[QUOTE="ilgatto, post: 8897551, member: 86051"] Ha! Beat me to it by seconds - well, 35 minutes. Was just going to see how my rough draft (edit: made without looking at the conversion) (mostly ripped from DMG [I]figurine of wondrous power,[/I] which I believe the current OGL still allows us to do :)) would apply to the conversion so I'll leave it here for your entertainment while I read your version. DRAGON TOOTH [I]Wondrous item, very rare[/I] A [I]dragon tooth[/I] is the canine of a dragon made magical in an arcane process. If you use an action to speak the command word and throw the tooth to a point on the ground within 60 feet of you, the tooth becomes a dragon warrior. Alternatively, the tooth can also be used for setting a trap, by speaking the command word and then not crushing the tooth but leaving it in some location instead. If the space where the dragon warrior would appear is occupied by other creatures or objects, or if there isn't enough space for the creature, The dragon warrior is friendly to you and your companions. It understands your languages and unfailingly obeys your spoken commands without regard for its own safety? If you issue no commands, the dragon warrior defends itself but takes no other actions. If the dragon warrior has appeared as a result of setting a dragon tooth as a trap, the dragon warrior will appear and attack the first creature to break the tooth [I](e.g.,[/I] by standing on it, breaking it, or otherwise harming it). Which dragon warrior will appear depends on the dragon the tooth was taken from. See [COLOR=red]the <?>/above[/COLOR] for the statistics of each dragon warrior. The dragon warrior exists for 10 minutes for each Age Category of the dragon the tooth was taken from – [I]i.e.,[/I] 10 minutes for a Wyrmling, 20 minutes for a Young dragon, 30 minutes for an Adult dragon, and 40 minutes for an Ancient dragon – or until it is destroyed or dispelled. At the end of the duration, the dragon warrior and all equipment that came with it vanish, instantly disintegrating into inert dust. [COLOR=red]Include a ref to Identify revealing the command word? 5E Identify says “(…) you learn its properties and how to use them, whether it requires attunement to use, and how many charges it has, if any. You learn whether any spells are affecting the item and what they are. If the item was created by a spell, you learn which spell created it.”, so that makes it pretty self-explanatory?[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
