Heart of a juvenile frost giant: This grisly yet beautiful artifact most likely is indeed what it is claimed to be, given the telltale markings, energy, and traits, but the tale of its acquisition has been badly fragmented over the ages. Its bearer gains +2 resistance to cold and all things that live in tundra environments at the cost of a deep and implacable feeling coldness that chills them to the bone; some also report feeling rather empty, in both physical and metaphysical senses.

Cuirass of the teeth git: Massive charisma bonus against low level green skins. Any enamel scale pulled off the cuirass will immediately grow back, giving you an infinite supply of high-quality teeth and a solid armor that is nearly impossible to wear out. Any green skin who thinks he can take it off you will immediately try to krump you though. Extreme weakness to the rare drill-type damage.

I for one would like an expansion of ordained bones and relics as cool magic items in games. I think it would be cool to call them "Saintbone [item]" or something. Imagine some guys Jawbone or finger fashioned into a knife that banishes ghosts and evil spirits or something

This is great because it provides a little grounding for the designs instead of being a copy of a copy of a copy and everything looks like WoW. There's so much cool stuff unexplored but everyone wants to "generate content".

Reminds me of the game Betrayer, which probably like 5 people remember at this point.

>Lovers embrace
>When the mouths are closed the items are indistinguishable amongst a bundle of normal roses. Common among women of noble birth who want to appear virtuous but aren't particularly fond of their suitor. The flowers are pressed to the lips of the user, a command word is spoken, and the roses are gifted over. The next full moon the roses animate, seeking out the suitor the roses were gifted to and devours them.

>can concentrate on a bird within sight to see through its eyes as long as concentration is held

This item is worthless.

>>95188799
Maybe have it keep working automatically as long as the bird is within line of sight?

>>95188814
Well sure, but if you're seeing through the bird's eyes, how can you tell if you're maintaining line of sight on it?

>>95188863
Hypothetical line of sight. Like an IR tv remote. Find out when you lose connection.

>>95188863
you need to keep in mind were you are and how the bird is moving to keep adjusting the angle of your neck to accompany it

>This cursed sword instantly teleports the owner to the location the owner is viewing once per round. The effect is continuous and teleports the owner every round. Should the owner try to block the effect by closing his eyes or otherwise blinding himself, the sword will teleport him to the Negative Energy Plane, the Demiplane of Shadow, or the system/setting equivalent.

>>95188799
You're confusing concentration and observation. You just have to have line of sight on the bird, it doesn't literally require you to look at it.
Fucking morons.

>>95188087
Blasphemous actually does this. Since it's based on degenerate medieval/early Renaissance Spanish Catholicism, some of the collectible items you can get are relics containing bones that supposedly belonged to saints. They mostly give you stat boosts I think, it's been a while since I played it.>>95188087

I think a better way to do it is they only have to be in line of sight for the initial transfer of awareness after which range is indefinite at the cost of the user's body being insensible until the effect is dismissed.

The Stabasus: A sword forged originally by an otherwise unassuming owner of a small medicine store to ward off earthly and supernatural threats. The beads are used to form adjustable circuits that make up various sequences of bagua trigrams. It is extremely finnicky to use as the function and power of the sword is not only affected by the trigram sequence formed, but also influenced by specific astrologically significant dates. Mastery of this weapon depend not so much on martial prowess but rather foresight and scrupulousness.

You are forgetting about the actual bonuses from +1 weapons: ability to hit etheral enemies and other weirdos.

Faerie Skulls: The faeries despise those who would keep parts of faeries as trophies. It is said that they can sense out even trace amounts of faerie wing dust in someone's material spell components bag. To possess such a morbid trophy as a faerie skull is a serious offense, which would be punished most painfully and severely. If a particularly devilish man should want to surreptitiously doom his foes, he need only plant a faerie skull in their bags...

Picking this ancient instrument up will instinctively teach the wielder how to play some basic tunes. The more they use it, the more they tend to hum a certain tune. The tune will spread between anyone who hears it, and hearing someone else singing it will instinctively make them sing along.

Nah it's still gay to tie all of that to +1 weapons because then wierdo enemies lose half their unique challenge the second +1 weapons show up because the party will never not be using that or better.

Given most people have decades left, how'd a clock show it in any meaningful way? The hands spin fast and you need to count how many rounds they make? It being a clock makes it useful in only niche cases like "did I just swallow fatal poison?". If the settingn doesn't have trivial healing magic I'd use it as a triage tool, anyone not showing minutes or hours left can be bumped further in line for treatment.

>>95207135
Cool, you could probably coax one out by bending a scaffold for the ice to form.

You could make it quite creepy with a small change:
>clock shows Midnight for new borns
>Goes around all 12 hours throught your life time
>when it strikes 12 again, you die.
So, it's pretty much your life expectancy-clock.
You can make some creepy shit with it because of the implications:
>a young person holds it, it lurches forward to 23:30
>someone under a curse will see the hours pointer move back and forth between 4:00 and 5:00
>an old decrypt man, lying in bed, consumed by a terrible deasease touches it, and it shows 1:32 implying he'll somehow leave centuries (possibly, always aflicted with that disease)
>someone in his 30's touches it, it marks 4:00, he then reads a letter that arrived today. He's disturbed by the later and carelessly touches it. It now marks 21:00

Lots to do with something like that. Can also unwind for the local princess in case you managed to save her from the which or some other good ending but, come on. It's a skull. It must be used for creepy shenanigans
