Just wondering if anyone knows of ways players can dicern the purpose, use, or other very specific aspects of a mundane item? For example, my players just nicked a set of keys from an NPC. They arent important to the plot, just the keys to this guy's house, a couple chests, and couple doors...

My players just went into an underground fightclub where people watch and gamble on exotic beasts facing off. The players noted they are interested in participating in gambling. I was just going to run the fights as combats, but I just realized that since this city is littered with places like...

I am going to have a copper dragon and a family of eccentric dwarves have a prank war (possibly spanning multiple dwarf generations). The plan is for the dwarves to try roping the party into being part of one of their pranks. The problem is that I realize I am not very experienced with pranks...

My players are in a world where horses are available everywhere, but every nation has its traditional unique mounts. The gnomes who they will be visiting soon are very much more likely to use large deer and elk (which they mount with large transport howdahs) or giant foxes (medium sized foxes)...

This is a magic item collection that I have been trying to make work for a while now. I am about to introduce it into a game for some play testing, but I was hoping to get a bit of balance review from my friends here at ENworld. The idea of the item is a cool way for having weapon versatility...

I have seen many people across the internet as equally disappointed in starship building as I am, but I have yet to find any kind of real re-work either official or 3rd party (including simple homebrew). I'm wondering if anyone has seen any good fixes for the starship building? And if there...

I hope everyone likes these items as much as me and my group. If anyone has suggestions on making them more clear or more balanced, I would love to hear! Band of Endless Energy Wondrous Item, rare This metal twisted torque is enchanted to free the wearer of limits of physical exhaustion. When...

Manifest of Circles Wondrous Item, very rare You may name the coordinates of a location, which will activate a magic circle spell to the nearest magic circle to the given coordinates. The unless the coordinates are exactly on a circle, the nearest circle might be on a different plane, such as a...

My wife and I are prepping a new campaign with some pretty heavy fairy tale themes. We also have some plans involving trapping and banishing souls. Before we start creating a bunch of spells and magic items, we were hoping to clarify what is already out there. Thank you in advance! Spells...

Jump Stone Wondrous Item, rare Jump stones are not attuned to individuals, but to each other. A stone may be attuned to up to 9 other stones at any given time (so 10 stones may all be attuned to each other, though the other stones attuned to one stone need not be the other stones attuned to...

I am trying to compile a list of races that are a bit underpowered, and ways to make them more appealing from a mechanical perspective. I tend to play with and DM for players who look at their race and say "why would I choose this one?" Many of them would like to play them for roleplay, but the...

Soul of Snow Wondrous Item, ? This 3in ice crystal has a tiny burning flame ins its center. The ice never melt either from the inside or outside, and is only mildly cold to the touch. When you place this into a pile of snow or shaved ice, you may perform a 1 hour ritual and a 1ft tall golem will...

What exactly makes a magic item an artifact? Is it how powerful the item is? Or is it merely that ther is only one of it? The axe found in MoP that gives bonuses against wood, is that a rare magic item based on its abilities? Or is it technically an artifact because it is the only of its kind...

The tldr is: Would a mirror of life trapping and a bag of holding create a gate if one were placed in the other? Placing a bag of holding inside an extradimensional space created by a handy haversack, portable hole, or similar item instantly destroys both items and opens a gate to the Astral...

I'm thinking of having my party find this interesting... weapon on one of their adventures. Probably one where there are just a ton of mimics everywhere, so the fact that this thing turns out to be a mimic shouldn't be too much of a surprise. My question is if it seems balanced, and if there is...
