[QUOTE="jedavis, post: 5878404, member: 35933"] In the campaign I'm currently playing in, we're gradually gathering a set of artifacts known as the Chromata, which are guarded by dragons of their respective color. We've only got one so far: Mavrilith, a jet black axe seemingly cast from an incredibly hard metal unknown to dwarven science and razor sharp. The weapon is possessed of an evil intelligence (problematic) and thirsts for magic (dispels on hit, which is fantastic). In this same game, we also found an item known as the Black Lotus Dagger. It's an obsidian dagger engraved with fell runes. When plunged into the ground, it opens a portal to one of several hell dimensions. This portal remains until it is plunged into the ground on the other side, at which time it snaps closed. It can likewise be used to exit hell in the same manner (stick it in the ground in hell, opens a portal to the material, step through, stab material ground, closes). Other quirky, but not really unique items from this one include the Forn of Hog, and the fact that rods of mineral detection cannot detect lead. In a previous campaign, we had a dragonslayer ranger. After several notable successes, a group of dragons sent a dragonkith gnoll ranger (favored enemy: humans) after him. When the gnoll was slain, we found on its corpse a unique magic staff containing a couple of ranger spells; the most memorable was Bloodhound from Masters of the Wild. Since you rarely find staves for rangers and paladins, this was pretty damn cool. [/QUOTE]
