Special Magic Items
Sometimes, unique magic items appear as part of a plot or a holiday! These items appear once, often never to be seen again. Most do not have prices, because well.
Hat of Perfect Appearance
This hat is of some flattering color that suits its owner, decorated here and there with baubles. When worn, the user may activate a command word which transforms him or her into a...gnome.
Well, not really. But, for all intents and purposes the world will tend to think so, and other gnomes will be quite impressed, giving you a +2 to diplomacy checks to interact with them. Your gnomish form is always well-dressed according to your style. If you're more of a cogs-person, then the gnome appears in a stylish crafter's outfit. If you tend towards conservatism, then the suit exhibits careful, understated tailoring. And so on.
This hat otherwise works similarly to a Hat of Disguise, save the normal size and weight limits to the illusion do not matter and that it is limited to the one form.
Healer's Kit of the Forest
This healer's kit is bound in living vines. Made by the finest elven vinesmiths, this kit continually replenishes itself, so long as it is supplied a few drops of water in the evening. The healer's kit provides up to 3 uses per day before needing to replenish itself.
The kit itself is difficult to destroy: it heals itself as greenwood does.
Wizardly Candy Corn
Given out for High Hunt PrPs during 2016, Candy Corn were one-off items just for fun. To use a candy corn, just +use <#> in your inventory. Using any candy corn is a standard action.

Ooey-gooey Candy Corn
This spooky Candy Corn can be directed to float to any point within 30 feet and then burst into a mass of yellow-and-brown candy goo! To splat a creature, treat as a ranged touch attack. It is otherwise identical to a tanglefoot bag, except its range. After 2d4 rounds, it will dissipate into a disgusting, sugary mass!
Runaway Candy Corn
This Candy Corn enlarges into large size, with tiny, sugary feet. Treat it as a dire ram, with all the same stats except that it looks, appears like, and seems to be a giant, Candy Corn with ittybittylegs. It dissipates into a gooey mess after 24 hours, or after taking enough damage that would kill a dire ram.
Its attacks make a *bip* sound.
Anchoring Candy Corn
This Candy Corn will gooshily affix itself to any surface, whenever you activate it. It possesses hardness 5, hp 25, and can support up to 1,000 pounds and persists for 24 hours before becoming a sugary, orange-and-brown mess. The Candy Corn can be removed with a DC 20 Strength check.
Camping Candy Corn
This Candy Corn when used, expands greatly in size until it is large enough to house six medium creatures. The inside is treated as an Endure Elements effect, and it will last up to 24 hours before dissipating into a sugary puddle, or withstanding a torrentul downpour, whichever comes first. While in use, it does look like a giant candy corn.
Costume Candy Corn
By employing a touch attack, this Candy Corn affixes itself to a creature's skin! They instantly take on the appearance of a giant Candy Corn, except for their feet. If used on Sandy, this awards 3 additional RPPs. Its effects last 24 hours.
Gobber Seige Tosser Candy Corn
This rare Candy Corn turns itself into a cornapult! This "cornapult" is similar to a light catapult and takes up a space 10' across. A collection of 5 unenchanted Candy Corns appear nearby the 'pult, ready to be loaded and fired. When fired using the cornapult, they do 4d6. To fire the cornapult, the crew chief must make a DC 15 check using only her or his BAB + Int - Range Increment Penalty (its range is 100') - Special.
- No line of sight to target square: –6
- Successive shots (crew can see where most recent misses landed): Cumulative +2 per previous miss (maximum +10)
- Successive shots (crew can't see where most recent misses landed, but observer is providing feedback): Cumulative +1 per previous miss (maximum +5)
If the check succeeds, the loaded candy corn hits the square the cornapult was aimed at, dealing 4d6 to any object or character in the square. Characters who succeed on a DC 15 Reflex save take half damage. Once a cornapult corn hits a square, subsequent shots hit the same square unless the cornapult is reaimed or the wind changes direction or speed.
