ITT: Joke enchantments you've put on items and given to a player.


My personal favorite is a sword that just screams really, really loudly when it's unsheathed.
>>
I had something similar, a sword called the Sword of the Great Seal.


It just played "Kissed by a Rose" whenever it was unsheathed.
>>
>>48791229
Why are you an asshole
>>
A ring of invisibility, given by a shifty man in an alleyway.

When worn, the ring turns invisible.

I'm a fan of doing this kind of thing, if you'd like to hear more that I or others have done.
>>
>>48791250
how often do you do this sort of thing? because past a certain point it stops being funny and just makes you a dick
>>
>>48791242
It's fun.

>>48791241
That's beautiful.


Another one I had, which was similar to >>48791250

was the pants of Almost Invisibility. It was said that if you unbuckled the pants, you turned invisible. However, what really happened, was that the pants turned invisible, but you thought you were invisible.
>>
>>48791288
Few and far between, in order to avoid it becoming something like that. It's become somewhat of an in joke within the game, though, as I'll bring up this "rather shifty" looking man every few times they enter certain districts of larger cities. Every time they come across him, I always describe him with a certain look and disposition, but each time is done in a different order and using different words That mean the same thing. In the end, though, I always have him say "'Got some quaaaality yet affordable items for sale, lads." So they know who he is.

My point with him wasn't to fuck with and screw over the players, hence why I made it obvious who he was.
I just want them to come across this guy and be like "oh, it's him what crazy bullshit does he have this time?" And then have fun with it.
>>
I've got one I've wanted to try, not entirely a joke but not unambiguously useful either:
>Mace of merger
>A dull mace with a shiny ruby on its pommel
>When you strike something made from non-organic material with it, the object will merge a little into the mace and remain there
>Strike a rock, you now have a rock on the end of your mace.
>Strike someones sword or shield and it will stick to your mace like they were one and the same object all along
>Strike a wall, your mace is now part of that wall
>Merged objects accumulate and gain the same properties as the surface of the mace. The more stuff you strike, the more stuff you have one the mace
>When you press the red ruby like a button, all merged object are expelled from the mace and fall to the floor

Thoughts?

Reminds me of the time I played a fantasy-homebrew, and there was a guy named Shady Joe. We encountered him in every city, every town, every nation.

We started to get really confused, until we went to this mysterious island nation just off the Coast. It turns out that all of the Shady Joe's we saw were just infiltrators of a clone army that was about to invade the mainland.

We hit that fucking island with the equivalent of a thermonuclear bomb.

Pic related, it's Shady Joe. He'd even open with the 'WHATRE YA BUYIN', WHATRE YA SELLIN'

>>48791381
Assuming D&D-type rules.
Mace of Merger sounds like a pretty cool item, bud. If I start clinging silver to it, does it then do silvered-weapon damage? Can it stick things to it without smashing the mace into it, and make my mace anoint goblins with alchemist fire? Does pressing the button count as a "use object" action?
>>
>>48791381
If I hit a golem in the crotch with it, would I have a golem-mace, or would the golem have a dick?
>>
I've never really made a lot of joke enchantments for my own campaigns, but I have homebrewed joke effects for serious magic items.

>Coffer of Fluid Funds
>Jewelry box that turns gems and small art objects into coins, much like the 4E ritual it was based on
>If the coffer would produce more than 1,000 coins in a single transaction, a fountain of gold-painted wooden coins would burst free of the jewelry box immediately, throwing the lid into the user's face and possibly damaging other nearby creatures
>>
>>48791510
"Both" I'd assume
>>
>>48791510
Not the OP, but you just lost your mace, and the golem can now fulfill sexual requests from its master
>>
>>48791531
But what if I'm its master?
>>
>>48791538
Congrats, you are about to be pegged by a golem and have a very sore ass
>>
>>48791469
I'm not a D&D player so I'll try to answer fluff-wise.

>If I start clinging silver to it, does it then do silvered-weapon damage
Depends how. If you carefully smack it into silver coins so that the entire surface is covered, definitely. If you just hit a silver ingot, you now have a mace with a silver ingot sticking out of it. You can always try to hit your foe with just the right side.

