Angelskin Vestments / Angelskin Undergarments

a chainmail vest made out of magical rings.

Water Sword +2, flows around attacks, hard to defend against, cuts through armor like a high-pressure water-jet cutter.

Heroic Scarf: It's a long red scarf. Enemies are mysteriously unable to grab it, and you feel brave and heroic when you wear it.

One more I can think of was Corkscrew +2.
Could be used as Punching Dagger -2 (for being a corkscrew) / +2 (for enchantment). While the total bonus to attack roll was zero it still was a +2 weapon for purpose of harming creatures that can only be harmed by magical weapon.
It was also McGuffin to open Vintage Bottle +1.

This is preposterously brilliant. The amount of antics you can pull with this is unlimited.

>The first session of my very first game, back in high school when I was an edgy little shit and didn't now a fucking thing about tabletop gaming, my rogue found a "sword of blasphemy" in our first dungeon.
>Fuck yeah, that sounds great.
>Didn't even ask what it does.
>Scout ahead, come across a room with a few dozen orcs, all sleeping.
>Take my new magical sword and attempt to start silently murdering all of them.
>Swing at the first one I see.
>As the blade glides through the air, the chamber is filled with a deafening cry of "GOD ISN'T REAL."
>I am summarily fucked to death by 30 orcs.

Dude was jackass, but it was hilarious, and I'm glad he did it. A lesson was learned that day.

Kek, similar happened in a old game with a "Cursing sword"

My favorites were a giant portable ram that blasted anything it hit back 10 feet, especially inanimate objects, and gauntlets that let the player fire balls of electricity.

The party had those items used against them, killed the enemies using them, tossed them in a bag, and ran into a door with a lock they couldn't pick at the end of a bridge. Then they gave up and the game died, because they didn't think I would give them useful loot, after everyone had been bragging to me about how they were going to loot the dungeon completely.

Friend got a sentient magic ring named jerry which didn't do anything other than be sentient but it had really high int, cha, and wis. The friend was playing a barbarian so whenever a situation arose that required thought he would just ask Jerry.

That is completely fantastic.

As for items I once encountered a "Hex-Fletcher" dude who was like an enchanting ranger, and had a Quiver that enchanted each arrow kept in it. Some Green-Arrow esque shenanigans were had.

One of the more interesting items that I never got to see used well was the cloak of semi invisibility.

It wouldn't make you invisible, it'd just make people assume you're meant to be there. In places where there's more than one reason to be there, I'd have them roll to see what people thought. If they're walking through a prison with it on, guards may assume they're another guard, or they may think they're an escaped prisoner.

Dancing Sword

I fucking adore Dancing Sword, entirely because of how much it lets you turn casters into DMC characters. Take for instance a bard. Now, as a bard you could either hit someone with your sword, or use your magical powers due to the number of actions you have available. Now, with the Dancing Sword, you get to have your sword hit someone on its own while you play a sick lute solo. Not only that, but it auto-tracks, if you're really speccing into Character-Action Bard, you can do awesome shit like throw it at someone, activate it so it starts attacking them, then dimension door to the sword to pick it back up after you've buffed up.

Dancing swords are fucking awesome.

I dont know if it counts but once I made a beefy wizard and I was out of spells, when a bunch of cunts jumped the party.

I yelled "I CAST MAGIC MISSILE"

DM:"you cant cast that".

Anon:"I cast... uh... punch".
*rolls 1d20, get an 18"

DM:"you knock your target out"

It was about then that I started watching If The Emperor Had a TTS Device, so every time I punched someone in that campaign I would yell out "I CAST FIST"

I never played with those guys again but I heard that the DM added "fist" as a joke spell if you got a high STR

the light crossbow
it was a crossbow that could glow brightly
it also looked like a modern speargun, so it was easier to use indoors and weighed less

I had a wand of summoning that spawned wands of summoning (that produced more wands of summoning).

I didn't make it, nor was I in the party that used it, but I have heard the legends.

antimagic bucket. it's a wooden bucket that has a small anti magic field on the inside.

never had a clear story how they found it, but I was told of how they defeated a lich by putting the bucket on his head and beating him senseless while he was blind and unable to cast spells
