This masquerade mask is valuable not just for the materials and crafter's skill that went into making it, but also for the story of its first owner.

Clap your hands to do some seriously loud damage (or just use them for your unarmed strikes to add it bit of rumbly hurt).

This little spell can teleport you as far as misty step can, but you can only cast it as a reaction to getting hurt and you don't getto choose the distance or direction you go.

This farm/orchard has a magical weagon that saves them a lot of time and work by moving itself along a designated path, guided only by brightly painted guardrails.

This particular treasure is the symbol of office for an elected monarch, a reminder that the power of that throne comes not from inheritance, but from the people of that nation.

Some messages on my Discord server led me to thinking about a song from a musical (which I'd sung in choir way back in high school). This, of course, led me to making this homebrew.

At the end of August, I asked the people on my Discord server to each give me a random word so that I had some inspiration for new D&D poisons (I'm currently working on poisons for my upcoming sourcebook).
The words I was given were tremulous, disheartening,
For Treasure Tuesday #10, I decided to make something that isn't necessarily worth thousands of gold coins, but it might be incrdibly valuable to the right person due to sentimental value or association with a particular person.

For my upcoming sourcebook, I'm currently working on poisons. I've started with the 14 poisons from the SRD, updating them and rewriting them to conform to the general format I'm using for poisons in my book. Some of them are getting additional effects or information.
One thing I'm adding to some of them is a delay betw...

It's Treasure Tuesday, and that means a new, free, nonmagical item for use in your games' treasure hoards, museums, rich people houses, and black markets.
I know it's been a week since I posted anything at all. I was busy with prep for Coulee Con, then there was the convention, then catching up on sleep and house work. ...

A solid gold base and cage hold a glass jar, which holds a feather. A temple has used this reliquary to lure people in for decades.

This 1st level spell lets you transform into an animal, much like a druid does with Wild Shape.
There are limits to this though: It's only a CR 0 or 1/8 animal from from a specific list, it requires concentration, and, once you pick your animal form, it's always that same animal form every time you cast the spell.
This could be the target of art thieves or wealthy collectors, just like valuable real-life artwork.
This was created for Treasure Tuesday, the day every week that I create a nonmagical treasure for nobles, museums, black markets, dragon hoards, or other places you'd find valuable loot.

This Treasure Tuesday creation was initially inspired by The Italian Job (2003), then I decided that it could also be part of a supposed map to a bigger treasure.
The lower end value of this is just for the gold itself, which for standard D&D stuff is 50 gp per pound.
