Iron Shoe of Blix
By Ekimus
...Here you go Jeff,<br /><br />Iron Shoe of Blix <br /><br />By Ekimus<br /><br />Long, long ago a goblin by the name of Blix ruled over a great horde of goblin tribes and other humanoids. Though his wits and strength were exceptional for his ilk, it was his iron shoe that enabled him to rise to such heights. Blix had made a pact with an archdevil from the Nine Hells and received the shoe in exchange for the promise that he would provide a steady stream of sacrificial victims to his new diabolical master.<br /><br />Led by Blix and his stomping iron shoe, the goblin horde descended on the civilized lands like a plague of locusts, laying waste to fertile fields, toppling walls and towers and enslaving whole provinces. The human and demi-human races of the realm seemed doomed until one fateful, moonless night when an unknown, but matchless thief stole into Blix’s camp and stole the iron shoe. After the discovery of the theft, the horde immediately began to disband and disperse, the focus of it’s victories gone. In the confusion, Blix disappeared, never to be seen again.<br /><br />Since then the Iron Shoe of Blix have been found several times, but only to mysteriously vanish again soon after, as if some force wishes to keep it idle.<br /><br />The Iron Shoe of Blix can in melee combat kick for 2d7+2/2d8+2 damage (as a +2 Footman’s Flail). Once per day the iron shoe can stomp, causing a magical effect the same as an Earthquake spell (7th level Clerical spell). In addition to this, the iron shoe has the following powers listed below:<br /><br />2 x I ___ ___<br />1 x II ___<br />2 x III ___ ___Ekimushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04793821120855900139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-74893209345026439472010-08-24T19:18:46.241-05:002010-08-24T19:18:46.241-05:00Here's another:

The Clay Sickle
by Isimud
A crud...Here's one!<br /><br /><b>The Clay Sickle</b><br />by Isimud<br /><br />A crude, fired clay sickle, about two hands-span long, weathered but with a sharp edge and faintly incised all about with ancient, wedge-shaped sigils. Unutterably old, the <i>Sickle</i>, sages say, was in the beginning borne by gods in the reaping of the first harvest before Men. Father Enki, maybe, caused it to fall into the hands of the hero-king Utu-hegal who used it in driving the bestial Gutti from the Cities of the Plain. Thereafter, it enters many tales called by many names (<i>Inanna’s Crescent</i>, or <i>Utu’s Axe</i>, or <i>Tiamat’s Tooth</i>, or <i>The Fang of Burnt Earth</i>), always in times of war and when it seemed as if the civilisation of Man verged again on the brink of annihilation, wielded by those who defended City against the horde, or the Sown against the Desert. Though appearing delicate, in battle it apparently acts a +2 Scimitar of Speed; its further powers are rumoured to further the governance of kings and the arts of civilisation:<br /><br />2 x I: ______, ______<br /><br />1 x II: _____<br /><br />1 x IV: _____<br /><br />There's a pic at <br />http://isimud.wordpress.com/2010/08/25/magic-items-the-clay-sickle/<br /><br />Cheers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-65252360717460302032010-08-24T10:03:08.982-05:002010-08-24T10:03:08.982-05:00Magic Butler

by EvilBen
Not much...Slashghoul’s Robe of the Magi<br />by EvilBen<br /><br />Not much is know about how Slashghoul became one of the most powerful mages in known history, especially since he was a half orc, but his exploits are legendary. It is believed that Slashghoul constructed a Robe of the Archmagi to aid in his journey to the planes of the Abyss with his adventuring companions, the mighty Ale Slingers. <br /><br />Why they went is unknown, but when he returned, his power had grown and the robe was changed. Some believe he found dark secrets in the abyss and wove the very fabric of the abyss into the garment, while others claim he traded his magical knowledge with demons for souls which were boded to the robe. While the knowledge of how it was crafted is lost, what is know is that Slashghoul’s Robe of the Magi functions like a Robe of the Archmagi except it appears to be a fancy charcoal grey robe with black, blood red and silver embroidery, thus revealing its alignment (neutral). It is also rumored to have the following powers.<br /><br />3 x I _____, _____, _____<br />3 x II _____, _____, _____<br />1 x III _____<br />1 x IV _____Evil_Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07452992603210759049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-54641497110250271662010-08-22T17:58:26.181-05:002010-08-22T17:58:26.181-05:00here's another one...

by Tim "arcadian" ...Amulet of Moral Decay<br />by Tim "arcadian" Stephens<br /><br />Created by the Lich Masters of the Utter East , this amulet gives the owner power over the dead and recent dead, but at a cost. <br /><br />The amulet itself is fashioned from the ossified heart of a nameless lich from that undead order's beginnings, and was used by acolytes of the order to terrorize the common folk with the scourge of the undead. Opposed by a paladin Sir Teraz, the Lich Master were defeated after a long campaign, but at the cost of the paladin's life.<br /><br />The paladin's dying wish was to expose the evil of the amulet, and Sir Teraz's patron, a goddess of life, heard his plea and altered the amulet's power to identify those who would toy with the dead. <br /><br />Using the amulet's unholy powers causes the user to stink like the corpses they desecrate, an supernatural stench that cannot be washed or healed away. The users flesh does not rot, but all in his vicinity will feel that they are in the presence of the dead.<br /><br />2 x 1_B_XX<br />1 x III_Carcadianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12607653187812032790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-13654281845094092922010-08-21T16:54:00.558-05:002010-08-21T16:54:00.558-05:00Hourglass of Fharlanghn

It can be borne and used by any class, but in the hands of a fighter/druid it causes no encumbrance penalty (only the predictable trouble of going through doorways).<br /><br />The primary purpose of the caber is to be thrown. As a missile weapon, it has short range of 1", medium range of 5", and long range of 10". It is aimed at a primary target, and inflicts 2-16 points of damage if it hits, but rolls "to-hit" at an additional -1 penalty may be made for any other entity within a radius of 3" to the primary target; these suffer only 1-8 points of damage on a hit.<br /><br />The secondary purpose of the caber is to ignite: upon command, which can be issued mid-flight, the caber bursts into flame, striking all flammable opponents as by burning oil. The caber burns perpetually until commanded to cease.<br /><br />I: DDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-52058234630828484672010-08-21T04:04:56.943-05:002010-08-21T04:04:56.943-05:00http://dndwithpornstars.blogspot.com/2010/08/unima...http://dndwithpornstars.blogspot.com/2010/08/unimaginable-star-of.html<br /><br />by Zak S.<br /><br />Hope that fits--it's a little long on power description and short on history.Zak Sabbathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08812410680077034917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-88232203718835719932010-08-20T10:19:03.326-05:002010-08-20T10:19:03.326-05:00Dude, I am SO there.Dude, I am SO there.Lizardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11612692415592670468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-84435491989662271732010-08-20T07:17:36.344-05:002010-08-20T07:17:36.344-05:00I'm in, let me get to work...I'm in, let me get to work...Chris Creelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15993487911122629839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-39647736628674589472010-08-20T06:41:06.831-05:002010-08-20T06:41:06.831-05:00Adamanclay

Rubbing ones hands together will generate enough heat that the outside surface can be altered a bit by hand, such as sharpening an edge. Keeping the Adamanclay close to ones body (under a shirt) for a few hours while hiking or working is enough to make it as malleable as tough clay. The Adamanclay is not only unbreakable while cold, it is also an extremely cohesive ooze when red hot, not a single drop can be seperated from the blob.
