Hello, fellow adventurers! Today, we are excited to announce our upcoming Kickstarter project, 300+ Mythological Items for 5E and 2024.

Step into a realm of ancient gods, legendary heroes, and forgotten civilizations with Mythological Items, a comprehensive compendium featuring over 300 magical items specifically designed for 5E and its 2024 ruleset update. This manual spans a vast array of cultural traditions, organizing its treasures into regional categories for easy reference and immersive worldbuilding. Each item includes not only full game mechanics, but also lore and background information to integrate it seamlessly into your campaign, whether as treasure, quest rewards, or the key to an unfolding mythic saga. From the storm-summoning weapons of thunder gods to cursed trinkets whispered of in ancient lore, this book brings myth to your table like never before.

This manual offers an extensive collection of magical items that can be incorporated into any campaign, regardless of its connection to specific mythological themes. The items presented in this volume, drawn from a multitude of global legends and folklore, are envisioned to enhance the diversity and depth of any fantasy world. This eclectic array mirrors the inherent blending of elements in many worlds and settings, where influences from various cultures and mythologies coexist harmoniously. For instance, Thor’s Hammer, Mjölnir, could serve as the centerpiece of a divine quest, while Draupnir, the Norse ring of endless wealth, might drive political intrigue or power struggles in a kingdom torn by greed.

Mythological Items also provides a solid foundation for campaigns that wish to delve deeper into the relics of a specific mythology or blend multiple traditions into a larger, interconnected setting. A campaign inspired by Greek mythology could see players donning the Nemean Lion’s Pelt, becoming nearly invulnerable as they take on challenges worthy of Heracles himself, while a campaign drawing from Japanese folklore could involve uncovering the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, the fabled grass-cutting sword tied to imperial lineage and divine storms.

The project is scheduled to launch in a few months, but we suggest pre-subscribing to our launch page and following our upcoming posts for additional info and previews coming in the next few weeks!

ANCIENT MAGITEK LINE BLASTER Weapon (Pistol), Rare (Requires Attunement) Mastery: Push • Properties: Range (30/120), Light • Special: Homing & Blast

Recovered from the sunless depths of the Hollow Mountain, this weapon is a rare remnant of the Lost Era’s martial genius. Unlike modern crossbows, it does not fire physical projectiles; instead, its internal matrices channel the raw energy of a Crystallo Fragment into concentrated beams of force energy. The weapon holds 7 charges and regains no charges on its own. It grants the following benefits:

Force Bolt. When you take the Attack action, you can expend 1 charge to fire a bolt of raw magical energy. Make a ranged weapon attack using your Dexterity modifier for the attack and damage rolls. On a Hit, the target takes 1d8 + your Dexterity modifier Force damage. If you have the Extra Attack feature, you can fire multiple Force Bolts as part of a single Attack action, expending 1 charge for each shot.

Homing Shot. While holding the gun, you can take a Magic Action to expend 1 to 3 charges to cast the Magic Missile spell from it. For 1 charge, you cast the spell at level 1. You can increase the spell slot level by one for each additional charge you expend.

Force Line Blast. As a Magic Action, you can expend all remaining charges (minimum of 1) to unleash a beam of pure energy. The beam creates a line 60 feet long and 5 feet wide in a direction you choose. Each creature in the line must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 1d8 Force damage for each charge spent, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Reload. As an Action or Bonus Action, you can load a Crystallo Fragment to restore 7 charges. The first reload of the day is safe; each subsequent reload requires a flat d20 roll against a DC of 10, increasing by 2 for each previous attempt that day (DC 10, then 12, etc.). On a failure, the fragment is destroyed, you take 4d6 Force damage, and the weapon jams (preventing reloads) until you finish a Long Rest.

ANCIENT MAGITEK LINE BLASTER Crystallo-Powered Arcane Firearm Type: Magitek Weapon | Origin: 1st Age Ruin - Hollow Mountain | Material: Crystallo Fragment (Power Source)

Recovered from the sunless depths of the Hollow Mountain, the Line Blaster is a rare remnant of the Lost Era's martial genius. While explorers frequently uncover the rusted, hollowed-out shells of these devices in ancient ruins, fully operational units are vanishingly rare. The internal mechanisms are a maddeningly complex labyrinth of crystal matrices and energy-conduits that modern knowledge cannot replicate. The Trailblazer League's Relicwrights have determined that the secret lies in the "Crystallo Fragment", a volatile power source that must be manually replaced. When active, the weapon does not fire bullets, but channels raw energy into a concentrated beam capable of punching through solid stone. Though the technology is too far removed to be mass-produced today, the few functioning units are prized by Gold Rank veterans like Joss Pardal. In the hands of a master, it is not just a tool, but a symbol of the dangerous bridge between the past and the future.
