It grants low-light
vision to the wearer, as well as a natural
armor bonus equal to his Charisma
modifier (minimum of +1). The wearer
gains a +10 competence bonus on
Intimidate checks. The wearer also gains
SR 10 + his character level, as well as
complete immunity to all Charm effects.
The faceplate of the helm is set with
three rubies, one of which is much larger
than the other two. The two smaller
rubies each allow the wearer to cast a
quickened still silent death knell. When
the user casts this spell, one of the two
small rubies glows red for the duration of
the effect. As long as a ruby is glowing, it
cannot cast a death knell; thus, Warduke
can be under the effects of two death
knells from his helm at a time.
The large ruby can store a single spell
of up to 6th level, as a ring of spell storing.
The wearer can cast this spell as a
quickened still silent spell. Warduke
typically keeps a word of recall spell stored
here for emergencies.

WEAPONS
WEAPON
PROPERTIES
A weapon with a special property must
have at least a +1 enhancement bonus.
You can’t simply have a flaming
longsword—it would have to be at least a
+1 flaming longsword. A single weapon
cannot have a modified bonus
(enhancement bonus plus property
bonus equivalents) higher than +10, nor
can it have a market price (not counting
special materials or the price of the
masterwork weapon itself) of greater
than 200,000 gp (or 200,000 gp for each
end of a double weapon). For weapons
that exceed these limits, see EPIC LEVEL
HANDBOOK.
Unless noted otherwise in the Property
entry, each special property in this
chapter can be added to any weapon.
Some properties can be applied only to a
particular category of weapons, and are so
noted. A few properties can be added
only to a smaller subset of a category
(such as projectile weapons); this fact is
stated in the item’s Property entry.

Activation: ––
Source: Dragon 315 (Planescape: The

A weapon with the spireshard quality
has a miniscule shard of the spire at the
center of the Outlands embedded in it
somewhere. Because the spire is the
center of the largest dead magic area on
the planes, a spireshard weapon can
temporarily nullify a creature's ability to
use magic. A creature dealt damage by a
weapon with the spireshard quality must
succeed at a DC 19 Will save or be unable
to use spells or spell-like abilities for 1d4
rounds afterward. The DM rolls the
duration of the nullification secretly, and
the creature struck feels an eldritch chill
and instinctively knows that magic won't
work until the chill fades. Existing magic
effects on the creature struck by the
weapon are unaffected; the spireshard
weapon stops only new spells cast and
spell-like abilities used by the creature
struck. A creature that fails the save
against the spireshard weapon's effect
cannot again be affected by the
spireshard effect until it regains the
ability to cast spells and use spell-like
abilities.

A weapon with the stealer quality is
particularly useful in disarm attempts,
granting its wielder a +4 bonus on the
opposed check to disarm a foe.
Furthermore, if the wielder of a stealer
weapon successfully disarms the foe, the
item carried by the foe is now stuck to

TRUEBANE
Price: +3 bonus
Caster Level: 12th
Aura: Strong; (DC 21) conjuration
Activation: ––
Source: Dragon 345 (The Giants of
Xen’drik: Dark Elves and Giants Clash)
When wielded, a truebane weapon
gains the bane weapon quality
(DUNGEON MASTER'S GUIDE pg.124)
against the same type of creature as the
wielder. Thus, a giant wielding a
truebane weapon gains an additional +2
enhancement bonus on attack rolls and
damage and +2d6 additional damage
against giants, while a lawful outsider
would gain the bonus against other
lawful outsiders. At the end of any round
in which a truebane weapon deals
damage to a creature, the weapon's bane
quality changes to match the type of the
creature it last damaged; this change
persists for 1 round before reverting to
the wielder's creature type (unless, of
course, the weapon is used to damage a
different creature in that round).
Lore: The cult of Kostchtchie is
generally (if begrudgingly) credited with
the development of this more powerful
variant of the commonplace bane weapon
quality.
Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and
Armor, rage, summon monster I.
VEXING
Price: +1 bonus
Caster Level: 14th
Aura: Strong; (DC 22) necromancy
Activation: See text
Source: Dragon 339 (Class Acts:
Hexblade Curses)
When wielded by a hexblade, a vexing
weapon allows the wielder to transfer
some or all of the weapon’s enhancement
bonus into a penalty on an opponent. As
a free action, the wielder chooses how to
allocate the weapon’s enhancement
bonus at the start of his turn before using
the weapon. He must then succeed at a
touch attack against his intended target.
If he succeeds at this touch attack he
deals no damage but instead applies the
penalty he has chosen to his target. This
penalty affects the target’s attack rolls,
skill checks, ability checks, and Armor
Class. The penalty lasts until the end of
the wielder’s next turn.
Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and
Armor, bestow curse.
WRECKER

only to bludgeoning weapons. When
these weapons–often but not always
warhammers or greatclubs–strike objects
or creatures with hardness, they bypass
hardness. This quality does not affect
energy damage dealt by another property
of the weapon; energy damage caused by
a successful attack with a wrecker
weapon interacts with hardness
normally.

that explodes in a 20-foot-radius spread.
All creatures in the area take 10d6 points
of acid damage, or half with a DC 15
Reflex save. An acid launcher requires no
attack roll, takes up a 5-foot square, and
requires a crew of three (or a single
creature with six arms) to operate. Firing
an acid launcher is a full-round action for
all of its crew. The device, when created
has 50 charges–upon expending its final
charge, the acid launcher melts int0 a
puddle of acid itself, inflicting 3d6 and
damage an its crew (Reflex DC 15 negates
this damage).

ANCENSTRAL WEAPON
[MINOR ARTIFACT]
Price (Item Level): Priceless
Body Slot: –– (held)
Caster Level: 25th
Aura: Overwhelming; (DC 27) all schools
Activation: ––
Weight: Varies by weapon
Source: Dragon 317 (Silicon Sorcery:
Dungeons & Dragons Heroes – Magic,
Monsters, and Mayhem)
An ancestral weapon has five levels of
power, as summarized on the ancestral
weapon table. When a character first
acquires her ancestral weapon, it is always
a level 1 ancestral weapon. The character
must use soul shards to increase the
weapon's level.
An ancestral weapon has an
enchantment bonus to attack rolls equal
to its level.
Bonus damage from an ancestral weapon
is not multiplied on a successful critical
hit. The bonus damage is of the same
damage type that the weapon itself deals,
although the extra damage's source is
magical in nature.
An ancestral weapon of 2nd-level or
higher grants an inherent bonus to one
of its owner's ability scores. When the
weapon gains its second level, its owner
selects one of her ability scores to which
this bonus applies; from that point on,
the bonus cannot be changed, even if the
sword is damaged and reverts to 1st-level
an later is returned to 2nd-level or
higher.
Fast healing granted by an ancestral
weapon to its owner applies only when it
is drawn and wielded. A sheathed
ancestral weapon grants no benefit.
The additional properties of an
ancestral weapon stack, so a 5th-level
ancestral weapon is a +5 keen defending
speed dancing weapon.
Ancestral weapons are nearly impossible
to destroy. They always have +5 hardness
and +30 hit points more than normal
weapons of their type would have. An
ancestral weapon that takes enough
damage to be destroyed is instead
reduced by one level: further soul shards
are required to return the ancestral weapon
to its prior level of power. Upon being
reduced to a lower level, all damage done
to the weapon is immediately repaired. A
1st-level ancestral weapon than takes
enough damage to be destroyed is
reduced to level 0, becoming a non-magic
masterwork weapon. A single soul shard is
enough to return the ancestral weapon to
1st level, but if it is destroyed while in
this weakened state, it is forever lost.
An ancestral weapon functions as a
masterwork weapon of its kind in the
hands of anyone but its true and proper
owner, although its indestructible nature
remains in effect at all times. The owner
of an ancestral weapon can always sense
the location of the weapon, as if with a
locate object spell and can discern location
once, per day to determine the weapon's
location.

This battleaxe has a broad, serrated blade of
bright steel. The blade’s sharp teeth never need
sharpening and the horse-riding nomads who
carry these weapons claim the jet-wood
handles are unbreakable. Although the axe
bears no distinguishing runes or other arcane
markings, the tightly wound leather
wrapping the handle cannot be mistaken.
The axe of the horse lord is perhaps the
mightiest weapon forged by the wisemen
of the steppes.
An axe of the horse lord is a +3 icy burst
battleaxe. It deals additional damage
whenever you wield it while riding a
horse. When you use it from horseback,
the weapon deals 2d8+3 points of damage
and has a x3 critical hit modifier.
In addition, once per day as a full-
round action, you may call upon a
magical warhorse who is absolutely loyal
to the axe and its wielder. The warhorse
has the same stats as the special mount of
a 10th-level paladin (but its alignment
always matches that of the axe’s wielder).
The warhorse has a unique name you
must use to summon it (calling its name
aloud three times). This mount
immediately appears adjacent to you and
remains for up to 20 hours. You may
dismiss it at any time as a free action, but
if you do you cannot conjure it again
until the next day.
The warhorse is the same creature each
time you summon it. Every time you call
the warhorse, it appears at full health,
regardless of any damage it might have
taken previously. The warhorse also
appears wearing or carrying any gear it
had when it was last dismissed. Calling
the axe’s warhorse is a conjuration
(calling) effect. Should the warhorse die,
it and any gear it had immediately drops
to the ground and cannot be summoned
again for one week. During this week, the
axe of the horse lord is reduced to a simple
+1 battleaxe with no other special
properties.

A well-used gladius.
Durandal is an intelligent
+1 holy mighty cleaving
adamantine short sword (LG,
Int 10, Wis 13, Cha 13, Ego 5) Durandal
that possesses empathy with the wielder.
Three times per day, Durandal can cast
both bless and remove fear upon its wielder
(only). Durandal uses its empathy to urge
the wielder to be brave and righteous,
particularly when faced with
overwhelming danger.
Lore: Roland, the 8th-century
Frankish hero of Christian medieval
Europe, won his sword Durandal – once
the sword of Hector of Troy – along with
the horn Olifant from the giant
Jutmundus.
Roland carried the blade while
commanding the rearguard of
Charlemagne’s army as it withdrew from
Spain. As the army moved through the
Pyrenees, intent on quelling a Saxon
revolt in Germany, another army formed
of Basques and Gascon attacked at
Roncesvalles. Unwilling to surrender,
Roland and his men fought to the very
end, allowing the rest of the Frankish
army to escape. When it became clear he
would fall Roland attempted to break
Durandal upon a great rock. But the
indestructible sword instead cleaved a
300-foot cleft through the Pyrenees.
Unable to break the sword and mortally
it into a poisonous stream, where it
supposedly would remain forever.
Durandal is described as a well-used
gladius whose hilt contains a thread
from the cloak of the Virgin Mary, a
tooth of St. Peter, a hair of St.Denys,
and a drop of St. Basil's blood.

their worth on the
battlefield. Elves
dutifully protect the secrets of creating

through honorable means, the hunters
deal with the erstwhile owner in a more

death at the claws of an angry dragon
than from elves hunting for an eagles' cry
bow.

FANGS OF TURAGLAS,
THE [MINOR ARTIFACT]
Price (Item Level): Priceless

Aura: Strong; (DC 25) conjuration,

Activation: ––
Weight: Unknown
Source: Dragon 312 (The Ebon Maw:
Beware The Waking Hunger)
Forged from ores that the Devourer himself
consumed and regurgitated, and bound with
foul magic, the Fangs of Turaglas are powerful
and unholy blades inexorably linked with the
demon prince.
Thirteen of these weapons exist:
• 1 bastard sword
• 1 dagger
• 1 greatsword
• 1 heavy pick
• 1 longspear
• 3 longswords
• 3 short swords
• 2 shortspears
All of these weapons have the
following abilities.
• Each is a +3 adamantine wounding
weapon.
• Life Stealing: A Fang of Turaglas
bestows one negative level
whenever if scores a critical hit.
The weapon wielder gains 1d6
temporary hit points each time a
negative level is bestowed on
another. These temporary hit
points last for 24 hours. One day
after being struck, subjects must
make a DC 16 Fortitude save for
each negative level or lose a
character level.
These powers make the Fangs of
Turaglas very potent weapons indeed. As
demonic artifacts, however, they possess
drawbacks that should make even the
most evil characters hesitant to use them.
• Whenever a natural 1 is rolled
on the attack roll, the weapon
bestows a negative level (as
described above) on the wielder,
except the wielder does not gain
temporary hit points for
negative levels bestowed in this
way.
• Whenever the Fang's possessor
enters combat, the weapon
forces her to wield it. If she
decides to draw any other
weapon, she must first make a
DC 25 Will save or draw the
Fang instead.
• Once the Fang is wielded in
battle, its wielder goes berserk
(gaining all the benefits and
drawbacks of the barbarian's
rage ability). She attacks the
nearest enemy and continues to
fight until unconscious or dead,
or until no enemy remains
within 30 feet.
• Even If the bearer of a Fang
manages to avoid wielding, the
weapon, she must still carry it
and cannot give it away. She can
only be free of the weapon
through a carefully worded wish
or miracle spell. The weapon can
also be taken from her forcibly
(she can still be disarmed
normally).
Every time a Fang delivers a negative
level or a killing blow, the wielder has a 5
percent chance of receiving a mental
image of the Devourer and a flash of
insight into the weapon's purpose –
freeing the demon Turaglas.
Lore: The Fangs of Turaglas feed life
force from their blows in battle directly
to Turaglas, bringing the Devourer closer
to fully awakening and shattering the
shackles that bind him. This is the true
purpose for which they were constructed.
Of course, even once the wielder knows,
it's not easy to stop using the blade.
No precise number exists for how
much life energy Turaglas needs to
escape; the DM must determine the
required number of lives taken and
negative levels bestowed by the Fangs.
Having the Devourer run loose in your
campaign is a world-altering event, so
exercise care when deciding under what
circumstances-if any-to allow it.
 Complete Dragon & Dungeon Magazine 3.5 Magic Items – Specific Weapons
Should the Ebon Maw ever
be freed, each life taken by one
of the Fangs while he is
manifested counts as a life
consumed by Turaglas himself,
allowing him to gain health (see
his statistics Dragon #312), Make
certain any player whose
character learns the truth of the
weapons understands the
looming danger they pose; even
the most selfish and evil villain
should realize he must rid
himself of the cursed artifact.
There is no way to wield the
Fangs of Turaglas without feeding
power to Turaglas; they are
linked with him on a primal
level, and even a deity cannot
sever that link. The only known
way to destroy a Fang is for a
good entity of divine rank to
hammer it flat against an anvil
constructed of stone or metal
from Mechanus.
The Feeders of the Ebon Maw
currently possess five of the
Fangs: the greatsword, two
longswords, one short sword, and
a shortspear. They are constantly
hunting for the other eight, and any
character who possesses one can expect
no rest from their pursuit.

stretches approximately 14-feet long. Its
sturdily-constructed length tappers from a
broad end down to a tip as fine as a splinter,
but the weapon’s head is nevertheless sharp

Fedor’s lance is a +1 lance. Whenever you

personal life, history remembers him as
one of the most gifted horsemen who
ever lived. Indeed, this warrior led his
tribe in countless battles. Fedor greatly

Weight: 1,400 lbs.
Source: Dungeon 150 (Savage Tide –

This ballista does not use traditional
ammunition, instead it fires a barrage of
five magic missiles unerringly at any
single target within 800 feet; each
magic missile deald 1d4+1 points of
force damage. After the missiles
strike their initial target, an additional
missile fires at every other creature
within 30 feet of the primary target–
each of these missiles strikes
unerrigrily as well for 1d4+1 points of
force damage.
A force misslie ballista requires no
attack roll, takes up 5-foot square,
and requires a crew of two (or a
single creature with four arms) to
operate. Firing a force misslie
ballista is a full-round action for
all of its crew. The device, when
created, has 5o charges–upon
expending its final charge, the
force misslie ballista bursts into
a storm of missiles that
inflicts 5d4+5 points of force damage on
every creature within a 3o-foot radius–
demonic commanders often order their
underlings to save the device's last charge
until the enemy is right on top of them
and then use the final charge as a last-

A handspur appears as a punch dagger
made of bone, but instead of a handle, the
weapon has a writhing, lamprey-like stalk.
If handled with bare flesh, the handspur
immediatley makes a +5 touch attack
against its target. If it hits, the lamprey
mouth immediately bites off the two
middle fingers of the victim's hand and
burrows into his arm to latch onto
arteries deep inside. This inflicts 1d4
points of damage and 2 points of
Constitution damage. The blade-like spur
protrudes from the bloody stump. Once
in place, a handspur functions as a punch
dagger that cannot be disarmed. The
handspur itself is not technically a
creature, despite its organic appearance.
It is merely a strange form of magic
weaponry that has fallen out of style
amongst most drow.
As long as a handspur is in place, the
wearer suffers a -2 penalty on Disable
Device, Forgery, Open Lock, and Sleight
of Hand checks. It does not impact
spellcasting. All handspurs are considered
to be masterwork punch daggers,
although they can be further crafted to
gain enhancement bonuses or other

his enemies the wielder of Jotur the

treasure map leading to the burial
chamber of what the map calls “the

assembled the map is a perfect square.
Depending upon the amount of time you
want it to take to assemble the map, it
could range from a 4x4 inch square

Legendmaker has the following skills:
Appraise +14, Perform (song) +14, and
Spellcraft +14, as well as the bardic
knowledge ability at +9.
Legendmaker loves erudition and so
gladly gives advice on any topic
(although it tends to give much more
information than is desired). As Oghma
is the god of bards as well as knowledge,
legendmaker can utilize bardic music as a
4th-level bard, however it must be held to
use this ability and it ceases singing
should it be used to attack. It can speak

Gnome, and Halfling.
Relic Power: To use this relic, you

Lore: In recent years, fledgling

remarkable weapon-at least in the
weapon's opinion. This weapon, called
legendmaker, has a voice all its own and is
not afraid to use it to form an opinion, a
song, or an overly intricate plan.
Legendmaker was forged by Oghma
himself (a fact that the weapon reinforces
on occasion) and exists to experience and

attack counts as a standard action for the
wielder.
The tentacle attacks follow all the
normal rules for grapple attacks, with two
exceptions: These attacks don't incur
attacks of opportunity and the wielder
need not move into the target's space to
maintain the grapple. The tentacle, and
not the wielder, is considered the
grappler (and the wielder doesn't suffer
any of the drawbacks of being the
grappler).
If all three of the rod's tentacles touch
a target in the same round (regardless of
whether the grapple was successful or
not), the target must make a Fortitude

Lightbringer is an intelligent dancing
keen +3 longsword that possesses normal
hearing and speech, typical light
generation, darkvision out to 120 feet,
telepathic communication with its
wielder, and can cast bless 3 times per day.
Lightbringer wishes to be universally
feared and urges its wielders to challenge
opponents in order to be seen and
improve its reputation. It especially
wishes to destroy all other weapons
bearing the Lightbringer name—of which
there seem to be numerous. As such, it
can cast crushing despair when attempting
to destroy another magic weapon bearing
its name.
Lightbringer is neutral, has
Intelligence 17, Wisdom
10, Charisma 17, and an Ego score
of 21. It possesses 10 ranks in Bluff,
Intimidate, Knowledge (arcana), and
Knowledge (the planes). Lightbringer
also speaks Common, Abyssal,
Celestial, and Infernal.
Lore: Factol Vartus Timlin’s famous
sword has had many imitators, although
not many people realize that the original
weapon was merely a weakly enhanced

typical of many magical weapons. The
leader of the Expansionists himself
fanned the flames of rumor to trick his

The possible sword is a very sharp ceramic
longsword of ancient make. Attached to the
pommel of the sword are a series of wires that
attach to a special battery, typically worn at
the waist.
The possible sword is an incredibly
powerful artifact allowing its wielder to
make every possible strike.
While anyone can wield the possible
sword and gain its basic bonuses, its true
powers are much more difficult to
activate. The sword requires possibility
energy to work, and the bearer must be
physically altered by expert
biothaumaturgical surgery to use the-
weapon at its full potential (this surgery
requires a DC 23 Profession
[biothaumaturgy] check and a DC 20
Heal check; see Dragon Magazine #352
for more information). In addition, due
to the imprecise nature of the weapon,
only those who are not proficient in its
use can unlock its power. Characters who
are proficient in longsword must take
Exotic Weapon Proficiency (possible
sword) to learn how to improperly wield
the sword (the wielder must take the-4
nonproficient penalty). A wielder who
meets these prerequisites must turn on
the sword, a free action, to gain its
benefits.
The possible sword is a +2 sword of
wounding in the hands of most wielders.
When the sword is powered on (and used
by a wielder who meets all the
prerequisites) the sword's true potential
becomes apparent.
For each attack
made, the wielder
makes a single
attack roll and
resolves if
normally. In
addition the sword
also makes 19
additional attacks,
with each one
resolved as if the
die rolled had
naturally rolled
each number on
the die (1 through
20, leaving out the The Possible Sword
actual roll by the
 Complete Dragon & Dungeon Magazine 3.5 Magic Items – Specific Weapons
wielder). Each of these phantom attacks
that hit deal half damage, while all the
attacks that miss deal 1 point of damage.
Unless the wielder rolls a natural 20,
none of these attacks results in a critical
hit and none of the attacks, except for the
one made by the wielder, activates the
sword's wounding property.
Attacking with the sword in this way is
a full-round action and consumes one
battery charge (which typically has 20-
120 charges when found). If the wielder
rolls a natural 1 on his attack roll, all of
the attacks miss and one charge is
consumed. When the possible sword is
turned off, the wielder takes 1d4 points
of Constitution damage and is fatigued
for 1d4 hours +1 hour per round used.
Lore: Dating from the days of the
Ghasthead Empire, this 3,040-year-old
sword has faded in and out of Legend.
Most famously wielded by Uther Doul, a
renowned pirate from the city of Armada,
the sword is an artifact from a time when
anything was possible. The sword reflects
this mysterious power.

stone giants tearing the ground asunder.
Shatterspike functions as a Large +2

wielder of shatterspike can use the weapon
to cast shatter three times per day (CL

riveted around it transversely to hold its

a rune written in Abyssal glows upon its
forehead.
This skull once belonged to the

murdered by his own nephew Vanthus
after he was seduced to evil by Ghorvash.
Some time after Kallum’s death,
Ghorvash claimed the skull and, with
Demogorgon's aid, caught the spirit of
the betrayal in the skull.
The skull of Kallum is meant to be
wielded as a light weapon. When a

bites and tears, inflicting 1d6 points of
piercing, slashing, and bludgeoning
damage. Although the skull provides no
enhancement bonus to attack or damage
rolls, it is treated as a magic evil weapon
for the purposes of overcoming damage
reduction.
The skull's true power lies in the
betrayer's curse. Each time the skull

depends on the kind of giant struck.
Consult the table below to determine
which special ability the sword possesses.
When you kill a giant and use this

their way into heavily guarded areas find
this amulet especially useful.
Three times per day, the user can
change the appearance of the amulet,
causing it to appear as any symbol or
badge that he has seen before. When so
disguised, it grants the wearer a +10
bonus on Bluff and Intimidate checks
made to pass himself off as a person of
authority in an organization that the
opponent is familiar with. If the user
attempts to pretend he is a member of a
group that the opponents are not familiar
with, the amulet provides only a +5
bonus. For example, if a user tries to pass
himself off to a Royal Guard as a fellow
member of that organization, he gains
34
the full +10 bonus. But if he tries to tell
the guard that he is a member of the
Secret Police (which the guard has not
heard of), the bonus is only +5.

A 1-inch-wide, 2-inch-tall gold locket on a
thin chain of golden link often oval- or heart-
shaped and opens up to reveal a tiny portrait,
such as one might keep of a lover or spouse.
Amulets of deception are used to confuse
those who might scry upon their wearers.
The image that appears in the locket is
also the one that appears in place of the
wearer if she is ever scried upon or in the
area of a scrying effect while wearing the
amulet of deception.
The amulet also grants the wearer a +2
insight bonus on Intelligence checks to
notice a scrying sensor, but it does
nothing to prevent the scrying from
continuing other than cloak the wearer
in the appearance depicted in the amulet.
Many who work in the shadows use
these devices to prevent their enemies

When activated, the amulet negates
enough of the damage from the attack to
bring the wearer to 0 hit points. In
addition, the wearer instantly gains the

able to limp away to safety. The teleport
effect never places the wearer in danger,
so if she reaches -1 hit points in an
environment with no safe area within 30
feet, the mislead effect begins but with
the wearer occupying the same space as

When worn, the amulet of fearsome

Faerûn: Gifts From The Gods)
The amulets are flat black metal disks
surrounded by a shadowy amethyst ring and
are often confused with a simple holy symbol
of Shar (and can be used as such).
As a standard action, the amulet of
perfect night may emit a shadowy
illumination (as the darkness spell) in a
20-foot radius around the bearer of the
relic. This effect cannot be countered by
daylight or similar spells, as it is tied
directly and continuously to the
perpetual night of the Underdark
(although it would be extinguished in an
antimagic field or similar effect). The
bearer of the relic gains darkvision out to
60 feet (if she does not already have it)
and can see through magical darkness
perfectly. Also, those within the area of
darkness created by this relic take a-2
penalty on saves against Shadow Weave
magic. Finally, the wielder can cause
blindness, as per the spell, in any one
target within 210 feet once per day as a
standard action. A DC 13 Fortitude save
resists this effect.
Relic Power: To use this relic, you

3rd-level spell slot or have the True
Believer feat and at least 5 Hit Dice.
Lore: After Shar killed lbrandul and
assumed his identity, she basked in the
Underdark-a place where the cursed rays
of daylight never touch. I reminded her
of the primeval darkness that existed
before the world began. In
commemoration of the eternal blackness
that existed in the deep places of Faerûn,
she created the first of the amulets of
perfect night over the body of the fallen
god of the Underdark.

preservation prevents the deceased wearer
from rising as the spawn of certain

cloth. The left is known as the Binding of
Inertia, and is a cloth of a sickly shade of
yellow, shot through with verdigris. The right
is the Binding of Decay, made of dead
whitish-gray rune-covered cloth.
When worn, the bindings give the
wearer two slam attacks, each of which
inflicts 2d6 damage on a hit. The Binding
of Decay acs as an amulet of mighty fists +5.
Damage done by the wearer’s unarmed

damage reduction. In addition, it allows
the wearer to afflict anyone he strikes
with his natural weapons or unarmed
strikes with mummy rot if the victim
fails a DC 20 Fortitude save. The Binding

item (or an intelligent magic ithem with
a good alignment component) and
subjecting them to a sunray and either a

destroyed by successful a Mordenkainen’s
disjunction.
Lore: Erivatius wore these loose
bindings upon his forearms, but when he
volunteered for his imprisonment in the
Quicksilver Hourglass, he gave them to
his high priestess. He hoped secretly that
after his sacrifice, he would emerge from
death even more powerful than before,
using these Bindings and his high priest
as a focus for his return from death. If
either binding is destroyed, Erivatius
takes a -5 penalty on all attack rolls, saves,

one year passes or he creates a
replacement. If both bindings are
destroyed, this penalty increases to -10.

sensor, he may use the circlet of
convocation as a standard action to
instantly appear in a random open square
adjacent to the scryer. This travel is a
flawless teleportation that can even cross
the boundaries of planes. Each time the
circlet of convocation is used to transport
the wearer to a scrier, one of the five
gemstones "burns out" In effect, the
circlet of convocation is a five-charge magic
item with each such use expending one
charge. If there is no open adjacent
square, the teleportation attempt simply
fails, and a gem is not burnt out.
Even after all five charges have been
used, the circlet continues to provide its

Using the power of the circlet has its
disadvantages. The circlet does not grant
any information about the scrier or

The crown of sorcerous terror is an

This filthy black garment is woven from

unspeakable grime make wearing, let alone,
handling the shirt unpleasant.
When wearing a demonhair shirt you
gain immunity to fear.
If you have the rage class feature (or a
similar ability), you may spend two of
your daily uses of rage at once to become
overcome with demonic fury, gaining a
+6 profane bonus to Strength, +2 profane
bonus to Armor Class, and a +10 profane
bonus to speed. While under the effects
of demonic fury, your natural weapons
and weapons you wield count as chaotic
for the purposes of overcoming damage
reduction. In exchange for these benefits,
you take 2 points of non-lethal damage
each round. Once activated, the demonic
fury lasts for a number of rounds equal to
your improved Constitution bonus
(minimum 1 round). This benefit stacks
with rage (and frenzy). At the end of this
time, you become fatigued for 1 hour.