If a candy corn misses, roll 1d8 to determine where it lands. This determines the misdirection of the throw, with 1 being back toward the catapult and 2 through 8 counting clockwise around the target square. Finally, count 1d4 squares away from the target square for every range increment of the attack.
Loading the candy cornapult requires a series of full-round actions. It takes a DC 10 strength check to winch the throwing arm down; most catapults have wheels to allow up to two crew members to use the aid another action, assisting the main winch operator. A DC 15 craft/artifice or k/military theory check latches the arm into place, and then another DC 15 craft/artifice or k/military theory check loads the catapult ammunition. It takes two full-round actions to reaim a cornapult (multiple crew members can perform these full-round actions in the same round, so it would take a crew of two only 1 round to reaim the cornapult).
The cornapult lasts for 24 hours, or until its candy corn is fired, whichever comes first, before dissolving into a sugary goo.
Sugary Candy Corn
By nomming this Candy Corn, you experience a sugar rush like no other. Roll for effect! For the next 3 rounds, you:
- 1: Land speed increases by 30'
- 2: Make one extra attack as part of a full attack action, using your highest base attack bonus
- 3: Gain a +2 dodge bonus to Ref saves because of your jitteriness
- 4: Gain a +2 dodge bonus to AC because of your jitteriness
- 5: Are so energized that you periodically break out into joyful showtunes during your turn
- 6: Gain a +2 untyped bonus on attack rolls
These effects are not cumulative with similar effects, such as those provided by haste or a speed weapon, nor do they actually grant an extra action, so you can't use it to cast a second spell or otherwise take an extra action in the round. Sugary Candy Corn does not stack with haste or blessing of fervor.
Gobber-Toof Candy Corn
All Candy Corn look disturbingly like teeth, but this one especially does! Strike someone with this Candy Corn as a touch attack, and they grow two, long, Candy Corn fangs and lots of little pokey ones in the back. The effects last for 1d4 hours. Like a gobber, the candy corn randomly emits a "Rar rar rar!" sound! Using this on Sandy is worth an additional 2 RPPs.
Gobber Party Favor
Throw this single-use vial on the ground at a distance of up to 20'. It creates a deafening bang before exploding into tiny, fiery dragonflies! The dragonflies last for one minute. The bang is not loud enough to cause effects, but it is guaranteed to irritate your neighbors!

01: Sparkly Razzer-flare Yuletide Bauble

02: Festive Sandytide Coat
This diminutive doll depicts a scowling sildanyari, wearing a bright red coat with white fur trim. Squeezing the doll once makes it dissolve into dust, and the coat enlarges to engulf the user. The coat remains for 1 hour, and may not be removed. While so fuzzily becoated, the user gains cold resistance 5, and a +2 circumstance bonus do diplomacy when interacting with sildanyari, due to acquiring a faint scent of fresh pine and Yuletide cheer. It is expended after 1 use.
03: Festive Gnomish Sack of Gifts
This ostentatious sack is composed of multiple colors, and lined in decorative, glittery swirls and baubles. Reaching into the bag produces one of (roll 1d8):
- A fuzzy, freshly knit sweater that is always 2 sizes too small.
- Roll once on the Gray Bag of Tricks. It produces a plushie of this creature, with a pull-string.

- Roll once on the Aquamarine Bag of Tricks. This effect lasts for 1 minute, and the creature floats harmlessly in the air during this time.
- A freshly-cooked bowl of chili. When eaten, it tastes like an expensive candy of some sort.
- A ushanka with bells on it.
- A bouquet of fresh blue roses, dusted with freshly fallen snow. They tremble and sing in a gibberish language. This effect lasts for 1 hour.
- A writing quill that when used, only writes the lyrics from Yultide carols. It fades when the holiday season is over.
Each sack possesses 1d4 uses, rendering the bag empty--but still festive!
04: A Bowl of Festive Oruch Chili
...dare you?
This bubbling brew upon the drinker the ability to spit gouts of flame. He can breathe fire in one grand belch, dealing 2d6 points of fire damage to a single target up to 25 feet away. The victim can attempt a DC 13 Reflex save for half damage. Unused blasts of fire dissipate 1 hour after the liquid is consumed, though much gas is produced either way.
