Suggestions wanted: Water treasures
-
Ideas for items to find underwater or in shipwrecks, or on deserted isles in the wyvernwater.
Pearls
pirate stuff
fish stuff
etc -
Here are a few quick ones:
- Piece of a tentacle (entanglement, 5 uses)
- Silver skull (11 charges stone bones, 1 c/u; fear 2 c/u)
- Jade skull (Mestil's acid sheath, single use)
- Encrusted pearl necklace (15 charges: summon monster I, 1 c/u; summon monster II, 2 c/u, summon monster III, 3 c/u; summon monster IV, 4 c/u); might additionally set summoning theme to water when worn;
- Pearlescent crab shell (least spell mante, 3 uses)
- Mermaid's seashell comb (11 charges: trout backstroke, 1 c/u; water breathing, 2 c/u; AE+3 for aquatic creatures)
-
A little bit more complicated (sorry!!) but thought of this in relation to the null-magic post (https://nodebb.cityofarabel.com/topic/65289/more-healing-items-that-work-in-null-magic-areas):
Symbiotic Seaweed:
Harvested from only the most resilient seaweed found in the deeper depths, this living seaweed latches itself onto any wounds in a symbiotic process that is believed to be part of its reproductive cycle. If kept properly fresh in a saline solution, it grants accelerated healing in an entirely non-magical manner.Effect on use: Heals 1 hp per round for 5d8 rounds.
Harvesting requires using an empty flask on a batch of deep-water seaweed, wherein the seaweed is treated as a single-use resource node that then does not yield any air if harvested in this manner. -
-
Lover‘s locket (11 charges; charm person: 1 c/u; Eagle‘s Splendor: 2 c/u; bluff + 1). Might additionally serve as an item that an NPC in Arabel would pay some XP for as a mini-quest or bounty.

-

Mermaid Crystal Ring
Carved from simple crystal sometimes found at the bottom of lakes, this ring is shaped like a swimming mermaid. The details are intricate and most beautiful.
11 charges
eagle splendor 2/c/u
Trout backstroke 2/c/u
+1 CHA
(can make a cracked version with 7 charges, and +1 or 2 persuade)Shark Tooth Charm of [insert type]
A simply carved charm made from the tooth of a shark.
Give 2 or 3 charges of spells related to the theme.
few ideas:- Of the Great White = bull's strength
- Of the Mako = expeditious retreat or haste
- Of the Whale = endurance
- Of the Thresher = dexterity
- Of the Goblin = blood frenzy?
-
- Rusted Full Plate of the Depths. This rusted and barnacle-encrusted full plate armor bears the mark of a famous armor-smith of ancient times. While finding a functional exemplar might convey great protection, this piece is entirely unusable. Perhaps some noble might desire it as a decorative piece? Worth 100 pp.
-
-
Glass eye. Once worn by a pirate-captain, this eye still glows with eerie magical power (13 charges: Death Armor, 1 c/u; Blur, 2 c/u; True Seeing, 9 c/u)
-
Tattered pirate cloak. This tattered and torn cloak is a patchwork of various colors. It should be worthless - yet somehow it still appears to be in pristine condition. Bluff +2, Improved Invisibility (single use).
-
-
- Electric Eel scales (chance for a drop from those large electric eels): 8 charges: Gedlee's electric loop (5), 2 c/u; Lightning bolt (5) 3 c/u.
-
- Ivory, Jade, and Gold figurines of mostly decorative nature that are worth between 5 and 50 pp.
-
- Consider giving those beautiful pearls and underwater gems that can already be found some value beyond the 5 or 6 gp they seem to tend to be worth (e.g., a bump in gp-value, some added pp-value, or value as a crafting component). Some might perhaps also have a few charges for cantrips.
-
- Mosaic of the sunken city: Fragments of a larger mosaic depicting the outlines of a wondrous sunken city (or another underwater area). Each one is worth 25 pp.
Optional extension: If one tiny fragment is used on another tiny fragment, create a small fragment. Use a small fragment on another small fragment to create a medium fragment. Use two medium fragments to create a large one; and two large ones to created a substantial one. Two substantial ones to create a major fragment. Merge two major ones, to finally grasp the whole mosaic/picture and get a clue or access to a special quest area that can be opened by consuming the mosaic.
In this example, this would require a total of 64 tiny fragments - but drops could of course also include larger pieces. Except for the last step (to open… and create the area), the scripting involved would appear to be simple (?).