These dark metal blades are designed to fit

Perhaps the most dangerous foe a
dragon can face is another dragon.
Dragons designed these magic claws to
help them fight off
attempts by their own
draconic brethren to claim
their hoards.
Alternatively, some
dragons use these claws to
claim the hoards of those
they view as weak.
A dragon wearing
dragonslayer claws cannot
also make use of a glove
on that claw. When worn,
dragonslayer claws deal

additional damage equal
to half the wearer's Hit Dice on claw
attacks made with the claw on which the
item is worn. The bonus damage only
applies to a single claw attack per round-
usually the first claw attack made-no
matter how many claw attacks the wearer
can make. The dragon must declare to
which attack the extra damage is applied
before the attack roll is made.
Any creature of size Large or larger
with a claw attack may wear these claws.
However, the dragonslayer claws bestow
two negative levels when worn by any
creature not of the dragon type. The
negative levels remain as long as the
claws are worn and disappear when the

This steel ring is blank and smooth except
for the circular crown, which traditionally
bears a stylized red cross on a white
background. The inside surface is pebbled
with tiny nodes that detect stress and shock in
its wearer.
This ring ensures its wearer's defensive
spells are in place at crucial moments,
helping counter unexpected attacks and
preventing tragic workspace accidents.
Upon activation the failsafe ring
bestows the benefits of a mage armor spell
on its wearer, as if cast by a 1st-level
wizard. The benefits last for the full
duration of the spell, even if the ring is
removed.
A failsafe ring monitors
its wearer's condition at
all times. If the wearer
takes damage, it
immediately activates.
This effect cannot be
avoided without first
removing the ring-the
ring activates even if
the damage kills or
renders the wearer
unconscious, but it
does not activate in
time to affect the
damage source that
activated it. It can also
be triggered manually
by twisting the ring
clockwise (as a standard

This effect can only be
activated once per day. It
does not activate if the
wearer is already under the
protection of the spell it
provides.

This dark red cloak bears a lighter umber-
colored lining. It is thick and scaly and
radiates a strong aura of evil. Its metal clasp is
shaped like a six fingered hand.
While this cloak is worn it provides the
following benefits:
• +1 resistance bonus on all saving
throws
• +4 enhancement bonus to
Intelligence
• Fire resistance 10
Fiend's Embrace is so tainted with evil
that it bestows one negative level on any
good creature attempting to wear
it. The negative level remains as
long as the cloak is worn and
disappears whenever it is
removed. Worse, Fiend's
Embrace retians a small sliver
of intelligence from the pit
fiend it was harvested from.
The cloak has an Intelligence
of 13, a Wisdom of 10, and a
Charisma of 13. It
communicates via empathy,
and has 6o-ft. vision and
hearing. The cloak is chaotic
evil, and has an Ego of 7.
The transformation to
magic cloak has perverted
this shard of intelligence,
and now the cloak wants
little more than to serve the
one it was created for–the witch
queen lggwilv. Fiend's Embrace
won't rest until it is draped
comfortably over its mistress'
shapely shoulders once again;
until then, it tries to influence
its current owner into tracking
down Iggwilv, wherever she
 Complete Dragon & Dungeon Magazine 3.5 Magic Items – Clothing
may be, so she can reclaim her cloak. This
influence is subtle. If Fiend's Embrace ever
wins a personality confilct with its
possessor, it allows its owner to retain
control of his actions for the most part
but infuses him with an obsession with
Iggwilv, forcing him to discover her
current location (which is left to you to
determine).

FIENDISH FOOT, THE

Body Slot: Arms or Throat
Caster Level: Unknown

Activation: –– and Free (command)
Weight: ––
Source: Dungeon 122 (Fiendish
Footprints)
The fiendish foot is a 4-inch-long piece of
black obsidian, skillfully carved in .the
likeness of cloven hoof. If held against
firelight, the talisman glistens with a blood-
red tinge, while in daylight it becomes a deep,
opaque black. A tiny hole is drilled in the top
of the foot, through which a string or fine
chain can be threaded.
If worn as a necklace or bracelet, the
owner of the fiendish foot can call upon its
fiendish magic once per day as a free
action to gain all the benefits of the
fiendish creature template. Creatures
that cannot gain this template (such as
outsiders, constructs, and undead) cannot
gain any benefits from the fiendish foot.
Once activated, the benefits of the
template persist for 10 rounds before
fading.
Each time the fiendish foot is activated,
its wearer must make a DC 20 Will save
or his alignment shifts one step closer to
chaotic evil. This is considered a
deliberate change for the purposes of the
atonement spell.
Worse, if a humanoid or monstrous
humanoid claims the fiendish foot as his
own, he must immediatley make a DC 20
Will save or fall under the artifact's
dreadful curse. He must make this save
again each day to continue to resist the
curse, even if he has not activated the
artifact's power. Once a victim succumbs
to this curse, his skin grows pale and
sunburns easilly, and he gains a growing
craving for fresh blood. Loss or
destruction of the artifact does nothing
47
The Fiendish Foot
to lift this curse. The curse can be lifted
with a successful break enchantment spell
or by a remove curse cast at a caster level of
20th or higher. If the cursed victim dies
while under the effects of this curse and
still in the possession of the foot, his body
rises as a vampire (or vampire spawn, as
appropriate) with the next sunset. The
newly created vampire is free-willed, and
often tries to pass the fiendish foot on as a
"gift" to someone new, since it no longer
gains any benefit from the item's ability
to impart the fiendish creature template.
A cursed victim who dies without
possession of the foot escapes this undead
fate, although he must make a successful
DC 20 Will save to voluntarilly leave the
fiendish foot behind, and must make a new
DC 20 Will save once a week thereafter
to resist reclaiming the foot. If any of
these saving throws are failed, the victim
suffers 1d4 points of Wisdom drain and
becomes obsessed with reclaiming the
foot, if at all possible.

were created by Orcus, the demon prince
of undeath, to spread the plague of

Editor’s Note: The item description
doesn’t say how much of a resistance
bonus is provided to all saving throws but
the shadar-kai wearing them in te

horrific appearance, and corrupting
touch attack, as per the ghost template

The ghost mantle's wearer also gains the
same immunity to effects that require
Fort saves as a creature with the undead

the mantle slowly feeds off of the
wearer's life force.
Immediately upon donning the ghost
mantle the wearer suffers 1 point of
Constitution drain, and he takes an
additional 1 point of Constitution drain
every round thereafter until slain or he
removes the mantle. The mantle hides
this damage from the wearer, although

In addition, any creature with the death

Lore: Degen Sheve epitomized the
artistry of dealing death. Known for his
outrageous prices and impeccable
service, Degen became a legend. All that
changed after he was cursed by a wizard
relative of one of his marks. The curse
left him nearly blind. Fearing the end
ofhis assassin career, Degen turned his
attention to magical research, seeking a
cure for his ailment. Ten years later, after
having the curse partially lifted, he
crafted a pair of goggles that
counteracted the remainder of the
wizard's curse, allowing Degen to take
revenge and regain his place in his guild.

Made of brightly colored silk or fine cotton
thread, gypsy cloaks shimmer in intricate
patterns with each movement of their
wearers. These cloaks are sometimes worn like
shawls, manipulated by the wearer in
undulating dances to bring about a variety of
magical effects.
Using a gypsy cloak requires a DC 15
Perform (dance) check made as a
standard action. A successful check
allows the wearer to cast charm monster
(DC 14), daze monster (DC 13), or enthrall
(DC 13), each once per day.
Using the cloak comes with a price,
however. Upon donning a gypsy cloak a
character must immediately succeed at a
DC 15 Will save. Success allows the
wearer to remove the cloak as normal;
failure activates the cloak's curse, which
prevents its wearer from removing it
without the use of a remove curse spell.
The saving throw must be made every
time the cloak is put on, not just the first
time.
The wearer of a gypsy cloak finds that he
cannot bear to stay in one place (a small
barony, town, or dungeon, for example)
for more than a week. Should he attempt
to do so, he must succeed at a DC 15 Will
save every day following the first week
spent in a location. If he fails he must
move away from the place in the most
efficient way possible (whether running,
riding, or teleporting) until he can no
longer see the place or he has run to
exhaustion (whichever occurs first). He
must thereafter attempt a DC 15 Will
save whenever he attempts to return to
the place in the next the week. After a
week of being away the wearer can return
without difficulty. The wearer cannot be
persuaded to return by nonmagical
means, and if forcibly detained he
becomes panicked until he is able to flee.
Lore: Gypsy cloaks, uncommon even in
roving gypsy bands, are awarded as
honors to those who fulfill great services
for gypsies. These accomplishments
include deeds of great heroism and acts
of diplomacy that allow safe passage for
the roving bands during dangerous and
uncertain times. Gypsy cloaks are favored
by bards who prefer dancing, harnessing
magic through their songs and deliberate
movement.
Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item,

This black velvet tricorn hat is studded
with six feathers taken from a harpy.
The hat's wearer can remove one of the
feathers to gain a specific effect. Each
feather may be used once, and when all
six feathers have been used the cap loses
its magical properties. When the wearer
activates the cap he chooses one of the
following effects.
• A +5 bonus on Bluff, Diplomacy,
Intimidate, and Perform checks
for the next 5 minutes.
• A +10 bonus on the wearer's next
Diplomacy or Intimidate check.
This check must be made within
1minute.
• An additional use of the bardic
music ability, as long as the wearer
has that class ability. The wearer
must use the bonus bardic music
on the same round that he
activates the cap.
Note that the cap's different bonuses
stack with each other, but each source of
a bonus does not stack with itself. The
cap's wearer could, for example, expend
one feather for a +5 bonus on skill
checks, then a second feather for a +10
bonus on a single Diplomacy check for a
total bonus of +15. The wearer could not,
however, pluck three feathers for a +30
bonus on his next Intimidate check.

A healer's mask casts remove disease on its
wearer when first donned. A healer's mask
can only cast remove disease once; if
removed and donned again it provides
only the +2 bonus on saves. For one
month after the mask casts remove disease
it provides a +2 bonus on all saves made
to resist or overcome diseases (natural or
magical) to anyone wearing the mask
when such a save must he made. At the
end of that month the healer's mask
becomes a nonmagical burlap mask. Any
creature may gain the saving throw
bonus, but only the first creature to put

This item looks like a simple, hollowed-out
stuffed elk head.
When worn by a ranger the mantle
merges with its wearer's head. Donning
the mantle grants a ranger darkvision out
to 120 feet as well as a +4 enhancement
bonus to his Strength and Constitution
scores. He also benefits from a +8 bonus
on all intimidate skill checks and can,
twice per day, summon a pair of dire elk
(see page 74 of the MONSTER MANUAL
II) to aid him (as per summon nature's ally
IV). These elk remain for 18 rounds or
until slain.
The mantle of the Elk King bestows one
negative level on any nonranger who
dons it. The negative level remains as
long as the mantle is worn and disappears
when it is removed. This negative level
never results in actual level loss, but it
cannot be overcome in any way while the
mantle is worn.
Lore: Designed for rangers belonging
to the Fraternity of the Elk King, a mantle
of the Elk King belongs to each guildhall
of the fraternity. It is nearly impossible
to find this item outside of the
organization, as its members zealously
guard (and use) the mantle. The secret of
the construction of these powerful items
was lost with the disappearance of the

MIRRORED CREATURE
The mirrored creatures pulled forth from the mask of diamond tears are the same as the
target of the mask but are subject to changes based on the different circumstances of
their home plane and their divergent life choices.
Creating a Mirrored Creature
"Mirrored" is an unusual template that can be added to any humanoid or monstrous
humanoid that currently exists on the Material Plane. Unlike a normal template, a
mirrored creature does not represent an enhanced or modified version of the base
creature. Instead, the template creates an alternate version of the creature based on
different circumstances or choices the creature may have experienced in an alternate
version of the Material Plane. All mirrored creatures have one thing in common: they
seek to destroy their counterparts on other Material Planes.
All mirrored creatures are evil. A mirrored creature is always the same effective
character level (ECL) as the target. You should design alternate PCs that are tailor-made
for your players. Use the following suggestions as guidelines.
Racial Alteration
A racial alteration results from different circumstances and choices taken by the
mirrored creature's parents. A human target of the mask may yield a half-elf or half-orc
mirrored creature. A halfling may become a different subrace. The racial aberration
should be slight and easy to explain.
Character Class Alteration
If the mirrored character's class changes, reassign the creature's original ability scores
to match his new class. Generate the mirrored creature's base attack bonus, saves, hit
points, skills, feats, and class features as appropriate for his new class.

Sometimes an alternate plane's situation is remarkably divergent. Fiends from the
Nine Hells may have crushed the home plane of the mirrored creature. Lycanthropy
may have spread unchecked, or transdimesional energies may have infused the plane's
residents with chaotic mutations. Feel free to use your imagination in creating the exact
nature of the drastic aberration. It may involve applying a template to the mirrored
creature (half-fiend, half dragon, psudonatural creature, etc.). The mirrored creature's
ECL should equal the PC's (often resulting fewer class levels).
Mirror Jump
Mirrored creatures can move through mirrored and reflective surfaces up to three
times per day in a manner similar to shadow walk, but using the Plane of Mirrors. As a
standard action, a mirrored creature may touch a mirror and then exit from a mirror that
is no farther than 1 mile away. Normally automatically successful, a mirrored creature
can attempt to jump through a surface that is only partially reflective (like a still pool of
water or shiny metal abject) with a 30% chance of success, although it must always exit
through a mirror.

becoming a part of it, and can only be
removed with a successful break
enchantment, miracle, remove curse, or wish.
Any attempt to remove the bonded mask
other than casting the aforementioned
spells deals 1d6 points of damage to the
wearer.
Once the mask has bonded to his face,
whenever the wearer is in natural
sunlight the mask seems to draw in the
sun's power. This fills the wearer with a
sensation of warmth, fulfillment, and
personal strength, granting a +4
enhancement bonus to Charisma.
Once bonded and away from the
natural sunlight, however, the true
horror of the mask becomes apparent. If
deprived of the sun's light, the wearer
feels lethargic, tired, and old. In this
condition, the mask's wearer loses the +4
enhancement bonus to Charisma, and
instead suffers a -6 penalty to her
Charisma.

These upright white hats made of a heavy
cloth bear Pelor's holy symbol.
Healers of all faiths who spend time on
battlefields cherish these items. Veterans
generally don't bother directly attacking
those wearing medic hats, as the hats
provide their wearers with a powerful
ward that guards them against direct
assault.
Whenever a medic hat wearer casts a
spell of the conjuration (healing)
subschool she is protected as by the
sanctuary spell (DC 11) for 1 round her
level of healing spell cast (a 0-level spell
grants no sanctuary effect). The duration
of the sanctuary effect overlaps with
multiple healing spells so that only the
highest-level or most recent spell affects
it. For example, a cleric who casts heal is
protected for 6 rounds. If she casts heal
again on the next round the duration of
her sanctuary effect lasts for 6 rounds
beginning that round.
Those who succeed on the Will save to
attack the wearer of a medic hat are
immune to its effects for one day.

Weight: 1 lb.
Source: Dragon 333 (Bazaar of the
Bizarre: Treasures of the Gnome Hills)
Although each maker fashioned these
magic necklaces according to his own tastes,
every necklace has one thing in common: a
large chunk of amber that makes up the
centerpiece of the necklace. Most misleading
necklaces are made from simple silver threads
upon which hang rough pieces of dark golden
amber. Some more elaborate crafters frame
the amber in gold, silver, or platinum designs.
The semitransparent stone can take almost
any shape, from neat triangles, round spheres,
and perfect squares to more organically shaped
forms.
A misleading necklace helps its owner
fake his own death once per day as an
immediate action, but only in response to
the wearer taking damage from a magic
item, spell, spell-like ability, or
supernatural ability.
When activated, the misleading necklace
instantaneously casts both a cure serious
wounds and an extended mislead spell on
its wearer. The figment created by the
mislead effect appears in the owner's
place. In the next instant, the figment of
the owner appears to die in a way
appropriate to damage-dealing effect
(charred by flames, encased in ice, and so
on). The effect is gruesome and
spectacular, and the illusion is complete
with smells, sounds, and thermal effects.
The apparently dead figment remains in
place for 3 minutes (30 rounds).

When worn it immediately inflicts 1d4

penalty for dying still applies. Once the

Relic Power: To use this relic, you
must worship Ilmater and either sacrifice
a 3rd-level divine spell slot or have the
True Believer feat and at least 5 Hit Dice.
Lore: Daltrond Rica was considered
one of the greatest healers in Sembia.
When the Shaking Plague stretched like
a death veil over nearby Scardale, he
journeyed there without thought of his
safety. Daltrond followed the trail of
rotting bodies, giving the blessing of the
Broken God to both the dead and to
survivors who had lost their loved ones
to the disease.
By the time he reached the Sembian
garrison in Scardale, the Ilmatari
trembled with fevered chills. He had
caught the Shaking Plague. Half of the
garrison was dead, and the other half
bedridden. Daltrond worked until he
could stand no more, knowing that to
cure himself might mean that one of his
charges would die. His final breath was a
prayer to Ilmater.
One of the soldiers saw the miracle.
Daltrorrd's bloody ribbon accoutrements
that bound his wrists and ankles
expanded and wrapped around him like
snakes; Mummifying him instantly. Just
as quickly; the ribbons faded and fell
apart: Daltrond awoke, alive and free of
the disease and its debilitating effects.
Still wanting to help others, the
Ilmatari pressed farther into the infected
lands and eventually once again fell ill
with the plague that so many people had
survived because of him. A shrine to the
Broken God was built on the site where
he at last succumbed to the disease.
Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item,
Sanctify Relic, resurrection, creator must

Wearing the

the bearer a
pronounced
confidence in his
interactions with others,
granting a+2 sacred bonus to
Charisma. Furthermore, others see this
confidence, making initial NPC attitudes
one level higher than they normally
would be (making indifferent NPCs
become friendly and so on). Note that
this ability only affects the wearer of the
ring of fairhair, and a creature or
individual who might be only unfriendly
to the ring's wearer might still be hostile
toward other members of her group.
Also, any hostile action taken by the
Sunite breaks the power of the ring over
the creatures or individual affected.
Many would see an attack as the deepest
of betrayals, and might pursue the Sunite
above all others. This power cannot be
turned off but does take 24 hours to take
effect and remains with the wearer for 24
hours after taking off the ring.
Relic Power: To use this relic, you
must worship Sune and either sacrifice a
4th-level divine spell slot or have the
True Believer feat and at least 7 Hit Dice.
Lore: During the Time of Troubles,
Sune rescued Sharess, goddess of sensual
fulfillment, from her darkly hedonistic
passions and near consumption by Sham.
In their escape from the Dark Goddess'
grasp, threads of Sune's hair fell to the
Material Plane and folioed into perfectly

Like many dwarven rings, rings of
spelunking are wide, thick bands that
look heavier than they actually are.
These perfectly round bands scintillate
when held up to the light. The surface
of a ring of spelunking is so well
polished that, at first glance, it appears
to have been cut from a single piece of
semi-precious stone. A closer look,
however, reveals that it is composed of
countless fragments taken from various types
of stones and gems seamlessly melded together.
A ring of spelunking grants the wearer an
intuitive familiarity with all things
related to natural caverns and the
creatures inhabiting them, giving a +10
competence bonus on Knowledge

has darkvision, the ring improves this
ability, doubling the range the wearer can
see in total darkness. Wearers without
darkvision gain no benefit from this

A ring of the frost giant jarl allows you

common names are Medvyed, Varuna,

separately if you wish). The winter
wolves appear where you designate
within 60 feet, act immediately on your

jarl, you can, once per day, rub the rings
together as a free action to gain a freezing

enough to provide you with

The pearl’s powers affect only Medium
humanoids. Wearers able to cast spells
gain the ability to do so at +1 caster level
strength. The sea hag’s pearl is cursed with
the power to turn its wearer into sea hag
as per the spell shapechange, but with
permanent duration and no Hit Die limit.
Each day after the first that a character
wears the sea hag’s pearl, she must make a
Fortitude save (DC 19). A failed save
means the character has taken one step
closer to becoming a sea hag as her skin
yellows and warts emerge. For 24 hours
following a failed save, the wearer
experiences waking dreams as her
thoughts become more haglike. During
this period, the wearer can take single
actions only (like a zombie; MM 266). A
wearer who fails three (nonconsecutive)
checks permanently becomes a standard
(3 HD) sea hag of chaotic evil alignment
(MM 144), losing any previously held
class abilities but retaining nonphysical
attributes and skills. Only a miracle or
wish can revert a fully transformed
character back to her original form. A
wearer who is only partially transformed
(failed one or two Fortitude saves) can
also reverse the process by destroying the
sea hag’s pearl that caused the initial
transformation.

Barehanded, a great paladin of the stars
who discovered a heretical Cuthbertine
cult and forced them all to convert to the
proper teachings of the faith or face his
wrath. In the four years it took to
eradicate the cult (by conversion and
billing), Mar saved the lives of dozens of
church heroes and inspired thousands
more to join the cause. He died an old
man in his bed and was buried with his
armor and tabard, but his tomb was later
defiled and looted by the church of
Nerull, and most believe the item is still
in their possession somewhere.

Sometimes called a "performer's face" or
"actor's visage," each of these fascinating
masks is a unique and intricate work of art.
Fashioned by the greatest elven artists of the
modern age, no two thespians masks are alike.
A thespian's mask is carved from the finest
ivory and then painted to resemble the face of
a humanoid creature. Depending on the
whim of the artisan creating it, a thespian's
mask might, for example, bear a fearsome orc
warrior's visage, the fair skin of an elven
maiden, or the face of an old human sage.
When worn, the mask merges with its
owner's face, changing his features to
match those of the humanoid creature
depicted upon it. The
change affects the
wearer as the spell
disguise self, but it only
changes the wearer's
appearance to match
that of the face the
mask was crafted to
depict. For example, a
thespian mask in the
form of a fair-skinned
elven maiden would
disguise its wearer-
including clothing and
equipment-as an elven Thespian’s Mask
maiden and nothing else.

