Wondrous Item, rare (requires attunement)
This finely made brooch is constructed with resin coated flower petals and precious metal foil, giving it a clearly valuable appearance. When activated, the brooch magically changes shape before one's very eyes to match the floral source of the effect.
This brooch has 4 charges, and it regains 1d4 expended charges daily at dawn. While wearing and attuned to it you may expend a number of charges to activate one of the effects from the Broche des Fleurs table. Whenever an effect of this wondrous item would require a spell save DC or spell attack roll, use your Charisma as the item's spellcasting modifier.
Broche des Fleurs
Flower | Effect |
---|---|
Cypress | As an action you may expend 3 charges to cast the inflict wounds spell. |
Foxglove | As a bonus action you may expend a charge to activate foxglove. While the brooch is in this form you may add your Charisma modifier to damage dealt by the vicious mockery spell. |
Ilex | As a reaction when you are targeted by an attack you may expend 1 charge to impose disadvantage on that attack roll. |
Lily | As a reaction when you make a Constitution saving throw to maintain concentration on a spell you may expend 1 charge to add your Charisma modifier to the result. |
Orchid | As a reaction when you make a Constitution saving throw against poison or disease you may expend 1 charge to add your Charisma modifier to the result. |
Poppy | When you cast the sleep spell you may expend any number of charges to select a number of creatures not exceeding your Charisma modifier. Those creatures are immune to the spell's effects. |
Rose | As an action you may expend 4 charges to cast the suggestion spell. |
Wolfsbane | On a critical hit you may expend any number of charges to add 1d4 poison damage per charge expended in this way. |
Zephyranthes | As a reaction when an ally you can see within 30 feet of you fails an attack roll, saving throw, or ability check you may expend 1 charge to add your Charisma modifier to the result. |
HB MDM?
I stick that label at the end of my brews to help my players know what's homebrew and what's not at a glance! ;) (Shortened form of Homebrew MellieDM!)
This is wonderful, but as a new DM and player, do you have a price guide or what level the player should be for this item?
I made this for a level 3 Bard in one of my games, and she's put it to good use for a couple levels now! I also played in a one-shot where another player used the item as a Level 7 Druid and she was able to make good use of her 4 charges.
I usually run games where magic items are difficult to purchase for gold (I love magical quest rewards!), but if I were pressed to do it in my game I'd price it around 1200—your mileage may vary!
Thank you for your answer! I have a level 4 (soon to be 5) sorcerer and druid that I think would enjoy this (they will have the battle out who gets it). I think I will have to find a way to drop this in next session.
Ooh! Let me know how it goes if you do!
Kind of odd to have it use the attuned creature's spellcasting ability. Most magic items just have a set DC.
How long does the Foxglove effect last?
I assume the duration is infinite, since activating an ability changes the shape of the brooch.