It is expended after 1 use.
05: Yuletide Flickerlights
These small stones, when released, take into the air and assume a bright, festive glow. They function as a lantern, flying ahead of the user at a distance of up to 15', moving as directed. Their magic dissipates after 1 hour, and they usually fall harmlessly to the ground, with a soft, tinkling sound.
However, there is a 20\% chance that these were crafted by gobbers. Roll percentile when activating the object. If so crafted, the Flickerlights do not fall harmlessly to the ground, but instead explode into a cloud of peppermint-smelling smoke.
It is expended after 1 use.
06: Jar'd Candle of Yuletide Cheer
When first opened, this sealed jar releases such an overwhelming scent of Yuletide cheer (candy cane, fresh pine, etc.) that it covers other smells until it disperses (1d6 rounds after opening). Creatures within 20 feet of the jar get a +5 alchemical bonus on all saves against scent-based attacks while the scent remains, but they automatically fail any scent-based Perception checks during that time.
It is expended after 1 use.
07: Imitation Gnomish Yuletide Bauble
This festive-looking bauble, despite its name, was an adaption by the arvek to take their enemies by surprise. It is similar in appearance to a Razzle-flair, though a DC 15 Perception check may spot the difference.
The bauble may be thrown, and possesses a range increment of 10'. On contact, the bauble explodes into glitter, and creatures within 5' are outlined as per the Faerie Fire spell for 1d6 rounds.
It is expended after 1 use.
08: Gnomish Yuletide Sweater
This sweater blinks and buzzes, and when worn, accompanies its user with their own, Yuletide-themed themesong. The tempo of the song changes to match their step. Optionally, the sweater may somehow make their ears appear to grow pointy. You shouldn't have.
09: Midwinter's Yuletide Boots
These fur-lined boots are soft to the touch, and practically made in a manner to keep the user warm. However, it's said their owner was a bit high on 'nog at the time, or a little too obsessed with Eluna. When worn under the moon, they leave a set of faintly, silver-glittery footprints behind and a fresh, midwinter's scent. The footprints and scent fade after 1d6 rounds, though the effect on the boots is permanent.
10: Oruch Floppy Hat of Yuletide Cheer
It's terrifying. Words don't even describe. The bauble isn't just fabric; it's a trophy hide gathered into a knot. Sometimes they forget to cure it. If you are a gobber or oruch, this may be edible.
11: Gingerbread Reindeer
This tiny cookie holds mighty powers. Legend has it that it was first baked in a khazadi kitchen, and then menaced by a gnome! Whispering "Merry Yultide!" or sprinkling it with sugar causes the reindeer to spring to life!
The reindeer grows to lifesize proportions, and though still flat and filled with gingerbread, begins to prance around! If caught, it is rumored that the reindeer might provide nourishment as well as a potent, gingery sugar rush.
It lasts for 1 hour until dissolving into a sugary, gingery mess!
Items of Minor Legend
Róven Ilóth: A sylvanori term meaning "wild flower," this bow was crafted from the last surviving tree of an ancient grove. The grove itself has since passed into the forest, though when it lived, it was cared for by three generations of three sisters. Therefore, the bow tends to seek out a female owner.
- Current Owner: Iadoth
Mounavain: A Oruch term meaning 'Mountain' it was a shield that was discovered in the body of a great beast. The creature was slain on the first day of the new year, and within its stomach was found this shield that has a texture like rock along its front face. It was completely pristine, and lead to the Oruchs calling it Mounavain in reference to where the creature was slain and the way the shield looked.
- Current Owner: Azog
Dhegaan Daan: The inventor of the first firearm is famous and infamous among goblinkind. Less known are the works of his assistants. Dhegaan Daan, a gobber army knife, was one of the few, known, inventions of his last surviving assistant. A prototype-modification of the gobber army knife, its duck call sounds like a whipporwheel. However, what is really remarkable, is that this knife has survived to this day, despite its age and circumstance. The librarian suggests there's 'something' about it whereupon its inner heart just refuses to be destroyed.
