Helm of the Fiend: Art (PNGs)

Greetings All!

I really like how this turned out, inspirect be quite a few different helms. Lord knows, I’m a sucker for horns and demonic vibes.

The balance of this item is stronger than a regular Very Rare, but offset with a pretty strong curse. Not so much an active one, but a consistent one for higher level play that could rip away a PC from a player.

Let me know if you have any thoughts or suggested changes.

Charon's Obol: One-Sided.

Greetings All!

I wanted something that had root in a legend, sometimes known as ghost coins. These were rumored to be placed in the mouth of the dead, and others over the eyes.

Rather than a simple Death Ward, which it is 100% based, it grew to cover some alternate uses. Including Revivify, with a small boon of life to those who are out of time, and an even rarer use of being able to ward off the Avatar of Death.

That’s pretty much as interesting and speci...

Twilight's Censer: One-Sided.

Greetings All!

A sequel item to the Dawnlight’s Censer, that grows on its Lightly Obscured status while dropping the damage. Great for protection from range, with a save/limitations to keep it from being overly abused.

Its a bit of a mixture of darkness/smoke mixed with Spirit Guardians, inspired by some quality features in some of the new Paladin Oaths. I hope you enjoy it and I would love your input!

Frost Keeper: One-Sided.

Greetings All!

Finally another Scabbard! After the initial design, I added the optional rule as a small love letter to the woefully underutilized Frost Brand.  The lore and flavor of the item seem especially useful as we have just now begun to be snowed in, so I hope everyone is staying safe out there.

Without attunement and as a 1d4 additional cold, it was deemed best to establish it as a Rare item. As for it affecting magical blades, it is an experiment in ...

Mumpsimus Dagger: One-Sided.

Greetings All!

Another submitted item, with a slightly altered name. This was a fun one to include, even if just for at the table pronunciations. While not inherently sentient, I think dice rolls will eventually make this seem like it's out for your blood.

Unattuned due to the lovely little annoyance of having a habit of attacking the user.

I hope you enjoy it, and as always, thoughts are welcome! If you have any ideas for Item Submittal week, get them in fo...

Realmwalker's Blade: One-Sided.

Greetings All!

This is an item submitted by Luke Dobbs! I did alter it from a single misty step, and a shortsword gladius to a Scimitar. After a handful of sketches, I thought a Scimitar (something all druids can wield) matched better with the Druid aesthetic described in the pitch, and some added astral themed utility for users.

BALANCE: This was Debated quite a bit, as to what the charge breakdown should be since they all have quite strong appli...

Hat of Colorful Plumes: One-Sided.

Greetings All!

This was submitted by @nikagelbakidze (Jujujuju1 on Discord) Patron and Discord Editor for many items you see. If you are interested in Submitting, check the link for Item Submittal. It's here, on the Linktree, and on Instagram, once submitted they are voted on by Smiter’s and Up Patrons monthly.

For this item, it was laid out as a distracting and bolstering hat with colorful feathers. I can’t hear that without thinking of Will Turner’s hat at...

Wand of Honey: One-Sided.

Greetings All!

I had a silly amount of fun with this one, it has been on the list a while. I hope you dig it, I definitely did. This was inspired by the late night Tea raids I’ve been doing in the Kitchen as of late.

This originally had a larger ‘super summon’ percentage attached to it, but with all of the abilities currently in there I had to cut the Bumble King. Which was a small tragedy just for me, I enjoyed the idea of summoning and instead you got a me...

Shadow Ninjato: One-Sided.

Greetings All!

Delayed update! Finally getting this one added in.

A love letter to my youth watching kung fu films and american action movies. And like a few of my favorite weapons from those genres, might not have actually existed.

I wanted something that increased maneuverability and had a small application of burst damage, so obviously it is stronger in some hands than others. Since there is no Free Action in 5e, it is tied to Object Interaction as a few ...

Lightning Cutter Chakram: One-Sided.

Greetings All!

A lot of fun with this one, I really enjoyed getting the design down and try to capture a lightning bolt across a curved surface. Hope you like it!

Thoughts as always, are very welcome!

Truly, as always and ever sincerely, Thank You.

Chakram: One-Sided.

Greetings All!

I thought it was time I hashed out some new rules and base items for one of my favorite weapons. You can find the Halo Chakram with some scrolling from last year.

Thoughts as always, are very welcome!  Item Submittal final call is today!

Updates: Small layer adjustments.

Truly, as always and ever sincerely, Thank You.

Mage Breaker: One-Sided.

Greetings All!

I had the idea for this simple but useful Uncommon Bow for a while, so I was very happy to get it in. Like the Shadowed blade, it is deadly in the hands of enemies as well if you have a Mage a bit too big for their birches at the table. I hope you enjoy it!

The Spell Reaper: One-Sided.

Greetings All!

This has been in my head for a long time, but the mechanic took quite a bit of noodling to lock in.

After it finally clicked to make it a critical ability, I got underway and with a special thanks to my Discord Editors! I really appreciate the assistance of Spectre Creations added for getting around some of the listings of Innate Spellcasting, and helping reign in my sometimes confusing takes.

Bag of Wretched Smells: One-Sided.

Greetings All!

A weaponized Stink Bomb, molded around the Stinking Cloud spell. This one has been on my list for a while! The idea of a messy bag slopping into combat and just pouring out the smell of rot and disgust gives me a laugh. Perfect for Kobolds or Goblins if you are looking for enemy abilities that won’t TPK a party, or a Rogue looking for a solid distraction. I hope this finds a home at your table!

Whip of the Spineless: One-Sided.

My first non-NDA whip! This one was largely brought about by the wonderful brush pack of Cait May which allowed me to only focus on clean up and placement over every individual bone.

Clasp of the Way Back: One-Sided.

Greetings All!

There is something about clasp that holds a deeper meaning to me, a beautiful thought of it holding the warmth around your shoulders in some semblance of home and hearth. That said, this item is inspired by that.

A useful mechanic and a more flavorful and just as useful one held together in bits of iron and steel.

The mechanic for shadowing back to a previous location, I think I picked that up from an old turn base I played years ago but the m...
