Weenie Magic Items
I'm missing the name of the compiler, any help would be appreciated
Introduction:
The following is the list of the Weenie Magic Items which have been compiled by myself for the Usenet. I hope everyone enjoys it. :-)
Notes:
A large majority of the items were already being compiled by Boudewijn Wayers to wit I would like to express a deep gratification that he had the foresight to capture a lot of the item descriptions as they passed through. Thanks again Boudewijn!
Disclaimer:
It is hoped that none of the following items infringes upon anyone's copyrights, or that the description of items gives offense to anyone. Neither is the intention of this list. Nor is it the intention of this list to compete against anyone who is or has published a Weenie Magic item list or a book which might contain such items. Instead, this is a public domain type rendering of those thoughts generated under the title of "Weenie Magic Items" and/or any such derivative lines of thought placed upon the Usenet. Being public domain means that no recompense is recommended or wanted by myself or anyone else who might be compiling these ideas. The ideas belong only to those who thought them up and these people should be consulted as to their final standing. Again, we are not attempting to infringe upon any copyrights be it past, present, or future. Nor do we wish to be held responsible for the infringement thereof. Or in other words:It's your baby. Feed it, love it, and maybe it will grow larger over time. :-)
General Set-Up:
The following list has been expanded from the original by Boudewijn Wayers into more of a database type listing. The following areas or titles are associated with each of the items:
DATE: The date on which the submission was sent to myself.
TITLE: This is the general title of the item. If nothin was given, an appropriate title will be placed onto the item. The owner of the item can, if they so wish, send a new title and it will be placed with the item itself so long as the name is not onerous to the general public (my decision unfortunately ;-) ).
INVENTOR: This is the Usenet/Ethernet/Whatevernet name underwhich the item was sent. Where appropriate, an additional
AUTHOR: subclause will be used to show the actual author's name, address, etc.... Otherwise, only INVENTOR will be placed in this location.
CLASS: This section denotes the major character class which uses the magical item. If the item belongs to a subclass (or if it is felt to belong to one) a SUBCLASS: line will also be added to the item's entry.
COST: When and where appropriate, a cost for the item is given. Otherwise, the cost is left up to the individual referee.
SYNOPSIS: This is a short description which you, the referee, can use when describing the item to your players.
DESC: This is a full description of what the item looks like, what it does, how it works, how it is made, and whatever else the person who submitted the item thought was important enough to include.
NOTES: This is a set of notes which can or should be used when dealing with the magic item.
Notes on Items:
Where possible, the erlier the submission, the farther up on the list the item will be placed. However, at a later date everything will be placed alphabetically with the DATE: field denoting the date the submission was received. Enjoy.

Description:
An enchanted arrow. No bonuses to hit or damage but if fired at a target & missess, instead of falling to the ground, it stays aloft & turns around to try again (NOTE: it could be a back attack this time). This continues until either a successful hit is made or d4 tries have been attempted(not counting the initial to hit roll for firing the arrow). The arrow locks on one target (whether dead or alive). If a 1 is rolled on a to hit roll, a mis-lock occurs & the person who fired the arrow is now the acquired target. Other than turning around, this arrow does not avoid obstacles. as such, hitting a solid object will stop the arrow.

Title: Flaming Wooden Sword
Inventor: [email protected]
Author: Michael Lane Wilson
Class: ANY
Subclass:
Cost:
Synopsis:
A sword, made of wood, which will burst into flames upon command.
Description:
Or one of my old favorites, a wooden sword, flames on command. It starts as a 2H sword, +4 to hit and damage after the command word is spoken. (Without being activated, the weapon is nothing more than an ornate club.) The flame lasts for 1 combat or 1 turn, whichever is shorter, or however the GM wants to work it. After the first use, it burns down to a wooden long sword, +3 to hit and damage, flames on command. In this same manner, it goes from here to a +2 short sword, a +1 dagger, and a nice little pile of ashes. It sheds light in a 5' per plus radius, and yields the heat of a small campfire in the larger modes. (Suitable for saving someone from frostbitein a cold glacier cave (at least _I_ let them get away with it).

The ruler makes a slaping/floping noise as it traverses the distance and can be disrupted by being picked up.

