THE WIZARD'S BOX ROOM
MAGIC ITEMS, WEAPONS
& ARMOUR TO USE
WITH YOUR TUNNELS & TROLLS GAMES.
Welcome to the Wizard's Box Room. The door to the old Sorcerer's attic chamber has been thrown open for the first time in centuries, and his magic items are yours for the taking! Be careful you don't take too many, lest greed be your downfall. Give out too many of these hot little numbers to your delvers and watch as your favourite monsters fall like ninepins. These items have been around in my games for years, and many are more than a little quirky, strange and downright silly, but hey, they are now yours to change and do with as you will. Please, enjoy....
These weapons may be used by all character types except wizards. In my game world, I allow wizards to carry/use some magic weapons depending on what they are. I have placed a (W) after weapons in the following list which I would allow wizards in my games to use. Disregard if inappropriate to your game world.
The Fabulous Francisca
Enchanted to score 10D6, and if damage is done to MR or CON, it is reduced by ½ . This only works the first time CON/MR damage is done. Weight 60.
Boomerang Knife (W)
An African Throwing Knife which scores 4D6. Each time it inflicts hits to MR or CON, the weapon magically increases its power by +1 add. It will automatically return to the thrower's hand and will automatically hit targets at 'point blank' and 'near' range. Weight 125.
Sword of Horrors (W)
This is a scimitar of black iron which is both sentient and unbreakable. Each time it is used in a fight where the foe is slain, the sword is increased by +1 D6 to its damage roll. The sword will get 4D6 when first discovered. The sword may communicate through telepathy to the user if the GM decides the character treats the sword well, e.g. uses it all the time, keeps it well oiled and clean etc. Weight 100.
Moonsorrow
A broadaxe getting 8+8. When used in the dark or during the hours of darkness, it scores 3x the damage rolled for it. (Roll then multiply the result by 3, don't roll 24+24) Moonsorrow also scores double damage Vs Undead. Weight 150.
Satanstinger
This gladius is enchanted to score 5+5 and when used in combat, the player rolls 1D6. The hits rolled for the weapon are then multiplied by the result. Weight 70.
The Thief Dagger (W)
Magical stiletto getting 3+7, which can be used to pick simple locks with a 90% chance of success. Weight 10.
Mace of Darkness (W)
A mitre which gets 5+15. When used it will blind the foe only if damage to CON/MR is inflicted which will last for 10 combat rounds, for which the foe must halve all attack rolls if it relies on sight. The user must make a SR on LK at level (10-own level, min. level 1) for this to occur, otherwise the mace scores normal damage. This can only be attempted on the first combat round of any battle. E.G. A 6th level delver using the mace in the first combat round rolls a LK saving roll at level (10 minus 6) 4 to determine if the blinding takes effect. Weight 90.
The Godsword
A mighty greatsword getting D6 = the user's level number, and adds = user's total ST & CON. It is indestructible and sentient and the owner may add +10 to CHR whilst this sword is carried. Weight 170.

This can only be used by warrior/wizards and wizards. This weapon can be used as a DMS and gets 30+66 in combat. It will cut the spell ST cost by twice the user's level number if a spell is cast through it and Undead will not come within 10' of it. This weapon weighs 150 and requires a ST of 11 and a DEX of 10 to use. If any other character type apart from war/wiz and wizard try to pick it up, it will heat-up quickly and within seconds become too hot to touch. The staff will teleport itself away from any characters it does not like.
Myric's Dagger (W)
Ornate, shiny sax dagger which will never dull. It gets as many dice as the user's LK and the user's CHR in adds. Can be used by true wizards only. Others get 1+1. Weight 25

Magical Sai (W)
A parrying weapon which will parry any blow (unless it does 100+ hits, therefore smashing the sai) if the user makes a DEX SR at the level of the opponent. It cannot be used in attack and requires a ST & DEX of 18 to use correctly. Weight 100.