>Can it stick things to it without smashing the mace into it
No. The force you hit the object with actually determines how deep the object will sink into the mace before merging.
Also, I understand alchemist fire is a liquid explosive? The mace only works on solids. You can hit the glass bottle without being broken by the mace, but it will probably break from the rebound it gets from the table it's standing on.
Maybe if you place the bottle on a cushion and then hit it....

>Does pressing the button count as a "use object" action
From my limited knowledge on the dynamic of D&D: yes.

>>48791510
whynotboth.jpg
Actually, it will most likely look like the golem has a penis, since you probably can't lift the golem-mace anymore. But the golem shouldn't get too exited, as soon as someone touches that red button, the mace will detach itself again.
Leaving the golem with blue cogs.
>>
>Wand of Spell Reversal
A wand that aims from the handle, not the tip.
>Sword of Maiming
It sure is.
>Draught of Elixir of Potion
Refreshing, but fundamentally useless. Because it's water.
>>
>>48791568
>implying that the anon didn't know that
Pretty sure he'd have crafted a special "sheath" for the handle so it's difficult to hit button while it's over the mace
>>
>>48791531

Congratulations, you've solved the golem's frustration and completed the encounter.
>>
>Axe of the Berserker
Yeah, no shit. He wants it back.
>Gloves of Far Striding
Hope you can do a handstand.
>Arrow of Summon Steed
Imagine getting shot. Now imagine a horse just bursting out of nowhere. It sees you, and starts sprinting at you.
How do you keep your shit together in a situation like that, huh?
>>
>Blade of Latency
anything cut by it becomes invisible until the wound closes naturally, be it from scabbing over for a little knick, or healing completely in the event of nastier cuts. Good luck suturing gashes shut yourself though, because unless you have good spatial cognition, you're invisible even to yourself. Also, the invisibility only extends to the materials on your person at the time of being wounded, so stitches and hot items you load up in your pockets will still be invisible
>>
>Vapal Blade
Obnoxious plumes of smoke pour from the wielder's orifices obscuring all view.
>Knife of Mercy
Looks darkedgy as all shit, but the blade retracts under pressure. Pops back out due to a flimsy spring in the handle.
>Mace of Fury
You don't feel any different when holding it, but people sure do get angry when you hit them with it.

Congratulations wearer! You're now aware that you were created by some human to adventure in an imaginary world! Nothing you do really matters, because the human they call the DM is the truest and closest thing to a God for you, and is the reason why all those creatures ambushed your party.
Roll 2d100 to see if your character commits immediate suicide. 10 or less is successful in keeping your character alive, though no one will believe them about any of this Truth unless they wear the ring. NPCs are auto suicide

>Hornet Dagger
Secretes as much poison as a single hornet sting. Recharges after an hour of high pitched buzzing.
>Blade of the Maiden
An intelligent blade that is convinced it's a young woman, despite having the voice of Gilbert Gottfried. Emits an audible moan when unsheathed, followed by breathless panting.
>Diplomat's Instrument
Gain a significant bonus to verbal diplomacy for as long as you are playing this instrument. It's a mouth organ.

Watch the party commit TPK because of the ring.
Then watch the players make more and more character until you have a complete party who knows the truth. Incidentally, they continued making only bards and clerics: soon they start a cult to the so-called 'GM' in order to make the world a better place.

Congratulations, you wrote yourself in a corner: what is the next step in your master plan?

A magical Quartz gem that with bring life back to someone, providing they have only died recently.
However it's a suppository, and only provides life for as long as it remains inserted. This means that you are more or less functionally immortal, but you die when you have to take it out to take a shit, since you still have to eat and everything. Unless you're a monk.

A cursed item, the Fool Cap. It appears to be a wizard hat that grants +2 Int or something like that.