Title: The Brass Bit of Holding
Inventor: [email protected]
Author: Norman Scott Murray
Class: Mage
Subclass:
Cost:
Synopsis:
A brass bit which has been changed into a bag of holding.
Description:
Here's a great weeenie magic item, when my brother was a GM. We played this system that let you roll percentiles for special events every ten years of your character's life. One fellow rolled the one that gave him one choice from the equipment tables of a value less than 50 gold pieces he already had all the stuff he wanted, and he needed a magic item. Now magic items are hard to find, and they cost 100 to 1000 times what the unenchanted item would. So he bought a 5 brass bit (1/1000 of a gold piece) and asked my brother to make it into a bag of holding... it was a pretty weenie idea.

Title: The Blue Gauntlets
Inventor: [email protected]
Author: Andy Merritt
Class: ANY
Subclass:
Cost:
Synopsis:
A pair of dark blue leather gauntlet which allow a character to know what is happening to another character.
Description:
This pair of dark blue leather gauntlets radiates magic when detected for. However, their dweomer is somewhat obscure, and it may be hard to discover their purpose. The way they are intended to be used is for each gauntlet to be worn by a different person. If either wearer experiences an extreme feeling such as great fear, great pain, or extreme danger, then the other wearer will be aware of this state. Both wearer's are aware of the other's current concious state (gauntlet not worn, awake, asleep, unconcious or dead).
In order to somewhat disguise the nature of the gauntlets, previous owners have had a second pair of identical looking gauntlets made, and each of them have worn one of each pair.

Title: Parchment of Mail-order Catalog
Inventor: [email protected]
Author: Gordon Burditt
Class: ANY
Subclass:
Cost:
Synopsis:
A rolled up piece of parchment with obscure writing and (mayhap) pictures.
Description:
Intended to be used like toilet paper, this paper is covered with undecipherable writings, and has the consistency of modern sandpaper (or what passes for toilet paper at certain colleges). The person who uses it in the normal way (and on himself) suffers 1 hp of damage and until it is healed, must save vs. spells every time he sits down and every round while sitting, or s/he will stand up. Using it on a non-willing subject who is not tied down or an infant requires a to-hit roll at -10 (or worse if the target is wearing armor), and anyone seeing you try this will think you're a pervert.

Title: Amulet of Earthquake Prediction
Inventor: [email protected]
Author: Gordon Burditt
Class: ANY
Subclass:
Cost:
Synopsis:
An amulet which seems to tell when an earthquake is about to happen.
Description:
This amulet emits a wail warning of a natural earthquake, between 1 minute and 3 hours in advance. The trouble is, about 99% of the time it's a false alarm. At the GM's option, it may give warning of magically-caused earthquakes, probably with not much warning. In this case it should probably give false warnings any time anyone thinks of using earthquake-type spells. Every hour of game time, the GM rolls percentile dice until 01 does NOT come up. The number of times 01 comes up is counted and looked up on this chart (this is probably best done with a computer):
0-1: Nothing happens
2 or more: the amulet gives a warning (with the probabilities given, this goes off about once every 14 months of game time. The GM is allowed to fudge rolls.)
2: Nothing happens
3: Minor earth tremors, no significant damage, but definitely noticible.
4: Moderate earth tremors. Structural damage to buildings, people walking may fall, dungeons, mines, and tunnels may collapse.
5: Serious earthquake, like San Francisco or any other really bad earthquake you care to name. People may get thrown into cracks in the earth. Most of a dungeon collapses.
6. Catastrophic earthquake: worse than #6, and on a planetary scale.
7. Earth explodes, Sun explodes, comet knocks Earth out of orbit, moon crashes into Earth, or similar astronomical accident
8. Galaxy explodes. Might as well include all the planes, too.

Title: Ring of Animal Shape
Inventor: [email protected]
Author: Scott Bernier
Class: ANY
Subclass:
Cost:
Synopsis:
A ring which allows the user to assume the shape of a given animal.
Description:
To activate the ring the wearer needs to mumble a command word (usually it deals with some aspect of the animal or saying that animal's name). Upon activation, the wearer becomes that animal in shape and skills/AC, etc. until he/she wills him/herself back to his/her original form. Sounds like a ring of temporary polymorph right?
Well, here is where it gets interesting.... Each ring only works for one animal type. While the ring is worn, no matter the user's present form, they will get some of the attributes of the animal- type of the ring...For example: Squirrel--the ability to climb trees quickly. After each use there is a 1% cummulative chance that the user will not want to or be able to change back from the animal form (DM should roll this secretly ahead of time), however if this finally comes to pass, the user can save vs polymorph in order to forcefully change him/herself back (don't forget the system shock roll).
After the 5th use, the user startes to retain some of the features of the specific animal type...wiskers, feathers, etc. The closer the user gets to the percentage rolled above, the more features he/she should retain. Afterall, I am not completely coldhearted and try to give my players a hint when something is being overabused. That is the reason behind these last two "side affects" of this item.

