You have a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. While you're attuned to the weapon, crabs and giant crabs are indifferent toward you and will not attack you unless you threaten or harm them.

Scroll, rare (requires attunement by a spellcaster)
Unlike most scrolls having a dowel at its center or some means of a carrying case, a mobius scroll is a half-twisted length of paper that's been magically connected to itself to form an infinite, continuous sheet.
The scroll is blank when found. A spell appears on it when you first attune to the scroll and then again daily at dawn; roll a d8 each time and use the table below to determine what spell is...

Weapon (arrow), uncommon
This magic arrow is fletched with the feathers of an owlbear. When you use this arrow as part of making a ranged weapon attack against a creature that's behind half or three-quarters cover, that creature gains no benefit from that cover. If the attack hits, the target takes extra piercing damage equal to the bonus to AC that the target would have normally received from being behind cover. Once the arrow deals its extra damage to a creature, i...

This quill-like tool has a narrow brush that extends from its end, which produces its own ink. You can use this marker in place of ink and a quill as calligrapher's supplies. While holding it, you can use a bonus action to mentally change the color of the ink that flows from the brush. Decorating the marker's metal casing is a dazzling spectrum of colors, which move and shimmer while the marker is being used. The brush can be retracted into the ...

Ring, uncommon
While wearing this ring, you can use an action to transform your hand into a kraken-like maw and touch a creature within 5 feet of you. When you do, the creature must make a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw, taking 3d6 necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Your hand then returns to normal. If the creature fails the saving throw, you also gain a number of temporary hit points equal to half the necrotic damage dealt. T...

Weapon (dagger), legendary (requires attunement)
The metal of this wicked knife is said to be folded with the hair of a hag, giving it a dark, wave-like pattern that sizzles with corrupting magic. Its handle, curved like the blade, is made from long finger bones that ever-so-slightly curl to hold your hand.

Pact cards are used to temporarily bind the souls of aberrations and demons to your will. When you reduce an aberration or demon to 0 hit points, you can use your reaction to hold out a pact card on your person. That creature must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or instantly disappear, regaining all its hit points and becoming trapped inside the card. A creature with legendary actions automatically succeeds on this sa...

Wondrous item, very rare
This leather tome is filled with demonic lore and occult secrets, which are written in Abyssal. You can spend 10 minutes reading through its pages to learn information about an aberration, demon, or cult. At the end of that time, make an Intelligence saving throw. The DC is equal to 10 + half the aberration's or demon's challenge rating (rounded up), or 16 if you used it to learn information about a cult. On a failed save, you take 4d6 psychi...

As the glassblower knelt in the cathedral, her thoughts were filled with prayers for her warrior sister. Her safety weighed heavily on the glassblower's mind, and as she cast her gaze skyward, she was struck with divine inspiration as the sun illuminated the stained glass depiction of the goddess above her.
If her sister were to carry the goddess' strength into battle, then her temple should be there to protect her.

Armor (breastplate), very rare (requires attunement by a cleric or paladin)

Weapon (flail), very rare (requires attunement)
This flail has no connecting chain between its handle and bludgeon. Instead, it's magically tethered a set distance apart through the metal's magical magnetism, causing the weapon's weight to be negligible. A small, star-like furnace rages inside the weapon, causing it to roar aflame whenever it's swung.

The investigator paced alongside the skeletal battalion, their inattention allowing him close enough to carefully tap each. Glances from empty sockets quickly turned to disinterest as their skulls were reflected in his helm's dull metal, and he mumbled,
"5 months, 3 years, 60 years… 400 years, wow. And, 23 days. Only one in the right time frame, so you're coming with me. Someone paid a lot to get you back, kid."

The knight's strength was leaving him. His body felt cold. He watched in horror as his foe advanced on his ward, defenseless to protect themself.
But he was unable to stand.
Years ago, he swore to use his life to protect theirs. Today, he knew the cost was due. With the last of his strength, he plunged the blade into his chest and poured his lifeblood into its metal.
As his eyes closed, he could only mutter, "Keep them safe...please," as the bl...