>Coin of Reproduction
a magical coin made from some unknown metal. If you hold it and another coin between your thumb and forefinger and rub them together, it creates a new coin for every second you keep rubbing them together, meaning you can basically become a fountain of money. you can't go overboard with it though, otherwise you make the current currency essentially worthless while drastically increasing the prices for everything in the world.

a nodachi with magical edge enchantment

it can do everything the average weeaboo claims what a katana can do, but needs a good amount of mana to do it. (it adds cutting damage proportional to mana input)

made it as a joke reaction to the armchair historian at the table , so he can see people literally slicing armor and non-protective enchanted weapons with a shitty sword.
in the end , weapons with long blades such as two-handers and nagimakas became the most effective melee weapon of non-formation combat for the current campaign.

I also recently had players hear from a bard about a castle with a legendary Armor of Invincibility, but when they got there, it was the Armoire of Invincibility. Stole that from the old 8-Bit Theater comic, which was what first got me into role playing like a hundred years ago.

In Barbarians of Lemuria, I had a Bard who the players encountered in every tavern and every town, who kept telling them the same stories trying to feed them adventure hooks, which they always refused to bite on. He kept denying that he was the same Bard from other places and saying he had no idea what they were talking about. They even invited one of him along on an adventure once, and he drowned, then appeared again in the next town.

Finally near the end of the campaign, they went through some elaborate plan to poison a court jester they really hated. The guy who killed him was so happy he'd gotten rid of the annoying little fuck, and I remember looking around the table and seeing the Bard token standing over by the fountain dancing for the king, and I was like,
"Uh oh, Bard is evolving!"
And I changed his token to the Jester.

Players seemed to like that.

The party rogue decided to steal from the arch bishop of a countries capital city and walked out with a cursed set of gloves.

Each time he stole something, or commited an affront to the god of that church the gloves gained 5 lbs of weight, the weight would not lift itself until he went to a church of the god in question and confessed his crimes/ made donations proportionate to the crimes committed.

> Long story short the rogue was stubborn and got used to running around and fighting with an extra 30 plus pounds on him, as a result he kept getting stronger and took a few levels in barbarian. Needless to say the arch bishop was pissed when he found out his clever deception had just made the rogue a better and more deadly thief.

Every successful attack caused appropriate damage and then 1d6 rounds later an effect from the 10,000 magical effects table.

I'm really fond of unusual magic items with useful properties alongside weird ones.

In our current campaign, we got a hold of a Repeating Crossbow. If it hits a target, then so long as that target is in line of sight and stays in an approximate 5ft area of it being hit (through being still, or being huge), and the shooter does as well, subsequent attacks with the crossbow will automatically hit.

It also repeats everything the wielder says in a loud, articulate, announcing voice. That's why the rogues don't use it, and the sorceror does.

And to elaborate further, when a successful PC talks to the GM or the player characters, time around that person stands still, but they are rooted to the spot. A thief couldn't roam around stealing while talking to us, a warrior couldn't slice off the neck of that goblin that peeked his head out to the commotion of putting on and surviving the ring. If they insisted on getting some sort of blessing for "passing the test" I would make sure to make it clear that they have no right to ask for favors, like forcing them to walk behind a partymember and withdraw a blade and hold it to their frozen comrade's throat. Show that even when they alone cannot move while talking to "God", "God" is ultimately in control during the grand scheme of things. I would tell them that I am the reason the BBEG exists, the suffering that currently plagues the world is mine as well. Some of those greatly outweigh the good I may have done, and it all still comes down solely to amusement.

Could a magical staff with the eye of some scheming, cunning greater deity, and thus able to cast ALL existing spells (and even some nonexisting ones) be considered a joke item if given to some incompetent, batshit crazy elven bard who likes to pretend she's a real archmage and actually believes almost every successful effect she casts happens because the staff is obeying her?

Things such as giving butterfly wings to a pirate ship, growing a forest inside an inn, turning thieves into plum puddings and giant hamsters, turning kobolds into chocolate, turning sea dragons into sardine, etc.

That reminds me of when a version of me appeared in my homebrew campaign last year.

My players' characters stumbled into an extradimensional rift and found themselves in a sort of "doors of dimensions" complex that was being used as the homebase for some sort of macrocosmic creator god. After some exploration - which included desert islands, stormy bays, mountain lakes, flooded libraries, frozen rivers and so on - they got to a strange little house (mine), and found a man there, writing things in a beaten-up old book held together with tape (my campaign book).

