The level 14 class feature magic item savant is great but what about monster only magic items? “You ignore all class, race, spell, and level requirements on attuning to or using a magic item.” Does race include monster races? The mind lash can only be attuned by a mind flayed. The heartstone can only used by a night hag to become ethereal. And one of the newest items the Talarith, created by the Reirgar. It can only be attuned to a specific Reigar that created it. These items can only be used by specific races but magic item savant seems to bypass all that. Also if we weren’t allowed to use them why give them stats. The Mind lash and Talarith have stats but the heartstone does not, just a blurb in the night hag stats.
What other monster only magic items do you know about? Could a level 14 artificer attune to it? Let me know it the comments.
There are quiet a few more: Bheur Hag’s graystaff, korred’s hair rope, etc. The designers were trying to add flavor in and the general guidelines for an artificer are the same as a thief. Once the creature dies (or the item is separated from them) the item is no longer magic.
Now if a specific DM wants to change that, then it’s up to them. They could find (or homebrew) an item that closely resembles the monster item and give the players that.
