I was a huge fan of the first 5e starter set, “Lost Mine of Phandelver.” I used that set so many times! Very curious to see how the new one stacks up! Stay tuned!

Just got Horrified: Dungeons & Dragons by @ravensburgertcg.bsky.social to the table and brought the smackdown on a displacer beast and beholder. Had a close call when Volo wandered up to the beholder, but we managed to save him with the help of Laeral Silverhand. Video review coming soon!

Any creature that takes fire damage in the area while the censer is lit takes an additional 1d6 fire damage per level of the expended spell slot—1d6 fire damage for a level 1 spell slot up to 9d6 fire damage for a level 9 spell slot. The censer can’t be used this way again until the next dawn.

Art of a dark purple medieval-style beret with a colorful feather sticking out of it. There's a subtle black swirl effect around it that gives it a slightly foreboding aura. Unremarkable Hat (5e) Wondrous item, uncommon (requires attunement) This hat has an aura of forgettability around it. It doesn’t stand out in any way. It’s bland, boring, perfect for going unnoticed. While you wear this hat, people won’t notice you as long as you don’t draw attention to yourself or engage in social interactions like a lengthy conversation—meaningless pleasantries like simple greetings don’t count. Creatures who don’t notice you make attempts to recall your presence or your identity with disadvantage.

When two different creatures each wearing one of the linked bracelets are within 60 feet of each other, they instantly learn each other’s true names and perceive each other’s appearances as though they have Truesight. They can prevent this effect by succeeding on a DC 25 Wisdom saving throw, suppressing the bracelets’ ability until dawn of the next day.

This week is the SPELL STAMP!

Back us on patreon.com/thegallantgoblin to see all our releases and get VTT tokens, print and play cards, and PDF booklets of our content!
Art of a gray jade stamp carved in the form of an elephant standing on stone pillars atop a pedestal, with the pedestal constituting the stamp. A loop of black string is threaded through the pillars to allow the stamp to be worn as a necklace. Spell Stamp (5e) Wondrous item, uncommon (requires attunement) This jade statuette is carved in the shape of a stamp with an elephant for the handle. While you’re wearing the stamp, it can be used as a spellcasting focus. Doing so allows you to choose to add a unique effect to each spell you cast. This effect is equivalent to that of the minor illusion cantrip in the space you target with your spell and with a duration of 1 round. You determine the effect when you attune to the stamp, and you can only change it if you spend time with the stamp as though attuning to it again. The effect acts as a magical signature you add to your spellcasting that allows other creatures to recognize it came from you. This effect can be used to validate your identity when casting a spell from afar, such as sending a message telepathically. You can also use the effect to attempt a Charisma (Intimidation) check with advantage on creatures who perceive it and know of you by reputation when you’re out of combat or during your first round of combat. The targets then become temporarily immune to the effect for 1 hour. Spell Stamp (PF2) Item 2 Invested, Magical Price 30 gp Usage worn; Bulk L This jade statuette is carved in the shape of a stamp with an elephant for the handle. Activate—Stamp Spell [free-action] (concentrate) Trigger You Cast a Spell; Effect You create a unique effect in the space you targeted with the triggering spell which is an image or sound equivalent to what can be created with the figment cantrip. You determine the effect the first time you Invest the Item, and you can only change it if you spend an hour concentrating on the item while you have it invested. The effect acts as a magical signature that allows other creatures to recognize it came from you. This effect can be used to validate your identity when casting a spell from afar, such as sending a message telepathically. For 1 round after this Activation, you can attempt to Demoralize creatures as though you are in the space where your signature effect last appeared if the target knows of you by reputation. When used this way, Demoralize has the auditory trait if your effect is a sound or the visual trait if your effect is an image, and you don’t take a circumstance penalty for not speaking a language.

Homesteader’s Goblet (5e) Wondrous item, uncommon (requires attunement) This goblet has blue-tinted crystals embedded into its sides that serve as windows to show the churning fresh spring water within. While the goblet is inside a building that you legitimately own, it refills each day at dawn with cold, clear spring water. You can use an action to drink from the goblet to enter a trance for 1 minute, during which time your body is unconscious and your mind glimpses scenes from the site’s history. If another creature drinks from the goblet, it doesn’t enter a trance. Instead it must succeed on a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by you and any of your allies present for 1 hour. This effect ends early if the drinker is threatened or harmed. The goblet has no effect outside the building. Homesteader’s Goblet (PF2) Item 1 Invested, Magical Price 20 gp Usage held in 1 hand; Bulk L This goblet has blue-tinted crystals embedded into its sides that serve as windows to show the churning fresh spring water within.

You then also have disadvantage on your next ability check, saving throw, or attack roll. If a creature that has disadvantage due to the oopsy daisy fails or misses due to the disadvantage, the creature also accidentally injures itself as a result, taking 1d4 bludgeoning damage.

It contains 1 charge and regains an expended charge each day at dawn.

A fancy-looking ceramic plate broken into twelve pieces of varying sizes that are floating in the air and connected by a magical blue aura with small streaks of yellow lightning. Dissembling Plate (5e) Wondrous item, common This plate looks as expensive as a fancy platter that would be at home on a noble’s dining table and just as delicate, but that’s a lie! You can throw the plate at any space within 30 feet with the same result as scattering caltrops in that space. The plate shatters into twelve sharp pieces of varying sizes, but after 1 hour the pieces magically pull themselves together and reassemble into a complete plate again with no evidence it was broken. If the pieces are very far apart or restrained in some way, they instead teleport back together. The pieces reassemble in the spot where a plurality of the pieces are, whether that’s in the space they were shattered or in a bag. An appraiser would estimate the plate to be worth 1 gp to replace if broken and not recognize it as magical unless they cast detect magic, identify, or some other similar spell, which they wouldn’t unless they become suspicious for some reason.

The plate can also be broken by being accidentally dropped or pushed without requiring a specific action to Activate with the same result as being thrown into an empty space.

This week is the CURSE BOX!

Back us on patreon.com/thegallantgoblin to see all our releases and get VTT tokens, print and play cards, and PDF booklets of our content!
Art of a rectangular gray steel box with intricate engravings of wilting roses on its longer sides. Curse Box (5e) Wondrous item, uncommon This steel box is engraved with decaying roses and can contain a single curse. Its lid is stuck open while it isn’t containing a curse and shut when it contains a curse. While holding the open box, you can transfer one curse affecting you from yourself into the box, ending the curse’s effects on you and closing the lid. If you open the closed box, you must attempt the same saving throw with the same DC of the original casting of the curse contained in the box. On a failure, you are affected by the curse for its entire original duration. Curse Box (PF2) Item 11 Curse, Magical Price 1,300 gp Usage held in 2 hands; Bulk L This steel box is engraved with decaying roses. When its lid is open, you can’t close it except by activating its Contain Curse ability. When the lid is closed, a curse is contained inside and will befall whoever opens it. The Identify Magic activity can determine that a closed box has a curse inside, but the magic of the box prevents identifying the curse within. Opening the box with an Interact action activates its Release Curse ability. Activate—Contain Curse [two-actions] (concentrate, manipulate) Requirements The box’s lid is open; Effects You attempt to counteract a curse on you with a +2 item bonus to your check. If you successfully counteract the curse, the curse is removed from you and contained inside the box instead, causing the box’s lid to seal shut. Activate—Release Curse [one-action] (manipulate) Requirements The box’s lid is closed with a curse contained inside; Effects You release the contained curse and must attempt a save against it with a –2 item penalty on the save. If you critically fail the save, the curse also befalls all creatures adjacent to you, requiring they attempt a save with a –1 item penalty.