A tiara of shadow blending is made from
basalt ornamented by a handful of black
pearls. A closer look at the item reveals the
pearls embedded in it lack the sheen of
the tiara's shiny black luster.
Although the surface of the item is
glassy, it emits an eerie aura of
shade when worn.
The tiara of shadow blending
absorbs a portion of an area's
ambient light, creating a
menacing shadow around the
owner's form. Three times per
day, while in an area of shadowy
illumination, its owner can blend
into shadows, making him invisible

twitches despite its imprisonment.
These amulets are always crafted in sets
of three; if one is lost or broken, the
others become inert until a replacement
amulet is crafted. If all three wearers of a
tripartite amulet of the hive mind are within
30 feet of each other, then all three

Source: Dungeon 128 (Age of Worms –
The Champion’s Belt)
This minor artifact of the cult of Kyuss
consists of a 5-foot-long sheet of vellum sewn
to a pair of darkwood rollers.
Several copies of the scrolls are
thought to exist, and all have the same
purpose–providing the user with the
ability to contact one of the “Apostles of
Kyuss'' so it can perform a mass sacrifice
in honor of its master. The scrolls are
written in Abyssal and contain a long and
complex litany filled with horrific
imagery and descriptions. Performing
this ritual takes 24 hours, but it can be
split into three 8-hour shifts over the
course of three days.
Once activated, the scrolls transport an
ulgurstasta from the Wormcrawl Fissure
to a single point within 100 feet of the
scrolls as directed by the reader. The
scrolls create a special containment
sphere to protect the ulgurstasta during
its growth period. The sphere is a 2o-foot
radius sphere of force similar to a wall of
force. The scrolls themselves are protected
by temporal stasis, and the two are
connected by a beam of writhing green
light. Each day that passes, the
ulgurstasta gains 1d8 hit points, up to the
maximum allowed by its hit dice (204 hit
points for a 17-Hit-Die specimen). This
hit point gain is permanent. During this
stage, anyone who touches the scrolls can
"feel" the ulgurstasta's evil mind and can
communicate with it telepathically. The
ulgurstasta is ready to perform the final
portion of the ritual once it reaches
maximum hit points
The containment sphere is invisible,
and feels like a cold, transparent barrier
of rubbery material. The reader of the
scrolls who created the sphere can touch
it safely, but any other creature who
touches it takes 12d6 points of damage
from negative energy (DC 20 Fortitude
save for half damage).
The reader of the Apostolic Scrolls can
cause the sphere to vanish at any time as
a standard action. The sphere can also be
destroyed in one of the following ways.
• The sphere can be destroyed with
a disintegrate, Mordenkainen's
disjunction, rod of cancellation,
miracle, wish, or a sphere of
annihilation
• The sphere can be destroyed by
successful turn undead check. The
cleric must make a DC 20 turn
undead check, followed
immediately by a DC 20 caster
level check. Failure on either roll
causes a backlash of negative
energy that inflicts 1d4 negative
levels on the character. Success on
both rolls weakens the sphere
enough that a successful dispel
magic cast at it in the next 1d4
rounds against caster level 20th
causes it to vanish,
• If the original reader of the scrolls
is slain, the ulgurstasta ceases to
gain hit points and instead loses
1d8 hit points per day until it
reaches average hit points for a
specimen of its size. At this point,
the sphere vanishes and the
ulgurstasta is released into the
environs, likely in an
extraordinarily foul mood.
• If the reader of the scrolls releases
the ulgurstasta once it has reached
maximum hit points, it shimmers
with a green light and
permanently gains the benefits of
haste, shield of faith, and bull's
strength (caster level 20th). Finally,
an ulgurstasta enhanced in this
manner now creates spawn of
Kyuss rather than skeletons of any
humanoid creature it swallows.
• Each copy of the Apostolic Scrolls
works only once. When the sphere
of containment is taken down and
the ulgurstasta within is released,
the scrolls become nonmagical.
The lore within remains, however,
and if consulted it grants a +4
bonus on any Knowledge
(religion) checks made about
Kyuss and his cult.

create an alarm spell that affects the
enclosed area until such time as the
stakes are pulled up by someone with the
appropriate password. In order to be
effective, each stake must be within 20
feet of at least two others, making a 20-
foot square the most common
arrangement. Stakes taken out of range
quit humming and lose their
effectiveness until brought back within
range of their fellows.
Any other creature crossing the
invisible line between two stakes or
attempting to remove one or more stakes
triggers the alarm as per the spell
76
description, sounding a loud klaxon
audible only to those in the enclosed
area.
Additionally, the stakes have the
option of creating a soothing white noise,
as a ghost sound spell, that helps to drown
out background noise. If used in this
way, creatures outside the perimeter of
the staked-off area take a -2 penalty on
Listen checks to hear inside it.
An arcane fence comes in a set of four
stakes, but multiple sets can be combined
to allow for a larger area to be protected.
Stakes from more than one set can be
attuned to one another by bundling them
together with a silk rope for one week. At
the end of that week, the sets can be used
independently or together for up to one
month. If the sets are not used together
within a month of becoming attuned,
they must be retuned.
A set of arcane fence stakes can
function with as few as three stakes. A
single replacement stake costs 1,000 gp
and must be crafted in the presence of
the remaining stakes in a set.
A more luxurious version of the arcane
fence, with a market price of 4,000 gp,
grants all the same benefits but includes
the effects of an endure elements spell for
everyone within the enclosed area.
Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item,
alarm, ghost sound.
Cost to Create: 1,000 gp, 80 XP, 2 days.
ARK OF FORCED RETURN
Price (Item Level): 115,000 gp (21th)
Body Slot: –– (held)
Caster Level: 16th
Aura: Strong; (DC 23) abjuration
Activation: Standard (command)
Weight: 200 lbs.
Source: Dungeon 119 (Tomb of Aknar
Ratalla)
This 200-pound gilded box has a fiery glyph
suspended a few feet above its surface.
An ark of forced return is generally
carried by four bearers–one at each
corner, with the ark itself taking up a
square. The ark is sturdy and can be
dropped as a free action, but it only
functions when activated by four
creatures in contact with it at the same
time. Activating the ark is a standard
action for these four creatures, who must
all be divine spellcasters.
If creatures with the extraplanar sub-
type are within 30 feet of an ark of forced
return when it is activated, they must
succeed at a Will save (DC 20) or be sent
back to their home plane.
Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item,

A harp made of wood plated with gold
which stands on four clawed legs.
The masterwork harp is a construct
capable of movement and has statistics
identical to a Medium animated object
made of wood. Like a golem, it follows
the commands of its creator or those its
creator designates.
In addition to the normal actions an
animated object can take, the autonomous
harp can be commanded to play itself as a
free action (playing itself is also a free
action for the harp), providing a +2

BAALPHEGOR’S GRACE
Price (Item Level): Priceless
Body Slot: ––
Caster Level: Unknown
Aura: Unknown
Activation: Standard (manipulation)
Weight: Unknown
Source: Dungeon 135 (Age of Worms –
Dawn of A New Age)
A non-evil creature who drinks from
Baalphegor's Grace must make a DC 20
Fortitude save or die. If the character
survives, he must make a DC 20 Will save
or his alignment changes to lawful evil.
Any character who successfully drinks
from the vial finds that he becomes
linked to a group of powerful erinyes
devils known as the Blessed Angels.
These devils once served Baalphegor as
elite guards, yet since her disappearance
and the artifact's fall into the Material
Plane, these erinyes instead serve
whoever drinks from the vial. A total of
15 Blessed Angels are linked to
Baalphegor's Grace. Of these, 12 are 4th-
level mortal hunters. The remaining
 Complete Dragon & Dungeon Magazine 3.5 Magic Items – Tools
three are the elite leaders of the Blessed
Angels; their stats appear on the
following page. If a Blessed Angel is
slain, their numbers do not automaticly
replenish. Generally, the owner of
Baalphegor's Grace must use the artifact's
powers (or other powerful magic) to
restore a slain Blessed Angel to life.
A character who drinks of Baalphegor's
Grace gains the following benefits for the
next 24 hours.
• He can communicate
telepathically with any of the
Blessed Angels across any
distance, as long as he and the
target erinyes are on the same
plane.
• As a standard action, the character
may cause a Blessed Angel within
60 feet to become wracked with
pain. This inflicts 12d6 points of
damage on the erinyes and stuns
her for 1 round. If she makes a DC
20 Fortitude save, she takes half
damage and is not stunned.
• A Blessed Angel who successfully
harms someone under the effects
of Baalphegor's Grace is immediately
wracked with pain, as if that
character had used the above
ability on her.
• Once a round, up to three times a
day, the character may use a
demand spell (DC 22, caster level
20th) against any of the Blessed
Angels. If the Blessed Angel has
more Hit Dice than the character,
the angel receives a +4 profane
bonus on this saving throw. If the
Blessed Angel makes her save, the
erinyes can immediately use this
power on the character. A Blessed
Angel generally uses this
opportunity to trick the character
into working an act of evil upon
his friends and family.
The Blessed Angels' true master
remains Mephistopheles, and some day
his attentions will return to the artifact
and he shall command the erinyes to
deliver the one who claims it to his court
for punishment. Until this time comes,
the Blessed Angels begrudgingly serve
any master who drinks from the vial.
Lore: This potent artifact was
reputedly crafted over six hundred years
ago by the archdevil Mephistopheles,
who created the vial to capture the blood
and tears of his consort Baalphegor for
loan to favored cults on the Material
Plane. Recent events in Hell have
claimed Mephistopheles' attentions for
77
several decades, and in that time he has
lost track of Baalphegor's Grace. It came
into Lashonna's possession a decade ago,
and she quickly used it to secure a group
of agents in Alhaster who reported to
Zeech but ultimately remained loyal to
her alone.
BAMBOO FLUTE
Price (Item Level): 9,000 gp (12th)
Body Slot: –– (held)
Caster Level: 3rd
Aura: Faint; (DC 16) enchantment and
transmutation
Activation: Standard (manipulation)
Weight: 1lb.
Source: Dragon 335 (Class Acts: Bardic
Magic Items)
As the name implies, bamboo flutes are
crafted from bamboo. Many bear simple
carvings of apple blossoms and other flowers
with lightly painted smatterings of color. The
majority of the flute remains untouched so
that the simplistic beauty of the natural
bamboo reed remains apparent.
Using a bamboo flute requires a DC 15
Perform (wind instruments) check made
as a standard action. Once per day, the
flute's user can cast owl's wisdom. Three
times per day, its user can cast calm
emotions. A DC 13 Will save negates this
effect.
Lore: One need not be a bard to have a
deep appreciation for music, as the
monks of the White Cloud Monastery
can attest. The members of this
gregarious sect believe that a great deal of
wisdom comes from music and that by
simply playing harmonious melodies one
can channel this wisdom to enlighten the
soul. The founder of the monastery
crafted the first bamboo flute long ago
and carried it wherever he went, playing
melodies throughout his stories and
teachings. Contemporary claims called
the effect simultaneously calming and
enlightening. The monks of the White
Cloud Monastery continue their master's
tradition to this day, using bamboo flutes
as teaching tools.
Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item,
calm emotions, owl's wisdom.
BARDING OF SIZE
ALTERATION
Price (Item Level): 45,718 gp (17th,
Medium or smaller), 55,718 (18th, Large)
Body Slot: Animal’s torso
Caster Level: 9th
Aura: Moderate; (DC 19) transmutation
Activation: Standard (command)
Weight: By size
Source: Dragon 338 (Class Acts: Animal
Magic)
Wrought of mithral and often bearing
elaborate etchings of battle featuring the
animal it was crafted for, barding of size
alteration is typically created with a unique
animal in mind.
Barding of size alteration exists for
animals of all kinds and shapes. A
blacksmith can easily adjust the armor to
fit animals of a similar kind and size with
a DC 12 Craft (armorsmithing) check (for
example, wolfbarding can be adjusted to
fit a dog, but cannot be worn by a bear).
Barding of size alteration is +1 mithral
chainmail barding. Three times per day,
the barding can shrink the animal
wearing it, as the spell reduce animal.
Once per day the barding can make the
animal wearing it grow, as the spell
animal growth. To activate these abilities,
the animal's keeper must touch the
animal and speak the proper command
word. This requires a standard action, and
the abilities only function if the animal is
willing to alter its size (in nearly all cases
the animal willingly changes if
commanded by its master, but is not
likely to comply if commanded by
another). Animals wearing barding of size
alteration with an intelligence score of 5
or higher and the ability to speak may
activate the barding's abilities
themselves.
Lore: Medvyed, a particularly
intelligent and powerful winter wolf,
once scourged the northlands. He led a
tribe of fearsome goblins and trolls,
demanding tribute of all those in the
region and enacting swift and horrible
retribution upon those who refused to
comply. After narrowly escaping death at
the hands of adventurers, Medvyed
commissioned a frost giant shaman to
craft him the first suit of barding of size
alteration. His shining armor made him
even more fearsome and renowned
throughout the land. After encountering
Medvyed multiple times, the rangers and
druids of the region crafted similar suits
for their own animal companions. With
their newfound might they hunted down
Medvyed and destroyed him. Since then,
barding of size alteration has grown greatly
in popularity.
Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and
Armor, animal growth, reduce animal.

bits of mortal flesh to her body, the

BATTERING BALL
Price (Item Level): 2,000 gp (6th)
Body Slot: ––
Caster Level: 9th
Aura: Moderate; (DC 19) transmutation
Activation: Standard (command)
Weight: 15 lbs.
Source: Dragon 341 (Bazaar of the
Bizarre: Animated Antiquities)
Adventurers invariably encounter
obstacles such as blocked entrances and
locked doors. In such cases, the only
thing better than a battering ram is a
battering ball.
Weighing less than a portable ram and
at only 1 foot in diameter, the battering
ball nevertheless packs a heavy punch.
Upon command, a battering ball flies up to
10 feet until it strikes a solid object. It
then quickly returns to its original
position, flying back using the most
direct route. Once per round it flies
forward again, repeating this action until
commanded to stop.
A battering ball has a +12 bonus for the
purpose of overcoming the break DC of
an object. A battering ball cannot attack
attended objects. If a battering ball enters
a square occupied by a creature it stops
short of striking the creature and returns
to its starting square, where it does not
move again until commanded.
Lore: Originally used by Dwarven
miners, battering balls broke into the open
market when gnome engineers began
using them for demolition tasks. Gnome
engineers who completed an
architectural project sometimes sold
battering balls to city merchants or
adventurers with the appropriate
contacts.

Playing the battle rattle helps inspire

one skill check or attack roll made within
the next round. It is effective only once
per encounter, and it has no effect
outside of combat. A character using
bardic music and a battle rattle in
conjunction with the Inspire Courage
ability increases the morale bonus
granted by +1.

This magically enhanced wood
instrument summons the crew to battle

Once per day, Captain Rogers's battle
rattle can be used to also protect all allies

BEER OF ETERNITY
Price (Item Level): 750 gp (3rd)
Body Slot: –– (held)
Caster Level: 7th
Aura: Moderate; (DC 18) conjuration
Activation: Standard (manipulation)
Weight: ––
Source: Dragon 334 (Drunkards &
Flagons: Fantasy’s Deadliest Spirits)
Due to its association with natural
death beer of eternity deals damage to
undead who come in contact with it
(treat as holy water). In addition, any
living creature who drinks at least one
flagon of beer of eternity becomes invisible
to all undead, although intelligent
undead receive a DC 11 Will save to see
through the illusion. This effect lasts for
1 hour. Finally, drinking a flagon of beer
of eternity removes one negative level
from the imbiber.
Lore: This is a type of ancient beer
used in burial rites by a number of
primitive human societies. Gifts of beer
of eternity and other worldly goods were
often buried along with the deceased in
order to placate its spirit and speed its
journey to the afterlife. Although these
ancient societies are long gone, recipes
for beer of eternity have survived, carved
on stone tablets or on the walls of tombs.
Beer of eternity is exceedingly hard to
brew, as it requires the brewer to
impregnate the mixture with positive
energy through a series of rituals and
prayers.
Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item,
invisibility to undead, restoration.
BLACK SALT ROD
Price (Item Level): 40,000 gp (17th)
Body Slot: –– (held)
Caster Level: 13th
Aura: Strong; (DC 21) necromancy
Activation: –– and Standard
Weight: 1 lb.
Source: Dragon 335 (Bazaar of the
Bizarre: Swamp Swag)
Ink-black salt forms the full length of this
1-inch diameter, foot-long rod. It feels rough
to the touch and tasting it confirms that it is
indeed made of salt, although its magic
construction prevents it from dissolving
normally.
The black salt rod detects unnatural
creatures and protects its bearer from
them. If a construct or undead creature
comes within 60 feet of the rod's wielder,
the rod emits an acrid, briny smell and
stains its bearer's hand black (the stain
disappears when no constructs or undead
are in range or if the bearer stops holding
the rod.) The rod detects disguised,
ethereal, hidden, incorporeal, or invisible
constructs and undead as well as those in
plain sight. If the bearer concentrates for
a full round, the rod pinpoints the
location of the nearest construct or
undead within 60 feet and indicates how
many are within range (although it does
not reveal their exact locations).
The rod can be used in this way three
times each day, each use lasting up to 10
minutes. Activating this ability is a
standard action. When held, the rod
protects its bearer with a death ward spell
that functions only against attacks that
originate from an undead creature's
supernatural attacks (and not any abilities
they gain from class levels, such as a
lich's spellcasting ability).

(The Black Egg)
This smooth, jet black egg-shaped stone is
about 6 feet tall and 3 feet around. Legends
say it was originally carved from the heart of
a hellfire worm that had been transmuted
into iron. The Black Egg is wrought of cold
black steel, with a significant-sized chip
removed from its face.
The very touch of the Black Egg
corrupts and compels. Any creature that
makes physical contact with the Egg must
succeed at a Will Save (DC 30; or their
alignment becomes chaotic evil and they
seek to use the power of the Black Egg to
wreak havoc and to selfishly safeguard it
from all other creatures. The Black Egg
only submits to powerful allies. If a
creature with 9 or fewer Hit Dice tries to
claim the Black Egg as its own, the Egg
attempts to disintegrate the target
(Fortitude save DC 22). The range for this
effect is touch, and only the Egg itself can
choose to activate it, up to once per
round, as a free action.
For every 19 Hit Dice worth of souls
fed to the Black Egg by the blood claw or a
soul bind spell, the Black Egg produces a
single young adult half-fiend red dragon
that is under the complete control of the
Black Egg (as manifested through the Egg's
current "owner'); this control spans even
planar boundaries. The half-fiend dragon
serves faithfully until it or the Black Egg
is destroyed. If the owner of the Black Egg
is slain and has no blood relatives, the
half-fiend dragon becomes free-willed.
The curse of the Black Egg is insidious.
If its current owner fails to feed it any
souls over the course of a year, its taint
spreads to the most closely related blood
relative of the prior owner, who must
then make a successful Will Save (DC 30)
to avoid the same obsession with the
Black Egg. Victims must continue to make
80
this saving throw once every week as
long as the Black Egg exists.
The intelligence in the Black Egg
(likely the undead soul of the
hellfire wyrm from which it
spawned) is lawful evil and has
the following mental ability
scores: Int 23, Wis 26, and
Cha 28. It can speak with its
owner via telepathy, and has
the following skills: Bluff
+26, Diplomacy +32,
Intimidate +35, Knowledge
(arcana) +31, Knowledge
(history) +31, Knowledge
(religion) +31, and Knowledge
(the planes) +31. It has an ego
of 28.
Although the Black Egg is a
major artifact, it is possible to destroy
it by inflicting enough damage. The
Egg has AC 3, hardness 20, 600 hp,
and a Break DC of 40. All hit point
damage done to the Black Egg is
healed each time it creates a half-
fiend dragon.

SYNERGISTIC
SPELLBOOKS
Several synergistic spellbooks exist,
and each is a unique minor artifact. A
synergistic spellbook functions on its
simplest level as a mere spellbook that
any wizard can prepare from. The magic
of a synergistic spellbook shows any
wizard who looks through it the
formulas for spells in the wizard's own
handwriting and notation system. This
allows the wizard to memorize spells
from a synergistic spellbook without
the aid of read magic or the need of a
Spellcraft check. Thus, multiple
wizards can easily prepare spells from
the same synergistic spellbook.
These tomes provide other, greater
powers as well. The first wizard to
prepare spells from a synergistic
spellbook in each 24-hour period gains
certain special abilities based on the
total number of spell levels prepared
from the artifact. These special abilities
last for 24 hours or until expended. The
wizard prepares his spells as normal,
but he must state which spells he
prepares from the synergistic
spellbook. Synergistic spellbooks hold
0-level spells, but they are too weak to
activate the books' magic. Thus, 0-level
spells don't count toward the wizard's
total prepared spell levels.
Each synergistic spellbook's
description has a table that lists the
special abilities granted by the book for
a range of prepared spell levels. As long
as the caster maintains the minimum
number of prepared spell levels listed
on the table, he gains the ability listed
on the table for that number of total
spell levels and any abilities granted for
having fewer total spell levels. As the
wizard casts his prepared spells, the
abilities available to him diminish
commensurately. If the book grants a
bonus, such bonuses follow the normal
rules for stacking (or nonstacking)
bonus types. If the book lists a spell as a
special ability, the wizard may cast that
spell the listed number of times as a
spell-like ability with the caster level
equal to that of the synergistic
spellbook.
Treat the effects of these special
abilities as if they were gained from an
artifact level magic item rather than
from a spell. Thus, dispel magic cannot
remove a special ability or bonus
granted by a synergistic spell-book, and
Mordenkainen's disjunction only has a 1%
chance per caster level of ending or
removing the special ability. A wizard
cannot add new spells to a synergistic
spellbook.

negates). This curse has a permanent
effect but may be removed as normal.
Any name can only appear in a book of
all names once, and thus a creature
targeted by an effect from the book can
only be cursed or aided once. Even if a
creature has multiple names it can only
be affected by a specific book of all names
once. A creature without a name, or
without a name the user knows, cannot
be affected by this item.

most of the time. A brazen skull's
attendant spirit can be awakened by
anointing it with the blood of a
humanoid sacrifice. Doing so causes the
skulls eyes to glow with a ruddy light.
The person who anointed the skull can
then beseech it for a demonic boon. Each
skull has a spellcasting power of a 13th-
level cleric of Baphomet, although its
selection of spells is limited. In order to
convince the skull to cast a spell, the user
must make an Intimidate check (DC 10 +
the level of the spell requested + 2 for
each previous use that day) as a full-
round action. Failure indicates the skull
grows dormant and cannot be used again
for the remainder of the day. Success
indicates that the skull casts the spell for
the user at the target indicated. If a spell
requires costly material components or a
costly focus, the user must place the
costly component in the skull's mouth.
Material components are consumed as
the spell is cast, but a focus is not. If a
spell requires experience points to cast,
they are deducted from the user's total. If
a spell has a range of, personal, it instead
targets the user of the skull.
A brazen skull typically has the

restoration; 1/day--antilife shell, atonement,
blasphemy, break enchantment, commune,
desecrate, dispel good, divination, enlarge
person, heal, magic circle against good,
obscure object, resurrection, speak with dead,
spell immunity, stoneskin, zone of truth.
Spells cast do not replenish naturally.
The user must partake of a vile ritual
involving the sacrifice of a living creature
(not necessarily an intelligent one) at
midnight. This ritual takes an hour to
perform, and if the skull has been used to
cast any spells within the previous hours,
the ritual fails. Otherwise, it
automatically restores all previously cast
spells.
Lore: Baphomet doesn't generally pay
close attention to the actions of his
cultists on the Material Plane, but this is
not to say that he's not interested in their
goals and development. He simply
counts his war with Yeenoghu as more
important. When he first discovered that
many rural communities were turning to
his worship, he created thirteen brass
busts of his bestial visage, fitting each
with the severed horns of his thirteen
greatest (at the time) minotaur priests.

in this way remain as long as the painter
keeps the brush and disappear when the
brush of the fallen master is permanently

result in actual level loss, but they cannot
be overcome in any way (including
restoration spells) while the brush of the

Activation: See text
Weight: 3 lbs.
Source: Dungeon 134 (And Madness

This thick, ancient tome is written in
an archaic form of Common that sees
little use today. In order to understand
the codex, the reader must make a DC 30
Decipher Script check. There are
extensive notes (in Auran) in the margins
of the book, so a character who can read
Auran need only make a DC 25 Decipher
Script to understand the codex's
contents. Comprehending the hook
requires 48 hours of study over a
minimum of six days,
Much of the Carcosa Codex is near
senseless philosophical rantings about
the nature of dreams and art, but buried
in the text are some truly frightening
secrets. The anonymous writer claims
knowledge of an ancient city called
Carcosa that exists on a distant world in
another dimension. Carcosa is a place of
tall buildings and haunting sounds, said
to be ruled by a mysterious figure
mentioned at times in the work as the
King in Yellow and at other times as an
entity called Hastur. In places, the writer
seems confused as to whether the city
itself is named Carcosa or Hastur.
Perhaps the most disturbing facet of
the book is its contention that Carcosa is
in fact a strange form of "parasitic city"
that can infiltrate reality through the
dreams of artists, infecting the Material
Plane and then drawing the infected
portions into itself to grow.
Once a character reads and
comprehends the Carcosa Codex, he gains
a +2 inherent bonus on Knowledge
(arcane) and Perform checks. He also
gains the ability to use dream and
nightmare as spell-like abilities once a day

contains instructions for the
creation of a magic item
called a pallid mask. If the
reader meets the minimum
caster level required to
create the pallid mask, the
Carcosa Codex effectively
grants the reader the

time, money, and XP to
create it.
The Carcosa Codex was in fact written
by the King in Yellow himself. Any
character who reads the entirety of the
Carcosa Codex takes 1d4 points of Wisdom
damage upon comprehending the
complex work. Thereafter, he must make
a DC 15 Fortitude save each day to avoid
taking another 1d4 points of Wisdom
damage. A character reduced to 0
Wisdom in this manner becomes a pawn
of the King in Yellow (at this point the
victim's Wisdom no longer suffers
damage and can eventually heal back to
normal).
This condition is a curse, and as such it
can be removed by break enchantment or
remove curse. Once the condition is
removed, the character loses the spell-
like abilities and inherent bonuses
granted by the book and must study the
codex again to regain them. A character
who becomes the thrall of the King in
Yellow is likely lost forever, only the
most powerful magic (miracle or wish) can
save such a damned soul.

The front cover of this large dusty tome
bares a poorly tanned and stretched
humanoid face, with jagged teeth protruding
from the mouth, nostrils, and eyes. Only half
of the rotted pages bear any writing, and each
of those offers the detailed physical description any other
of an individual inscribed in Infernal.
This disgusting tome makes an
insidious trap for book thieves. When
activated, the carnivorous
tome rests among other
books and alters its
appearance to fit in with
nearby tomes. If a
creature touches the
carnivorous tome without
first speaking the command
word, the tome immediately
animates, its mouth
suddenly taking on a dark
sheen that glows a pale sea-
green and rasping as if taking
a dead breath with ancient,
dust-filled lungs. The
creature touching the tome risks
becoming trapped within its pages,
sucked in by the drawing breath of the
cover's mouth. The creature must
succeed at a DC 23 Will save or be
imprisoned within the book, his
description immediately appearing on
one of the blank pages. Once all the
pages are filled, the book no longer
animates when touched and acts as a
simple book of descriptions.
If a page is burned or otherwise
destroyed the creature described on that
page is lost and can only be returned to
life by a miracle or wish spell. Destroying
the entire book affects all the creatures
trapped within. Speaking the command
word and reading a description frees the
creature from its imprisonment.

A clairaudience beetle has a size similar to
many natural beetles. Its carapace is mottled,
except that on close inspection the patterns
reveal themselves as runic markings. If
turned upside down, small clockwork legs
stick out, providing locomotion.
Shy of any

thing
larger than
itself, a
clairaudience
beetle behaves
like a skittish beetle.
When discovered, it attempts to
hide and retreats into especially small
places just large enough for itself. The
owner of a clairaudience beetle has limited
control over its actions: the beetle comes
when called, follows a designated target,
and halts on command. With a command
word the beetle records sound for 1 hour,
beginning when the command to record
is given. At any time after its owner gives
the command to record he can call the
beetle to himself (which ends the
recording process). By speaking another
command word and holding the back of
the beetle to his ear, the owner can listen
to everything the beetle recorded. A third
command word erases the beetle's
memory and allows it to record new
sounds. The beetle must be able to hear
its owner to obey his commands.

A cloud giant harp is wrought of fine
golden wood, inset with brilliant jewels, and
etched with intricate designs. The column of
the harp is crafted to resemble the face of a
regal cloud giantess face. The harp stands
about 4 feet tall and makes for a wonderful
handheld instrument for giants. Smaller folk
are typically surprised that, despite its thick
wood construction, the harp is as light as a
feather. The harp emits beautiful angelic
music when played, and in the case of sentient
versions, the giant effigy even sings in glorious
harmony along with the plucked strings.
You can play a soothing melody on this
harp that puts creatures to sleep. The
harp is of particular use against giants.
When you succeed at a DC 15
Perform (string
instruments) check, you
play a soothing melody
that puts up to 10 HD of
humanoids within 30
feet of you to sleep (as
per deep slumber) unless
they succeed at DC 14
Will saves. You can affect
up to 20 HD of giants with
this harp, but you must
succeed at a DC 20 Perform
(string instruments) check to
do so. If you fail to make a DC
20 check but succeed at a DC 15
check, you may still affect up to
10 HD of creatures. This check
can be made once per day,
whether or not it succeeds.
Lore: Sentient versions of cloud
giant harps exist that are said to be
elegant speakers and singers.

cloud giant creators, these harps consider
giants the greatest of all beings and
superior to those of lesser stature. These
harps still obey most of their masters'
commands but only after voicing their
displeasure and embarrassment at being
"used by such an inferior creature."

