In many ways they would take the place of modern technology with a few quirks in the same mode as Harry Potter's owl mail system taking the place of cellphones. The lady of the house would be expected an enchanted set of dishes for her thirteenth anniversary (the magic one) and the gentleman of the house may be in possession of Slippers of Warming.

The item just performs much better than its nonmagical counterpart. <br /><br />Chamber Pot: Purifies contents automatically once per hour. <br /><br />Horseshoe: If thrown off it will animate and run along behind the horse shouting not to be left behind. <br /><br />Hot Rocks: Heat up in increments of 20 degrees (C) when tapped sequentially, reverting to "off" on the tap following 100 degrees. Hums when on. <br /><br />Chessboard: Anything one ounce or less, but larger than coarse sand, will stick to the board with a pound of resistance. <br /><br />Broom: Gathers objects the size of coarse sand and smaller, adhering them to the broom. Tapping the handle on something made of iron releases all the dust in a puff out from the end. <br /><br />I like items like this because they're quirky, don't have combat modifiers, and require a little bit of DM adjudication. But most importantly they inspire player creativity. I'd love for someone to figure out a way to weaponize the Hot Rock. It's not like it'll do a ton of damage even at 100 degrees, anyway. Maybe +1 heat damage to unarmored folk on a hit. But the chamber pot could be tossed into a pond and gradually purify it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4727301007280965202.post-47459978919701327402009-09-09T12:48:50.129-04:002009-09-09T12:48:50.129-04:00The colander magical helmet is great!
