What, the Dragon stuff?(Yea it was, I spent hours on that stuff,:mad: hope you got some of it.)
At the time, I figured subscribing to the thread was enough. Oh well. More incentive to buy Dragons.

AWSOME magazine. My dad got it for me for X'mas. so it's pretty nice. Can anyone tell me what "Dungeon" is like? I was thinkin' of subscribing.
 

Here is an item that belonged to a reoccuring vampire villain that plagues a group of adventurers that I am DMing for:

Lightbane Bloodstone
This fist sized bloodstone has an indentation that when pressed to the lips allows the possessor to drink its contents. The stone holds the magically treated blood of a beast from the plane of shadow which replenishes itself 24 hours after it is drained. The imbiber of this blood is able to ignore the effects of sunlight and any sunlight type spells for 12 full hours.

The party has encountered this vampire several times in the middle of the day and have no idea that he is a vampire.
 

Nice stuff. Sounds like their in for a surprise. Hey, anyone out there like making ion stones? I would like to, but I need a bit of a head start to get me going, any examples out there?
 

Ok, I got some. Tell me what you think.

Stone of deadly accuracy
+2 On all Attack rolles

Stone of Concentration
+2 on all skill checks related to int. wis. and dex. (this only include skills that can be done slowly.)

Stone of enchantment
+2 on all chr. checks



Th th thats all folks. Please do share your hints and critizizum(Once again, I TOTALLY spelt that wrong.)
 

Ok, Got another. But I've been told it was a bit much. Tell me what you think. It's really not an ionic stone, but they were the ones that gave me the idea.

STONE OF CONTINUAL LIFE

This is a small blood red peble that seems to have an unuasual weight. It is told to have once been a pearl, but slowly hardended and is now the toughness and weight of adamantium. This stone, when the correct command word is spoken, raises from the hand of the weilder and plumets through the forhead of the opponent desired by the weilder. The stone kills the enemy upon contact, and continues throught the skull and out of the baack of the head of the victum undamaged, despite any armor. Also, the stone can reserect one time for every ten people that fall victum to it. However, the stone can only be used one a week, and can only kill humanoid creatures of M size.

The main feature of Dungeon is adventures. They typically have 3 adventures per magazine, for a variety of levels.

"Criticism," I believe.

How are these stones used? Is it effective whenever you carry them on your person (like a pocket or backpack even) or are they worn around the neck, or what?

That is pretty powerful. It'd be an artifact, at least. These things usually involve some sort of save or attack roll or something. There has to be some way to counter it, some mitigating factor.
 

Well, here's another item, a simple one:

Night Light
This is a small, white orb. With a command word, it sheds light as the light spell. A second command word turns it off. Though not obvious, there is a tiny little button on the bottom of the orb. When this is pressed, it stays where it is, defying gravity as an Immovable Rod. When it is pressed, it can be moved.
Light transmutation and evocation; CL 5th; Craft Wondrous Item, levitate, light; Price: 6,000gp.

How about this? Modifying the stones a little.
Body Rings
Body rings are minor rings that go on different places of the body. They do not take up any of the normal spaces since their enchantments are generally considered minor. However, only one ring can be placed on the brow, tongue, ear, nose, finger [a normal ring, not a piercing], and toe [a normal ring, not a piercing].

Ring of Accuracy
This ring is placed on the finger. It does not count towards the normal only having two rings on the finger since its enhancement is so minor. It gives a +1 bonus on attack rolls. This does not affect BA or give bonuses to anything other than trying to strike an opponent [aka, does not work on tripping attempts, grapple checks, etc.]

Ring of Motion
This ring is placed on the finger and grants a +2 bonus on Sleight of hand check.

Earring of Listening
This ring is placed in the ear. It gives a +2 bonus on listen checks.

Earring of Motive Sensing
This earring grants a +2 bonus on Sense Motive checks.

Tongue Ring of Diplomacy
This ring is placed in the tongue. It gives a +2 bonus on diplomacy checks.

Tongue Ring of Bluffing
This earrings grants a +2 bonus on Bluff.

Tongue Ring of Language
This tongue ring allows the wearer to speak one additional language, though it must be a verbal language. He cannot read the language however.

Brow Ring of Language
Placed above the eye, this ring allows the wearer the read and understand a single language. He cannot speak it or understand it verbally, however.

Earring of Language
This earring allows the wearer to understand a spoken language, though he cannot speak it or read it. Combined with the Tongue Ring of Language, he can speak and understand a verbal language if both are of the same language.

Brow Ring of Language Deciphering
Placed above the eye, this ring grants a +2 bonus on decipher script checks.

Nose Ring of Smelling
Placed in those, this grants the wearer a +2 bonus on Survival checks when Tracking using scent.

Brow Ring of Vision
Placed above the eye, this ring grants a +2 bonus on Spot checks.

Toe Ring of Balance
This toe ring grants a +2 bonus on Balance checks.

Toe Ring of Jumping
This toe ring grants a +2 bonus on Jump checks.

Ring of Climbing
This ring can be either a toe ring or a normal ring which grants a +2 bonus on Climb checks.

Ring of Swimming
This ring can be either a toe ring or a normal ring which grants a +2 bonus on Swim checks.

Brow Ring of Appraisal
Placed above the eye, this ring grants a +2 bonus on Appraisal checks.

Brow Ring of Searching
Placed above the eye, this ring grants a +2 bonus on Spot checks.

Navel Ring of Food
Placed in the navel, this allows the wearer to skip a single meal each day without any ill effects.

Tongue Ring of Alchemy
When testing a potion or poison, this tongue ring grants the wearer a +2 bonus on alchemy checks.

Naval Ring of the Stomach
This prevents the character from having upset stomachs. Works when the characters eat too much or eats food that he doesn't agree with. Doesn't work on poisoned food, however.


Well, my original idea was to take the stones that palleomortis mentioned and have them absorbed into where they were supposed to work, but this idea came to mind. I'm surprised at how many I actually typed in. I was expecting to only have like five. Well, they're all pretty cheap, I might work on typing up their prices later. Let me know if this is a bad idea or whatever.