- Current Owner: Murder
Houndsgruth Cloak: This cloak was craft by hand, by an aged monk who believed in an ancient vow of extreme spiritual purity. Prohibited them from contact with other, living creatures, the monk traveled to the furthest reaches of the khazadi empire, and from there would exile themselves for over seven decades.
Their vow, the monk believed, prohibited the contamination of the soul, even to the point of the consumption of meats or fish. The monk would eventually undertake the study of magic to eschew the need for food itself, and subsisted in an eternal, and constant state of peaceful meditation.
This focus however, would play out in the items they would craft. One such is this cloak. The cloak itself is a wonder in fine crafting and a near-divine attention to detail. Its black and gray threads weave so tightly as to be near houndstooth in miniature in an exact, precise, repeating pattern. There are no flaws.
The monk its said, would eventually pass atop the mountain while deep in their meditative state. Their dedication would, it is said, preserve their body in a mummified state, their spine upright, eyes closed, and palms resting gently upwards atop each knee.
- Current Owner: Malik
Ixen Sthyr Garurt: In the Draconic tongue it means, loosely, "Axe of the Fire Man". It once belonged to a Sith'makar who was reknowned for his control of fire, so profound was his knowledge that every weapon he used was engulfed in it. So strong was his spirit that he frequently had to not wear any shirts or else they would combust into flames. A fact that was not lost on some within his tribe! The Axe was thought lost ages ago, yet somewhere returned to the most worthy of wielders of the Axe of the Fire Man.
- Current Owner: Svarshan
Ihnar Kabira: Crafted from golden oak, this fiddle is shining gold in color. Burn marks hint at a darker past, and the library's letter confirms this. The fiddle was crafted five hundred years ago, and belonged to a Veyshanti goblin bard, who survived Tashraan's streets through virtue of her skill. Eventually, a djinni prince heard of her, and being jealous, challenged the wee bard to a duel.
It is said the djinni lost, and in a fit of rage, flung them both to the plane of fire. The goblin promptly died. However, overcome in a sudden bout of remose for the destruction of such talent, the djinni passed the fiddle on to the nearest merchant, with instructions to "find only someone deserving." The fiddle has since passed from hand to hand, with only portions of its tale surviving.
- Current Owner: Acedia
Robe of Sargasei Doblileit: Desolate from losing his final bout, an arvek gladiator took to the streets of the city. While drowning their sorrows, they came across an old, tattered robe--and, taking it as an inspiration from the gods, took upon a new profession and explored what had been until then, undeveloped arcane talents.
They would go on to serve in the greatest, strongest armies of the world--an abjurer of strength who protected those troops around them--but would never forget that moment. The aged, spotted robe they found was eventually remade, its threats rewoven into finer material. It became a proper, sorcerer's robe, yet one which is permanently interwoven with its original owner's moment of crisis, and eventually, inspiration. There is still a stain in the lower, right side along the hem.
- Current Owner: Seldan
Kitab Alzuhur: A Veyshan phrase meaning 'Book of Flowers" as a reference to the owners love of painting Tulips. This book was "blessed" by Reos, as the original Wizard who owned this book was a servant of his, a wizard that came to some minor fame as a Fresco Artist in Veyshan. The Wizard who owned the book was a specialist of Transfiguration magic, and took particular joy in trying to animate images and art. As such, the back of it, and several pages near the back, are filled with random bits of sketches and painting. Some of them no more than rough sketches and others fully colored in. Some of them have even been enchanted to move and tell a story.
- Current Owner: Morgan
Vermojjin: This ring belonged to a wealthy arvek merchant. Due to Thulian mischief, the merchant found herself involved in the illegal arms trade and before too long, could not find their way out. Eventually, they found an opportunity to make a deal with a djinni. The djinni sought to gain the upper hand, but the merchant, quick of wit, swiftly evaded and escaped to another plane. The merchant never forgot their luck and when they passed, gave the ring to their apprentice, who passed it on to another, and another.
