D&D is all about having some fun, often in unexpected ways, and magical items just help to bring that out. What are some items that you have been given (or have gifted to your party as a DM) that your party had a great time with?
Trying to find some great inspiration for items to maybe give to my party, homebrew items are more than welcome as suggestions!
The more chaos, the better!
The weapon of warning. I was fooled because it’s uncommon and didn’t read it closely enough.
I once decided to give all my players a single minor magical item at lvl 1 just to help their characters settle into their roles.
The Ranger got a quiver of elven kind (guaranteed 20 non-magical arrows per day)
The wizard got an indestructible spellbook (no need to worry about losing spells)
The monk/rogue a cloak that made it easier to conceal his identity
And the hobbit-like bard… a dagger of warning.
I thought they’d appreciate the LotR nod. Except I made a campaign of intrigue, where the baddies were hiding in plain sight. I dreaded that damn dagger. Somehow, through sheer luck, the bard immediately forgot about it after their first encounter. It never came up again.
