More 5e Magic Items

Continuing our series of previewing new 5e magic items…

Hallowed Altar

Wondrous Item, legendary

This holy altar grants the same effect as a hallow spell until it is destroyed. Not less than 6 feet long, 3 feet wide, 3 feet high, 1000 pounds and made of marble, it may be moved with great effort.

The specific look of the altar, creatures affected by it, and extra effect vary based on the altar’s deity. For example, a good healing deity’s altar will prevent fiends and undead from entering or charming, frightening, or possessing others and will grant Everlasting Rest.

Potion of Laughter

Potion, uncommon

When you drink this potion, if you fail a DC 13 Constitution saving throw you fall under the effect of a hideous laughter spell for one minute. The colors and consistency of this potion can match most other potions.

Mantle of the Disciple

Wondrous Item, very rare (requires attunement)

Divine light emanates from this accessory in a 30-foot radius around you.

You have advantage on all saving throws. In addition, when a fiend or an undead hits you with a melee attack, the aura flashes with brilliant light. The attacker must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be blinded for 1 minute.

Hypnotic Orb

Wondrous Item, uncommon

You use an action to activate this orb and roll it to a spot within 30 feet. It then makes a whistle noise and is filled with a twisting, smoky pattern of colors. Any who look at it while it is active must make a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw. Those who fail become charmed while it is active. Those charmed are incapacitated and have a speed of 0. A creature that failed its save may save again at the end of each of its turns.

The orb stays active for one minute or until you use an action to deactivate it. Each time it is used, roll a d20. On a 1, it crumbles to dust.
