[QUOTE="eris404, post: 2044596, member: 5338"] I've been thinking about posting this for a while and Crothian's thread inspired me to finally do it. :) I'm making a campaign world (D&D 3.5) where some types of magic items are unique. In the history of this world, most magic items were made in the past and only recently has the art of creating magic items been rediscovered. So, most magic items are found by plundering ancient cities and ruins. "Disposable" items like potions, scroll and wands are easy to create and would not be unique, but "modern-day" creators haven't quite perfected making magic weapons, armor and certain wondrous items. So, these kinds of items are more likely to be one-of-a-kind and probably made by a famous and/or legendary creator. For example, each +1 short sword might have a special minor ability, quirk, personality, purpose, (and especially) history. So, I'm looking for interesting magic items. If you like the idea, post your ideas here. Name them and describe them, but you don't necessarily have to "stat" them out. Power level doesn't matter, but I'd prefer useful items over powerful or jokey ones. Give them neat abilities, personalities if you want, or drawbacks if that's your kind of thing. Since I am also borrowing some ideas from AU, item history, the name of the creator or last owner, etc., would be very helpful, too. Thanks for looking at the thread. I hope we see some good responses! [/QUOTE]