The following spells are
recorded in the Codex of Dead
Names: alert bebilith*, banishment,
binding, call dretch horde*, dismissal,
gate, greater planar binding, planar
binding, plane shift, and trap the soul.
Spells marked with an asterisk are
from the BOOK OF VILE DARKNESS. A
wizard can learn these spells in the same
way she can learn spells from another
wizard's spellbook. In addition, a
character who spends 8 hours studying
one of these spells and makesa successful
Spellcraft check (DC = 10 plus the level
of the spell) gains the ability to use that
spell twice per day as a spell-like ability
for as long as she retains possession of
this copy of the Codex. A character can
gain only one of these spell-like abilites,
but may switch spells by following the
proceedure outlined above. If anyone
else claims ownership of the Codex (this
includes anyone who uses the Codex to
learn a spell or spell-like ability), this
spell-like ability is lost.
Lore: Written by Elluvia Maure, this
dense tome contains cramped but
graceful handwritten pages that comprise
a lengthy treatise on the history, physical
descriptions, and cause of death of five
hundred unique demons. Many of these
demons had, in some way, crossed

runes sacred to Malar. Each collar bears a
short iron chain leash.
Attaching a collar of animal control to an
animal requires a full round action and a
successful touch attack, and provokes an

made of a black dragon's carved thighbone.
In addition to the normal staff of power
abilities of the staff, it can also create a
disk of concordant opposition for 2 charges
and automatically absorbs all magic missile

Lore: This staff of power was wielded
by a mighty Oeridian wizard during the

Darvax was an accomplished wizard with
several personalized teleportation spells,
and with the staff he flitted about the
Great Kingdom unearthing troves of
ancient lore and carefully spinning lies
and spells to maintain the balance. He
left on a planar quest in his fortieth year
and was never heard from again,
although rumors of his staff surface every
few decades in strange documents found
in other realms.
It is possible that the item has lost all
of its charges and is just a magical
quarterstaff now, but given Darvax's skill
it is likely he allowed for some way to
recharge it, especially given that he
wielded it for years and wasn't shy about
using it.

these cards to read the future discovers
that the cards have the ability to alter
their appearance when dealt. The first
three cards laid face up before the dealer
offer three different visual clues. Each of
these clues depicts a prominent nearby
landmark such as a mountain, island, or
castle. Should the person who dealt these
cards burn or otherwise destroy the
appropriate card at each landmark, an
extra-dimensional gate opens at the exact
center point between the three. This gate
remains open for 24 hours once it
appears, gradually fading away in the last
hour (at which point the three destroyed
cards reappear in the deck). The gate
leads to the long forgotten meeting hall
of a powerful league of arcane
spellcasters. All other methods of entry
have been lost through the ages. Once
the three landmarks have been set they

entrance to shift to a new location.

In addition, the first five pages of each

appears upon the parchment. Although
this image does not move while being
directly scrutinized, it changes whenever
the tome is closed or unattended.
Creatures trapped within the

surroundings but cannot directly interact
with them. However, the creature with
the highest HD bound within a
Demonomicon may, once per day, use the
spell dream on any creature who has
touched the tome within the last 24

contacted and conversed with through
the use of spells like detect thoughts or

A crystal orb roughly 6 to 8 inches in
diameter.
A detoxification orb works when it is
placed against the skin of a poisoned
creature and tapped twice. In a flash of
light the orb draws out any poisons in the
creature's system, filling the otherwise
clear sphere with a green mist. This effect
duplicates the neutralize poison spell,
except its duration is instantaneous and
thus does not provide any further
protection. After 1 round the mist
dissipates within the orb. A detoxification
orb crumbles to dust after 10 uses.
As a standard action, the user of the
detoxification orb can make a Craft
(poisonmaking) check to identify a
poison drawn out with it (the DC equals
the poison's Fortitude save DC).
Lore: While not nearly as dangerous or
feared on the battlefield as in the
intrigue-ridden halls of court, poison can
nonetheless bring down even the
heartiest warrior. Since the creation of
detoxification orbs, royals, nobles, and
wealthy merchants alike have sought to
acquire them en masse.

This coffin-shaped box measures nearly
three feet in length. Expertly crafted of rare

whith a black iron clasp. Engraved on the side
is a short Draconic rhyme:
“Devil box, devil box,
Trusting strong loks;
Take him in, long to keep.
Tiny, small, asleep.”
Activating the devil box is a full-round
action that provokes an attack of
opportunity. The box found in the
adventure “Devil Box” can be activated
only by a kobold descendant of the
original creator of the box, but if new
devil boxes are created this restriction
need not be duplicated. A successful Use
Magic Device check (DC 30) allows a
character to emulate this quality.
Activation of the box requires the user to
make a successful Perform (song) check
(DC 12). When activated, up to 20 Hit
Dice of devils within a 20-ft.-radius
spread are pulled telekinetically into the
box. If the devil has 8 or more Hit Dice, a
successful Will save (DC 18) allows it to
resist being drawn into the box. Devils
with fewer than 8 Hit Dice get no saving
throw, but they do gain spell resistance to
avoid the effect. The box reduces the size
of Small-sized or larger devils to Tiny size
if necessary to make them all fit; the box
can contain up to one Medium devil, two
Small devils, or four Tiny devils. A
reduced devil’s statistics change alone the
guidelines indicated on page 291 of the
MONSTER MANUAL.
One round after the box is used, the lid
closes and magically seals. Devils inside
the box remain conscious, but cannot
take any actions. If the box is opened at a
later time, any devils inside are
immediately freed, but any devils that
were reduced in size remain reduced for
seven days, at which point they return to
normal size.
A devil that is imprisioned in a devil box
and later escapes and remains free for
seven days is thereafter immune to the
effects of that particular devil box.
A newly created devil box has 9 charges.
The one found in the adventure “Devil
Box” has only 5 charges remaining.

This sticky substance is primarily
composed of finely crushed rocks,
volcanic ashes, fungi, and the blood and
oils from various creatures.
When applied, devil's paste provides
resistance to fire 20 and a +4 resistance

Typically, the substance is kept in
wineskins treated with oil that allow
quick extraction of the paste. A

enough to cover four Small or two
Medium creatures.
Lore: Wizards from the Order of the

substance. Especially designed to help
gnome warriors combat creatures made
of or living in fire, wizards of the Order
of the Deep continue to make devil's paste

The Dread Forge is a large metal anvil
with small and large horns. Its entire surface
is inscribed with evil-looking runes, demonic
symbols, and tentacle-like coils (though in
places where the forge would contact worked
metal these are no deeper than a faint
etching). It always feels warm to the touch,
and on command heats itself to the proper
temperature to work bronze, iron, steel, silver,
or gold.
Any lawful or good creature that
touches or carries the Dread Forge gains
one negative level (two negative levels if
lawful good) as long as it continues to
touch or carry it; like the negative level
from an anarchic or unholy weapon, this
negative level never results in actual level prerequisite for creating armor with an
loss but cannot be overcome in any way
while the creature is in contact with the
Dread Forge.
Any spellcaster may use the Dread Forge
to craft certain kinds of magic armor,
weapons, and other metal items. The
Dread Forge provides the proper item
creation feat; the spellcaster provides
everything else (gp, XP, other
prerequisites, and time). The Dread Forge
is treated as a focus component in the
item-crafting
process and the
spellcaster must
manipulate the
item on the Dread
Forge at some point every
day of the crafting
(experiencing any
negative levels for this
contact, as appropriate).
If a living humanoid
creature is sacrificed to
Demogorgon on the Dread
Forge, the artifact absorbs
some of the creature's The Dread Forge
95
essence, equal to 100 XP per HD; it can
store up to 1,000 XP at a time. A
spellcaster can spend this stored XP
instead of his own XP when crafting
magic items with the Dread Forge (in
other words, using the energy of sacrifice
to power the item's XP prerequisite). At
midnight each night, the Dread Forge
consumes 100 XP from its store of
essence, so a fresh supply or sacrifices is
needed to maintain the artifact's optimal
essence level. Sacrificing a creature on
the Dread Forge is an evil act.
The Dread Forge can add the following
magic properties to items.
• Armor abilities: enhancement
bonuses (up to +5), fire resistance
(normal and improved), fortification
(light, moderate, and heavy),
invulnerability.
• Weapon abilities: enhancement
bonuses (up to +5), anarchic, bane
(human-bane only), flaming, flaming
burst, unholy.
• Rings: energy resistance (fire only;
minor, major, or greater), protection
(up to +5).
• Wondrous Items: bracers of armor (up
to +8), ring gates.
Note that the acting spellcaster's caster
level is still a limitation for some of these
effects; for example, a 1st-level sorcerer
cannot craft any sort of magic armor
because he doesn't meet the caster level
enhancement bonus (3 x the intended
enhancement bonus). A creature cannot
use the artifact to craft an item if he
doesn't meet the items prerequisites.
All magic items created with the Dread
Forge are automatically imbued with the
demontainted property. A demontainted
item is an evil magic item (for purposes
of detect magic and other effects that react
to evil objects, spells, or creatures) and
bestows a negative level to a lawful or
good bearer or wearer (2 negative levels
to a lawful good creature) in
the same manner as the
Dread Forge itself does.
Once per day, on
command, the Dread Forge
can cast awaken on an
animal, using stored XP to
fuel the spell's XP cost.
Unlike the spell, the
awakened animal is always
chaotic evil.
All of the command
words needed to
Drowned Man Stout

dialect of Abyssal that sounds archaic but
is completely understandable to a

Lore: The Dread Forge is an evil
artifact created by Demogorgon
thousands of years ago, used by his
demonic agents to transform dinosaur-
like creatures into thinking reptilian
humanoids. These first beings were the
priests and masters of the primitive
reptilian humanoids of an ancient age,
and the artifact gave them the tools to
cement themselves in that position of
power until their culture degenerated
and the mammals ascended.

Any individual who imbibes a flagon of

Dice of the individual drowned in the
beer (minimum of 1 hit point up to a
maximum of 10). These temporary hit
points last for 3 hours or until lost.
Drinking more than one flagon of
drowned man stout during one 3 hour
period has no effect.
Lore: Enjoyed by orcs and other evil
humanoids, this dark full-bodied ale was
discovered almost purely by accident by
the orc chieftain Shamash "the Gullet." A
 Complete Dragon & Dungeon Magazine 3.5 Magic Items – Tools
mighty warlord, Shamash combined his
fondness for wanton violence and strong
drink to invent a particularly gruesome
method of executing captured enemies.
Each prisoner was placed inside a large
wooden barrel into which Shamash's
followers poured his favorite ale. The
barrels where then sealed up and
watched carefully until the struggles of
the unfortunate victims subsided.
Shamash and his minions found the
resulting beer acquired a heady quality
and distinct flavorful finish that it has
not possessed before. The orcs of
Shamash's horde also claimed that the
brew increased their resilience to damage
and would often down a flagon or two
before entering combat. Although
Shamash was eventually slain by an
intrepid band of adventurers his legacy
lives on in the form of his favorite
beverage.

DRUM OF THE SHADOW
HOUND
Price (Item Level): 166,000 gp (24th)

Caster Level: 9th
Aura: Moderate; (DC 19) conjuration

Rogues, and Bards)
The body of a drum of the shadow hound is
usually dark brown or black, with occasional
hints of burgundy or dark orange. The vocal
cords tightening the skin are usually deep
purple in color and cover a good portion of the
side of the cylindrical drum. The instrument's
skin is always pitch black with flecks of deep
purple, like a shadow mastiff's pelt.
To activate the power of a drum of the
shadow hound, a character simply has to
play it, using a standard action to do so.
Regardless of how many taps on the
drum are required to activate an ability, a
user can only use one ability per round.
By tapping the appropriate number of
times upon it, a drum of the shadow hound
confers the following powers.
• One Tap - Deeper Darkness: This
ability functions as the spell of the
same name, with the area of effect
centered upon the drum. The
drummer can end this effect at any
time by tapping once more upon
the drum. This power is usable up
to three times per day.
• Two Taps - Shadow Blend: In
any conditions other than full
daylight (or the daylight spell), the
shadow blending power grants the
Drum of the Shadow Hound
drum's user the effect of the greater
invisibility spell. Such bright
conditions reveal the drummer,
although the effect does not end,
and the drummer can become
invisible again simply by moving
out of the lighted area. The
drummer may choose to cancel
this power at any time before it
expires by tapping twice more
upon the drum's skin. The shadow
blending ability may be activated
twice each day.
• Three Taps - Summon Shadow
Mastiff: This ability, useable once
per day, functions as an extended
summon monster V spell cast by an
11th level sorcerer, except it only
summons a shadow mastiff.
• Four Taps - Fearful Baying:
Tapping four times upon the skin
activates the drum of the shadow
hound's greatest power, useable
twice per day. The instrument
imitates the terrible baying sound
of a shadow mastiff, creating an
effect that functions as the fear
spell, except that all evil outsiders
and the drum's owner are immune
to the effect. This is a sonic, mind
affecting, fear effect.
Lore: Traditionally, drums of the shadow
hound were carved from the trunk of
palm and acajou trees found in the lands
of the original creation. More recently,
artisans fashioning these magic items
have used the wood from oaks, olive
trees, and thick maples. The two other
elements required for the construction of
a drum of the shadow hound, however,
have not changed. Like the artisans of
old, modern craftsmen still use the
treated skin of a shadow mastiff as the
head of the drum, as no other pelt will
do. The drum's most important element,
however, is the long strands of woven
shadow mastiff vocal cords used to
tighten the skin upon the drum. These
treated strands require a special
alchemical solution to create. Once
treated, the item's creator must slowly
stretch them for at least one month
before he can use them for this purpose.

dose.
 Complete Dragon & Dungeon Magazine 3.5 Magic Items – Tools
This elixir infuses you
with the raw power of the
Elemental Planes,
changing your body.
A dose of elemental elixir
transforms you into an
elemental of your size and
of the kind the elixir is
keyed to. The
transformation lasts for
30 minutes, although you
can dismiss the
transformation as a Elemental
standard action before the Elixir
duration expires.
For example, a halfing drinking an air
elemental elixir transforms into a Small air
elemental, while an ogre drinking a fire
elemental elixir becomes a Large fire
elemental. For the duration of the
transformation, your type becomes
elemental and your subtype changes to
match your new form. You gain the
Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution
scores of the new elemental form but
retain your own Intelligence, Wisdom,
and Charisma scores. You also gain all
extraordinary and supernatural special
attacks and qualities possessed by the
new elemental form. Neither changing
into the new elemental form nor
returning to your natural form results in
the healing of any hit point damage. If
slain, you revert to your original form,
although you remain dead.

The elixir of aranea ichor is a medicinal
elixir for araneas unable to effect their
transformation due to sickness or age. If
used by a non-aranea, the elixir functions
as alter self with the following exceptions:
it’s imbiber adopts the appearance, size,
voice, speech-pattern, mannerisms,
personality, and smell of the first
creature of his type he sees after drinking
the elixir. It does not give the drinker the
original subject’s memories, knowledge,
98
or skills. The drinker must succeed
on a DC 16 Will save to remember
his past identity and to overcome
any personality issues. If the
check fails, the drinker remains
totally convinced he is the other
person until the elixir wears off.
The transformation is temporary
for non-araneas, and lasts for 48
hours minus 2 hours per point of
Intelligence of the imbiber
(minimum 2 hours).
Lore: Haldemar and his crew
discovered these spiderlike araneas
during one their adventures. Araneas
from the Kingdom of Herath developed a
magical ability that allows them to blend
in with the non-aranean populations
living nearby. They do not simply change
shape: Herathians, from their youngest
age, adopt a single and specific
alternative identity and shape. The
change is so profound that they
effectively “become someone else” and
are barely able to remember their
original selves.

roams within its confines, stopping at
times to look upon the sleeper if he is

eye initiates dreams and visions in the

Housed in a black crystal bottle with a long
fluted neck, this elixir is created from the
corrupted blood of a celestial.
Most commonly found among mortals
allied with fiends or who otherwise
embrace the powers of the lower Planes,
the power of the fiendish elixir activates
upon consuming the enchanted blood.
A character imbibing the fiendish elixir
gains a +5 circumstance bonus on
Fortitude saving throws against poison,
acid and cold resistance 5, a +2 natural

bonus to Strength. In addition, the
drinker gains damage reduction
dependant upon his alignment:
• Lawful : gains DR 5/silver
• Chaotic: gains DR 5/cold iron
• Neutral: gains DR 5/magic.
All of the elixir's effects last for 1 hour.
While under the effect of fiendish elixir,
the drinker gains the extraplanar and evil
subtypes, with all their benefits and
penalties, regardless of the drinker's
actual type or alignment.

A figurine of delivery looks like a small,
poorly carved but brightly painted statue of a
humanoid wearing a backpack. The figure
usually appears weather-beaten and worn,
with chipped and sun-faded paint. Most of
these figurines have humanlike shapes,
although some are created to look like gnomes
or dwarves instead.
 Complete Dragon & Dungeon Magazine 3.5 Magic Items – Tools
By placing the figurine of delivery on an
object and speaking the command word
the user teleports any object smaller than
39 cubic feet and less than 650 pounds as
with the teleport object spell. Rather than
teleporting the object to a known
location, the user of a figurine of delivery
names a specific creature and the figurine
teleports itself and the object under it to
a space adjacent to the named creature. If
no empty adjacent space exists, the
figurine of delivery (and its object) arrives
in the closest empty space. The named
creature must be on the same plane as the
figurine or else the teleport fails and the
figurine cannot be used again for 24
hours. The user of the figurine need not
know the named creature's current
location. The figurine of delivery always
teleports to a named creature as if very
familiar with the named creature's
location (see page 293 of the PLAYER'S
HANDBOOK). The user doesn't learn
the named creature's location. A figurine
of delivery can only be used once per day.
Lore: A creation of the clerics of
Boccob, figurines of delivery help revitalize
trade, alter warfare, and make diplomacy
just a little easier wherever they appear.
These items allow wealthy merchants to
transport valuable cargo without the
risks of caravans or ships, generals to
provision their armies without fear of
their enemies' predations, and diplomats
to sign treaties in days rather than weeks.

however, the penalties are removed, and
he gains a permanent +2 sacred bonus to

Lore: Once Fraz-Urb'luu's coveted sign
of power, this potent and notorious staff
allowed the demon lord to bend
incredibly huge armies of demons and
other creature to his will. He used the
staff to command the allegiance of many
powerful and unique demons, and no
small number of champions of good
found themselves enslaved by its might.
The demon lord's enemies tried many
times to capture or destroy the staff, but
until Fraz-Urb'luu was imprisoned under
Castle Greyhawk none of these attempts
met with success.
Today, even though Fraz-Urb'luu
himself is once again free, his staff
remains missing. Some rumors hold that
Fraz-Urb'luu's staff was destroyed by an
alliance of demon lords, while others
maintain that the staff is hidden in a
vault on the Material Plane, said at times
to be located in a dwarven citadel, below
a great city's sewers, or in a remote
wizard's mountain keep. In a way, all of
these are correct, since the staff was
sundered and the parts scattered to
ensure that Fraz-Urb'luu could never
reclaim the weapon. Unfortunately, the
parts retain their magic, and if brought
together on Fraz-Urb'luu's abyssal lair
they'll instantly reform into the mighty
artifact.

A gem of location appears like an ordinary
emerald, peridot, or other green gem partially
encased in a small, rough nugget of silver.
First created by an ancient elven
nation, gems of location have long served
the elves and only recently did the secret
of their existence reach other races. Each
gem of location is dedicated to a specific
geographical area, from a single forest or
village to an entire city.
Upon
command, a gem
of location projects
a 3-foot square
illusionary map of
the area
programmed into
it. This initial map
shows a 1-square
mile area.
Additional
command words
can direct the gem Gem of Location
106
to show the map at larger scales (up to
the maximum size of the map contained)
and move the center of the illusion to
show other areas within the map. A gem
can hold enough information necessary
to show an area no greater than 100
square miles (an area equal to 10 miles on
a side). A gem of location shows all
permanent structures and natural
formations present within the location it
maps at the time of its creation. The gem
does not mark the passage of time, so a
found gem's information might be out of
date if discovered years after its creation.
Accessing a gem of location's
information requires a full-round action,
but it provides a +5 circumstance bonus
on all Knowledge (geography) and
Knowledge (local) checks made while
consulting the map. To gain these
bonuses, these skill checks must pertain
to information present on the map.

The malevolent Heart of Mephistopheles is
an artifact of terrible power and intellect. It
appears as a large multifaceted ruby, roughly
a foot wide, that glows with a hellish red light
(shedding light as a torch).
The heart is intelligent (Int 19, Wis 10,
Cha 19, Ego 31) and lawful evil. It can
communicate through telepathy and
speech (it speaks Common, Infernal,
Draconic, Giant, and Dwarven), though it
prefers the subtle influences of telepathy
to traditional speech. The ruby is
supernaturally resilient to attacks (AC 4,
hardness 50. hp 100).
The Heart of Mephistopheles was created
with the purpose of spreading the
influence and power of its archdevil
creator, and to this end it was imbued
with several powerful abilities. Once per
day, the heart can use a silenced dominate
monster as a spell-like ability (Will save
DC 29). Up to three times per day the
heart can produce a corrupted firebolt
(10d6 fire, save DC 23, half divine dam-
age, otherwise as lightning bolt) and gust of
wind. The Heart of Mephistopheles has Bluff
+14, Diplomacy +14, and Knowledge (the
planes) +14.
In addition to its conventional powers,
the ruby Heart radiates an extra-planar
aura that only affects creatures from the
Nine Hells of Baator. Any such creature
within 1 mile of the Heart of
Mephistopheles is considered to be on its
home plane. Devils and other extra-
planar creatures are immune to such
spells as dismissal as long as they
are within this area.
To destroy this artifact, a cleric
of a good-aligned god must cast
raise dead, resurrection, or true
resurrection (or an equivalent spell)
upon the heart. After-wards, a
crack appears in the ruby, and it
is subject to physical
damage (its hardness

The Heart of the Scorpion
Source: Dungeon 124 (Temple of the
Scorpion God)
Once per day, if a character touches
one of the runes corresponding to an
outer plane and speaks the phrase “a wall
around the world” in archaic Giant (this
is a standard action), the heart of the
scorpion creates a dimensional lock effect
keyed to that specific plane. This effect
prevents planar travel to and from that
plane as the dimensional lock spell within
a 20-foot radius for 24-hours. It also
automatically dispels any gateway or
portal to that plane that is currently
active within its area of effect. Note that
the only symbols for the thirteen outer
planes are present upon the gem, so
travel to the Astral Plane, the Ethereal
Plane, and the Plane of Shadow cannot be
stopped by this artifact. Whenever a
plane is coterminous with the Material
Plane, the symbol for that
plane glows faintly.
Lore: This minor artifact
was created by the ancient
giants of Xen’drik out of a

giants were searching for
a way to prevent the
outsiders from opening new

This staff is crafted from a stone giant's
femur, with the ball joint's rounded, polished
protrusions gleaming on the top end of the
staff and the bottom sharpened to a point. A
fetish necklace of giant's teeth hangs from a
hole carved through the top. The deep gray
length of the staff is etched with mystical
runes, each painted blood red.
This staff harnesses necromantic
power, the effects of which are much
more potent against giants.
When activated, Hel’s death staff emits a
stench of decay and absorbs the light
around the staffs head, creating an empty
black sphere of shadowy illumination
that darkens about as much as a candle
brightens. This has no game effect.
A Hel’s death staff allows use of the
following spells:
• Blindness/deafness (1 charge)
• Ray of enfeeblement (1 charge)
• Animate dead (2 charges)
• Finger of death 3 charges)
When cast on a giant, the DCs of these
spells increase by +2. Additionally, you
can animate up to three times your caster
level (instead of twice your caster level)
of HD of undead with a single casting of
animate dead. All of the undead you
animate in this way must be from the
bodies of giants. Likewise, you can
control up to 6 HD of undead per
caster level (instead of 4 HD per caster
level) as long as you possess Hel`s
death staff and at least one of the
undead creatures you control is a
giant.
Finally, when you slay a giant with
a finger of death spell cast from the
staff, you can opt to immediately (as a
swift action) animate the giant's body
with animate dead. This use requires the
expenditure of only a single charge from
the staff for casting animate dead (instead
of the normal 2 charges).

the transformation is complete, the new

contained within are magically
teleported to a specific location. About
the size of a large coin purse, homing bags
are used by spies to send messages and
important items back to their employers.
Alternatively, a homing bag might be
created in order to transport an item into
a well-guarded location. The destination
must be within ten miles of the homing

HORN OF FOOTSTEPS

This beautiful horn has been carved from
the gleaming ivory tusk of some great beast.
Sounding this brass-bound war horn emits a
mournful howl that echoes across the
landscape.
Audible for miles, and possibly
attracting the curious or perhaps simply
the hungry, the horn also creates the
0utline of strange green glowing
footprints with each note. Clearly visible
to anyone nearby, these footprints
stretch off into the distance at about
the pace of a running man, winding
their way around natural obstacles,
skipping across river stones, always
providing the most direct overland
route to their destination. Since
they fade away after about a quarter
of an hour the owner of the horn
must use it regularly in order to
continue to follow the footprints.
The footprints set a rugged pace,
demanding hardiness and vigor from
those following them, and they seem
to resent guiding those unable to keep up
under their own power. If the owner of
the horn attempts to take any sort of
shortcut, whether riding a horse, casting
a fly spell or something similar, they fade
more and more rapidly. An owner who
does not repent and return to following
the trail on foot eventually must blow the
horn each round to summon the
footprints. This exertion puts the owner
at risk of becoming exhausted, requiring
a DC 15 Fortitude save each round in
order to continue. If followed, these
footsteps eventually lead to the entrance
of a hidden dungeon created by a wizard/
ranger who despaired of finding a worthy
heir in his own lifetime.

