Collections from the Armory Arcana Vol. 1

Be it as a reward for aiding others, a prize plucked from the grasp of a defeated foe, or something discovered by chance in the ruins of an ancient civilization, the acquisition of magical arms and armor is always tantalizing to those who seek adventure. The prospect of uncovering their mysteries is thrilling, and the power attained is both tangible and immediate. This is made all the more so if the item is one of myth and legend, as now its next chapter is to be written with new hands.

This can also be something that brings apprehension. What if the item brings with it a terrible price, or some lasting misfortune? Not all tales end happily after all. Yet, fortune favors the bold, and safety begets no heroes. The life of the adventurer is one fraught with risks, what’s one more when it could unlock new opportunities?

Collected here are a selection of homebrew weapons, armor, and other items that boast a myriad of strange and awesome powers, collected from my own homebrew D&D 5e games and adapted from games of editions past. I'll be making a few of these, so stay tuned and keep your eyes peeled for more to come!