That version of me immediately freaked out at seeing the PCs, since their presence meant that he himself was in a campaign, a creation of another entity - me. He calmed down, set them up with a boss rush as a sort of prize for getting that far, then kicked them out with loot and memory loss of the whole event.

I'm not likely to see the PCs myself, I think.

I'm not a fan of self insertion like that, and the whole ordeal as a PC would leave a bad taste in my mouth. It serves no greater purpose than "here's some loot, oh and you forget everything that just happened. Buh-bye!"
At least if they survived the suicide save-roll, it changes the play for THAT player the rest of the game, and ultimately the only way you know what the enchantment does is if someone in the group puts it on (and even then it doesn't exist between the players whose character DIDN'T wear the ring), and is more like an in world easteregg that doesn't ultimately detract from the main quest. Granted, that's just my take on the matter, and I can't speak for your players. They could've loved it, they could've hated it. They could've been unimpressed for all I know.

It can be farmed for poison the same way snakes are - by stabbing it through the lid of a container.

Player wound up getting an invincible cat that would get coated in grease whenever a spell was cast on it.

It was fucking hilarious.

True enough, but if you can command animals like a Druid, you'll have no problem.

1/4 the cost of a regular bag of holding, but is just a bag. Not even an enchanted one at that. You got scammed, dumbass

Eat it, and you will learn something very appalling— you just bit a worm in half

No, the flying screaming skull that is also on fire is coincidence. Dunno why it disappears when you take that ring off though. No one else seems to pay it much mind anyways

You can only paint dicks with it. They are incredibly well detailed ones too.

You'll never have to go to the toilet again! Just please don't ask where it all goes. You really wouldn't want to know

You only need to fill it once, and it'll never leave you thirsty. Too bad it doesn't have a lid, nor will one fit it. It's really stubborn that way... Shit, how're you gonna adventure without spilling something constantly? And why won't anyone buy the damned thing from you?!

>>48803879
No. The definition of magical realm is a situation that the GM puts the players in, reflecting one of his fetishes that the players are uncomfortable with.
>>
>>48792157
I don't think so, but if I recall correctly the plagas guys wouldn't fuck with him in areas where they could get to him. They would leave him alone. So it's theorized that he's infested, but has control like the higher level plagas hosts do.

So It fucks up hard any armored opponent? What is the force required for It to work? Do I have to keep It in a bag at all times when not used? What is the mass limit deciding what gets merged into what?

To me, the whole thing is less than a weapon and more of a plot device.
>>
>>48804987
Ehh, my players loved it. It wasn't entirely out of the blue, and they got to have a weird meta-conversation with not-me that left them rolling.

It was also pretty much the very last event in the game, since the rift was caused by the dimensional instability left behind by the Really Very Last Boss For Real This Time.

Haven't done much in the world building side of gaming yet there's always handing out sweaty armor and shields.

Necklace of levitation is my favorite, you put it on and it floats up into the sky.

>>48807578
No it wouldn't

You would still need the strength to hold the mace+whatever you stick to it

If you don't have the strength to rip of someone's armor, it does shit to their armor

If the coins don't work your government is using fake silver.

Imagine how an adventurer would feel upon learning that

>So It fucks up hard any armored opponent?
Not really. You don't damage the armor, you just stick your mace to the armor. You could use the mace as tactical leverage during the fight, which you should, but I don't think its easy or without risk.

>What is the force required for It to work?
If you put enough force behind it to hurt an unprotected head, it will work.

>What is the force required for It to work?
No you can just hold it or put it on a belt. If it hits non-organic material with enough force in the process, it will merge however.

>What is the mass limit deciding what gets merged into what?
I'm not sure you follow me or I follow you. When you hit a solid, it will sink into your mace a little and then remain stationary there. It just becomes one object, they merge into each other. It's just a matter of perspective: if you can still lift the mace after it merged with a rock, you have a mace with a rock sticking out of it/ If you can't lift the mace after it merged with a rock, you have a rock with a mace sticking out of it.

>To me, the whole thing is less than a weapon and more of a plot device.
Well it's not a straight-up damage dealing weapon and you could use it for various other situations, but it's not intended to move the plot along.
