CHAPTER 3
DRACONIC
MAGIC
Effect: The wearer of a helm fitted with a golden visor
gains darkvision out to 60 feet and a dragon’s low-light vision
(seeing four times as well as a human in low-light conditions).
Once per day, the visor also grants blindsense out to
30 feet.
In addition, the wearer can generate an aura of menace
once per day. An enemy with fewer Hit Dice than the wearer
who tries to approach within 20 feet of him must succeed on
a DC 20 Will save or be unable to approach for 1 round. If
the wearer moves closer to an affected creature, the effect is
broken for that creature, and it gains immunity to the aura
for 24 hours.
Aura/Caster Level: Moderate divination and enchantment;
CL 11th.
Construction: Craft Wondrous Item, clairaudience/clairvoyance,
darkvision, invisibility purge, repulsion, 12,000 gp, 960
XP, 24 days.
Weight: 1 lb.
Price: 24,000 gp.
IYARINGU OF THE EARTH DRAGON
This handy earring makes it easier for its wearer to cross
difficult terrain.
Description: This large, gaudy earring is fashioned from
a peacocklike quill of a li lung dragon and decorated with
jade beads and pieces of red coral.
Activation: An iyaringu functions continuously while
worn, occupying space on the body as a hat or headband.
When first worn, it telepathically instructs the wearer (simultaneously
in the Spirit Tongue and Draconic) on the effects
of the item and how to activate it.
Effect: An iyaringu of the earth dragon grants sure footing,
allowing the wearer to move at his normal speed through
bogs, rubble, and undergrowth (see DMG Chapter 3 for more
details on terrain). He can remain standing even during an
earthquake.
The earring has the same effect when the wearer encounters
similar magical obstacles, but it does not negate any damage
that might be dealt. For example, the wearer is not reduced to
half speed in the area of a spike stones spell, but he still takes
1d8 points of damage for every 5 feet of movement.
Aura/Caster Level: Faint transmutation; CL 5th.
Construction: Craft Wondrous Item, freedom of movement,
3,750 gp, 300 XP, 8 days.
Weight: —.
Price: 7,500 gp.
KODATE OF THE SPIRIT DRAGON
This tiny shield is ideal for spies and other stealthy characters
who need to slip in or out of tight spots.
Description: This buckler is fashioned from silver-plated
steel and has a shen lung dragon scale embedded in its
center.
Activation: The enhancement bonus and the ability to
speak and understand the Spirit Tongue function while the
kodate is held. Twice per day, the owner can become ethereal
as a swift action. When first held, the buckler telepathically
instructs the owner (simultaneously in the Spirit Tongue and
Draconic) on the effects of the item and how to activate it.
Effect: A kodate of the spirit dragon functions as a +1 buckler,
and its owner can speak and understand the Spirit Tongue.
When activated, the item renders its owner ethereal for 1
round, similar to the ethereal jaunt spell (PH 227).
Aura/Caster Level: Moderate abjuration and transmutation;
CL 10th.
Construction: Craft Magic Arms and Armor, ethereal
jaunt, tongues, 3,165 gp, 240 XP, 6 days.
Weight: 6 lb.
Price: 6,165 gp.
KURIBUNE OF THE RIVER DRAGON
Small enough to be carried in a box, this scale expands into
a full-size rowboat.
Description: This 6-inch-diameter chiang lung dragon
scale is decorated with blue and green enamel, the interior
studded with freshwater pearls arranged like benches in
a tiny rowboat. It is usually stored in a watertight black
lacquer box.
Activation: To activate a kuribune, the owner must place
it in contact with water and speak the command word (a
standard action). He can return it to dragon scale form by
sprinkling a handful of sand or dirt into the boat (another
standard action). When first grasped, a kuribune telepathically
instructs the owner (simultaneously in the Spirit Tongue and
Draconic) on the effects of the item and how to activate it.
Effect: When activated, a kuribune of the river dragon
enlarges into a normal 12-foot rowboat that can hold up to
three Medium creatures. The boat obeys simple one-word
commands (such as “start,” “stop,” “left,” “right,” and so on)
spoken by someone sitting in the prow, and it travels at a
constant speed of 10 feet per round (subject to the current
and rowing).
Aura/Caster Level: Strong transmutation; CL 12th.
Construction: Craft Wondrous Item, Craft (shipmaking)
5 ranks, contingency, fabricate, find the path, 1,500 gp, 240 XP,
3 days.
Weight: 1 lb.
Price: 3,000 gp.
OPALESCENT AMULET
Treasured by those who hunt in the frostfell, this item
protects its owner from the common dangers of that deadly
realm.
Description: This milky white dragon scale is framed by
a silver setting and hangs from a filigree chain. Tiny opals
stud the surface of the scale in a snowflake pattern.
