Reptile

Well, we have made it to the 12^th Edition of this Weirdness. Ready for a little more?

Sticking with last edition’s theme, here are a couple of items poking a little fun at two more of my co-players with a couple of fun items.

Please use these items with the humor intended in their creation. It will also show you that a little imagination in a weird mind can be dangerous.

Imeni’s Picture Book of Puzzles

Puzzle Book (very rare item): wondrous item causes enthralled.

This book appears as a toddler’s board book. (Those thick paged books meant for toddlers who would be apt to put things in their mouth. Not that Imeni wouldn’t try doing that as well.) The book’s pages are made of thin wood about an 1/8” thick measuring 6” by 6”.  The pages contain pictograms that appear to have been drawn by a 6-year-old child. But, if that is not strange enough, the book is magic and anyone gazing upon its pages are enthralled with the puzzle and can’t look away until they solve the puzzle they are looking at. To solve the puzzle, the onlooker is required to make a savings throw versus intelligence at disadvantage, due to the whole oddness of the puzzles that lie within. Just figuring out what is scrawled on the page is the first challenge. Then there is the issue of trying to figure how putting them together adds up to anything.

The book contains 12 puzzles and once an onlooker solves a puzzle, the same puzzle will not work on them again but others in the book may. The onlooker, once laying eyes upon a puzzle, can’t take their eyes off of it unless they make their savings throw, which is not allowed to be done until their initiative turn.

Chance’s Bag of Oblivion

Adventuring Gear (one of a kind): Wondrous item cursed.

This bag appears to be a bag of holding but unlike a proper bag of holding, it was once in the hands of Chance the Hapless Bard. Chance’s luck isn’t the best and somehow while in his possession, the bag’s magic has taken a weird turn causing the item to be cursed.

When anything is placed into the bag, the magic takes hold of it and twists it into random corpse parts from random creatures. This effect will go unnoticed by the possessor of the bag until they try to retrieve the item they placed into the bag. (See random table below for retrieval results). The other strange twist of this cursed item is every 5^th item placed in the bag has a 33% chance of causing the bag to implode, creating a tiny momentary black hole which sucks in anything weighing less than 50 lbs, that is not tied or fastened down in some manner. The tiny black hole only lasts 9 seconds and can only effect things within 5 feet.

Random Bag Results roll 2D8 on the table below.

Dice Roll	Body Part	Creature
1	Head	Elf
2	Arm	Succubus
3	Leg	Displacer Beast
4	Hand	Skeleton
5	Foot	Zombie
6	Torso	Vampire
7	Heart	Krampus
8	Brain	Spider

So ends another edition of Reptile’s Weird D&D Home Brews for 5E.

Remember to always practice safe gaming and beware of a bard with a bag of holding. You never know what might come out.

Until next time, Game On my friends.

Here we are back at it again for the 11^th week after a short break due to Dragon Con coverage. Yes Reptile wears many hats.

Without further delay this week I bring you a couple of items custom made and named after two of the characters I have been honored to play along side for the last year.

Bron’s Folding Forge

• 

Forge (Very rare item)

Are you a forge cleric? Do you hate having to find a way to lug around your forge? Bag of holding getting full and you just need a little more room? Well this item is for you.

It’s a full sized sturdy forge with a built-in anvil. The forge is imbued with magic. It heats, cools, unfolds and folds upon the spoken command words. When not in use the forge folds into itself to the size of a common lunch box and due to it’s magic only weighs 4 lbs. Additional bonus of Bron’s Folding Forge is once a day it can magically provide enough raw material to forge a weapon of medium size.

Major Able’s Smoking Pipe

• 

Halfling Pipe (Rare item)

Are you a Halfling; do you enjoy a nice relaxing pipe even if you are not a Halfling? This nicely curved handcrafted pipe is for you. Oh, do you occasionally find yourself in a jam and need a quick way out? Then you really want this wondrous pipe.

The pipe makes everything smoked taste like the finest tobaccos ever grown, but the enchantments don’t end there.

Once per long rest the pipe can produce a 20′ x20′ cube of smoke so thick that it equals the Fog Cloud Spell cast at 2^nd level.

Once per long rest the pipe can produce a smoke portal that equals the Misty Step spell at 2x the distance of misty step.

Once per week the Smoke Portal can be used as a Teleport spell to carry the user and 8 others to a known destination.

Lastly the smoke from the pipe can be used to revive a fallen ally with the Breath of Life. Using this ability requires the user to take a long draw from the pipe then breath the smoke into the mouth of the fallen ally as long as the one being healed has not reached negative hit points to the point of true death. The smoke will revive the ally to consciousness plus 2D10 points of healing. This effect can also only be used once a week.
