[QUOTE="Psychotic Jim, post: 5193153, member: 547"] Reposting this from over in the[URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/d-d-legacy-discussion/276914-amusing-un-helpful-magic-item-idea-help.html"][B] Amusing/Unhelpful Magic item idea thread[/B][/URL] over in the D&D Legacy subforum. You'll find some more ideas of other posters there too. [B]Hat of Suggestion[/B] This hat is usually large and ostentatious. Made for a large head (just check the size card on it!), this had has nonetheless been worn by many others of varying hat sizes; for it has been said that many this object has the power to sway people's minds. It can indeed make suggestions as its name suggests- but just really inane ones and certainly not of the magical kind. The hat is in fact, an intelligent (mildly so, and certainly not Wise) magical item, and some would say it was cursed. The hat is also known by wise sages as the Hat of Mercurial Whims, for nothing seems to hold its attention for long. The wearer of the hat is blessed (or perhaps cursed?) with the ability to telepathically communicate with it. However, its random observations, dirty double innuendos, and nonsense dialogue would only be distracting to most people (though the hat is never powerful enough to cause a spell-caster or the like to lose concentration). The Hat has only a mediocre Intelligence and low Wisdom, but it has a VERY high Ego. Prolonged use of the hat may cause the wearer to speak in a poor faux-British accent and develop a proclivity for large tea parties. Some sages believe that the Hat is inhabited by a spirit of a haberdasher. He is said to have been driven insane by exposure to the mercury that was used to cure the pelt used in the hat’s construction. Whatever the source for the hat’s (quasi) intelligence, it certainly bestowed a certain flair for double entendre and a dirty mind to go with it upon the hat. [/QUOTE]
