A thought occured to me while I was reading this (and it is quite a good idea). I was reading the part where you said that "the sword only speaks to the farmer". As a possible alternative twist, why not have the sword driving the farmer insane. There is no intellegence in it.

Perhaps the sword inspires heroic acts, and after comming into contact with the magic, and evil of Vrin, was corrupted.

Slowly the sword is enhancing the combat ability of the farmer, but at the same time taking his mind and making him increasingly paranoid.

In the end he suspects all of attempting to revive Vrin, and will begin to try and use his newfound power to "prevent" this from happening. Go to Comment

Oooh, that's a good idea. Never thought to use them that way. Go to Comment

Now at look at what I accidentally found: another member of the "class of items" submission. We should do something about those... they are usually easy to transplant into any campaign, and likely to be created sooner or later.

The description of the compas stones is very brief, but frankly, it doesn't need much detail. Go to Comment

Good reminder. Linked to the right Codex. Go to Comment

Good item and a good way to get the players to go where you want them. Have somebody they'd believe tell them the marker stone is in some treasure or with someone they want found, and off they go. Go to Comment

This is one of those items I really like. It is a small nitch magic item that is nothing more than a small edge. Go to Comment

Simple but good. Go to Comment

I wish I had these. Go to Comment

Good solid idea, I put stuff like this in the ideas section, but that is just me. A basic 3.0 for being old and usable.

Awesome idea, Cirruswind! A seemingly low-level magical item that, when used correctly, could be invaluable! I like the idea of using the marker stone as a "homing device" that would allow the pc's to find the target wherever he/she is. Go to Comment

As others have said - a good, simple, and useful idea. Could be useful in a "find the dingus" adventure, where the players must track down the tuner stone so they can find the marker stone, which has been buried near the dingus.

Ummmm. This is a character? Do you have a lifeform or monster category? Or is this the only one? Go to Comment

How bad a riding check to they have to make to leave their horses saddled overnight? Does the fern still use sunlight for food or does it scavange food from travelers? If it is smart enough to make wrong turns on a map, can it write or communicate at all, and what would it have to say? Go to Comment

I like this! I find it very appealing and funny, even in its brevity.

No, but there is the Ankle Bracelet of No Stubble.

What an ordinary but interesting item. Go to Comment

Nice one! I can see why a weak, nerdy wizard might want to invent one of these... :) I love the idea of the effect it might have on the city guard. Imagine trying to get through customs unchecked wearing this!

Super-short, but still good. Rightly belongs to the Generic Magical Items... linked! Go to Comment
