I would love to have tons of magic items that tie into the plot to gift my players but it would make them mega overpowered. the items should be cool and such but versatile and engaging for my plot line. any ideas for what items I could use and tweak or how to make good items that can really put a smile on my players faces (funny). thanks to those who respond I will read all your answers!
If you want them to tie into your plot line, we need to know what your plot line is!
Yeah. This. If the OP is going to stay vague I can only give vague advice. If there is a fear of becoming "overpowered" then don't give them any +1 items before level 5, nor any +2 items before level 10, and don't give them any +3 items before level 15. That being said, CR of creatures doesn't consider magical items in general. So gimmicky "funny" items shouldn't really interfere with power if it's just flavor.
