Item: Potion of Miscellaneous; for each sip, magic-users may swap out any one of their prepared spells for any one of the following:
- Gastro Acid
- Create Diet Dr Pepper (as Create Water)
- Oculus Reparo
- Waterga
- Commune with Suburbia (as Commune with Nature but only works on strip malls and fast food chains)
- Zarrow Shuffle
- Frosty milk nice and hot taste, Whip me up a low fat latte
- Find Tarps
Item: Sweater of Storms
Encounter: a very convincing and scary robot
Item: Wand of Atrocious Visage; through touch, baleful-polymorphs a target to a really ugly papier mache craft project
Encounter: 18th Century doctor and healer. First of all, you all obviously have too much blood, the women’s wombs are all in the wrong places, and he would like to try some exploratory brain surgery on the Half-Orc because he heard they have gems inside their heads that can cure the dropsy.
Item: quick-serve espresso inhaler, proofing the user against sleep-inducing spells/items but with a -d4 penalty on Dexterity checks from the jitteriness
So, I like to let my players get away with pretty much everything.
I made one of them pick up the One Ring and felt a little bad,
But then one of them found the moonshine flask, the party drank from it, the NPCs drank from it and I’m sure that the enemies drank from it. I sometimes forget that my players are all neutral characters so I should not have been surprised when they all doubled down on “let’s get drunk and go looting!”
They’ve picked up a few more items but they’re very wary after the One Ring. I have only a few other truly cursed items but I especially love giving them weird stuff and seeing what they do with it.
I’ll probably be back a few weeks from now with better tales.
But never underestimate the power of moonshine and looting to bring people together.
