Homebrew Items

These are a few of my favorite homebrew items I’ve made so far in my 5e campaign. I like to try and keep the uniqueness of the item and give the player some extra abilities or utility instead of just stat gains. I also usually try to keep these abilities as effects that are already within the 5e core rules, so most of the effects are modelled after already existing abilities or spells.

As a note, if you don’t know where to make stuff like these ‘homebrewery.naturalcrit.com’ lets you make DnD book style homebrew creations.

A giant ogre’s treasured battle-axe. It has decent effects already, but is countered by a curse if the user does not have ogre level intelligence.

Necklace of a righteous cleric. It has useful effects without attunement but requires a specific alignment and might not be useable by all party members …

A giant boulder carried as some sort of ascetic right. Strong effects but requires a huge carry weight in order to lift and use it.

And finally, one of my favorites. A gag item, to torture players with!
