Jotun Glowrune Pigment

This stone vessel contains pigments mixed from crushed luminescent gemstones. This magical paint bestows temporary magical gifts on creatures with runes drawn on their skin with this paint. The pot contains exactly 4 uses of pigment, each use of which may paint one rune. When all uses are expended the vessel turns to ash.

A creature can spend 10 minutes to paint one of the following runes onto itself or another creature:

• Journey Rune. Difficult terrain doesn't cost the painted creature extra movement.
• Life Rune. The painted creature gains 10 temporary hit points and has advantage on death saving throws.
• Light Rune. The painted creature gains darkvision to a range of 30 feet. If the painted creature already has darkvision from another source, the range of its darkvision increases by 30 feet.
• Mountain Rune. The painted creature is immune to being knocked prone and has advantage on Strength and Constitution saving throws.
• Shield Rune. The painted creature has advantage on Dexterity saving throws against effects that deal damage.

A creature can benefit from only one painted rune at a time, so a new rune painted on a creature has no effect unless the old one is removed first. The rune's benefits last for 8 hours or until the painted creature uses its action to wipe away the rune.

Wereshark Lycanthropy

Involuntary Transformation. You undergo a draining and painful involuntary change every full moon that leaves you hungry and often confused and frightened. During the 1 minute transformation your body involuntarily shifts into your hybrid form, and your thoughts are filled with predatory bloodlust. The DM may take partial control over your actions. Your equipment does not transform with you. Depending on the items, they may be destroyed, bent out of shape, or prove extremely restricting.

Stress Triggers. Acute stress may also trigger a transformation. Whenever you roll a natural 1 on a saving throw or whenever you're about to roll a death saving throw, you must pass a DC 15 Charisma saving throw else undergo involuntary transformation. On a natural 20, you learn to tame your hybrid state.

In hybrid form, you lose your innate class features and gain the following wereshark features.

• Natural Armor. Your AC is replaced by natural armor equal to 12 + DEX.
• Damage Resistance. The lycanthrope has bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing resistance from non-magical attacks that aren't silvered.
• Cursed Resilience. When the lycanthrope is reduced to 0 hit points, it does not die or fall unconscious. Instead, it loses the ability to take actions other than to Dash. If it takes damage from a silvered weapon while at 0 hit points, it dies.
• Multiattack. You make two attacks, one of which may be with your bite.
• Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: reach 5 ft., one target. +STR+PRO to hit. Hit: (2d8 + 4) piercing damage.
• Blood Frenzy. You have advantage on melee attack rolls against any creature that doesn't have all its hit points.
• Electrosensitive. If you take 10 or more lightning damage from a single source, you have disadvantage on attacks until the end of its following turn.

Remorhaz Javelin

Weapon (javelin)
This javelin is decorated with the frill spines and teeth of a slain remorhaz. Targets hit by this magic weapon take an extra 1d4 damage. The type of bonus damage is cold if the total of the attack roll is even, or fire damage if the total is odd.

Thrown. If a weapon has the thrown property, you can throw the weapon to make a ranged attack. If the weapon is a melee weapon, you use the same ability modifier for that attack roll and damage roll that you would use for a melee attack with the weapon. For example, if you throw a handaxe, you use your Strength, but if you throw a dagger, you can use either your Strength or your Dexterity, since the dagger has the finesse property.

Starlight Cloak

Great Oak Crystal

Wondrous Item, Pendant, (Requires Attunement)
A green, acorn-shaped crystal from the Great Oak of Kuldahar. This crystal has 2 charges. Expending a charge allows the wearer to cast the scrying spell (save DC 17). By holding hands with up to six other sentient creatures, the vision may be shared. The crystal regains 1 charge at Dawn.

Pacifying Spores

A myconid sovereign's Pacifying Spores. When the container is thrown at a target within 30 ft, the spores disperse. The target must succeed on a DC 12 CON saving throw or be stunned for 1 minute. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

Quieting Angel Brew

A Muzgardt Clan elixir. The quieting angel is a rare fungus in the Underdark which focuses the mind. It was found to delay the onset of chardalyn corruption, though its noxious nature often poisons the guts of non-dwarves.

A dose will prevent chardalyn corruption from increasing for three hours. Drinking the elixir as a non-dwarf requires passing a DC 12 CON saving throw, or else becoming poisoned for the duration or until the poison is cured.