HORN OF RECORDING

Caster Level: 3rd
Aura: Faint; (DC 16) illusion
Activation: Standard (manipulation)
Weight: 1 lb.
Source: Dragon 327 (Bazaar of the
Bizarre: Modern Magic)
Shaped like a miniature hollow cornucopia
and made entirely of bronze with multiple
lesser gemstones around its rim, a horn of
recording attracts little attention with its
looks alone.
The tip of the horn rotates stiffly, with
a small tab locking it into several
positions, from pointing directly toward
the wide mouth of the horn to exactly
perpendicular to the mouth, and finally
to pointing directly away from the
mouth. Positioning the point so it faces
the mouth of the horn activates its
recording ability. A horn can record up to
a maximum of 2 hours of sound.
Horn of
Recording
 Complete Dragon & Dungeon Magazine 3.5 Magic Items – Tools
Positioning the point so that it faces away
from the mouth of the horn activates its
play ability. When playing, the horn
continuously loops through any sound
recorded in it. Positioning the point at
any other location deactivates the horn.
Once filled with 2 hours of sound, the
horn can no longer record anything new,
and thereafter can only play what it has
already recorded.
A horn of recording cannot duplicate the
verbal component of spells, spell triggers,
command words, bardic music, or any
other magical effect.
Lore: Few magic items have created as
much political upheaval as the
surprisingly simple horn of recording.
Created by a resourceful tavern owner
and ex-adventurer, a horn of recording is a
working bard's worst nightmare. Initially
seen as a novelty, horns of recording saw
widespread use as many bards and
entertainers eagerly recorded their
performances. However, numerous
unscrupulous merchants recorded bards
and entertainers without their
knowledge or permission. Many bards
only discovered the deception upon
hearing their performances hundreds of
miles away from home. Since that
discovery, most bards forbid the use of
these items and refuse to perform in
establishments that employ them.

Aura: Strong; (DC 23) conjuration

Weight: 5 Ibs.
Source: Dragon 317 (Mages High Notes:
9 Magical Instruments)
The masterwork horn is a platinum
trumpet with an inscription on the outside
that depicts the arrangement of the planes.
The music of the horn of the planes
resonates with the planes of the
muiliverse. A performer with the horn of
the planes and the correct melody can
open a portal to another plane.
Once per day, a performer playing the
horn can attempt to use it to open a gate
(as per the spell). The bard must know
the proper melody to play for a particular
plane. Learning the proper melody
requires that the performer have 5 ranks
in Perform and successfully make a DC
112
30 Knowledge (the planes) or bardic
knowledge check.
Any player may open a gate to a random
plane as a standard action with a
successful DC 25 Perform check. If the
performer knows the tune for a specific
plane, she can open a gate on that plane
at a random location (on the plane) as a
standard action with a successful DC 25
Perform check and to a specific location
as a standard action with a successful DC
30 Perform check. Because there is a
consequence of failure (getting a result of
25 or greater but less than 30 on the
Perform check), a character cannot take
20 on the Perform check to play a horn of
the planes.
If a performer plays the horn without
attempting to open a gate, there is a
cumulative 1% chance for each
continuous round of playing that the
horn will open a gate to a random plane,
as long as the horn has not already been
used to open a gate.
The horn of the planes can open a gate
only once per day.

Enemies of my Enemy)
The Iron Flask of Tuerny the Merciless
functions as a normal iron flask, except
that it can only capture and command
demons. A targeted demon can resist
being captured by making a DC 26 Will
save. It can hold up to 100 demons at a
time, but currently contains only seven;
three vrocks, a nalfeshnee, two mariliths,
and a balor. The wielder can command
one of the demons within to come forth
to serve him for 1 hour per day; he may
command demons within the flask in
this manner no more than 3 times per
day. If the flask is opened
without commanding one of the
demons, 1d6 of them escapes
each round to assault and savage
the flask’s holder, squabbling over
its control.
The flask can be used to contain
a single aspect of a demon lord,
although to do so, it must first be
emptied–a single demon lord
aspect (regardless of that aspect’s
actual power) counts as all 100
demons the flask could normally
store. The flask is particularly
potent at capturing aspects–this
was its original intent, after all.
An aspect suffers a -10 penalty on
the Will save to avoid being
113
entrapped by the flask.
Lore: This artifact
was crafted ages ago by
the wizard-tyrant
Tuerny, who promptly
used the flask to capture an
aspect of Graz’zt and
forced him to ravage the
armies and holdings of
Tuerny’s enemies. During
one battle, the aspect
turned the tables and The Iron Flask of
captured Tuerny in the Tuerny the Merciless
flask. After returning to
the Abyss, he transformed Tuerny into a
dretch as a slave. In time, Tuerny gained
power by successfully leading the
demonic forces in the Blood War, and
became a nalfeshnee demon.
Miraculously, Tuerny maintained his
personality and wizardly skills
throughout this evolution, but during the Body Slot: ––

artifact became the blueprint for
countless lesser versions, but the original
remains the most potent of them all.

KNOWSTONES
A knowstone provides its bearer with
knowledge of the inscribed spell,
which he can then use his spell slots to
cast normally (as if the inscribed spell
were among his known spells). The
knowstone's bearer need not make any
conscious decision to use the knowstone
apart from deciding to cast the
inscribed spell. (This is considered part
of the spellcasting action.) Any
spontaneous caster can use a knowstone,
provided that the spell it includes is on
his spell list and he can cast spells of its
level. For example, a bard may cast
crushing despair from a knowstone of
crushing despair if he can cast 3rd-level
spells, whereas a sorcerer must be able
to cast 4th-level spells to employ a
knowstone of that spell.
A knowstone always appears in a piece
of jewelry but does not occupy a magic
item slot. It takes 24 hours for a
knowstone to attune to a new bearer,
after which time the knowstone grants
its inscribed spell.
You can create a knowstone for any
spell you know. Crafting a knowstone
takes one day for each 1,000 gp in its
base price (500 gp total price for a 0-
level spell). The base price of a
knowstone is the spell level squared x
1,000 gp + expensive material
components or focus (if any). To craft a
knowstone, you must spend 1/25 of this
base price in XP and use up raw
materials costing one-half of this base
price. Creating a knowstone requires the

object and later identified it as a "staff of
affliction" which he surmised was related
to the vile cult of Incabulos. His study
allowed him to reverse its effects, despite
objections from Nolzur, who thought it
could make a formidable weapon against
the forces of a nascent demigod in the

LANTERN OF GUIDANCE
Price (Item Level): 10,000 gp (12th)
Body Slot: –– (held)
Caster Level: 12th
Aura: Strong; (DC 21) divination
Activation: ––
Weight: Unknown
Source: Dungeon 107 (Test of the
Smoking Eye)
A miniature bullseye lantern chained to a
4-foot length of darkwood.
A lantern of guidance never goes out
except within areas of magical darkness–
neither the strongest wind nor full
immersion in water can douse its silvery
flame. But its true power lies in its abilty
to unerringly guide the lantern-bearer
toward one of three specific locations.
This functions as a find the path spell; the
lantern's light always shines in the correct
direction of travel, and the lantern-bearer
has an instinctive sense of any physical
actions to take such as avoiding trip wires
or speaking passwords to avoid magic
glyphs. Up to three locations can be
programmed into a lantern of guidance
when it is created. If the lantern-bearer
brings the lantern to the first location, it
immediately switches to the second
location and leads the bearer in that
direction. Likewise, when the lantern-
bearer reaches the second location, the
lantern immediately switches to the third
location. Once the third location is
reached, the lantern loses its guidance
ability forever.
It's not immediately apparent from
looking at the lantern, but because it's a
fairly small lantern connected to a sturdy
handle by a short length of chain, it's an
effective heavy mace. The lantern's
creators knew that its light would often
take the lantern-bearer into harm's way,
so they enhanced the item to function as
a +2 heavy flail. This property remains
even after the lantern of guidance has
successfully guided a bearer to all three
of its preset locations.
Prerequisites: Craft Magic Arms and
Armor, find the path.

This fountain can take any form, although
typically it is a simple stone basin with a 2-

When a lich's phylactery is placed
anywhere within the basin, negative
energy infuses the water. Any undead
that drinks from the basin is cured of
2d8+5 points of damage. Any single
undead may so benefit only once per day
by drinking from the font. A cleric with
the ability to rebuke undead who drinks
from this font gains a +4 bonus on his

after drinking. A living creature that
drinks the water takes 2d8+5 points of
damage from the negative energy. A

damage.
Liches who wish to use their spouts as
traps often blanket the fountain with

so that the spout detects as good and some
even sculpt holy symbols of good deities
into the basin. Naturally, a Lich goes to

as long as a host creature is bound to a
loreworm, the pupils of its eyes change and
write through a variety or rune-like

A loreworm imparts knowledge
of a single subject to its host.
Like other Kyuss worms, a
loreworm must be inside a hose
creature in order to be used.
Once a hose creature has
successfully taken the worm
into its body, it gains the skill
bonus until the worm is
destroyed or removed.
A loreworm stores knowledge on one
subject and provides a skill bonus on one
Knowledge skill, as well as allowing its
host to make skill checks with the
affected Knowledge skill even if
untrained. It comes in three degrees of
power, imparting either a +2, a +5, or a
+10 competence bonus on one
Knowledge skill. Upon gaining this
bonus the loreworm is destroyed.

Legends say that any creature wearing
this coin never dies-a partial truth as
much a curse as a blessing. If the wearer

animates him 24 hours later as a zombie.
If the wearer is destroyed as a zombie, or

Mage's brew has none of the detrimental
effects of mundane alcohol. Any
individual drinking a glass of mage's brew
gains a +2 enhancement bonus on all
Concentration and Knowledge checks for
1 hour. Drinking more than one glass
extends this duration, but has no further

Lore: This thick nutty liqueur was
developed by a gnome enchanter who
wished to create an alcoholic beverage he
could sip while perusing spellbooks that
would give him the feeling of slight
inebriation without interfering with his
concentration or spellcasting. Several
years of experimentation with arcane
brewing techniques and magically
cultured yeast produced a cocktail that
did not interfere with the drinker's
concentration, instead enhancing it for a
brief period. The recipe for mage's brew
has spread throughout the scholarly
community and has become so popular in
some areas that wizarding schools curtail
its distribution to keep ambitious
apprentices from abusing its attention-
focusing qualities.

MALF ULAD'S DIVINING

Price (Item Level): Priceless
Body Slot: ––
Caster Level: Unknown
Aura: Unknown
Activation: –– and Standard
(manipulation)
Weight: Unknown
Source: Dragon 350 (Core Beliefs: Wee
Jas)
Built of lacquered cedar wood, the board
consists of two hinged pieces covering an
area 2 feet on a side when fully opened.
Nearly half an inch thick, the board is
inlaid on the edges with runes of gold
and silver, and the top is covered in
dozens of runes, arcane symbols, and
letters in various alphabets, either carved or
inlaid with ivory.
To activate the board, the user places a
large gem upon its surface and holds it
with the tips of his fingers (rumors have
it that ioun stones are likely to give better
results, with certain ioun stones being
more suitable for certain kinds of
questions). The user calls out to the board
in a clear voice, asking a question about
the past, present, or future. The board
steers the gem toward various symbols
and letters, spelling out its answers.
Because of the age of the divining board,
it is likely that it only responds to
requests spoken in the dead Suloise
language (although it may be able to
 Complete Dragon & Dungeon Magazine 3.5 Magic Items – Tools
understand parts of the Cold Tongue
spoken by Suel-descended barbarians and
the dialect of Suel spoken by the humans
of the Lendore Isles).
The board's effects equal those of an
augury spell, which may be used once per
day. Once per week, it may be used to
perform a divination, and with a sacrifice
of at least 500 gp worth of rubies it can be
used to cast commune. All information
revealed by the divining board comes
from Wee Jas or her supernatural agents
and is at least 90% accurate. If a gem is
left on the board when it is not being
used, it sometimes rattles to warn its
owner of danger approaching within the
hour. Its bearer gains a +5 luck bonus on
all saving throws.
Lore: Whether the Suel mage-priest
Malf Ulad created or discovered this
device is unknown, but his many years of
unearthing prophecy and dodging
disasters proved the item has significant
power.
Malf Ulad's fate is unknown. He might
have perished in the Rain of Colorless
Fire or survived by becoming a Suel lich
(see DRAGON #339). In either case, the
divining board is likely buried
somewhere in a ruin deep in the Sea of
Dust.

Way)
Monks have a better chance to benefit
from the book than most and may add
their monk level to any Wisdom checks
made to comprehends the Manual's
contents.
The manual is divided into three
sections. Comprehending a section
requires a successful Wisdom check (DC
20). Failure indicates the reader can
never learn the secrets of that section,
while success means the reader gains a
permanenet benefit of some sort.
Reading a section takes 24 hours over a
minimum of three days. A reader may
only ever benefit from a section once.
Section 1 - Philosophy of the
Winding Way: The first section covers
118
Marik's philosophical theories on the
universe and how to exist within it.
Successfully studying this section grants
a permanent +1 bonus to the reader's
Wisdom score.
Section 2 - Physicality of the
Winding Way: The second section is a
treatise on movement in the Winding
Way. A character who successfully
studies this section gains Dodge as a
bonus feat (even if he doesn't normally
qualify for this feat). If the reader already
has Dodge, he instead gains Mobility as a
bonus feat. If he has both Dodge and
Mobility, he gains Spring Attack as a
bonus feat. If the reader has all three
feats at the time of reading, he instead
gains a permanent +2 bonus to his
Dexterity score.
Section 3 - Spirituality of the
Winding Way: The final section details
numerous spiritual and mental drills that
attune the practitioner to the minute
vibrations of air and energy (ki) emitted
by all things. A character who
successfully studies this section gains the
blindsight ability to a range of 30 feet.
Blindsight is detailed on page 290 of the
DUNGEON MASTER'S GUIDE.
Lore: Marik's crowning achievement is
the Manual of the Winding Way. It was
written by him over the course of three
days of frenzied focus after perfecting his
fighting style. His students believe that
his hand was guided by a higher spirit.
However the tome was created, its
contents are potent and powerful.

Meersalm gives the recipient damage
reduction 10/adamantine, and if a

the weapon might break (the weapon
must make a Fortitude saving throw or
take 3d6 points of damage). This
protection lasts for 1 year so long as the
character upholds the tenets of
Heironeous. Those who lose this
protection are ostracized by the church.
Lore: Although not a rare or single
item, meersalm is a magical substance
unique to the church of Heironeous–a
portion of the same coppery liquid the
Invincible's mother, Stern Alia,
embalmed him in to make him
invulnerable to weapons. Any creature
that receives this treatment (a carefully
protected secret of the church) gains
similar protection.
Every temple has a tiny amount of this
wondrous material used for certain
ceremonies but kept within its container.
A member of the church who wishes to
be embalmed with it must prove his
worthiness and pay for it to be
manufactured in sufficient quantity for
the ritual.

the lens looks more like a
clear gemstone recently cut but unpolished.
When a character places an unused
crystal to his eye and winks, the image
seen through the crystal freezes for

and it never reveals hidden, incorporeal,
or invisible creatures or objects.
The image caught on a memory crystal is
permanent although the spell permanent
image can be cast into a memory crystal to
alter an image or create a wholly new
representation.
Any attempt to remove a picture from a
memory crystal, such as with the spells
miracle, Mordenkainen's disjunction, or wish
destroys the crystal.

For the purposes of a spell such as
teleport, a caster who examines a memory
crystal's image of a location for 10 minutes
can consider it studied carefully. A
location studied through a memory crystal
also counts as being familiar for purposes
of the clairaudience/clairvoyance spell.
Lore: A psion, Draven al'Akmira,
created memory crystals at the request of a
local constabulary. Vicious waves of
vampire attacks had plagued the town,
but the local baron refused to send
guardsmen to provide security and
resolve the incursion. When the baron
looked into a crystal his constables
presented him as proof of their need, he
stared at the image of a young village girl
lying torn and bleeding, her throat
savagely ripped open. Upon seeing this

MIRROR OF CAPTURED

Aura: Strong; (DC 21) divination
Activation: Standard (command) and
Standard (manipulation)
Weight: 40 lbs.
Source: Dragon 319 (I Scry: Spying and
Divination Magic Items)
A finely wrought silver mirror, typically 3
feet tall by 4 feet wide and held in a frame
containing twenty-four embedded gemstones.
It has a retractable leg on the back of its frame
allowing it to stand upright upon a desktop or
dresser.
The mirror of captured images is slightly
different than most scrying devices in
that it can be set to begin scrying and
then continues to do so automatically
until the effect is dispelled or it is
commanded to stop.
Upon utterance of a command word,
the mirror views another place as if with
clairvoyance, but vision extends even
onto other planes provided that the user
is sufficiently familiar with the chosen
place. A second command word begins
recording the images from the distant
location depicted in the mirror's surface,
storing these images in the twenty-four
gems. Each gem holds one hour's worth
of images, so the whole mirror can store
up to a full day's images. If left activated
for more than 24 hours, the mirror begins
"recording over" the oldest images so that
only the most recent 24 hours are kept on
record.
Using the second command word
again stops the recording.
If a third command word is uttered
while touching one of the gemstones on
the frame, the mirror "plays back" the
images it has stored within that gem.
Finally, a fourth command word
uttered while touching a gemstone takes
it out "continuous recording loop" so that
the hour's worth of images can be stored
there indefinitely without being
"recorded over" in subsequent uses of the
mirror. Of course, this lowers the length
of time available to the mirror for
continuous recording. If at a later time
the user wishes to record over the images
stored in a gem, repeating the fourth
command word while touching the gem
in question returns it to the pool of
available gemstones for continuous
recording.
Lore: Mirrors of captured images are
often used in magical stakeouts, when
someone is expecting a particular item to
be stolen and wishes to capture the
identity of the thief without remaining in
the area himself. They are also
occasionally used for blackmail purposes,
capturing indiscretions that the
instigators would rather not become
public knowledge. As the mirror has no
auditory capability, Spot is an invaluable
skill when using this device to spy upon
others' conversations.

Most mirrors of communication have
highly polished, elaborately carved hardwood
frames surrounding a silvered mirror of
around 18-inches in diameter or 2-foot square.
A user who speaks while in front of a
mirror of communication has his voice
projected through the other mirrors in
the set, allowing for instantaneous
communication with anyone looking
into one of the other linked mirrors. The
user of a mirror of communication linked
only with one other mirror sees what lies
beyond the other mirror, even with no
one there. When multiple mirrors make
up a linked set, only users currently
speaking have their images projected. If
multiple users speak at the same time the
images and voices of all the speakers
overlap within the mirror and become a
confusing jumble. A successful Listen
check (DC 10 +5 for each speaker beyond
the first) allows a user to discern what
one of the speakers is saying.
Finally, gaze attacks pass through a
mirror of communication and can affect
anyone looking at other mirrors in the
set.
Lore: Developed and commissioned by
clerics of Boccob as a means of
exchanging information between their
vast libraries, mirrors of communication
have proven exceptionally useful as tools
for use in warfare, trade, and politics.
These items always come in sets of at
least two, but a set can have as many as
eighteen individual mirrors.

Used by dwarves as part of a highly

pledges and pacts, the sharing of a flagon
of oathbeer between individuals is a sign
of friendship and devotion. The
ceremony for drinking oathbeer requires
the services of a cleric of any lawful faith
who must approve of the oath to be
sworn. After each individual swearing
the oath has shed blood into the beer the
oath is sworn and the cup passed around.
Oathbeer binds all those who drink it to
the bonds of the oath, so long as they
partake of their own free will. If any of
the drinkers knowingly and willfully
breaks the bond, that individual suffers
from the effects of a bestow curse spell
(whose effects are usually determined at

other drinkers become instantly aware of
the betrayal. One pint of oathbeer is
enough for ten individuals to swear by.

target is killed while lying helpless due
to the organ's power, her wailing soul is
drawn into the organ as per the soul bind

trapped in the organ of souls is to destroy
the organ. If the victim is not in range or

released from the organ are crazed from
their captivity and attack the closest

This ruddy lump of non-descript flesh feels
warm to the touch and shows no signs of rot
regardless of how long it sits.
Anyone consuming this piece of flesh
grows a second head from her left
shoulder within 1d6 days. Once
consumed, only a heal or remove disease
cast within the first 24 hours prevents
the second head from forming. The
second head is physically similar to the
primary head, although often slightly
smaller and more malignant in
appearance. The parasitic twin possesses
the same Intelligence, Wisdom, and
Charisma scores as its host, as well as the
same alignment portion relating to law
and chaos (but it is always evil).It speaks
any languages the host does, as well as
Abyssal and Infernal. The parasitic twin
also has 10 ranks in Knowledge (arcane),
Knowledge (religion), and Knowledge
(the planes). It possesses no other skill
ranks, cannot make attacks, and cannot
cast spells. It can, however, make
untrained skill checks that do not require
a body, such as Bluff or Listen. These
languages and skill ranks belong to the
parasitic twin and do not aid the host in
qualifying for prestige classes.
The parasitic twin has no control of the
body beyond its own head and neck. Any
spell effect suffered by the host also
affects the parasitic twin, but the twin
cannot be slain without removing it or
killing the host. The parasitic twin can
only be removed by cutting it from the
host, a process that deals 10d6 points of
damage to the host.
The parasitic twin chooses to aid the
host solely based upon its never-ending
quest to corrupt the host to evil and the
worship of dark powers. Every small
concession the host makes might earn
her some useful piece of information or a
few hours of cooperation from the
parasitic twin. While the parasitic twin
prefers to allow the host to corrupt
herself; once per week it can force the
host to make a DC 20 Will save or
perform an evil act. This might
eventually result in an alignment change.
Those who are already evil or who
embrace the dark gifts offered by the
parasitic twin quickly find themselves a
very close ally.
Any attack that would affect only the
user's head (such as a vorpal weapon) has
a 50% chance of affecting the parasitic
twin instead. If the effect targets the
user's actual head it affects him as
normal. The parasitic twin then gains
control of the body.

PHOENIX FEATHER

This foot-long feather has a golden shaft
and barbules that blend from a bright crimson
to a pale yellow. It feels somewhat warm to
the touch, even in the coldest climates and
long after it has left the body of a phoenix.
A phoenix feather provides three
abilities: inscribing spells of flame,
destroying undead and water creatures,
or restoring life to any living creature.
Using any one of these effects destroys
the feather.
Inscribing Spells: Any spellcaster can
use a phoenix feather to scribe a scroll of
any fire spell of any level. The caster need
not understand the spell to write it
properly and need not have the Scribe
Scroll feat. The scroll is always flawless
and written as if by a 24th-level caster.
Using a scroll of a higher-level spell than
you can cast subjects you to all the usual
risks described in the DUNGEON
MASTER'S GUIDE. Scribing a scroll
with a phoenix feather requires the normal
length of time to scribe a scroll of the
chosen spell, as well as the appropriate
paper and ink. You must be able to cast
spells in order to use a phoenix feather to
scribe a scroll.
Destroying Undead or Water
Creatures: The phoenix feather can be
brandished to turn (but not rebuke)
undead or creatures with the water
subtype (as a cleric with the Fire domain)
as a 24th-level cleric. A ghost destroyed
by a phoenix feather cannot return to
existence with its rejuvenation ability.
Using a phoenix feather to destroy
undead or water creatures requires a
standard action and a command word.

Quivers of plenty are frequently
made from leather of rich browns
and verdant greens. At a foot
long and about half as wide, the
face of a quiver of plenty is a
work of art, covered in
resplendent reliefs
representing images
of the natural
world, such as
monkey-filled glades,
packs of animals, or
ancient deities of nature.
Aside from its rich
coloration and wonderful
design, the quiver is
otherwise like any other:
A simple leather strap
allows its owner to attach
it to his back or waist.
A quiver of plenty provides its owner
with a limitless supply of various types of
masterwork arrows. Whenever the owner
reaches into the quiver of plenty his mental
desire causes it to instantly create an
arrow of the desired type that remains in
124
existence long enough to fire. The quiver
of plenty can create an infinite number of
wooden arrows, steel-tipped arrows,
alchemical silver-tipped arrows, and cold
iron arrows. It can also create five
adamantine-tipped arrows each day. If
the quiver's owner drops, hands off, or
otherwise lets go of a created arrow in a
way that isn't firing it from a bow, the
arrow disappears. All arrows created by a
quiver of plenty dissipate into nothingness
immediately after they strike a solid
object (whether the intended target or
not).

arrows are placed inside it.
A quiver of the north wind has two
additional properties as well. After a
character bears the quiver for 24 hours,
the quiver of the north wind attunes to that
character. Thereafter, if anyone other
than the quiver's owner attempts to fire
an arrow from the quiver the arrow
disperses into harmless mist mid-flight.
Lastly, three times per day the quiver

Source: Dragon 338 (Core Beliefs:

The item is a steel orb
about 3 inches across,
graven with lines,
spirals, and a single
instance of Boccob's
symbol.
This powerful
magic item is held in
high esteem by the Razor Bands of
church of Boccob, for
the Archmage
it received a blessing
from the god himself during an
encounter on a remote plane. It orbits its
bearer's head like an ioun stone and
provides a +6 enhancement bonus to
Intelligence when doing so.
The orb is also an offensive weapon,
unfolding into a tangle of razor-sharp
loops on command and functioning like
iron bands of Bilarro. Any creature held by
the razor bands cannot use any spell
effects of 4th level at lower, just as if it
were within an enemy’s globe of
invulnerability; this globelike effect only
affects a 10-foot-diameter sphere, but the
bearer's spells can penetrate it as if he
had cast the spell. A creature caught in
the bands takes 1d8+4 points of slashing
damage per round (the item is considered
a magic weapon for the purpose of
bypassing damage reduction). The bands
are flexible and hard to break; a creature
can escape them with a DC 30 Escape

break them requires a successful DC 40

Resembling a blood-shot eyeball with eight
black clockwork legs, the researcher is content
to ride motionless in a pouch or backpack
until its services are required, at which point
it scuttles off on insectile legs with startling
speed.
This construct is an invaluable
research aid, helping characters quickly
sift through vast quantities of written
information.
Built around a magically reduced
section of quasit brain, the researcher is
frequently a sage's most valuable tool.
125
Released into a library and given a simple
topic to research, the construct races
around scanning tomes and scrolls with
tremendous speed, looking for references
to the specified area of study, then
returns to telepathically communicate its
found information into its master's mind,
granting an hour-long bonus of +5 on
Knowledge checks in the specified field.
A character using a researcher in an
untrained Knowledge discipline remains
unable to use the skill. The massive
inflow of knowledge from a researcher has
no structure and appears without context,
requiring the user to make the proper
inferences and connections that only
someone who has studied the subject can
do.
Although not actually sentient,
constant exposure to its master during
the apprenticeship period (see below)
allows a researcher to slowly attune itself
to its master's mannerisms and speech
patterns. As such, it's enough for its
master to directly address it and state a
simple subject. Questions are too
complex for the tiny construct, and
requests may never be more specific than
the closest corresponding Knowledge
category-"nobility" or "politics" works,
but "nobles with ties to the Scarlet
Brotherhood" overwhelms the researcher
and causes it to collapse in a shuddering
tangle of legs until soothed with gentle
words and petting. Such comforting
requires 1 minute.
Researchers require a well-stocked
library and 15 minutes of study to be
completely effective. Reducing the
amount of information or length of time
available to it might reduce the
construct's effectiveness, at the DM's
discretion. Bonuses from multiple
researchers working on the same topic in
the same library do not stack, as their
methods of research are identical.
A newly constructed researcher requires
a period of three months to become
attuned to its master before reaching
peak effectiveness. During this time, the
construct rides on shoulders or under
Researcher
caps and hoods. Mindlessly loyal, a
researcher may not take a new master
unless it’s current one dies or voluntarily
transfers ownership, at which point a
new apprenticeship period begins.
In combat, treat the researcher as a tiny
animated object (MONSTER MANUAL,
13) that cannot attack.
Some DMs might allow a PC to take a
researcher in place of a familiar
Lore: Certain eccentric sages allow

Unfortunately for the wielder, undead

This hefty rod is crowned by four clenched
fists stacked on top of one another. It looks to
be made of coal, but it bears the unmistakable
coldness of metal when wielded.
The rod of clenched fists strikes as a +2
light mace and utilizes the following spell-
like abilities as a 9th-level caster. Only
one of these abilities can be used in a
round:
• Bane at will as per the spell. A DC
11 Will save resists this effect.
• Vampiric touch 3/day as per the
spell. This ability can be activated
on a successful attack as a free
action, dealing an additional 4d6
points of damage and healing the
wielder by the same amount.
• Once per day, the rod can be used
to cast dominate person on a
creature touched. A DC 17 Will
save resists this effect. Each day
that the dominated creature is
touched by the rod extends the
duration of the domination by one
day without a new saving throw.
Touching a dominated creature in
this manner uses the dominate
person ability of the rod for that
day.
Relic Power: To use this relic, you
must worship Bane and either sacrifice a
5th-level divine spell slot or have the
Time Believer feat and at least 9 Hit Dice.
Lore: Fzoul Chembryl gave many of
these rods–as well as the secret of their
creation–to followers of Bane who kept
the faith during the god's "absence."
Forging such a rod requires finding three
good-aligned humanoids willing to
sacrifice their fists to the rod with full
knowledge of its use. Duress is often
necessary to force such capitulation. For
the capstone to the rod, a greater sacrifice
is required-the creator's own fist. The
original bearers of the rods of clenched fists
have since moved into positions of power
in the governments of Faerûn, either
directly or covertly.

delusions reveals its true nature. At the
end of the full-round action the wielder
must succeed at a DC 19 Will save or
become delusional. A delusional
character perceives numerous enemies
around her. Ghosts linger just beyond the
walls, illusionists whisper spells of deceit
just around the corner, and worst of all,
doppelgangers impersonate her fellow
adventurers! These delusions cause a
wielder who fails her Will save to attack
the creatures nearest to her, typically her
allies. She continues to attack nearby
creatures until either they are all killed,
she falls unconscious (or is killed), or all
visible targets leave her line of sight.
At that time she becomes fatigued and
breaks free of the delusions, realizing
with horror what she has done.
In combat, the rod of delusions functions
as a +1 light mace. If under the effects of
the rod's delusions, the wielder uses it in
combat to attack nearby targets even if
she has a better weapon or has no
proficiency with a mace.
Prerequisites: Craft Rod, confusion, true
seeing.

