This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

A Panapoly of magic items and animals

The Pendant of Sectaurian Ameloriation - for whomsoever wears the pendant, if bitten by an insect, the bite will not itch.

Imp

Glove of Many Voices

A supple leather glove. The wearer of this glove can project his voice at will anywhere within 120 feet, from one particular location or up to a hundred (thus, multiplying his voice 100 times). However, this only works if the gloved hand is used to help vocalize the sound he makes. Thus, hand calls, babbling by strumming your lips, water-drop noises made by thumping your cheek, fart noises made against the palm of the gloved hand, certain whistles, and other manipulations can be projected with the aid of the glove of many voices, but mere gestures like "shh" or a covered cough will not.

Imp

Shield of Evening Relaxation

Upon command, this round metal shield sprouts four slender 3-foot-long legs from the handle-facing side, forming a small table.

A second command will produce a lit candle from the center of the shield. This candle stays fixed there and is a normal candle in all other respects.

A third command, often secret, causes the shield to project a small (2 ft. square) illusion 5 feet away. This illusion is typically of a theatrical performance of some sort.

The shield confers no special combat bonuses.

Imp

Robe of Scribing

A white robe. Anyone can use an unclothed digit to write on the robe, and their motions will produce solid black lines, as if painted on with a thin paintbrush.

Anything drawn or written on the robe can be erased by rubbing it with the unclothed palm of one's hand.

All markings on the robe disappear at midnight.

Imp

Potion of Gastronomic Rocketry

Not quite so dramatic as the name suggests (unless, perhaps, the true process of the item is known to a hostile party), this potion, when drunk, will cause the drinker to shit gunpowder for 1 day.

(If the drinker has nothing to digest, or is perhaps constipated, the effects of the potion can be lost.)

Imp

Stone Mule

A living construct in the shape of a mule. It has the hit points and other statistics of a mule, but is AC 0 (or 20) and can only be damaged by blunt weapons of +2 or better.

Each day it is used, roll d100. On a 00, the mule will decide not to move, and will at that point become a statue of a mule in all respects.

Shipyard Locked

Sing Saw - This golden hand saw hums a lovely tune as it works its way through wood. It often produces original compositions, and it does its fortune-making best work when sawing through a living intelligent plant creature, like a treant or dryad.

RPGPundit

The Aeroplane Over the Sea: a flying vehicle that will allow you to cross a large body of water.  The flight, regardless of the size of the body of water, will take only about 40 minutes, and the in-flight music is weird and amazing.
Unfortunately, this is strictly a one-use item, never to be repeated.

Omni Deck - A person who shuffles this baroquely decorated deck of seemingly blank cards suddenly learns the rules to every card game currently extant in the world.

If the deck is placed face down and tapped twice while the name of a particular game is intoned, the faces of the cards transform into whatever is necessary to play that game. Even the number of cards in the deck is adjusted.

If a person uses the deck to play a particular game for at least three matches they become aware of all the game's major strategies, though they don't necessarily gain the skill to put those into effect.

Shipyard Locked

Disconcerting Candle - This candle is an unpleasant shade of blue green and is covered in very fine writing that, upon closer inspection, turns out to be obscene words, disturbing ideas and heresies written in a variety of languages. When lit, it constantly whispers horrible things in a creepy voice to no one in particular.

I recently discovered the joys of GURPS Magic Items 1, 2 and 3. There's quite a bit of good stuff in there though I won't post it as that might be a copyright violation.

Bolas Of Legal Entanglement

These bolas don't have any combat bonuses, but once per month, the person (or other creature if possible) struck by these bolas will be instantly subject to legal investigation by the local authorities. If they have committed a crime in the area, it is that crime (or their most recent crime), but if not, the nature of the investigation is entirely random – treason, blasphemy, theft, outstanding taxes, etc. etc.

Slightly Awkward Corpse-Cat:  tied to a particular item, the owner of this item will have a familiar cat appearing at random intervals, even in places it has no business being, and dropping the bodies of small animals in front of him as if in offering.  At first, these will be creatures that a cat might typically hunt: mice, small birds, etc.  But the longer the PC remains in possession of this item, the more unusual the bodies or body-parts the cat will be dropping off: unidentifiable tentacles, a human hand, the blood-stained wig of obvious upper-class origin, etc.

Doki Doki Panic - This adorable shiba inu dog is friendly but sort of frantic. She is also subtly cursed: people around her gradually become more prone to nervous excitability and hyperactive anxiety. Vivid panic attacks at the worst possible times are her unfortunate specialty. None of this is clearly traceable to her without careful observation.

Doki Doki's curse stems from her heritage: her great grandsire was an otherworldly psionic horror of pure negative emotion that masqueraded as a dog for a time to escape hunters.
