#RPGaDAY – August 20, 2025 (ENTER)

Enter– For today’s word, I present to you two homebrew magic items – the Mace of Entry and the Adventurer’s Key.

 

Mace of Entry

Light weight metal footman’s mace, with multiple small keys engraved on the shaft.

 •If used unattuned, the mace is +1 to hit and damage when used in combat and the other magic ability of the Mace of Entry is not accessible.

 •If used attuned, the mace is also +2 to hit and damage versus constructs and other manmade structures.

 •The mace has 10 charges stored, with each engraved key representing 1 charge.  Once a charge is used, the engraved key disappears. Every morning the owner can check to see if the mace gains back 1 charge for the day. User rolls 1D12 and only gains back a charge that day if the roll equals or exceeds the number of current charges.

•For 2 charges, user can touch the mace to something and use a Knock like magic ability to unlock it.

 Knock – Similar to the 2nd level transmutation spell of the same name.

 It takes 1 action to use the magic, with the range as touch and an instantaneous duration.

User touches the mace to an object, like a door, box, chest, set of manacles, padlock, or another object that contains a mundane or magic means that prevents access.

Targets held shut by a mundane lock or that are stuck or barred becomes unlocked, unstuck, or unbarred.  If it has multiple locks, only one is unlocked.

A target held shut by magic, is suppressed for 10 minutes, before again becoming active.

A loud knock sound, which is audible out to 300’ occurs.  If some magic, like a silence spell prevents the knock sound, the magic is unable to unlock anything.  

•Medium Level Magic – Requires attunement – special

 

 

Adventurer’s Key

This is a large 9-inch key made of black obsidian, with odd notches, teeth, and cut outs all along its length.  It unscrews into nine 1-inch sections, with the end piece a loop and the remaining 8 pieces able to be screwed together in any order.

•The Adventurer’s Key has a 90% chance to open all mundane and all but the highest power magical locks.  User touches the end loop piece to the lock and then screws the other 8 pieces on in any order.  If assembled properly to fit the touched lock, it shrinks or grows to the correct size.

•Each assembly takes 1 minute and has a cumulative 10% chance to open the lock. So, the first attempt takes 1 minute and has a 10% chance, the second takes another minute and has a 20% chance and so on.  After each assembly, user can tell which pieces are in the correct order.

•If the user assembling the key is a Rogue, they gain a bonus 10% change to open the lock.  So, the first round’s chance is 20% for a Rogue, not 10%.

•The Adventurer’s Key’s magic can only be used one time per day, which resets at midnight.

•Medium Level Magic -   Does not require attunement to use.

August #RPGaDAY Stuff

Image
 Hello. My name is Mike and I am a long time RPG player and DM (45+ years.) I am going to participate in the 2025 August #RPGaDAY event and try to post something RPG related each day. I posted the www.Autokratik.com post below, outlining the event details. This is my first time doing a blog or anything like this, so hopefully I do it correctly and if anyone actually looks at this stuff, it is a positive and enjoyable experience. Thank you. https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgFMTdy1ikxs8nLLyWXuXBsIdswN6if2ogwTIUDN1T19MEJcNyOXYM33GjmObZOKjYXAdkDLnWnDcnbWOFyIrzRtpzSof674oalI_7PxnmWVNkuAYmfAd6ixDlyrZ7QBCA2xEwqyPB_brX20v6-ifbRQXOqa8hRhdbUX4ieaMdrxuspFPeLWBKAJIrwohw

#RPGaDAY – August 1, 2025 (PATRON)

  #RPGaDAY – August 1, 2025 (PATRON) PATRON – Old Man Winter (aka Sankt Nikolai)               Hearty r esidents of the north often pay homage to Sankt Nikolai, the Old Man of Winter.   During the dark bitter cold times of the Winter Solstice, Old Man Winter offers warmth, protection, and bounty to the good folks of the north, especially innocent children, and their care givers. It is said that he knows when someone has been naughty or nice, bringing gifts and presents to good virtuous people and punishments to other morally questionable individuals .   Warlocks who bind themselves to Old Man Winter pledge to protect the good and punish the evil doers of the Northlands. They often gain resistances to nonmagical cold, the ability to see into someone’s heart, and the expertise to safely travel through difficult snow and ice terrain.   They gain access to a special Eldritch Invocation: *The Pa...

#RPGaDAY – August 5, 2025 (ANCIENT)

  #RPGaDAY – August 5, 2025 (ANCIENT) ANCIENT– This one stumped me for a while.   When I think of the word Ancient, dragons are the first thing that comes to mind of course. I did not want to go that route though, so I decided on old books from an ancient library. Our adventurers have sought long and fought hard to reach their objective, the Forsaken Library of the Ancients. Here resides powerful relics, scrolls, and ancient manuscripts, all but forgotten to the annals of time. They have been on a quest, set for them by the mighty wizard, Xeris to uncover t he Librum Arcanum Geographica: An Atlas of Ley Lines and Magically Significant Locations – Volume 3: The Feywild and Other lands beyond the Veil. Among the many ancient books and mystical tomes, they found were these works: 1.    1•    Bang, Zap, and Whiz: An Adventurer’s Guide to Evocation. Written by Far-Ranger Eilare and Magus Favrir. It has an eye catching red and white cover. It is rather ...