Activation: Standard (command)
Weight: Unknown
Source: Dragon 317 (Mages High Notes:

A golden rod that is caked with blood and
ashes at one end.
A rod of destruction can be used only
once before it is destroyed. Upon the
command of its possessor, a rod of
destruction unleashes a powerful pulse of
negative energy upon up to twenty
creatures chosen by the wielder in a 75-
foot radius. Each targeted creature takes
4d8+20 points of damage. Undead are
instead healed by this pulse. A successful
DC 22 Will save halves the damage. A rod
of destruction crumbles into non-magical
sand when it is used.
Prerequisites: Craft Rod, Enlarge Spell,

Activation: Standard (command)
Weight: 1 lb.
Source: Dragon 342 (Bazaar of the
Bizarre: Healer’s Touch)
A foot-long ivory rod with 1-inch bands of
ebony at either end.
A rod of disenchantment is the bane of
those who rely on magical effects to
bolster their abilities. To those afflicted
with detrimental magic, it is a blessing.
When touched to a creature (a melee
touch attack) and the command word is
uttered, several effects occur
simultaneously and instantaneously:
• All enchantments on the creature
cease functioning,
• All transmutation effects on the
creature end.
• All curses (as from bestow curse) on
the creature are removed.
• All cursed items in the creature's
possession cease functioning and
drop to the ground.
All effects function as per break
enchantment at caster level 16.
After discharging, a rod of
disenchantment loses its magical
properties for 12 hours until it recharges
(it still detects as magical, however).
Prerequisites: Craft Rod, break
enchantment, greater dispel magic.

Carved from the bone of a dragon and
covered in draconic runes, this russet-stained
rod gains its color by the boiling dragon blood
in which it is created.
This tall rod is sized for the use of a
massive dragon, but a Medium creature
can still hold it as a quarterstaff.
A rod of dragon's blood provides some
benefits for those with draconic heritage
(sorcerers, creature of the dragon type
[but not true dragons, who receive a
greater boon], or a half-dragons).
• Lesser rod of dragon's blood:
allows the wielder to recast any
spell of up to 2nd level he cast in
the previous round, once per day.
• Greater rod of dragon's blood:
allows its wielder to recast any
spell of up to 4th level he cast in
the previous round, once per day.
These abilities do not function when
the rod is held by a true dragon.
When held by a true dragon the rod of
dragon's blood reveals its true power.
• Lesser rod of dragon's blood:
grants a dragon the ability to reuse
any spell-like ability the dragon
used in the previous round. It can
only do this once per day per spell-
like ability.
• Greater rod of dragon's blood:
allows the dragon to reuse its
spell-like abilities three times per
day each, and 24 hours must pass
after the third use before it can be
used again. It otherwise functions
as a lesser rod of dragon's blood.
Prerequisites: Craft Rod, creator must be

Carved from a single bone, with leathery,
mummified flesh still clinging to it. Several
teeth protrude from one end.
This foul creation so far exists only in
the possession of the feeders' greatest
leaders. When used in combat, the rod
strikes as a +2 light mace. In addition,
whenever the wielder scores a critical hit,
the rod deals 1d10 points of starvation
(nonlethal) damage as well as normal
damage.
With a touch, the rod can rot food and
wither nonmagical vegetation (up to 2
cubic feet), three times per day. This
ability does no additional damage to
plant creatures. It also functions as a ring
of sustenance so long as it remains on the
wielder's person.
Finally, three times per day, the
wielder may quicken any Hunger domain
spells he casts, as though he had prepared
the spell with the Quicken Spell feat,
without changing the spell slot of the
altered spell.
Prerequisites: Craft Rod, Quicken Spell,

A rod of adamantine that has been dipped
at either end into molten ruby.
A rod of miracles is a fantastically
powerful magic item that can be used
only once. Upon the command of its
possessor, a rod of miracles flashes with
pure white light. This flash of light heals,
as per the mass heal spell, all creatures
within a 30-foot radius (including the
owner of the rod). The owner can select
which creatures in range to heal; she does
not have to affect all creatures in this
radius.
Any creature healed by a rod of miracles
that has the ability to cast spells can
immediately recall up to nine spells that
she had previously cast. These spells are
prepared again, just as if they had not
been cast. Characters that do not prepare
spells instead have up to nine spell slots
return, just as if these slots had never
been used to cast spells. Only one spell
per spell level may be so recalled in this
manner; if a character had cast three 3rd-
level spells when this effect manifests,
she can only recall one of those 3rd-level
spells. Creatures that are damaged by the
heal effect (such as undead) do not get to
recall previously cast spells.
A rod of miracles melts into nonmagical
water when it is used.

These highly valuable rods appear as
simple iron scepters carved with an open

A rod of revealing suppresses all
magic from the school of illusion as if
it were within an antimagic field. This
effect covers a 110-foot radius
centered on the rod and is useable
once per day. The rod can maintain
this illusion suppression field for 110
minutes (1 hour, 50 minutes). While
the rod affects an area, no new illusion
spells or effects can be cast or
triggered. Any attempt to cast such a
spell in the area instantly fails and
items with illusion effects (such as a

Designed to allow Vecna's lieutenants
to maintain order while he was away
from his throne, it functions as a rod of
rulership (DC 20) and once per day can be
used as a crystal ball (up to 10 minutes
scrying, DC 20 to resist). When used to

are aware of it (as well as Verna himself,
regardless of distance or planar
boundaries), and any scrying attempts
against the user are automatically
successful (as if he had failed his saving

Vecnas cultists have a ritual of human
sacrifice that allows them to restore spent
charges from the rulership ability; even
when the available uses of the ability are
spent it remains a viable scrying device

cudgels intricately carved with stylized
representations of the four animal aspects they
bestow. As a rod ages, the grain of its wood
darkens until it achieves the appearance of
bog oak.
A rod of the wild functions as a +2 club
that grants special abilities based on four
animal totems. Once per day, the rod of
the wild's wielder can choose to take on
certain aspects of one of these four
animals. The rod continues to grant the
special abilities of the chosen animal
totem as long as its wielder holds it. A rod
of the wild only grants its wielder the
abilities of one totem animal at a time.
• Bear: The wielder gains a +3
natural armor bonus and a +4
enhancement bonus to his
Strength. While using this aspect
the wielder adds 20 pounds to his
weight from increased bulk.
• Hawk: The wielder gains a +2

Spot checks and can feather fall at
will as a spell-like ability. In this
aspect, the wielder's eyes take on a
golden hue.
• Mouse: The wielder
gains a +4 competence

water breathing once per day.
While in this form, the

Lore: Primitive human barbarians

RUNES
Any creature that touches a rune
gains full knowledge of what magic the
symbol holds, how it works, what the
limitations are, and how to active it,
conveyed as a command word and
instinctual details spoken directly to the
rune holder's mind.
Activating a rune requires a standard
action as the bearer holds the rune and
speaks its command word. Upon doing
so, the rune's spell is cast as if by a
spellcaster of the rune's caster level.
Once invoked, the rune disappears from
whatever surface bore it, and it cannot
be used again.
Etch Rune [Item Creation]
You can create runes.
Prerequisite: Scribe Scroll.
Benefit: You can create a rune of any
spell you know. Scribing a rune takes
one day for each 1,000 gp in its base
price. The base price of a rune equals its
spell level x caster level x 75 gp. To etch
a rune, you must spend 1/25 of this base
price in XP and use up raw materials
costing one-half of this base price.
Any rune that stores a spell with a
costly material component or an XP cost
also carries a commensurate cost. In
addition to the costs derived from the
base price, you must expend the
material component or pay the XP when
scribing the rune.

githyanki centuries ago when the pact
with red dragons was forged. Ephelomon
gave the scepter to the first
Vlaakith (the current Vlaakith's
ancestor), saying “go forth and conquer
all."
The scepter has the following powers:
The bearer has total control over red
dragons. Any red dragon who approaches
within a half-mile of the scepter must
succeed at a Will save (DC 35) or be
affected as a dominate monster spell cast by

The bearer is immune to fire and fear

Once per week, the bearer can create a
gate through which a very old red dragon
flies (see the MONSTER MANUAL for the
very old red dragon's statistics). The
dragon must immediately make a Will
save (DC 35) or serve the scepter-bearer
without reward. Even if the dragon
makes its save, it is considered controlled

to that of a minor globe of invulnerability.
Finally, twice per day, the scepter can fire
a prismatic ray (range 100 feet) that hits
with a successful ranged touch attack by
the wielder. If the ray strikes the target,
the effect functions as one randomly

SCOUT'S JOURNAL
Price (Item Level): 2,000 gp (6th)

Source: Dragon 334 (Bazaar of the
Bizarre: Arsenal of the War Mages)
A large ornate parchment scroll brilliantly
illuminated with mysterious symbols
mounted on a backing of supple worked
leather.
These scrolls are opened or closed
using two rolling rods on each side.
Rolled into the parchment of a new scout's
journal is a plain silver ring. Wearing this
ring does not take up a magic item slot
(although it does glow with moderate
divination magic if detect magic is used on
it). The journal tracks the ring wearer,
creating a perfectly accurate map of
where he goes and annotating the
margins with descriptions (in Common)
and sketches of more interesting features
the wearer sees (determined at the DM's
discretion). The map and notes are based
only on what the ring wearer sees and
does; it does not fill in unseen areas or
make assumptions. The journal records
only maps, notes, and sketches, and
cannot be used to record specific
messages or spells (either as a spell-book
or a scroll).
The map covers an area of 100 square
miles (10 miles by 10 miles). Once a map
and notes cover the entire parchment
(typically by exploring most of the area
the parchment can map out) both it and
the ring lose their magical properties and
revert to being nothing more than a map
(with extensive notes) and a plain silver
ring worth 50 gp. The ring can be reused
to create a new scout's journal, reducing
the cost of creating the new item by 50
gp. A ring can only be attuned to one
piece of parchment at a time.

SCRYSKULL / SCRYSKULL
HELM
Price (Item Level): 25,200 gp (15th)
Body Slot: –– / Head
Caster Level: 7th
Aura: Moderate; (DC 18) divination
Activation: Standard (command)
Weight: 3 lbs.
Source: Dragon 319 (I Scry: Spying and
Divination Magic Items)
A skull (usually humanoid in origin)
lightly etched with faint runes that completely
cover the surface.
A scryskull is a handy scrying device, in
many ways much like a physical arcane
eye with even more utility. Each scryskull
has two main components: the floating
skull used as a sensor device and the
larger skull used to control the sensor.
This larger skull is often referred to as a
scryskull helm.
A scryskull can often be overlooked as
nothing more than a normal skull,
especially if spotted in an area where one
might expect to see such things: among
other bones on the floor of a carnivore's
cave, on the shelf of a wizard's den or
alchemical laboratory, and so forth. A
close examination of the skull
automatically reveals the runes on its
surface; otherwise a creature must
succeed at a DC 15 Spot check to see
them.
When the user of a scryskull helm
activates the scryskull's powers, he can see
through the "eyes" of the scryskull as if
using an arcane eye spell. When the
scryskull is actively being used as a scrying
device, twin points of red light illuminate
in the skull's eye sockets.
The wearer of the scryskull helm can do
more than see through the "eyes.' of the
scryskull, though: He can also hear sounds
in the scryskulls location with his own
auditory acuity and speak through the
skull's mouth. In addition, the scryskull
flies at a speed of 60 feet with perfect
maneuverability. If deactivated while in
the air, a scryskull sinks slowly to the
ground as if under the influence of a
feather fall spell. Scryskulls have hardness 5
and 10 hit points and they are usually
three size categories smaller than the
creature from which the skull was taken
(a Medium creature's skull is
diminutive).
A scryskull helm is nearly identical in
appearance to a scryskull, but with a few
differences. First, a scryskull helm is often
larger than the scryskull to which it is
132
Scryskull / Scryskull Helm
linked, as the helm must be placed over
the head of the user and worn like a
helmet. The bottom of the skull used for
a scryskull helm is usually carved out to
allow for such use. The lower jaw of the
skull is not necessary for a scryskull helm
and is often discarded. Ogre and giant
skulls are commonly modified for use as
scryskull helms, although dragon-skull
helms are not unknown. The helm need
not be the same type as the scryskull.
However, close examination reveals the
same types of runes lightly etched over
every surface of the scryskull helm.
The user dons the scryskull helm and
activates the scryskull via a command
word, so long as both components are on
the same plane of existence. At that
point, he sees through the scryskulls
"eyes" and hears through its "ears." At
will, he can choose to speak through the
scryskull and move it around via its flight
abilities.
While wearing an activated scryskull
helm, the user does not see through his
own eyes or hear through his own ears,
so he might be oblivious to events
around him. As soon as he removes the
scryskull helm or deactivates the scryskull
with a command word, his normal vision
and hearing is restored.

Shadow Mirror
Once a day, exactly at
midnight and without the need of a user,
the shadow mirror picks up the thoughts
of the nearest sentient being and creates
a shadow creature based on that being’s
thoughts, as per the spell greater shadow
conjuration.
The creature whose thoughts the
shadow conjuration were based off of has
a kind of control over the conjured form,
although the shadow creature seems to
intentionally warp each order as
maliciously and destructively as possible
and occasionally ignores its master’s will
entirely. The shadow shape exists and
serves for 1 day, fading into nothing the
following midnight when a new shadow
creature is created. If several creatures
are equally close to the mirror at
midnight they must make a contested
check (1d20 plus the creature’s Hit Dice
plus its Charisma modifier). The creature
that wins chooses the form of the shadow
conjuration and controls it for the next
day.
Lore: One group of Signers believed
that the Plane of Shadow was a
disbelieved or forgotten reality and spent
months meditating in hopes of
reestablishing that displaced existence.
Although they never succeeded, their
focused wills unexpectedly brought into
creation a strange frame of darkened

metal that reflected only shadows. Taking
this creation as a kind of success, these
Signers turned their thoughts to other
pursuits, at least until their lives became
haunted by shadows.

(Savage Tide – The
Bullywug Gambit)
A shadow pearl is a
lustrous black pearl
approximately four inches in
diameter. Anyone who
studies the pearl's glossy
surface for more than a
minute sees what appears to be
a swirling vortex of shadows within. As the
viewer watches, faces form in the shadows
until a twisted, feral reflection of the viewer
rises to the pearl's surface, leering and hateful.
While unnerving, this has no effect on the
viewer.
A shadow pearl serves one function–to
create a savage tide, This is a wave of
rippling green energy that washes over
the surrounding region, transforming
creatures within to savage creatures (see
the “Savage Creature” sidebar on page
134). To trigger a pearl, it must be
anointed with the blood of an intelligent
creature just a single drop will do. For
one minute thereafter, the pearl sizzles
and flashes with green light,
reverting to normal after
this time if no further
action is taken. If the
pearl is dropped or
struck a solid blow
during this minute, it cracks
open and unleashes a choking
cloud of green gas in a 20-foot radius
spread. Any creature that ends its
movement for a round inside this cloud
takes 1d6 points of acid damage. The
smoke itself teems with swirling evil
spirits and gnashing fangs. Once a shadow
pearl is cracked, it smokes and sputters
for one minute before exploding into a
savage tide. Only by negating the pearl's
growing magic with a successfid dispel
magic or Mordenkainen's Disjunction can
the oncoming savage tide be halted.
Placing the pearl in an antimagic zone
until this minute passes also prevents the
savage tide.
Once the pearl explodes, a savage tide
flashes like a wave of boiling green water
and fog out to a one-mile radius spread.
All corporeal aberrations, animals,
dragons, fey, giants, humanoids, magical
beasts, and monstrous humanoids in this
area must make a DC 15 Will save.
Success indicates the creature is merely
nauseated for one round. Failure means
that the savage tide has washed away
their sanity and immediately transforms
the victim into a savage creature (see
Appendix 2).
A shadow pearl is a one-use item. Once
it unleashes a savage tide, it is consumed.
Lore: The original shadow pearl was
created over a thousand years ago by the
Prince of Demons and then sent to the
Material Plane for his followers to
discover and use. The results of the first
savage tide released by a shadow pearl
devastated an entire nation and created
the realm known to sailors today as the
Isle of Dread.
Despite being minor artifacts them-
selves, the shadow pearls being produced
by the hidden rulers of the Isle today are
poor approximations ofthe first pearl. Yet
these lesser shadow pearls are more than
enough to serve Demogorgon's needs,
and as more are created and seeded
through-out the world, the awful
culmination of the demon lord's plans
draws near.

Shedshed
guisarme, halberd,
lance, longspear, ranseur, or spear. While
held aloft, the bearer and all allies within
30 feet gain a +2 morale bonus on attack
rolls, saving throws, and skill checks.

In addition, should the bearer
be reduced to 0 or fewer hit points,
the Shedshed functions as a 5-foot by
5-foot carpet of flying, wrapping its
bearer within itself and removing
him from harm. This function also
occurs whenever the bearer is
staggered, unconscious, or dead.
While wrapped within the Shedshed the
bearer is not subject to attacks,
although the Shedshed itself may be
attacked as usual. The Shedshed has an
AC of 13 (+3 Dex), hardness 0, and 2 hp.
While inside the Shedshed, the bearer
can take no actions
In order to use this ability, the bearer
must designate a location where the
Shedshed brings the unconscious or dead
bearer. Designating the location requires
only a free action. If the bearer is
brought to 0 or fewer hit points before
designating a location, the Shedshed does
not activate the carpet of flying function.
Once the Shedshed arrives at the
designated location, it lands and
unwraps the bearer.
Lore: Egyptian tales speak of the
god Wepwawet, also known as
Oupouaout and "the Opener of
Ways," who was a deity of both war
and funeral rites. The symbol of
Wepwawet was depicted upon the
Shedshed, a magical standard that not only
led the pharaoh and his armies to victory,
but also would allow him to ascend into
the sky and from there to the afterlife,
should he ever die. Wepwawet relates to
Osiris and Re-Horakhty from Deities of

Lore: The Royal Caverns of
Splendarrmornn were stripped of much–
if not all–of their treasure by the foul
forces of Hellgate Keep, and they are now
home to many sorts of undead and fell
creatures of even greater evil. Two of the
most important Ammarindan artifacts to
apparently escape their plundering were
the golemlike Shining Thrones of
Splendarrmornn, both of which vanished
during the fighting in the Year of the
Curse (88a DR) as a horde of fiends
overran the realm.
The Kingthrone of Splendarrmornn
vanished during the Battle of Karscragg,
which unfolded near the confluence of
the Rivers Delimibiyr and Heartsblood.
As the Ammarindan and Eaerlanni
armies made their final, futile stand
against the demonic hordes flooding
down the Delimibiyr valley from fallen
Ascalhorn, the dwarven queen's cousin,
Kulduke Daggan "the Hammer" Rockfist,
blood of Olaurin, donned the Kingthrone
in defense of the realm. In the absence of
a king to lead the Stout Folk, the
Kulduke had the strongest royal
bloodline of any living male dwarf a
birthright that obligated him to employ
the Kingthrone and lead the dwarven
armies into the fray. It is said that Daggan
slew a score or more fiends ere he
vanished into the High Forest near the
end of the battle in pursuit of a murmur
of vrocks, each of whom clutched a
struggling dwarven warrior in its claws.
All but one of those dwarves emerged
from the High Forest thanks to Daggan's
relentless pursuit of the vulture-like
fiends, but neither the Kulduke nor the
Kingthrone were seen again for centuries.
136
The Nine, a now-disbanded company of
adventurers whose former stronghold
lies on the banks of the Unicorn Run,
reportedly battled the Kingthrone while
unsuccessfully hunting
Grimnoshtasdrano, the "Riddling
Dragon," amid the Endless Caverns of the
High forest. If this most recent account
of the Kingthrone is to be believed, the
Kulduke's spirit remains trapped within
the royal seat, attacking all living
creatures under the delusion that they
are fiends.
The Queenthrone of Splendarrmornn was
lost, along with the rest of the valiant
dwarven rearguard, in the savage fighting
in the Vale of Naurogloth (Bleached
Bones Pass) as the surviving Stout Folk of
Ammarindar fled southward to Oghrann.
Queen Helmma's company bought time
with their lives for the less warlike of
their people to flee the orc raiders who
sought to slay the dwarven refugees. As
every dwarf in the rearguard died during
the Battle of Bleached Bones, including
their valiant queen, there were no
survivors to keep the Queenthrone from
falling into orc hands. In the centuries
since Ammarindar's fall, there have been
periodic reports from that region of an
intricately carved dwarven golem
employed by one orc tribe or another in
their endless battles for tribal supremacy,
but no expedition has ever returned from
the Greypeak Mountains with reports of
having actually observed the cut throne.

This odd glass bottle is similar in
function to an iron flask, but instead of
trapping outsiders, it traps ships. Once
per day, when the user speaks the
command word, she can force any one
ship within 60 feet into the bottle,
provided the highest-ranking sailor
onboard the ship fails a DC 22 Will save.
Each member of the crew (except for the
highest-ranking sailor onboard) is then
allowed a save, but success means only
that crewmember escapes imprisonment
(the ship is still captured, but the
crewmember falls into the water where
the ship recently was). Loosing the cork
frees the trapped ship. If the ship is freed
without a large body of water within half
a mile, the ship appears on land directly
in front of the bottle.
While trapped in the bottle, the
miniaturized crew does not age, nor do
they need to eat or drink. They are aware
of their surroundings, but can in no way
move or communicate beyond the glass
barrier, including with the use of teleport,
plane shift, or even sending spells. From
the outside, the crew can be seen to move
about in the rigging, play cards, duel, and
so forth.
The owner of the bottle may use the
command word to free the ship in the
bottle. When she does so, she may
compel the crew to serve her, as per the
geas spell.
If the bottle is destroyed while a ship is
trapped within it, the ship's highest-
ranking sailor most immediately make
another DC 22 Will save. A successful
save frees the ship and crew; a failed save
results in the ship and crew being

Specifically designed to slowly render

disguised to look like any other known
ioun stone. When set in orbit about the
head, the user hears twenty drunken
voices loudly singing a bawdy drinking
song over and over again, a cacophony
only he can hear. The mental chorus is
enough to disrupt the concentration of
even the most resolute spellcaster. When
attempting to cast a spell the victim must
first succeed at a Concentration check
(DC 20 + spell level). If the victim
fails this Concentration check, he
automatically loses the spell he was
casting. Attempts to use a skill not
based on Strength or Constitution
increases the DC of the skill check by
+10, due to the constant distraction.
The victim cannot take 10 or take 20

Dispel magic and protection from evil
suppresses the song for 1 minute per
caster level. The song otherwise rolls
on endlessly in the victim's mind,
even during sleep. Because of this
constant noise, anyone afflicted with a
singing ioun stone must succeed at a DC 16
Fortitude save in order to get any rest. If
he fails that save he gets no rest and can
neither prepare new spells nor regain
spell slots.
Attempts to remove the stone by
physical force cause the stone to freeze in

1d6 points of sonic damage to every

A slate folio typically appears as a 1-foot by
9-inch piece of gray slate, which can copy up
to five other books. Two gems sit within the
bottom of the folio, and a third gem with five
enruned facets appears on the right-hand side
of the folio.
A collective of wizards labored for
years to create the first slate folio as an
alternative to the traditionally bulky and
over-sized wizard's spellbook. In addition

folio takes up less space
than a typical spell-book, which also
makes it easier to hide from thieves.
Since its invention the slate folio has
become a rare treasure pined for by sages,
librarians, and wizards across the known
world.
By rotating the side gem you can select
one of the five books linked to the slate
folio. Once you choose a book for viewing
the first page of its text appears on the
slate folio. You may then flip forward or
backward through the pages by pressing
one of the two gems in the bottom of the
slate folio. To attune the slate folio to a
specific book, you need only place the
slate folio on top of the closed book, select
with the five-sided gem which of the five
slots you wish to attune the book to, and
press in on the side gem. It takes an hour
for the slate folio to read the book and
record its contents, after which time the
depressed side gem pops out to its default
position. Pressing the gem with no book
under the slate folio does nothing; the
gem simply doesn't stay in the depressed
position. You may overwrite a filled slot
simply by selecting that slot and placing
the slate folio on top of a book and
depressing the side gem.
A slate folio can hold any mundane book
or spellbook of 100 pages or less. It
cannot hold the contents or duplicate the
abilities of any magic book, such as a book
of exalted deeds or a tome of understanding or
any other form of magical writing, such
as a scroll. The slate folio can, however,
hold copies of the pages of nonmagic
books that have pages with magical
effects on them, such as a sepia snake sigil
or secret page spell. When reading through
a book with such a magical effect on it,
the slate folio shows where the magical
glyph, rune, sigil, symbol, or other
writing is located but replaces it with a
nonmagical image indicating the effect's
location within the attuned book.
Looking at a page with magical writing in
the slate folio does not trigger any effect
associated with the writing.

