    I once decided to give all my players a single minor magical item at lvl 1 just to help their characters settle into their roles.

    • The Ranger got a quiver of elven kind (guaranteed 20 non-magical arrows per day)

    • The wizard got an indestructible spellbook (no need to worry about losing spells)

    • The monk/rogue a cloak that made it easier to conceal his identity

    • And the hobbit-like bard… a dagger of warning.

    I thought they’d appreciate the LotR nod. Except I made a campaign of intrigue, where the baddies were hiding in plain sight. I dreaded that damn dagger. Somehow, through sheer luck, the bard immediately forgot about it after their first encounter. It never came up again.

    Complain. Mr. Pumpernickel unleashes a string of inane complaints laced with an accusatory tone at a creature he can see within range. If the target can hear him (though it need not understand him), it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or take 1d4 psychic damage and have disadvantage on the next attack roll it makes before the end of its next turn.
