Wondrous item, uncommon (requires attunement)
This magic pauldron has 3 charges and regains all expended charges daily at dawn. You can use a bonus action while wearing the pauldron to expend 1 of its charges to divine its tactical insights, magically granting you advantage on the next weapon attack roll you make before the end of your next turn. On a hit, the attack deals an extra 1d6 damage of the weapon's type, and you gain that same amount of temporary hit points...

"I've learned to trust your… creative plans, but this?"
"Yep!"
"This is the only way to beak— er, break into the place?"
"Couldn't find another! The count loves trinkets, after all!"
After a long sigh, the older thief reached out a hand to his young companion.
"Fine… hand me the chicken."

Potion, common
A willing creature that drinks this tonic is magically transformed into a ceramic chicken for up to 10 minutes, as if by the polymorph spell, or until it ends the effect as a bonus action. The creature retains its Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores, as well as its skill and saving throw proficiencies (including those of the chicken). Use the raven's statistics for the chicken, with the exception that its flying speed is halved and it fa...

Weapon (arrow), rare
A creature you hit with this magic arrow must make a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 3d6 psychic damage and must use as much of its movement as possible to move directly away from you on its next turn, using both its movement and Dash action in order to do so. A target isn't compelled to move into an obviously deadly hazard, such as a fire or pit, but it will provoke opportunity attacks to move in the designated di...

While I bear the mark of those I've sworn to hunt, I am faced with the hunger for more. For blood. For sight beyond sight. No more am I content with mere mortality: what I once hunted as foe I now search for as salvation.

Hey heroes!
First of all, thank you so much for your patience with this release. This is technically the release scheduled for the end of last month, but there were some pretty gnarly schedule upheavals that got in the way. However! You can fully expect the next setting, the one intended for September, to be released very soon, well before the end of October. We'll be back on track in no time.
Without further ado, enjoy (or really, prepare for) y...

Rest not in shadow, but firelight. Dance like the candle's flame and your fire will never sputter. Cast light on the threats that surround you, and burn the ones that dare tread too close.

Weapon (dagger), uncommon
This pair of matching brass katars seems to exhale heat in the throes of battle. Katars are daggers primarily used for quick, puncturing strikes, and are wielded in clenched fists. As a result, these daggers lack the thrown property. When you hit a target twice on the same turn using the katars, that target takes an extra 2d4 fire damage provided that you're holding the two katars in either hand.
Rest not in shadow, but ...

I felt the wonder of beyond as I touched the blade. I saw the splendor of the cosmos as I drew it. As the blade guided me forward I knew the fury of a comet. As the blade delivered its strike I felt the strength of a black hole.
As I watched my enemies vanish, I felt nothing but a cold void. But now, years later, I can’t escape the weight of the universe, the weight of those lives.

Weapon (longsword), legendary (requires attunement)
This black blade was forged from the metal of a meteor. When swung, a cosmic plume of shooting stars and distant galaxies can be seen in its dark afterimage. You gain a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon, which also has the finesse property.

The young adventurer gazed wide-eyed into the pitch-black well. Shakily, he asked, "So… what'll we do now?"
His weathered companion snapped a wand off her belt and pointed it down and into the dark. At her command it flared, its power coalescing into a radiant orb which rocketed into the hole.

Wand, uncommon
This wand resembles a small torch and brazier. While holding it, you can use an action to cause its brazier-like metal end to alight with a continual flame, which remains until you dispel it (no action required) or until you're no longer holding the wand.
The wand has 3 charges and regains 1d3 expended charges daily at dawn. While holding the wand, you can use an action to expend 1 or more of its charges to cast the sacred flame...

Though your enemies raise a thousand swords against you, and arrows fall like hail all around, you shall not bend.
You may yet bleed as any other, but know this: it is beyond your lot to fall.

Armor (light, medium, or heavy), rarity varies
While wearing this armor, any bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage you take from nonmagical attacks is reduced by 1 (uncommon), 3 (rare), or 4 (very rare). The very rare version of this armor can also reduce damage in this way from magical attacks, in addition to nonmagical ones.

Smoke from this pipe is normally odorless. While smoking it, you can use an action to exhale a puff of smoke that magically smells like delicious food. You choose what food it smells like, such as a freshly baked pie, stew, or tea. The smell dissipates after a few seconds.

I watched the shambling rot tear him apart. I made it tear him apart. And I knew I'd wanted it to, but I knew the circlet craved that violence more. To spread. To grow. To consume.
I couldn't stand it. My hands gripped its edges, tearing with all the strength in my shaking limbs. I felt it tearing away, the roots beneath my flesh ripping free. You can't imagine the pain, but even as my vision flashed I knew I must be free of it.
I awoke, the pain sti...

This fungus-covered wooden circlet is riddled with a tangled web of mycelia. While wearing it, you are always under the effects of the speak with plants spell. This version of the spell only allows you to understand and speak to fungi, instead of all plants. In addition, your Constitution score increases by 2, to a maximum of 22, and you are immune to poison damage. Whenever you would take poison damage, you can...

The frigid north was relentless and unforgiving. Its dark nights were filled with chilling horrors. Those that stood against the monstrous tides were honored for their bravery. In their hands were lanterns, whose glimmering flames shimmered through the night like dancing gemstones. Never once did such a watcher dishonor themselves with retreat, but instead pressed farther into the darkness with lantern in hand.

This dark steel lantern is always cold to the touch, and its cold blue flame releases fine snow instead of smoke.

While touching the lantern, you can use an action to speak one of the following five command words.