Title: Claw of the Griffon
Inventor: [email protected]
Author: Lightchild
Class: Fighter
Subclass:
Cost:
Synopsis:
A sickle-sword which does extra damage to opponents.
Description:
I once designed a sword called "claw of the griffon". It's basically a longsword with a sickle - like blade projecting out and downward from the hilt. When a party first finds it they have no idea what it is. A detect magic reveals something magic where the sickleish blade meets the hilt. Later they find one of the guys that made it and for a price he will tell them what it is. It is a sword that, when used correctly, enables a fighter to slash with the blade then, with a flick of his wrist, follow through with the sickle thingy (same dam as a normal dagger), thus enabling him to have an extra attack/round, even if it does pitiful damage. The other fighters in the party think "great!" , go and get a blacksmith to forge identical swords, and the sickle- blade shatters/breaks off first time they use it. The magic was in the bond that holds the thing on.
Notes:
Obviously other bits can be added on to this situation (the fighter can use it only if he trains with the guy that made it for x time, the sword and sickle- part can have pluses, etc.)

A one always fails! Gives the character an indicator of remaining good luck.

Title: The Molko Bush.
Inventor: [email protected]
Author: Jeffery Brown
Class: ANY
Subclass:
Cost:
Synopsis:
A plant which feeds on blood and produces gems.
Description:
The Molko bush is a magical plant whose fruit is precious gems. It is a nondescript little bush in a brass pot. It spends most of its time dormant. When watered regularly with human blood, however, it develops flowers, and fruit, if the blood is continued. It takes about a pint a day while flowering (typically two weeks) and eight pints a day (i.e., the blood of one human) while the fruit is ripening (which takes three months or so). Interruption of the watering for more than two days makes the fruit go bad and fall off (resulting in worthless flawed quartz crystals, usually). The yield of the bush can be "adjusted" by gamemaster fiat to make it large or small enough to be relevant to your campaign.
The sinister thing about the Molko bush is that while flowering and ripening it radiates a psionic suggestion to water it with blood, and this suggestion grows stronger as the fruit ripens. It gets so strong that very often the tender of the plant opens his wrist veins into the pot and expires about two weeks before the fruit are ripe. Since the bush is normally kept secret and tended by one person, its fruit rarely actually make it to full ripeness.
The people who do manage to harvest the fruit tend to be stong, evil princes who sacrifice criminals and/or enemies to the bush, and in the last month or so of the ripening just put the victims, nude, in the same room as the bush. The psionic suggestion is enough at that point to take care of things; most people end up tearing open their arms with their teeth.
There are rumored to be some evil nonhuman races who maintain stocks of human captives simply to supply the "fertilizer" needed to keep whole orchards of these bushes producing. (Finding such a place, freeing the captives, and destroying the keepers and the orchard might make a good quest.)

Title: The Varakar
Inventor: [email protected]
Author: Jeffery Brown
Class: ANY
Subclass:
Cost:
Synopsis:
A magical tiger which eats people and defecates gems.
Description:
The Varakar is an enchanted tiger. The preparation of the enchantment involves making a collar (for the tiger) and a ring (for its master) of iron with matching geometrical designs. The enchantment makes the tiger a slave to the will of the enchanter, and some versions also make it proof against normal (nonmagical) weapons, and some forms of magical attack. Once enchanted, the tiger's eyes appear to lose iris and pupil and look like empty orbs of hellish red, and the tiger's coat becomes an even, unstriped red-gold. Aside from being absolutely obedient to the will of its master, the varakar does not notice these changes and is unaware of its state. The enchantment can be undone by destroying the ring of control, at which point the varakar becomes an ordinary tiger again.
Besides giving the master a tiger to command, the varakar has another wonderful property. So long as the varakar is fed exclusively on the flesh of human virgins (either sex) which it slays itself, beginning on the sixty-sixth day that the diet is maintained, its droppings are precious gems, the color of which is determined by the color of the eyes and hair of its victims. The varakar, being of animal intelligence, cannot tell a virgin human from any other, so the intervention of its master is needed in selecting its food. A lapse in the diet (i.e., a nonvirgin or a nonhuman) results in its droppings resuming the normal cat-dropping state.
It is rare to find only one varakar; a mage who can enchant one usually enchants a number of them, and maintains some as hunters and others as jewel-makers, feeding the latter on children. Destroying such an individual is another good quest.

