Bottle of Messages

These glass bottles and stoppers are made in a variety of designs and colors, but all are as strong as steel. A user may speak upto 25 words into the bottle, which will then be perfectly repeated by the bottle when its stopper is next removed. Small objects, liquids, or even gases may be put into it as per any bottle. This item does not require attunement to use.

Into the Sea: If this bottle is thrown into a pond-sized body of liquid or larger while thinking of a specific creature the user is familiar with the bottle will drift away, fading from existence over the course of 1 round. As long as the target creature is on the same world the bottle will appear near them in d4 days drifting or rolling towards them as it appears over the course of 1 round. The target creature will magically have its attention drawn to the bottle, alerting them of its presence. Alternatively the user may think of a specific location they are familiar with and as long as it is on the same world the bottle will be delivered there as above, except that no one will be magically made aware of its presence. If the bottle is undeliverable for any reason it will instead return to the user in d4 days as long as they are still on the same world.
Into the Beyond: If thrown into the Astral Sea the bottle works as above save that it can now reach any creature or place on the Astral Plane in d4 days and any creature or place on a world reachable via the Astral Plane in d6 days. (Note for earlier editions this becomes thrown into Wildspace or the Phlogiston and arrives anywhere in the same Crystal Sphere in d4 days or anywhere in a different Crystal Sphere in d6 days.)

--

At least one resourceful pirate has repeatedly escaped imprisonment after only a few days by placing a set of thieves' tools along with his trust magic dart in one such bottle and regularly sending the bottle to himself.

David-S Old School Version. Arinix is the deity of luck and fortune in my campaign world.

Arinix's Coin

This magical silver coin bears the face of Arinix, God of Fortune, on both sides. One face smiles broadly, while the other scowls. If it lands on the scowling face, the reversal of fortune is triggered.

Reversal of Fortune: Once per day, the bearer may toss the coin into the air and invoke Arinix's name. For 1 turn (10 rounds), fortune is reversed in a 100-foot radius around the coin.

For the duration, all bonuses to attack rolls and saving throws become penalties, and all penalties become bonuses. For example, a creature that would normally receive +2 to an attack roll instead suffers –2. A creature suffering –3 to a roll instead receives +3. The effect applies to all creatures and effects within the area, including the bearer. Bonuses or penalties that arise after the coin is activated are also reversed.

The bearer may end the effect at any time by picking up the coin. It can be used once every 24 hours.

Rumour: It is said that Arinix created the coins after a mortal gambler complained that fortune was never fair. Arinix agreed, and made certain that, for a brief time, bad luck was every bit as powerful as good luck.

Gnomish Firenado Gun

This unusual gnomish contraption is generally gun-shaped, being about the size of a short-barreled rifle with a hand crank mounted on one side, a set of metal fan blades at the business end, and a small tube and nozzle that extends over top of the fan, angling into the airflow created by the fan. Inside the metal stock of the contraption are a pair of crystals - a red one containing a bound Fire Elemental and a clear one containing a bound Air Elemental. This weapon requires two hands to operate (one to hold and point it and one to turn the crank). It does not require attunement to use, and uses the wielder's spell save DC and spell attack bonus.

Firenado: As an action the user of this contraption can cast a special combination of Aganazzar's Scorcher (2nd-Level version) and Gust of Wind (2nd-Level version) an unlimited number of times per day. The AoE for the Gust of Wind conforms to that of Aganazzar's Scorcher instead of its own. In appearance this effect manifests as a vortex of flame emanating from the fan-end of the device.
Watch Your Fingers: The spinning blades of this contraption can be used in melee combat to inflict d4 slashing damage.
Inherent Instability: Between the barely contained power and other questionable design principles this device is prone to catastrophic failure. Whenever it is used roll 2d20. If a 1 is rolled on either die the gun jams and fails to function this time. If a 1 is rolled on BOTH dice the gun is destroyed, exploding into a Fireball (3rd-Level version) centered on the user (the user automatically fails the save for half damage).

David-S This a fun item. If it were me, I would make it any time a natural 1 is rolled, it explodes - this gives a real decision for players on how often they use it.