The Soaring Throne of the Witch-Queen is
a glassteel seat shaped in the form of a
rampant griffon. The griffon's chest forms the
back of the throne, while its forelegs serve as
chair arms. The griffon's wings curve between
its legs, forming the sides of the crystalline
throne.
Constructed of glassteel, a rare material
fabricated by avariels and sun elves, the
Soaring Throne has strength beyond iron,
with a hardness of 20 and 40 hit points
per inch of thickness. At will, once per
round, anyone sitting on the Soaring
Throne may employ the spells
Mordenkainen's sword, shield, spell turning,
or whispering wind. The throne also acts as
a figurine of wondrous power (albeit without
the normal size alteration), transforming
into an advanced 15 HD griffon for as
long as 8 hours a day. Unlike a normal
figurine, however, if slain the griffon
simply reverts (intact) to crystalline form
and cannot reanimate until at least ten
days have passed.
Lore: During her thirty-three-year
reign over Stornanter, Laeral crafted
numerous unique spells and magic items,
many of which still survive today. The
most famous of her creations from this
period was the result of a potent
collaboration with the Court Wizard of
Stornanter, Malek Aldhanek.
When Laeral all but quit her court
following the apparent death of Malek,
she kept with her Stornanter's royal seat,
regularly employing its ability to
transform into a crystalline griffon to fly
about the realm (and, not incidentally,
keeping it out of the hands of overly
ambitious courtiers). The last recorded
sighting of the Soaring Throne occurred in
the Year of the Leaping Lion (834 DR),
when the Witch-Queen battled a gigantic
kraken just outside of Port Llast's harbor
during a raging storm. Laeral eventually
managed to drive off the monster with a
barrage of fearsome spells, but the
monstrous cephalopod's grasping
tentacles dragged the griffon construct
with it back into the depths.
Today, the Soaring Throne lies amid the
sunken ruins of Ascarle, a long-lost elven
city off the coast of Trisk (the western
isle of the Purple Rocks), in the hoard of
the Slarkrethrel, the Chosen of
Umberlee. The legendary kraken has
grown greatly in power in the centuries
since its battle with the Witch-Queen,
and its tentacles now extend the length
of the Sword Coast through its command
of the secretive Kraken Society. Laeral is

Queen
 Complete Dragon & Dungeon Magazine 3.5 Magic Items – Tools
undoubtedly aware of the Soaring Throne's
approximate location, but the legendary
wizardress has never seen fit to reclaim
the lost seat of Stornanter, no doubt in
part due to her shame in failing the
citizenry of that lost realm. Should a
daring band of powerful adventurers
someday retrieve the realm's royal seat
from its watery grave, Lady Arunsun
would undoubtedly cede it to them
willingly if they sought to refound her
ancient realm with good and noble
purpose.
Although neither Laeral nor Khelben
has ever precisely detailed the powers of
the Soaring Throne of the Witch-Queen,
sufficient reports exist in the archives of
the Arcane Brotherhood to detail the
properties of the royal seat.

SOUL MACHINE [MAJOR

Weight: Unknown

Castle Perilous)
The soul machine is a marvel of magical
engineering created by a long-dead
civilization called the Moilians. It is so
extensive that it required a staggering
tower to house all of its component parts.
It is made up of four spirit engines—
powerful magical generators that create
large amounts of positive and negative
energy—housed in turrets, an ectoplasm
ring used to buffer and channel the
energy to the lightning ring where the
energy is passed to the core, and eight
receptors that receive concentrated energy
from the core and pass it through into the
soul crown worn by the subject creature—
an adamantine circlet with eight points
ending in small crystal spheres filled
with smoky mist.
The soul machine can reproduce the
following spell effects when set to
positive energy:
3/day—heal (CL 20th) when the power
level is on low.
2/day—regenerate (CL 20th) when the
power level is on medium.
1/day—resurrection (CL 20th) when the
power level is on high.
The soul machine can reproduce the
following spell effects when set to
negative energy:
3/day—harm (CL 20th) when the
power level is on low.
2/day—slay living (CL 20th) when the
power level is on medium.
1/day—create greater undead (CL 20th)
when the power level is on high (this
requires that the soul crown be placed on a
once-living sentient being which is
transformed into the chosen undead
from the list in the PH).
1/day—the soul machine can draw the
souls from up to eight living subjects
placed inside one of the receptors–large
capsules filled with magical ectoplasmic
liquid–to accomplish astounding
alterations on living or undead beings
(depending on what type of energy is
used). The creature in the receptor is killed
in the process, and their soul is either
stored or used immediately by the subject
wearing the soul crown. The process takes
24 hours. With the power drawn from
fifty souls, a creature wearing the soul
crown can will itself into any new
corporeal form it desires of its same HD
or less. With one hundred souls, this
transformation can increase the subject’s
HD up to 5 more than it currently has.
With up to two hundred souls, the HD
increase is 10. With up to four hundred
souls, the HD increase is 15. The soul
machine cannot store more than four
hundred souls.
While any of the above powers are
being used, the creature wearing the soul
crown cannot leave the perimeter of the
ring formed by the receptors unless it
removes the soul crown, which aborts the
soul machine’s current task.
Each of the spirit engines has its own
magical key used to switch it back and
forth between positive and negative
energy. Without the keys, the power
output can still be switched with a DC 35
Use Magic Device check. Each spirit
engine has a control panel in a shallow
depression on the side facing the interior
of the tower. The panel has a key hole
with the Moilian symbol for positive and
negative energy to ether side, four
glowing red buttons with Moilian
symbols representing the numbers 1–4, a
glowing crystal stud that indicates that
the spirit engine is on, and a small crystal
hemisphere that contains an arrow
pointing to a half circle that represents
the level of power being produced. Part
of the half circle to the left is black; most
of the rest is red; a small portion to the
right is orange, and a sliver farthest to the
right is yellow. When the spirit engine is
at low power, the arrow points to the
black; at medium power, it points to the
red; at high power it points to the orange.
If the spirit engine is producing too much
power, it points to the yellow.
The controls can be used as follows:
Decrease Power: Pushing buttons 4, 3,
1, 2 in that order decreases the power
level one step. For example, if the arrow
indicator is currently in the red, it moves
to the black area (if it is already in the
black there is no change).
 Complete Dragon & Dungeon Magazine 3.5 Magic Items – Tools
The half‐fiend lich Acererak stands before merely a

Increase Power: Pushing buttons 1, 2,
4, 3 in that order increases the power
level by one step. For example, if the
arrow indicator is currently in the black,
it moves to the red, and if it is currently
in the red, it moves to the yellow area.
Shut Down: By pushing buttons 1, 4,
3, 2 in that order, the spirit engine shuts
down after 1 full minute.
Overload: If the power level is
increased to maximum, the gauge points
to yellow and the light in the crystal stud
flashes quickly. After 1 hour, the power
level automatically returns to high and
the crystal stops flashing. However, if all
four spirit engines are set at maximum,
they begin to build up extremely
destructive levels of power. If not
manually returned to a safe level of
power within 1 hour, the surge of energy
built up creates an explosion that deals
1,000 points of damage to everything
inside and within 50 feet of the tower.
140
Creatures outside of the tower may make
DC 30 Reflex saves for half, though in
most cases that much damage will
destroy them.
Energy Surge: Physical contact with a
spirit engine while it is on deals 1d6
points of positive or negative energy
damage, depending on which type the
spirit engine is set to. A negative energy
surge heals undead while a positive
energy surge heals living beings. This
damage is negated with a DC 25
Fortitude save.
While all of the powers detailed above
are known and catalogued in the research
manuals of its Moilian creators, the same
texts confess that only a fraction of the
applications the soul machine could be
used for are known.

The Teeth of the Sown Men–
also sometimes called the Teeth of the
Dragon–are small dragon’s teeth with a band
of runes running around the circumference of
each tooth.
Typically found in groups of 3 to 18,
the teeth spring into human fighters
when planted in the soil (one fighter per
tooth). These fighters perform the tooth-
planter's bidding with unquestioning
loyalty for 1 hour or until slain. At the
end of the hour, the remaining fighters
and all their gear turn to dust. A tooth
must be buried at least 3 inches below
the surface, which typically requires a
full-round action. On the next round,
each buried tooth becomes a 1st-level
human fighter with the abilities and
equipment as a 1st-level NPC fighter as
shown on page 117 of the DUNGEON
MASTER'S Guide.
Lore: In Greek myth, the hero Cadmus
slew the Dragon of Ares and at the
direction of the goddess Athena planted
the foul monster's teeth in the soil.
Moments later the teeth sprouted into
armed men who proceeded to battle until
only five were left. These five warriors
joined with Cadmus to found the city of
Thebes. Later, King Aeetes of CoIchis
gave the hero Jason of the Argonauts a
series of ordeals in order to win the
Golden Fleece from him. One of these
was to sow the remaining teeth of the
dragon that Cadmus has slain and fight
the men that sprouted from them.

When you place incense of dreaming into
the cup and light it, the torch of revealing
casts violet light in a 10-foot radius and

These torches have a specific purpose:
the revelation of specific, magically
hidden objects within temples and
shrines devoted to Tharizdun.
The secret of manufacturing these
items has long since been lost to the

This is a hideous wooden pole decorated
with leering demon faces. One end of the
totem is sharpened to a point.
Initially created by Graz'zt for use in
battles against legions of spellcasting
enemies, the secret of creating these
powerful totems has long since been sold
to numerous demon lords, among then
Demogorgon. Nonetheless, the fantastic
cost of creating a totem of negation ensures
that they are not often used on the
battlefield.
A totem of negation is a one-use item that
activates as soon as it is thrust into the
ground. At this point, the totem creates a
60-foot-radius spread of dead magic, a
region in which no spell, spell-like
ability, or supernatural ability can
function. The dead magic zone persists as
long as the totem remains in place. An
active totem of negation remains anchored
in place via an effect identical to that
utilized by an immovable rod, except much
more powerful. This effect is the only
magical effect that can function inside of
a dead magic zone created by a totem of
negation. If a creature pushes against an
active totem of negation it must make a DC
3o Strength check to topple the totem–
doing so causes the dead magic zone to
end and leaves the totem of negation a
mundane totem pole. A totem of negation
can also be destroyed by damage, but it
has Hardness 20 and 600 hit points.
Regardless of how the totem is destroyed,
the dead magic z0ne ceases to function

Once every six days, its bearer can
blow the horn to call 6d10 human

almost transparent, and it comes in 1-foot
square sheets.
When placed on top of a document,
book, or map, vellum of copying
reproduces the text and images with
near-perfect clarity (a viewer can detect it
is a copy with a DC 30 Forgery
check).Vellum of copying can also copy the
text from magic scrolls and spellbooks,
though none of the actual magic is
transferred. Thus, the spells so
reproduced cannot be cast or memorized
from the vellum, but a spellcaster can use
read magic to discern their nature.
Copying a page of text with the vellum
requires a full-round action. A single
sheet of vellum can store up to fifty pages
of copied text, which the user can access
with a mental command. Once the
storage capacity has been reached, the
next attempt to copy text destroys the
vellum of copying. Copied text may not be
erased or replaced with new text. In

This abnormally large horn is crafted of

It no longer serves its main purpose (see
VESTIGE WORMS
While Kyuss lived as a mortal, he ever
craved more power, but as his power
grew, so to did his need to protect what
might and lore he had already gathered.
To ward himself against power-hungry
rivals and heroes bent on ending his
tyrannical rule, the mortal Kyuss
transformed the green worms that had
brought him so much success into
vessels for storing magical might.
Vestige worms, as these storage
vessels came to be known, can store a
wide variety of magical effects, but all
have certain similarities. They are living
creatures (Fine vermin, AC 10, 1 hp)
and can he killed, but they are also
magic items. There are three specific
types of vestige worms: spellworms,
loreworms, and vision worms. Bonding
with any of these creatures is
considered an evil act.
Successfully hosting a vestige worm
requires nothing more than placing the
worm next to unprotected flesh and
allowing it to burrow in (dealing 1 hit
point of damage). Once inside its host,
the vestige worm attempts to exert
control over its host. The host must
succeed at a DC 20 Will save or fall
under the sway of the worm's mental
control. If the saving throw is
successful, the host masters the worm
and can access its power. If the worm
gains control of the host, it forces the
host to seek out followers of Kyuss and
follow their will.
Vestige worms are almost never
bought and sold, and instead are found
only in long-forgotten places where
Kyuss held power. The listed values of
the vestige worms are included only to
provide the DM with a sense of their
relative power to other magic items and
their effect on character wealth by level.

individual, however, it functions as a
brass horn of Valhalla. When wielded by
an evil individual, it functions as a horn of
evil. If the wielder is both chaotic and
evil, it functions as a silver horn of
Valhalla, and its horn of evil effect is
usable three times per day, rather than
once.
The wailer also has innate taint that
cannot be cleansed. Anyone in contact
with it gains 1d2 points of depravity
every 24 hours, unless they succeed on a
DC 21 Will save.
Lore: This great horn, called the wailer
of Tharizdun, was once housed in a great
forgotten temple to the mad god. Its
primary purpose was to activate the
magic chambers found in the lowest level
of that shrine (DC 20 Knowledge

The wailer of Tharizdun can be destroyed
only by a good-aligned weapon, and only
after being soaked in the blood of a slain
demon for 1 hour. The individual who
delivers the shattering blow is instantly

can then be placed upon the wand scale
and absorbedwithin. Once absorbed, the
dragon can use the stored wand
normally without provoking
attacks of opportunity,
except that the dragon

wand. Each casting of
the spell drains one
charge from the wand

A walking staff allows
use of the following spells:
• Freedom of movement (1 charge)
• Longstrider (1 charge)
• Pass without trace (1 charge)
• Find the path (2 charges)
• Tree stride (2 charges)
Recently, walking staffs began
manifesting a dangerous and sometimes
fatal flaw. For reasons even the wisest
and most experienced druids don't
understand, the forces of nature have
taken a disagreeable view to the use of
these items. Rumors hint that lightning
sometimes strikes those druids who use
these staffs too often. Every time the
staffs wielder uses one of the staffs spells,
there is a 3% per charge cumulative
chance that she is struck by a 5d6
lightning bolt originating just above her
head that strikes only her (DC 14 Reflex
save for half). The chance cannot exceed
95%.
Once a lightning bolt strikes, the
druid's cumulative chance of having
another one strike her is cut in half
(but it accumulates as normal). A
specific druid's cumulative chance of
being struck when using a walking staff
remains with her, even if she should use
a different walking staff. For example, a
druid uses the staff’s longstrider spell and
has a 3% chance of being immediately
struck by lightning. Assuming lightning
doesn't strike, when she later uses the
staff's tree stride ability she then has a 9%
chance of being struck (3% carried over +
3% per charge of tree stride). If the druid
accumulates a 51% chance of being struck
before lightning strikes, her cumulative
chance of being struck drops to 25%. It
then begins to rise again whenever she
uses a walking staff, even if it is a different
one.

Lore: According to legend, two

South Dakota a white buffalo calf
approached two Lakota hunters and
changed its form into that of a beautiful
young Native American girl. One of the
warriors immediately had impure
thoughts about the young girl, who
smiled at him and gestured for him to
come forward. When he did so, a cloud
rose up around him and when it
dissipated, nothing remained but his
bones. When the other warrior saw this
he fell to his knees and began to pray. As
he prayed, the White Buffalo Calf
Woman told him to return to his people
and prepare for her coming in four days,
for she would bring the Lakota a great
gift. The hunter ran back to his people
and they prepared as they were asked to
do. Four days later, just as she had said, a
white buffalo calf came down from the
sky upon a cloud. As it stepped from the
cloud, the calf became the young girl
known as White Buffalo Calf Woman.
She spent four days among the Lakota

 Complete Dragon & Dungeon Magazine 3.5 Magic Items – Grafts
CHAPTER 5:
GRAFTS
Grafts are non-sentient body parts
that attach to a corporeal creature and
enhance it in some way. See the
FIEND FOLIO for complete rules on
grafts. The Graft Flesh feat is
reprinted here for your convenience.
Graft Flesh
[Item Creation]
You can apply a certain type of graft to
other living creatures or to yourself.
Prerequisite: Heal 10 ranks
Benefit: Choose a type of graft:
aboleth, beholder, fiendish, illithid,
pirate, undead, or yuan-ti. You must be an
aboleth to choose aboleth grafts. You
must be a fiend to choose fiendish grafts.
You must be an illithid to choose illithid
grafts. You must be a yuan-ti to choose
yuan-ti grafts. There are no additional
requirements for choosing beholder,
pirate, or undead grafts.
You can create grafts of your chosen
type and apply them to other living
creatures or to yourself. Creating a graft
takes one day for each 1,000 gp in its
price. To create a graft, you must spend
1/25 of the graft’s price in XP and use up
raw materials costing half of this price.
CLOCKWORK GRAFTS
KOLYARUT HAND
Price (Item Level): 86,400 gp (20th)
Body Slot: Hand
Activation: Standard (command)
Source: Dragon 315 (Planescape: The
Exiled Factions)
This dark gray hand-and-wrist
mechanism (equally likely to be the
right or left hand) enables the grafted
creature to make a vampiric touch
attack (as the spell) three times per
day. The touch attack deals 6d6 points
of damage, and the grafted creature
gains the same amount as temporary
hit points that last for 1 hour,

to fly at a speed of 60 feet (average
maneuverability)
Prerequisites: Graft Flesh, fly, creator

FIENDISH GRAFTS
FEARSOME EYE
Price (Item Level): Priceless
Body Slot: Eye
Activation: ––
Source: Dungeon 105 (Critical
Threats – Warduke – Hierarch of the
Horned Society)
This fiendish graft is bright red in color
and has a black iris.
The fearsome eye grants the grafted
creature the ability to continuously
see invisibility as the spell from a 20th-
level caster.
In addition, the grafted creature
gains a fear gaze attack. Anyone
within 30 feet of the grafted creature
that meets its eyes must make a Will
saving throw (DC 16) or be paralyzed
with fear for 1d4 rounds. The grafted
creature is immune to this gaze
attack.
FIENDISH HAND
Price (Item Level): 8,000 gp (11th)
Body Slot: Hand
Activation: ––
Source: Dungeon 108 (Iron Satyr)
The exceptionally long fingers of this
discolored (usually dirty green or red)
hand possess twice as many joints as
normal.
The hand grants a +2 profane bonus
to Craft checks that involve manual
dexterity (such as basketweavmg,
gemcuttmg, painting, and sculpting),
Disable Device checks, Forgery
checks, Open Lock checks, and
Sleight of Hand checks. The talons
that protrude from the fingertips also
grant a natural attack. Damage done
by this attack is equal to that granted
by a flexible arm, long arm, or
fiendish jaw (as detailed on table A2-1
in the FIEND FOLIO); a Medium
creature's fiendish hand inflicts 1d4
points of damage on a hit.
The owner of a fiendish hand
suffers a -6 penalty to Charisma-based
skill checks when interacting with
nonevil characters. Every day, the
owner must make a Will save (DC 15)
or succumb to temptation to perform
an evil act. Fiendish grafts are further
detailed in Appendix 2 of the FIEND
FOLIO.
Prerequisites: Graft Flesh, creator
must be a fiend.
PIRATE GRAFTS
From rollicking port towns to
secret cave cities, pirate havens
invariably feature a black market
where outlaw mages ply their wares.
A particularly ghoulish industry has
grown up around the idea of pirate
grafts.
EYE OF THE MURKY
DEEP
Price (Item Level): 30,000 gp (16th)
Body Slot: Eye
Activation: ––
Source: Dragon 318 (X Marks the
Spot: Setting Sail with Saber and
Spell)
This eye is clouded by a seaweed-tinted
cataract.
At any time that the eye is not
covered with an eye patch or similar
item, it interferes with the grafted
creature's eyesight. This interference
gives a -2 penalty to Spot and Search
checks. The graft must be uncovered
to be used, but in certain
circumstances, its benefits outweigh
its drawbacks. If all of the creature's
other eyes are covered, then it is
immune to gaze attacks. Furthermore,
this eye guarantees that the user will
always be able to see at a range of 20
feet when underwater, regardless of
the lighting conditions. Magical
darkness and blinding effects block
the eye's power as usual.
Prerequisites: Graft Flesh, create
water, darkvision.
GOLDEN DANCING

Spell)
This prosthesis is made of gold and
gleams brightly in moonlight.
The pegleg grants the grafted
creature the use of the Mobility and
Spring Attack feats even if the
creature does not normally meet their
prerequisites. It also grants a +10
competence bonus to Perform (dance)
skill checks.
Prerequisites: Graft Flesh, cat's grace,
freedom of movement.
HOT IRON HOOK
Price (Item Level): 36,000 gp (17th)
Body Slot: Hand
Activation: –– and Standard
(command)
Source: Dragon 318 (X Marks the
Spot: Setting Sail with Saber and
Spell)
This hook is constantly searing hot, as if
just pulled from a bed of glowing coals.
While the hot iron hook does not
damage the grafted creature, it does
deal 1d4 points of fire damage in
addition to normal damage. This graft
grants the pirate the ability to cast a
variation of mark of justice, once per
day, as a 9th-level cleric. This mark of
justice brands the victim with the
searing hook instead of writing upon
him, and the spell's injunction is
usually against some act of good, such
as informing on the pirate, disclosing
the location of buried treasure, or
deserting the ship.
Prerequisites: Graft Flesh, heat metal,
mark of justice.
LEG OF SQUID
Price (Item Level): 40,000 gp (17th)
Body Slot: Leg
Activation: ––
Source: Dragon 318 (X Marks the

tentacles.
The tentacles are only partially
effective in supporting the weight of
the grafted creature, whose base move

is halved because of the uneven gait.
The leg of squid adds a +4 to the grafted
creature's grapple bonus, grants the
Improved Grapple feat (even if the
grafted creature does not meet the
normal prerequisites), and grants a
+10 competency bonus on Swim
checks.
Prerequisites: Graft Flesh, Evard's
black tentacles.
MUTINEER'S EYE
Price (Item Level): 4,000 gp (8th)
Body Slot: Eye
Activation: ––
Source: Dragon 318 (X Marks the
Spot: Setting Sail with Saber and
Spell)
This eye graft is a boon to
turncoats, backstabbers, and others
who strike when their targets are
unprepared. In keeping with this
graft's traitorous nature, the
recipient's other eye is weakened,
causing the creature to suffer a
permanent -2 penalty on Spot checks.
When the owner of this graft makes a
sneak attack, the eye allows it to see
its target's weaknesses more clearly,
adding +1d6 to her sneak attack
damage. Those with no sneak attack
ability do not benefit from this graft.
Prerequisites: Graft Flesh, bestow
curse, true strike.
OSSIFIED PEGLEG
Price (Item Level): 36,000 gp (17th)
Body Slot: Leg
Activation: Standard (command)
Source: Dragon 318 (X Marks the
Spot: Setting Sail with Saber and
Spell)
This hideous bone pegleg fools
undead, granting the grafted creature
a continuous hide from undead effect,
which may be suppressed or
reactivated as a standard action. In
addition, the grafted creature can use
command undead once per day, as a
5th-level cleric.
Prerequisites: Graft Flesh, command
undead, hide from undead.

