Dungeon Master's Guide

i cursed. Most methods of identifying items, including
rhe identify spell, fail to reveal such a curse, although
ore might hint at it. A curse should be a surprise to the
item's user when the curse's effects are revealed.
Attunement to a cursed item can't be ended voluntarily
unless the curse is broken first, such as with the remove
curse spell.
.YfAGIC ITEM CATEGORIES
Each magic item belongs to a category: armor,
potions, rings, rods, scrolls, staffs, wands, weapons, or
"'"ondrous items.
_-\RMOR
-nless an armor's description says otherwise, armor
must be worn for its magic to function.
Some suits of magic armor specify the type of armor
;hey are, such as chain mail or plate. If a magic armor
doesn't specify its armor type, you may choose the type
or determine it randomly.
P OTIONS
Different kinds of magical liquids are grouped in the
category of potions: brews made from enchanted herbs,
water from magical fountains or sacred springs, and
oils that are applied to a creature or object. Most potions
consist of one ounce of liquid.
Potions are consumable magic items. Drinking a
potion or administering a potion to another character
TREASURE HOARD: CHALLENGE 17+
requires an action. Applying an oil might take longer, as
specified in its description. Once used, a potion takes
effect immediately, and it is used up.
RINGS
Magic rings offer an amazing array of powers to those
lucky enough to find them. Unless a ring's description
says otherwise, a ring must be worn on a finger, or a
similar digit, for the ring's magic to function.
RODS
A scepter or just a heavy cylinder, a magic rod is
typically made of metal, wood, or bone. It's about 2 or 3
feet long, 1 inch thick, and 2 to 5 pounds.
SCROLLS
Most scrolls are spells stored in written form, while
a few bear unique incantations that produce potent
wards. Whatever its contents, a scroll is a roll of paper,
sometimes attached to wooden rods, and typically kept
safe in a tube of ivory, jade, leather, metal, or wood.
A scroll is a consumable magic item. Whatever the
nature of the magic contained in a scroll, unleashing
that magic requires using an action to read the scroll.
When its magic has been invoked, the scroll can't be
used again. Its words fade, or it crumbles into dust.
Any creature that can understand a written language
can read the arcane script on a scroll and attempt to
activate it.
