Is this supposed to be directed at my Block of Eternal Cheese? I realize that mice/rats prefer peanut butter, chocolate, etc. over cheese, but it's a joke. You know, humor?

The Blade of Legions:
When activated, the Blade of Legions teleports the wielder to a foe in short range, and creates mirror images of the wielder at other foes as well. A successful hit (not damage) by either the wielder or a foe against the wielder (not an image) causes the wielder to be teleported to another random foe. An image replaces the wielder at the foe just left, unless an image is already there.
The basic idea is that a person wielding the blade is a threat everywhere. An enemy can't be sure that the person in front of them isn't an image, especially since it might be an image now, but 10 seconds from now it could be real.
While a single blade like this is certainly of use to a rogue character, it becomes nastier when paired with multiple people wielding a Blade of Legions. There's a certain threshold though, as any hit causing the wielder to teleport means that while a single wielder can damage folks, if there's too many foes and the wielder isn't high enough level in comparison to them, all it does is become an annoyance/delaying tactic. Not enough damage is actually being dealt by the wielder in a single instance to significantly influence things.
The ideal mix for a wielder of a Blade of Legions is probably going to be 3-4 foes for each wielder. This allows for them to potentially issue damage that's meaningful, while maintaining enough uncertainty as to which wielder is actually there and which is just an image.
This is an item that PCs could certainly benefit from, but would also be nasty if a pair or small team of assassins (depending on the size of the group) were equipped with.
Hammer of Weight
It's not really known what exactly the origins of this "weapon" are; many suspect a Trickster to be responsible for it, while others claim a dwarf or gnome with a sense of humor. Regardless, the operation of the weapon is simple. Everytime an item is struck, the mass of it doubles for 30 seconds. The hammer itself is completely unremarkable, except for appearing to be slightly small for a weapon.
It's unusual and of dubious utility. It's going to be an especial temptation to people (NPCs or players) that can't fathom putting effort into creating a magic item that is more problematical than beneficial.

harp of truths. whenever its weilder tells a lie a string breaks. always liked that one
the black culdron of suicide. can kill anyone and raise them as a zombie. unless someone jumps in willingly. Never knew what the wizard who made that thing was thinking i hate the selfless act saves a person thing. its a deus ex machina.

sounds like a kobold creation to assist with underground hit-n-run trap tactics ... set the trip-weight higher than normal on pressure plates so you're side wont trigger but the hammered foe WILL for the 30sec duration (and take bonus damage from resulting fall like a reversed feather-fall)
alternately might be a dwarven creation vs aerial opponents designed to maximize falling damage and/or interfere with expected tactics.
The Chillaxe: once per encounter when the axe is wielded in combat, its user may speak a command word that will create a 40' radius magical field in which no being may take offensive actions for 1d4 rounds. Within this field, the axe's wielder also doubles his charisma bonus to Diplomacy or Bluff rolls to negotiate peace.
Sorry, my own attempt at humor... I am not a very funny person...
Block of Eternal Chi: a normal looking block of smelly, runny cheese rapped in waxed paper; if the whole block is eaten, it doubles the consumer's Chi (Ki) for one day. Consuming the whole cheese requires a Fortitude check of DC 20.
It reforms within the waxed paper after a week.
