Players love shit they think will make them overpowered. What useless items have you given your pc's? My favorite were bracers that switched places with a command word.

Classic Club of Healing. Hittings someone causes 1d4 damage, but heals him for 1d6. Still hurts of course.

Also bagpipe of invisibility. Makes you invisible, but only as long as you play it as loudly as you can.

Staff of Disintegration. Five of them, in a wooden crate with straw, coated in a substance something like cosmoline. Players were ecstatic. Disintegration effects are great especially at low level. Staves are crazy good at any level. And five of them?

A short while later, the party spellcaster was separated from the group, facing an animated suit of armor in close combat. He activated a staff. The Staff disintegrated into dust. MFW

I like having nonlethal malfunctioning magic items. Either made by bad artificiers or simply old and worn. For instance:
An item that makes you invisible to yourself. An item that raises your strength when you try to be gentle, or makes you walk faster, but run slower. Sometimes I have potions that do silly things like reminding you that you ve forgotten something, but not what it is, or just gives u useless info like exactly how many grass straws are under your boots. My favorite is the poorly made talking stick of finding, which instead of giving u clues on where to go, gives you clues where not to go.
>>
>>48256869
If you attach something to the bracers, do the attached items switch places too?
>>
Wing coins. When you flip them, they stop in the highest point of their arc and hover there, continuing to spin and emitting a humming noise that sets teeth on edge, until their command word is said, at which point they fall normally. Great for annoying the shit out of people when making bar bets.

So, I have an infinite number of sticks?

Honestly, I always prefer giving them items that seem useless and might not even always be magical, but they do have some very situational applications that can be pretty useful if the players figure them out. For example, "Orb of Slope Detection" is a small but perfectly well-formed glass bead that, when placed on the ground, rolls in the direction of a slope if placed on one.

As far as straight up magical items that aren't as useful as they sound, a Wand of Teleportation that vanishes from the wielder's hand when activated is always fun. So is the Universally Immovable Rod, especially when it's used in a dungeon. So is the Ring of Might that, when activated, gives an ambiguous answer.

What makes it so gratifying is when the players Discover some use for one of those items, or say I make a use for them.

Time is an illusion. Space is an illusion. Reality is an illusion. We are all illusions and fantasies of the overgod that dreams the world. There is no fundamental difference between real and illusionary light because both are ultimately illusions. Only the overgod is real. By realizing your own unreality, you gain real mastery of the illusion.

My personal favorite is the hat that makes everyone you are not hiding from convinced that you just became harder to detect. It doesn't actually make you, it just convinces them it does.

For everyone you might want to hide from, even if you are not aware of their presence or existance, you are as easy to detect as if you were blinking with a bright strobing light, even if you don't look any different. They don't even need eyes to detect you.

Using this in my Campaign was hilarious, because everyone on the party could attest that it works, while I allways rolled my detection rolls for foes behind a GM screen and they allways made the check, resulting in a lot of confusion and chaos.

It's their fault for using magical artifacts that they have not confirmed the effect of. No mercy. It's like drinking a potion you know nothing about and being surprised when it's actually a sleeping potion

Mysterious Soap

Soap that makes you no cleaner than you were before you used it. However, it makes you and everyone else think the user is cleaner. The soap has a nice, fragrant and relaxing aroma, which is actually an olfactory hallucination it creates.

You're thinking in-character and keeping the situation in-character. You can't control how the group thinks, and some of them may be thinking out-of-character and instead of realizing what the hat does, suspects that the GM is fudging rolls.

It's a caution that this magic item will not work for every group and every player, because I've had GMs who will simply drop magic items they thought were interesting into the game without thinking about how the players as people will react to them being present. It's the girdle of masculinity/femininity all over again. The characters may be able to handle it, but will the players themselves?

Prim and Proper Purse.

It's impossible to lose it, have it stolen, or open it unless you're the correct owner. It also can hold unlimited amounts of gold, and convert said gold to food or sundry items on demand. Never run out of rope again, candles for days etc. It runs extortionate prices though.

It also eats gold when breaches of etiquette occur.

My party was given a choice of magic items. The party Alchemist took the Snakeskin Tunic

"Tunic, Snakeskin
Aura moderate abjuration and transmutation; CL 8th
Slot chest; Price 8,000 gp; Weight 2 lbs.

DESCRIPTION

A snakeskin tunic is a tight, form-fitting shirt crafted from the scales of a giant snake.

When worn, it grants a +1 armor bonus to AC, a +2 enhancement bonus to Dexterity, and a +2 resistance bonus on saving throws against poison."

The Alchemist gained no actual benefit from it. He was immune to poison, wore armor and cats grace was put up in every fight.

The item was picked for a single reason.

Also ability to lift stuff at any(?) height is amazing. Imagine sneaking to a town wall, stealth killing a guard, tying grenades and bombs to his body and making him levitate to the level of guards on the wall. fuck yes.

BUT IF YOU ORDER NOW and find a really big and mean corpse (horse,cyclops,cave spider,elephant, or a FUCKING BLUE WALE if you want to be extra mean) then lift it really, really high during dark night, you could make a neat trap to lure your enemies under for a glorious splat.

You also need to drink inside the shield, also shit and piss somewhere anon. If you have decided to be a smart fuck, GM will also step up his game.

