[QUOTE="wolfsnap, post: 1862121, member: 26135"] Was scrolling back through the forum and thought to add a couple that I've used in my games: Scroll: Seen Servant This looks to be a scroll of the spell "Unseen Servant", however careful examination will reveal that it was scribed in error and that part of the spell is missing. It can be learned as a normal spell. When cast, it acts exactly like the spell "unseen servant" except that the servant which is conjured is visible to everyone. Unfortunately, the servant is an extraplanar being of such unspeakable horror that anyone who gazes upon it must make a Will save with a -10 penalty or run from the thing in abject terror. The servant will of course follow the caster, attepting to receive instructions from it's master. The servant looks different every time, so one cannot become inured to its appearance. There is a 1% chance that anyone falling prey to the terror of the servant will try to gouge out their own eyes rather than continue to look at the thing. However, if the caster is blind or blinfolded for the entire duration of the spell, it can be used safely. (He can simply shut his eyes before he casts, but if he gets even a glimpse of the thing he must make his save as normal). Wand of Lightning Storms: This finely carved wand appears to be a Wand of Lightning, and behaves as such. It can hold up to five charges and has the bonus of regenerating one charge every day. Unfortunately, wherever the bearer takes it, bad weather will follow. It will always be raining - anything from light drizzle to a torrential downpour and thunderstorm. This weather will persist no matter what the climate or season. Interiors will invariably be cold and damp, and the sun will almost never shine on the bearer for any reason. Ring of Emphatic Flight: Acts as a normal ring of flight, but the bearer must continually shout or sing at the top of his lungs in order to get it to work. Circlet of Intellectual Superiority: Appears to be a magic crown or circlet of sime kind - sometimes also a helmet or hat. When worn, the bearer becomes convinced that he is smartest, cleverest person int he world, capable of amazing feats of logic, memory, and problem-solving. It has no actual effect on the wearer's mental abilities, however. The item is cursed and the bearer will not willingly remove it. Wonderous figurine (Broken): This appears to be the standard Wonderous Figurine of an animal which will transform into the full-grown creature when commanded to do so. However, it is missing a limb, tail, head, or is badly cracked. When activated, it will transform into the creature in question, but whatever damage has been sustained will translate into a horrible wound which will either kill or debilitate the creature as soon as the transformation is complete. The creature may be healed/resurrected, but will always return to it's broken state when deactivated. The Adding Machine of Lum the Mad: This is a desk-sized apparatus festooned with evil-looking buttons, levers, jeweled lights, switches, and any number of flashy, noisy, arcane contraptions. When any attempt is made to use it, it will emit sparks, gouts of flame, and small (harmless) bolts of lightning, generate impressive gusts of wind, crackle with arcane power, manifest small apparitions, moan, hum, rumble, and sing like a pipe organ. Despite it's complexity, it's function can be easily mastered with some practice: it is a mathmatical engine with the equivalent computing power of a small pocket calculator circa 1985. [/QUOTE]