Body Slot: Hand
Activation: ––
Source: Dragon 318 (X Marks the

spend their days among ships'
rigging. A sailor's hook grants a +5

SPYGLASS EYE
Price (Item Level): 25,000 gp (15th)
Body Slot: Eye
Activation: ––
Source: Dragon 318 (X Marks the
Spot: Setting Sail with Saber and
Spell)
The spyglass eye allows the graft
recipient to ignore the normal -1
penalty per 10 feet of distance that
applies to Spot checks. The eye works
out to a distance of 150 feet, after that,
the cumulative -1 penalty per to feet
begins accruing normally.
Prerequisites: Graft Flesh, guidance,
crafter must have 1 rank in Spot.
TEAKWOOD PEGLEG
Price (Item Level): 12,550 gp (13th)
Body Slot: Leg
Activation: ––
Source: Dragon 318 (X Marks the
Spot: Setting Sail with Saber and
Spell)
A favorite among pirate officers,
the buoyant teakwood pegleg grants the
grafted creature a +5 competence
bonus on Swim checks. The pegleg
also adds to the creature's stability
and grants a +5 on Balance checks.
Finally, a secret, watertight
compartment is built into it, large
enough to contain items such as a
rolled piece of letter-size parchment
or a dagger. It requires a DC 20
Search check to find and open the
pegleg's secret compartment.
Prerequisites: Graft Flesh, cat's grace.
 Complete Dragon & Dungeon Magazine 3.5 Magic Items – Magic Face Paints
CHAPTER 6:
MAGIC FACE
PAINTS
Face paints use the Craft Wondrous
Item feat, but they act in some ways
like potions: They are single-use
items that offer effects of limited
durations. Making the specific paints
for each face paint design requires a
particular spell or spells. Applying
face paint requires a Craft (painting)
skill check, made either by the wearer
or an ally, while the associated
Difficulty Check increases according
to the power of the desired magical
effect. Failing the Craft check uses up
the paint but grants it no benefit.
Once properly applied, a simple
sound or gesture (and willful desire to
use it) activates the magic. It takes 10
minutes to apply face paint to a clean
face. (The paints cannot be laid on top
of one another). The user cannot
apply the paints on himself if he has
no mirror or other reflective surface.
The applied paint remains potent for
24 hours or until its power is
triggered.
BADGER PROTECTOR

Painted in an elaborate likeness of a
badger's head, the wearer's face bears a
sigil of protection on the forehead.
Clawing the ground with both
hands conjures a dire badger capable
of going into rage once it takes
damage in combat. The badger
protector can carry its caster plus 40
pounds and exists for 5 rounds or
until dismissed, when it vanishes in a
wisp at-smoke.
Applying the face paint requires a

causing poison thorns to grow from
the wearer's body. Anyone who
grapples with the wearer takes 1d6

unabashedly indulges itself in tongue-
in-cheek fantasy. Genies disappear
into Aladdin-style lamps when slain,
vampires cry "bluh" in battle, and
your heroes sport names such as Bohb
the Archmage and Dogwaddle the
Barbarian. Much like many strategy
games, you must build up your home
base and assemble armies of ever
better troops, but the difference lies
in the oddly named heroes. The
power of massed troops is undeniable,
but it simply doesn't compare to a
single man strutting up to a horde of
dragons and killing three or more
with a single swing of his mighty
hammer. Heroes are the true meat of
this game.
The expansion pack, A Gathering
Storm, finds five such heroes faced
with the menace of the wizard/druid
Hexis, who is conjuring magic so
powerful that it forms a storm that
threatens the land. The Five set out
on their own quests to recover
artifacts that together grant them the
power to defeat the mad druid. These

however; they are sets with
complimentary enchantments that

Table 7-1: Archmage’s Apparel
APPAREL
An archmage–a true archmage–is a
rarity. The archmage strives to be as
good in all schools as a specialist is in
his one field. He does not heed the
siren call to quick power by
specializing, as that would cut him off
from certain aspects of magic. The
Archmage's Apparel embodies this
all-encompassing view but shifts its
focus. Instead of focusing on the
schools of magic. These items each
focus on one race's outlook on
wizardry. Together these items don't
grant an understanding of all magical
schools but lace the bearer's magic
with flavor from many races. There
are five items in the Archmage's
Apparel.
ANGELFEATHER CLOAK
None know if the Angelfeather Cloak
is truly made of angel's feathers, but it
certainly looks the part. A large,
flowing garment woven entirely from
thick white feathers, the cloak
sprouts a pair of peaks near the
shoulders, making it seem more like a
pair of wings when worn open.
Embodying the halfling love of travel
and discovery, the cloak tries to
impart some of that freedom to its
wearer by letting her travel light.
Deflection Bonus: The bonus
granted to armor class is a deflection
bonus that increases with each item
of Archmage Apparel worn.
Deep Pockets: The cloak has a pair
of interior pockets sewn inside it.
Each of these pockets functions as a
may pluck a feather from it and use it
as a quill that supplies a never-ending
supply of ink. This quill only
functions for the person wearing the
cloak. The cloak is able to provide a
limitless supply of quills for this
ability.
Spell Resistance: The cloak
discovers within its wearer the power
to resist hostile magic, granting him
spell resistance based on his
Intelligence modifier.
Material Substitution: To ease
the hassle of managing spell
components, the wearer of the cloak
can transform a plucked feather into
the material components for any spell
being cast, as long as the components
cost no more than 1 gp. This ability
only works for the person wearing
the cloak; he cannot provide
components to other spellcasters. The
cloak is able to provide a limitless
supply of quills for this ability,
Greater Substitution: The cloak
can now provide material
components for any spell, regardless
of the cost. However, rarer and more
valuable components are more
difficult to produce, and take a toll on
the wizard summoning them. For
every 10 gp worth of components
summoned, or fraction thereof, the
caster suffers 1 point of nonlethal
damage. Because the cloak's feather
transforms into the needed
component only in the midst of
casting, valuable materials cannot be
summoned and then sold or used for
any purpose other than as a spell's
material component. If the wizard
does not complete the spell for

ARCHMAGE'S HAT
The Archmage's Hat sports a fashion
so stereotypical that almost none use
it anymore. A tall cone of a hat, this
blue felt cap is speckled with large
golden stars. Despite its ridiculous
appearance, however, the power
within remains undeniable.
Containing an unquenchable thirst
for knowledge and a fierce passion to
achieve, the Archmage's Hat embodies
the human essence.
Intelligence: The Archmage's Hat
adds this enhancement bonus to the
wearer's Intelligence.
Skill Pool: The skill pool is a
reflection of the amazing learning
capacity of humanity. This is a pool of
skill ranks that is based on the
wearer's (enhanced) Intelligence
modifier, and it refreshes every day.
The wearer may assign these skill
ranks to any skill as a free action,
including cross-class skills, and use
the modified skill rank for one skill
check. The wearer must still pay the
normal cross-class costs but must
treat a skill as cross-class only if it
fails to appear on any of his classes'
skill lists. Skill pool points assigned
can exceed the character's normal
maximum ranks. Ranks disappear
after one use.
Mental Might: By taking a full-
round action to cast a spell, a wizard
wearing this hat may apply the full
might of his mind, applying 150% or
200% of his Intelligence modifier to
the DC of a spell (instead of simply
adding his Intelligence modifier),
Note that a spellcaster that uses an
attribute other than Intelligence to
power his spells (such as a bard or
sorcerer) wearing the Archmages Hat
gains no benefit from this power.

RING OF FLARES
The Ring of Flares is an intricately
crafted band of interwoven ruby and
gold, all arranged in overlapping star-
burst patterns. Its craftsmanship is
peerless, and the magically skilled can
sense its interlocking magical
matrixes crafted with equal amounts
of skill. The intricacy of both the
ring's physical makeup and it's
enchantments embody the dwarven
love of fine craftsmanship and their
unique way of approaching magic like
metal–as something to be shaped.
Spell Storing: The Ring of Flares
can store spells just as a ring of spell
storing, holding 10 levels worth of
spells per item of the apparel
collected.
Spell Crafting: In addition to
storing spells, the ring can also hold
the tools of magical manipulation:
metamagic feats. A wizard may store
any metamagic feat he knows in the
ring. Each feat takes up a number of
spell slots equal to three times its
level adjustment, but thereafter
applies to every spell stored within
the ring, without adjusting the spell
level.
Feats stored in this manner can be
removed from the ring and replaced
with a spell or another feat at any
time. When the wearer loses apparel
and thus loses levels of stored spells,
he may choose which spells or feats
are lost until the ring stores an
appropriate amount of levels.
STAFF OF DISRUPTION
Six slightly twisted feet of oak
tapped with a golden band and a
small, clear crystal, the Staff of
Disruption stands out only in how
typical it appears. This staff's
appearance is deceiving, however, as
would only be appropriate for an
artifact forged by gnomes.
Lingering Distractions: Any time
the staff's wielder casts a spell with
the target entry, the wielder can force

save with the same DC as the spell
cast. For spells that do not normally
allow saves, calculate the DC
according to the level of spell cast.
Failing this save fills the target's mind
with a continual stream of phantom
images and sounds, almost as if he
were daydreaming.
This disrupts concentration and
erodes the will, imposing the noted
penalty against all Concentration
checks and Will saves. Additionally,
affected spellcasters must make a
Concentration check (DC of 15 +
spell level) each time they cast a spell
or lose the spell. The penalty lasts a
number of rounds equal to the
wielder's Intelligence bonus
(minimum 1 round). This is a mind-
affecting phantasm effect. This power
has no effect on creatures that
successfully resist the spell using
spell resistance. Those who succeed
in a standard saving throw against the
original spell still must succeed in the
Will save against this effect to resist,
however.
Scramble Magic: In addition to
lacing the wielder's spells with
illusory side effects, the Staff of
Disruption can transform spell energy
into sheer distraction. The wielder
must place a spell into the staff. This
can be any spell the wielder can cast,
but it must be cast by the wielder, not
a scroll or surrogate caster. The staff
can hold one spell of any level per
item of the apparel collected.
Once so charged, the wielder need
only make a touch attack with the
staff against an opponent to loose the
energy within. On a successful strike,
the staff discharges the transformed
magic and attempts to scramble the
target's natural resistances, lowering
its spell resistance or elemental
resistance by 2 or 5 points per level of
spell stored within the staff. These
effects last for one day, but the target
creature can resist with a Will save.
The DC of this save is as if saving
against a spell of the same level that

HARMONIC CHAIN
As befitting an item of bards, the
Harmonic Chain is as much a piece of
art as it is useful equipment. A master-
fully crafted suit of chainmail, the
Harmonic Chain is laced through with
groupings of chimes. The links of the
armor drip with them, and even the
motion of breathing causes them to
tap against one another in an ethereal
tinkling of bells.
Magic Armor: The Harmonic Chain
is a +4 chain shirt that imposes a -6
circumstance penalty to all Move
Silently checks.
Denouement: Instead of ending a
song and letting its dramatic echo
continue to reverberate in the minds
of others for a time, the bard can let
the ringing of his armor continue the
melody, letting it fade out gradually,
and extending the effects of his
music. With this power, the effects of
a bard's bardic music last an
additional 3 rounds after the bard
stops singing.
Terrifying Clatter: The chimes
clang together frightfully when the
bard is struck by an enemy,
striking grating chords that
reverberate in the backs of the eyes
and inside teeth. Anytime the bard
is hit by a melee or ranged weapon
while flat-footed, fighting
defensively, using the Combat
Expertise feat, or using the total
defense action it causes such a din
that all foes within 30 feet must
succeed at a Will save (DC 10 + the
wearer's bard class level +
Charisma modifier) or suffer a -3
morale penalty to all attack and
damage rolls until the end of the
combat. This is a sonic, mind-
affecting attack.
Spell Interruption: Whenever the
bard uses his countersong ability, the
chimes in the armor add a powerful
harmony that disrupts all spellcasters
within 3o feet. While friendly targets
may still replace their saving throws
with the bard's Perform check, hostile
spellcasters attempting to cast a spell
must make a Concentration check
that exceeds the bard's Perform check
or lose the spell.
NECKLACE OF MUSES
This necklace is a large and
elaborate piece of jewelry. Its fine
chain links are each intricately carved
with stories portrayed in pictograph,
and many of the charms that hang
from it are hollow and filled with
small scrolls of stories and songs.
Perhaps the most valued thing the
necklace holds is inspiration. In
addition to gut-bursting comedies,
heart-rending tragedies, and the most
inspiring of epics, the necklace is
rumored to hold the essence of story
crafting itself, and bards who have
worn it swear that the fire of creation

SORCERER’S
REGALIA
Wizards are known for their props.
Few can picture a wizard without a
staff, magical robe, and crystal ball.
For a wizard, this only makes sense;
their study of spellbooks and magical
theory leads them to study other
magical devices as well,
Yet sorcerers are different. Their
magic is in the blood, not the book.
Sorcerers understand their magic by
living it, not studying it. And the
artifacts of power dedicated to their
brand of magic reflect this more
instinctual bent. The Sorcerer's

and woven magical paraphernalia, but

FLAME OF CHAOS
The Flame of Chaos is an ever-
burning puff of sheer radiance. No
larger than the size of a man's hand,
this brilliant flame dances too
frenetically for normal fire and blasts
through all the colors of the spectrum
with unbound intensity.
When found, it typically rests in a
brazier of some kind, but reports
never agree on what this container
looks like. Some claim it is a stout
iron censor with thick chains; others
say it burns within a lantern.
The Flame of Chaos is the
embodiment of magical power, a
small portion of the energy that fuels
arcane magic, condensed and
contained.
Random Metamagic: To use the
flame, a sorcerer must wield it in
hand and take a full-round action to
cast a spell. The flame adds different
metamagic feats at random to a spell
depending on how many items of the
regalia the caster possesses.
Metamagic feats granted by the Flame
of Chaos that cannot be applied to the
spell being cast have no effect on the
spell. If this means that the use of the
Flame has no effect on the spell at all,
the Flame is still considered used for
the day.
Without the Necklace of Balance, a
caster can only use either the Flame of
Chaos or the Scales of Ice on any given

SCALES OF ICE
The Scales of Ice appear to be an ice
sculpture of a small balance.
However, it is no mere sculpture: the
deposit is a fully functioning scale. Its
trays swing on perfectly flexible ice
chains, and its arms tip with the
slightest weight. Ice slides along ice
without friction.
Until it is first used, and thus
attuned to a new wielder, the Scales of
Ice radiate a bitter, biting cold. They
are uncomfortable to be near, and
nearly unbearable 1o hold. However,
once its magic joins with that of a
wielder, its iciness subsides and
becomes soothingly cool.
Extra Spell Slots: To use the
scales, a sorcerer must wield it in
hand and take a full-round action to
cast a spell. The scales carefully
measure the amount of magical
energy used while casting a spell,
determining the absolute minimum
needed to power the effect and pre-
venting any magical waste. This
increases the efficiency of the caster's
spells, effectively granting him extra
spell slots.
When used, the scales grant an
additional number of spell slots. The
sorcerer's Charisma modifier deter-
mines the number of extra slots.
These extra spell slots are available
only while casting with the scales in
hand. Spell slots can be combined to
cast higher level spells (if the sorcerer
knows and can cast them). For
instance, a sorcerer with 10 extra slots
and access to 5th-level spells could
cast a 5th-level spell, a 3rd-level spell,
and two 1st-level spells (o-level spells
count as half a slot). The number of
extra slots is renewed each day, and
once a sorcerer has used the scales in
a day, the scales fail to function for
any other sorcerer that might try to
use them until the next day.
Without the Necklace of Balance, a
caster can only use either the Flame of
Chaos or the Scales of Ice on any given
day. Once one item is used, the other
will not function for that wielder

until the following day. Each item

effect as per the spell cast by a 20th-

NECKLACE OF BALANCE
Between blinding light and bitter
cold sits the Necklace of Balance, an
innocuous disk hanging from a
simple cord. Its appearance changes
from viewer to viewer, and sometimes
even viewing to viewing. Some see a
yin yang symbol, certain documented
accounts describe an intricately
carved serpentine dragon, and others
claim it is nothing more than a flat
gray disk. Its subjective nature makes
study difficult, if not impossible, and
the sorcerers who obtain it often care
more about how to use it than the
philosophical nature of its physical
structure. Perhaps the most
noticeable power the necklace
imparts is the ability to use both the
Flame of Chaos and the Scales of Ice
simultaneously, benefiting from
increased spell efficiency and wild
bursts of power. However, the
necklace has a few abilities of its own.
Balance: True to its name, the
Necklace of 'Balance provides a
competence bonus to all Balance
checks. This bonus increases with
more items of the Sorcerer's Regalia.
Will Bonus: In addition to
granting physical stability, the
necklace grants a balanced mind as
well, granting a bonus of +2, +4, or +6
to all Will saves depending on how
many items of the regalia the wearer
possesses.
Balance Ice and Flame: When a
sorcerer possesses all three items of
the Sorcerer's Regalia and wears the
necklace, she can use both the Scales
of Ice and Flame of Chaos each once per
day.

POISON
QUALITIES
Creating a magic poison is similar
to creating a potion. However, their
magic enhancements more closely
resemble magic weapon
enhancements in that they give the
venom additional abilities that
usually can stack with one another.
The person attempting to create the
magic poison must have the Brew
Potion feat and know all the spells
listed as requirements for the
properties he wishes to add.
The formula for calculating the cost
of breaing a potion is 25 gp x spell
level x caster level. Use this formula
for determining the cost for brewing
a magic poison, but replace the 25 gp
figure with the cost of one does of the
type of poison to be enhanced (see
page 297 of the DUNGEON MASTER’S
GUIDE). For example, brewing a dose
of gripping ungol dust costs 1,000 gp
(cost of one does of ungol dust) x 2
(gripping equals a 2nd-level spell) x 3
(its 3rd-level), or 6,000 gp.

Contagious poison seeps into the
skin of the victim in addition to
wherever else in the body it attacks.
By inundating itself in the host body
this way, the poison turns the victim’s
sweat and touch into a weaker version
of itself.
Once contagious poison affects a
victim, whether by its Initial
exposure or the secondary effects, the
venom seeps into his body. While it
deals no further damage and does not
prevent recovery, it taints the victim
and effectively turns his touch into a
contact poison. The poison affects the
next creature the victim touches with
bare flesh. The contagious poison can
only affect one additional creature in
this way. The poison transmitted does
not have the contagious quality, but it
has any other magic qualities of the
original poison.

This property can only be added to
poison already enhanced with the
repeating property. Destructive
poison is among the most vicious
kinds of poison available. This
lingering attack kills its victims
slowly and leaves many survivors
crippled.
Treat destructive venom as normal
repeating venome. However, should
the poison manage to reduce an
ability score to 0 (and that doesn’t kill
the victim), the poison begins to
convert the ability damage into
permanent ability drain at its normal
damage rate. For example, a dose of
gripping repeating destructive insanity
mist that has reduced its victim to 0
Wisdom through ability damage
begins to convert that damage to
permanent ability drain at a rate of
2d6 points of Wisdome per day.
Victims surviving this poison still

Gripping poison seizes a victim and
refuses to let go. Once ingested, this
poison works ever deeper into the
body, making it harder to purge.
Poisons with this quality deal no
additional damage, but the time
required to recover from them is
significantly longer. Victims exposed
to this variety of poison must make a
Fortitude save and another save 1
minute later. However, if either of
these saves fail, the poison works its
way into the victim’s body. Once
embedded, the victim cannot recover
from the damage the poison dealt
until purged of the venom.
Gripping poison differs from most
other qualities in that it has degrees.
The number of successful Fortitide
saves the victim must make in order
to overcome a gripping poison equals
the number of degrees a poison has in
gripping. The victim makes one
Fortitude save per day, and once he
makes a number of successful
Fortitude saves equal to the poison’s
gripping degree, he is free of the
effect and can begin to heal normally.
A poison may not have more than
five degrees in this quality. To
determine the cost of enhancing a
poison with multiple degrees of this
quality, simply multiply the cost of
the gripping poison by the number of
degrees desired.
Neuralize poison does not
automatically remove a gripping
poison from the victim, but it does

body just like gripping poison, but it
digs much deeper, seeping into the

Activation: ––
Weight: 50 lbs.
Source: Dungeon 150 (Quoth the
Raven)
This embedded component
replaces a warforged’s lower torso and
legs with a construct version of an
arachnid form giving the warforged
an appearance not unlike a drider.
The chassis gives its wearer a climb
speed of 20 feet and gives him a 30-
foot enhancement bonus to his base
land speed. In addition the chassis
grants him an additional attack per
round at his highest attack bonus
with one of the arachnid’s legs that
inflicts 1d8 bludgeoning damage
(plus the warforged’s Strength
modifier). This extra attack does not
stack with any magical effect that
grants extra attacks (such as a speed
weapon or the haste spell).
Lore: These experimental
components were developed for elite
warforged scout units in hopes of
giving them an edge over the Valenar
elves’ master of stealth warfare.
Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item,

Possessing smooth lines and a sleek but
powerful look, this mithral visor–of the
kind commonly found on helmets of full
plate armor–bears two vertical eye slits
connected by a single horizontal crossbar,
giving it the look of two crosses touching
in the middle.
Battle visors gave warforged
commanders of the Last War the
ability to quickly assess magical
threats on the battlefield.
Lowering the visor and locking it
into place activates its powers. With
the visor locked in place, you gain the
ability to discern magical auras and
threats, as greater arcane sight. You can
also see invisible, as the spell. Finally,
you can automatically see any
abjuration effect with a variable
effect–thus, if a
warrior is shrouded
in protection from
elements, you know
which energy
type he is
protected
against (this
extends to spell
immunity and
other variable
abjuration effects
as well).

Upgrade: Warforged Magic Items)
This ceramic face-plate is simple but
striking in design: it is blue on one side
and red on the other and the mask's
crafted expression contorts from smile to
frown.
The mask is fashioned with four
short chains of an unknown alloy that
hold the mask to the face of a
warforged. Despite its seemingly
fragile construction, the mask is
extraordinarily resistant to damage
and has a hardness of 10 and 35 hit
points.
Once per day, the warforged can
undergo an astounding change for up
to 1 hour. Its upper body splits in two,
with each half then reforming into a
complete head, set of arms, and torso.
At the same time the lower body of
the warforged grows broader and
sprouts a third leg. This
transformation requires 1 complete
round, during which time the
warforged can take no other actions
(although it can defend itself
normally).
The clone mask can only be used by
a warforged with a base attack bonus
of at least +6. Although the warforged
has two heads while the mask is
active, it still only has one mind and
can still only take
the normal
number of actions
per round. If one
of the
warforged's
heads gets
decapitated (as
from a vorpal
weapon) the
warforged
immediately
reverts to
normal form
and is stunned
for 2d4 rounds.
When the
command word is
The Clone Mask spoken and the
transformation is complete
the warforged gains the following
effects:
• When making a full attack
action, the warforged may
make one extra attack. The
attack uses the wielder's full
base attack bonus, plus any
modifiers appropriate to the
situation. (This benefit is
cumulative with similar
effects, such as a haste spell.)
• The warforged gains an
additional 2d10 temporary hit
points.
• The warforged may grapple
with one opponent without
penalty and may attempt to
grapple a second (although
 Complete Dragon & Dungeon Magazine 3.5 Magic Items – Warforged Magic Items
successfully doing so incurs all
the normal penalties).
• The warforged cannot be
flanked.
• The warforged gains the
powerful build trait. The
physical stature of the
modified warforged lets it
function in many ways as if it
were one size category larger.
Whenever the warforged is
subject to a size modifier or
special size modifier for an
opposed check (such as during
grapple checks, bull rush
attempts, and trip attempts),
the warforged is treated as one
size larger if doing so is
advantageous to it. The
warforged is also considered to
be one size larger when
determining whether a
creature's special attacks based
on size (such as improved grab
or swallow whole) can affect it.
The modified warforged can
use weapons designed for a
creature one size larger
without penalty. However, its
space and reach remain those
of a creature of its actual size.
The benefits of this trait stack
with the effects of powers,
abilities, and spells that change
the subject's size category.
• +2 bonus on all Listen and Spot
checks.
• The warforged gains a +4
stability bonus when resisting
a trip attack.

Medium creatures of his choice may
board the chariot and are immune to
fire damage for as long as they remain
aboard. In addition, all weapons gain

the Chariot of Sustarre reverts to its

again for one week.
If the summoner wishes, he may
end the chariot's duration early and
detonate the vehicle as a delayed blast
fireball (dealing 13d6 fire damage with
a DC 20 Reflex save to halve this

terminates in a black bulb.
Kings covet these fast and agile
ships for their ability to scout and

overland speed of 30 miles per hour.
The tail bulb constantly secretes
acidic goo, and once every 1d4 rounds

the tail can convulse and fling a ball
of acid. Only the vessel's captain or
his designated gunner may direct the
tail to attack, and doing so is a
standard action. The goo sphere has a
range of 200 feet and explodes into a
10-foot radius burst, dealing 8d6
points of acid damage. A successful
DC 15 Reflex save halves this damage.
A creature that fails its save suffers

Rigged with sails emblazoned with
flames and bright sun motifs, this galley
sails over sand instead of water.
A caliph who possesses, a dune yacht
has no need for a desert stronghold,
as his vessel serves as a formidable
mobile base of operations. If removed
from sand a dune yacht is unable to
move under its own power, just as if a
sea-going vessel ran aground. Dune
yachts are stronger than average
waterborne galleys, possessing 120 hp
and hardness 8 per 10-foot section of
hull. The yacht itself has fire
resistance 5 and it grants this
protection to all those aboard.
Furthermore, every passenger need
consume only half the normal
amount of water while on board.
Finally, an efreeti is bound to the
Dune Yacht
helm of every dune yacht. Once per
week, the efreeti can be called forth
to serve the captain of the yacht. The
efreeti understands and follows the
captain's orders for 1 hour before
departing. If the efreeti is ever forced
to grant a wish, the dune yacht burns to
the keel and the efreeti is freed from
its bondage after it grants the wish.
Note that because of the efreeti's
hatred of servitude, it always attempts
to twist and corrupt the intent of the
wish.

a roiling bed of grubs, caterpillars, and
worms each the size of a grown man's arm
that magically maintains the shape of a
10-foot-by-10 foot flatbed raft that can
support up to 500 pounds.
This disgusting vehicle travels at a
speed of 30 feet per round, floating
roughly 3 feet above the ground at all
times and remains level. The raft is
directed by spoken command. Like a
carpet of flying, as long as the speaker is
within voice range the raft obeys,
whether the speaker is standing on
the raft or not. In addition to
directional movement, the raft can be
commanded to disperse into swarm
form once per day. In swarm form it
cannot carry anything and ceases to
act as a vehicle, but it gains all the
properties of a centipede swarm (see
page 238 of the MONSTER
MANUAL). The raft can
remain in this form for
up to 1 hour before
returning to raft form.
In raft form, the vermin
vehicle has 31 hp, but
gains hardness 10. If
killed in either form, the
raft is destroyed. The
raft heals 4 hp per day

maximum of 21 hp.

The bowsprit is not flexible and can

Nothing is more damaging to a
vessel than a hole in one of its hull
sections. This magic stone, attached
to keel of the boat, provides a limited
amount of protection against such a
calamity. In the event of a destroyed
hull section, the hull field generates a
wall of force over that section,
preventing damage to neighboring
sections. This seals the hole so water
does not enter the ship. While the
wall of force is in place, that section of
hull is treated as undamaged. Should
an adjacent section be destroyed, the
wall of force is unaffected. The wall
remains in place for 1d4 days at
which time the section is considered
destroyed unless repaired, causing all
the usual effects (note that repairing a
ingle destroyed hull section on the
ship while at sea requires two DC 20

Installed at the ship's helm, this

Considered a great boon by any

A wakeportal is a mauve, teardrop-
shaped mass of crystal the size of a man’s
fist. The crystal’s tapered side has razor-
sharp facets and terminates in a needle
point, while the opposite side is polished
smooth. The crystal flickers faintly with
an inner light.
When a wakeportal is pressed
against a ship’s figurehead or prow, it
slithers to life and embeds itself deep
in the wood so that the smooth
surface looks like an embedded
gemstone. Once the wakeportal is
embedded in a ship, the captain of
that ship may activate it once per day;
doing so requires 10 minutes of
concentration, during which the ship
must be under full sail. During this
period of concentration, the ship’s
wake begins sparkling and flashing
with mauve light. A heavy tang of salt

darkens. Things bubble up from the
depths, bits of flesh and oily streaks
oozing across the surface. The stench
thickens. The waters turn foul, as if
some great beast disgorged all the
filth and rubbish ever thrown into the
sea in one great heave. As the sky
takes on a ghastly hue of red, the
clouds swirl and spin with dreadful
violence and mauve lightning lances
across the heavens. After 10 minutes,
bolts of lightning arc up from the
ship’s wake to strike its sails, mast,
and rigging. An instant later, the
wakeportal tears open a gateway
between the ship’s current location
and the Abyssian Ocean, transporting
the ship, its crew and cargo, and the
water (and anything therein) in a 60-
foot radius around the ship into the
Abyss. The exact location the ship
travels to on the Abyssian Ocean is
random, but within 1d4 days of its
intended location. Activating a