A chaos sword similar in look and design to the fearsome Iron Maiden, doing 3D6 + the user's total attributes in adds for the first three combat rounds, but just 5+5 for the rest.

Commando
Chamelion-greatsword which will change colour to blend-in with its surroundings. It scores 50+250 and needs a ST and DEX of 40 to use (heroes only this one!). The user can lower ST & DEX saving rolls by one level whilst carrying this sword and it weighs 350.
Blood (Broadsword 3+4)
ST 12 DEX 14 Weight 55. Horrible sword, always drips blood. Turns CHR of user minus.
Schwarzenegger
This is a mighty sword; the most ridiculous weapon ever crafted! It gets 100 dice and 100 adds but can only be used by a warrior true with all attributes above 100. Anyone but the owner touching it will trigger an offensive remark from the sword, such as "F**K you ar**hole!" "Get your hands off or I'll break your spine!" etc. in a pseudo-Austrian accent. If the user sacrifices 1/10 of his ST permanently, the sword will fight on its own for up to the user's level number in turns. The holder of this weapon will always have the highest CHR in any delving/adventuring party. If it is not already, the sword raises the user's CHR to be 1 above the highest in the party. If the situation changes and another party member has his/her CHR increased to above that of the holder of this sword, the sword will raise it to 1 above again, and so on. The user will always get a second chance at any LK saving roll and the sword always survives any situation..... A very silly sword. Weight 250.
The Terminator
A fearsome sword which glows in colours through the spectrum all the time it is unsheathed. It gets no dice but 555 adds each round. The user's CHR will be twice normal whilst using it
and must have a ST of 60+ and a DEX of 45+ to handle the Terminator. If the owner loses it or throws it away, or sells it for less than 1000 GP, the Terminator will drain 1 point of CON from the owner until he/she regains it! Weight 500.
Metallica
From the creators of Iron Maiden and Motorhead comes this mighty sword. Of horrific aspect, carved from dragon bone, this sword will never break and does 7+700 in combat, and the user gets twice ST adds for the duration of the combat. It will allow itself to be picked up only by a character who makes a CHR SR at twice their own level! This sword plays "One" by Metallica very very loudly during combat. Weight 550.
The Godaxe
From the makers of The Godsword comes this mighty axe, single-bladed and getting 30+360 in combat. When first acquired, the axe allows the new owner to add 50 points amongst his/her attributes (not speed) permanently. This happens only once. If another character from the party gains the axe later on, this will not occur again. It will illuminate in the dark and keep undead with an MR less or equal to 1000 within 30'. ST 100 DEX 100 Weight 340.
The Winged Blade
This is a straight sword similar to a long broadsword with winged designs on the hilt and an engraving of a mythical bird on the pommel. It will allow the user to fly up to his/her level number in turns per day. The sword gets 30 dice but no adds in combat, and cannot be poisoned, or the magic will be lost, the sword becoming a 3+4 broadsword. Weight 120.

Elven Sword of Glory
Fancy hand-and-a-half sword getting user's CHR in D6 and 50 adds. If an elf uses it, he/she will get an extra 100 adds per combat round as the sword knows it is in the hands of an elf and will magically sharpen and glow a soft blue. Weight 1 for elves, 500 for all others.

(E.G. just before the character lands in the acid pit, or just before the Hellbomb Bursts spell takes effect, etc. Use GM discretion) The character will be teleported to a place of safety if a LK SR is made at the wearer's level +2.

It will not return if the shield is sold or given away. CHR will continue to fall into minus figures, eventually halting when the value becomes the minus equivalent of its original score.

S.E.P Field (Someone Else's Problem)
This is actually a ring which, when worn, surrounds the wearer in a glowing protection field, which takes all hits in any combat.

Section Three : Potions & Brews
These potions contain
something for everyone. I have stated if the potion is a
particular colour, but if there is no mention of the potion's