I mean, I'm only trying to solve the immediate limitations of this. Obviously you could skirt most of these problems by being a construct or an undead, outsider or something. The problem is the inevitable escalation that results and it either ends up with you being dead or Fiat making you so. There are ways to skirt the doorways (shrinking yourself) Also the forcefield wasn't explicity spherical, could just be personal range. and grabbing objects could be solved by telekinetics in whatever form that takes. Obviously it's still an arms race, but if you're GM isn't going to be a dickhead about it, you can actually use it. Problem is he WILL be a dickhead, considering it's invulnerability, so he has every reason to do so.

The joke did not escape me, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to guess that you meant tumbleweed when you said hay.

Hay is deliberately-dried grass. Humans make it out of grass to feed to animals.
Tumbleweed is tumbleweed. Tumbleweeds make them to spread tumbleweed seeds.

They are different organisms. They also behave differently. A lump of hay will not roll by dramatically unless you spend an hour carefully drying and glueing it into shape, it's either going to be the wrong shape to roll or the right shape but too heavy or high enough winds will tear it apart.
This is because tumbleweeds have used evolution to become good at being blown around by winds, whereas hay has not. By the time grass has become hay, it is no longer part of the gene pool, and farmers do not select for hay bales that fucking roll away in light winds

I'm not the guy who wrote the item, just the one who responded to you.

Here's the actual quote:
"The principle of generating small amounts of finite improbability by simply hooking the logic circuits of a Bambleweeny 57 Sub-Meson Brain to an atomic vector plotter suspended in a strong Brownian Motion producer (say a nice hot cup of tea) were of course well understood — and such generators were often used to break the ice at parties by making all the molecules in the hostess's undergarments leap simultaneously one foot to the left, in accordance with the theory of indeterminacy.

The trick is not to force the party into using the item in any particular way. Just give it to the players and see what happens.

Less situationally useful and more generally inconvenient, but here you go
Ring of Elemental Chaos
When casting a spell, the user must roll to determine it's elemental damage, fire, cold, lightning, acid, or poison
The spell backfires on a 1
Cannot be removed
Removal of the finger it's placed on will cause it to teleport to the nearest finger or similar extremity on the user

The wearer of this item will randomly assign words to different genders and stick with those. The more genders there are in any given language the user speaks, the stronger the Curse.

if it's universal in the sense that its frame of reference is the universe, that could get pretty interesting considering even in fantasy games most planets are hurtling through space.

That's ridiculously broken, you're obviously not very creative.

This is the operative principle that makes those "test your strength" booths work at carnivals. They give you the heavy hammer, which you can only accelerate to a small velocity over your swinging arc, so you suck at. The trick is to pick the heaviest hammer you can get up to maximum speed because (physics refresher) Ek = 1/2 * m * v^2

At this point you have energy being deposited into a point, and all that matters is the relative hardness of the object. An ingot that can't be damaged in any way shape or form is pretty fucking hard. Basically broken as fuck IRL

In Exalted it'll just hang in place, yes.

In Creation, that is. In Autochton, probably too.
In Malfeas though? His layers /are/ constantly moving, even if not at cosmic speeds, so it will fly away from you.

Are they "homing" or can I raise my shield and then take a step to the left, thus avoiding danger?

An axe with an obsidian blade, wicked sharp. When thrown, it will home in on the nearest person.

That person is usually the guy who threw it.

You're going to die. You've already seen it.
In fact, that trap didn't exist until you saw it.
>>
>>48290331
No homing what-so-ever, once you know how they work they are trivial to overcome, only any good the first time you fight someone.
Though that reminds me of a different knife (which probably deserves the name more) that return when it gets inches away from the target.

>It's still a tree, you know? Having wood in the middle of literal nothing is still nice

If you're out in the middle of nothing and your survival hinges on the nearest tree, then you're already fucked. Assuming the nearest tree is close enough to get to and doesn't lead you away from the nearest settlement or something that could actually save you long term.

Because chances are slim to nil that getting to that single tree is going to get you out of the middle of nothing.

Because when you activate it again, it's just going to point you back at that same tree.

I centered an entire campaign around a pineapple that nearly killed a player when a group of goblins started throwing food at them, rolled for random magicalness and it was a loud ancient human pineapple of warleading, when spoken into your voice would be projected for 100 squares and when activated it made a loud war horn noise.

They later found a gorilla with an unbreakable coconut originating from the same place

The Marble of Boredom.
It's literally just a magic marble. I intended for it to be used as some kind of magic battery for a dungeon, my players found a way to weaponize it.
They accidentally razed the entire capital along with the catacombs.

1) Perfect assassination tool. Much easier to dispose of 140 pounds of butter than a body.
2) This could garner great fame as a intermediary tool in any international event where a starting condition (i.e. who's attacking and who's defending) is decided with a coin toss. A now truly, perfectly fair coin toss.
3) That's just plain useful as long as you're literally a grave digger.

No, but it's a decent sledgehammer. Not everything has to be a weapon, anon

Amulet of resurrection:
Upon death of the bearer, this amulet shatters and restores them to life. Unfortunately, given the fact the amulet does not heal their wounds, they are likely to die again a few seconds later.
