Hypnoyo

We promise this item won't make your players feel very sleepy when you give it to them. It's our latest #DnD magic item ready for your campaigns.

If you like our work and want to see more of it, drop a follow. We always appreciate it!
Hypnoyo Wondrous Item, Rare This trinket appears to be one of the oldest and most beloved children’s toys, the yo-yo. With a swirling red and white striped pattern on the sides, gazing at this particular toy for too long makes your eyes feel heavy and your breathing grows shallow. The axle of this toy is remarkably well greased allowing it to hold its spin much longer than more common variants and the string itself is composed of a tightly hand-wrapped threading that speaks to extreme care being taken in its craft. Breakaway. Once per round while you hold this yo-yo in one hand, you can use a bonus action to perform a quick maneuver to distract someone within 5 feet of you. The target must succeed on a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw or suffer a -1 penalty to AC against your next melee weapon attack. Brain Twister. Twice per day while holding this yo-yo in one hand, you can use an action to perform a dizzying display of twisting tricks that can confound a creature within 5 feet of you. The target must succeed on a DC 17 Intelligence saving throw to keep up with the tricks or become charmed for 1 minute. While charmed in this way, the creature is incapacitated and has a speed of 0. The spell ends for an affected creature if it takes any damage or if someone else uses an action to shake the creature out of its stupor. Uses of this ability reset daily at dawn.

Lamplighter Flail, Rare This flail has a spiked lantern mounted to the end of its chain where one would normally expect a heavy ball of steel. The handle is adorned with two hung banners bearing the mark of the Lamplighters. Though they started as simple servants lighting the candles and lanterns of darkened castles, they eventually grew into some of the nobility’s most trusted protectors. With their modified flails serving both practical and combat oriented purposes, those who carry their banner bring light to the darkest corners where evil may reside. You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magical weapon. This flail has two states that can be changed between by twisting the handle using a bonus action. The first state is darkened. When you hit a creature with an attack using this weapon while it is darkened, they become covered in a sticky, flammable oil. The oil persists for 1 minute or until the creature immerses themselves in water. There is enough oil in the lantern to coat three creatures before it must be refilled using an action. Each pint of oil poured into the lantern is enough to coat one creature. The second state is illuminated. While illuminated, the lantern sheds bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light for an additional 30 feet. While illuminated, when you hit a creature that has previously been covered in oil with an attack, they are set ablaze in a ball of bright flame taking 3d8 fire damage instantly and 1d6 fire damage at the end of their turn for the next 1 minute. If the creature uses an entire turn to go prone and roll or if they immerse themselves fully in water, they stop taking fire damage at the end of their turn. Lamplighter ITEM 6 Fire, Magical Price 220 gp Usage held in 2 hands; Bulk 2 This +1 striking war flail has a spiked lantern mounted to the end of its chain where one would normally expect a heavy ball of steel. The handle is adorned with two hung banners bearing the mark of the Lamplighters. Though they started as simple servants lighting the candles and lanterns of darkened castles, they eventually grew into some of the nobility’s most trusted protectors. With their modified flails serving both practical and combat oriented purposes, those who carry their banner bring light to the darkest corners where evil may reside. This war flail has two states that can be changed between by twisting the handle using one action. The first state is darkened. When you successfully strike a creature while the weapon is darkened, they become covered in a sticky, flammable oil. The oil persists for 1 minute or until the creature immerses themselves in water. There is enough oil in the lantern to coat three creatures before it must be refilled using an interact action. Each pint of oil poured into the lantern is enough to coat one creature. The second state is illuminated. While illuminated, the lantern sheds light in a 30-foot radius (and dim light in the next 30 feet). While illuminated, when you successfully strike a creature that has previously been covered in oil, they are set ablaze in a ball of bright flame taking 2d10 fire damage (DC 20 basic Reflex save) and 4 persistent fire damage.

We make a lot of formats for our items so our supporters can use them however they like. Some folks have asked me how we do that.

I'm glad to tell you, we don't do each one by hand. Templates and variable replacement in Illustrator saves so much time. Here's a sample of one of the layouts.

Judging by the TTRPG industry's swing toward "cozy" the last few years, I'd expect a shift back the other way soon where we start getting more "uncomfy" games.

Personally I'm excited for "Wet Socks & Floor Lego" to pop off.

Undergoing the process of writing new marketing copy and so on for our various presences across the web and it's wild how much has changed since we started 4 years ago.

I feel like I've seen a lifetime of creators come and go while we've just been making silly little magic items.

I've been marketing adjacent for 17 years in my career and writing marketing content actually comes easily to me.

Something folks forget a lot is that you need to tell people the value you're offering and that needs to be more than "I made this". Explain how your thing makes their games better.

The power to bend the winds around you all in the convenient form factor of a hand fan. Pretty rad eh?

We make new inventive magic items for your games every week. Follow to see them as they drop and support us on Patreon to help us keep creating. patreon.com/abyssalbrews
Kinusen Wondrous item, rare This hand painted, silken fan always smells of a fresh spring breeze. Fanning yourself with it causes illusory cherry blossom petals to form and swirl around you whimsically before fading away when they touch the ground. While holding this fan, you can use an action to flutter it and cause a field of swirling winds and cherry blossom petals to form in a 10 ft. radius around you. Ranged weapon attacks made with small projectiles such as arrows, bolts, and sling bullets are made at disadvantage if they target a creature within the winds. Ranged weapon attacks with larger projectiles such as javelins take a -2 penalty to their attack roll if they target creatures within the winds. Very large projectiles such as siege weaponry are unaffected. You can use a bonus action on subsequent turns to continue fanning the winds for up to 1 minute. You can do this a number of times per day equal to half of your proficiency bonus rounded down, recharging after dawn when the fan is held in a breeze. If a ranged weapon attack made against a creature in the winds misses, the projectile is caught in the gusts until the wind field ends. When a hostile creature starts their turn in the winds or enters it for the first time, they take 1d6 slashing damage per projectile caught in the winds.