Description:
Once a week this item can hit any mark (within a thrown dagger's range) that the thrower desires. Thus, it automatically hits. But, the dagger can be affected by such spells as Stoneskin etc.. If a player insists on using the one shot for a "kill" shot, I just treat it as an automatic natural 20. The dagger only works if thrown. I've had players knock wands out of magic user's hands, hit ropes that are holding weights, you get the idea. It is +4 for purposes of minimum to hit requiremnets. The +4 is not added to damage, nor is it added when using the dagger in it's normal capacity.

A standard wooden rule. usuable 3x/day. Upon command, the user can set the ruler on the ground and cause it to measure a distance from where it was placed to a point (line of sight) indicated by the owner. Visibly, the effect is for the ruler to flop end over end in rapidly towards the indicated point and back. When the ruler finishes (at which time it should be back in its orignal starting position) the measured distance will be glowing magically on the ruler for all to see. The time it take for this measurement depends on the distance. The ruler measures at 1 fps (flop per second). i.e. 60 feet per minute. The ruler makes a slaping/floping noise as it traverses the distance and can be disrupted by being picked up.

This small, stupid, but unbearibly cute rodent has such a high charisma that it's almost impossible to resist "A-a-a-aw"ing at. It is terribly affectionate, and loves to be cuddled. The victim is inevitably drawn to holding it. After 1D10 minutes, however, the guinea pig gets very comfortable, and with a dainty sigh of relief pees all over whoever's holding it. Its high charisma saves it from being hurled across the room, and while it scrambles off squeaking , the victim will be distracted enough for someone to pick his pocket, sneak through a door, etc.

Title: Misc. Magical Items
Inventor: [email protected]
Author: Eric Jablow
Class: ANY
Subclass:
Cost:
Synopsis:
Description:
This was not quite a weenie magic item, but it's appropriate here. In Bill Seligman's Argothald campaign many years ago, our party entered the land of Fairy Tails to bring back an old witch we needed. We ended up repairing the Jack and the Beanstalk saga, which had gone wrong in this FairyLand. We were offered monetary treasure for our success, but we declined. After all, it wasn't dramatically appropriate. So, Bill and the party thought up some appropriate items; a Ruby Slipper that would fit the person most deserving to be King, a matching slipper for the person most deserving to be Queen, and the best of all, a Ruby Cricket statuette, which would whisper into its owner's ear what the ethical and moral thing for him to do in any situation. If he disobeyed it, nothing would happen, until he next slept. Then, he would have a truly horriblle nightmare. I think the one I remember was of him being eaten by a Demon, that he thought he had protected himself from, awakening as he was eaten, and being eaten again! We were all fooled by the description.
A few years ago at PrinceCon, I gave out a silver scrying bowl; an intelligent character could use it to communicate and to scry, but a dumb one would be transfixed by his reflection. A character with an INT of 3 used it, and he fell in love; he had been Disguised as a six-year old girl.

Description:
This object, when worn, will shrink upon command revealing more and more of the wearer's body thus distracting any and all male counterparts. If the saving throw versus magic is not made, the men around the woman will do various stupid things like run into walls, trip, or make strange burbling sounds as they try not to let it be know how they feel.
Although the bikini will shrink, it will or will not reveal anything depending upon the wearer's wishes. Thus, modesty in one might be flagrant display with another. The bikini will fit anyone of any size. The bikini also appears originally as a full body, 1920's style swimsuit.

Hopelessly idiotic situations no normal person would ever think of letting themselves get into abound. Everyone succumbs. The only way to get out of the embrace of the tome is by making an intelligence roll (3d6 < Int). Failure gives you two more tries, but each time your intelligence drops by half. Further, this drop lasts for a period of one day per point.
