Summary

  • Bag of Tricks - Pull random animals out, leading to hilarious surprise allies in battle.
  • Lute of Thunderous Thumping - Wield a lute as a club and deal thunder damage; creatively practical.
  • Hat of Vermin - Summon animals with indifference; parody a magician's trick.

Magic items are one of the most unique ways you can make your character stand out in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dungeons & Dragons. 𝓀Depending on what you're attuned to, your character could take on the role of a melee combatant or more of a support class. However, some magic items aren't always that helpful, or, at the very least, seem a little far-fetched.

Dungeons &🅺; Dragons: The Moཧst Ridiculous Spells You Should Definitely Try Just For Fun

If you're playi🅠ng a caster iꦓn Dungeons & Dragons, you have to try these absolutely ridiculous spells at least once.

However, these completely hilarious magic items are so bad, they might just be good. Every Dungeons & Dragons play🌳er should try them out at least o💟nce. So, the next time you go hunting for magic items, try one of these totally outrageous options.

10 🌜 🐽 Bag Of Tricks

Uncommon

Requires Attunement?

No

The bag of tricks a🅠ppears to be empty when you first acquire it. However, when you reach inside the bag, you may discover a r🌳andom, fuzzy object. By taking the magic action, you can pull the fuzzy object out and throw it up to 20 feet. From there, the fuzzy object transforms into a random animal.

Some of the animals you can pull from this bag are actually quite helpful. However, thanks to the randomness element of this item, you really never know what you're going to g🌱et. You could get a panther to aid you in battle or a badger.

9 🐼 Lute Of Thunderous Thumping ༒

Very Rare

Requires Attunement?

No

This lute is so much more than just a pre🌺tty musical instrument. You can actually wield this weapon like a magic club, dealing 2d8 thunder damage on a successful hit. Plus, if you're a bard, you can use your Charisma modifier instead of your Strength modifier.

Ultimately, this item makes it onto this list for one key 🧜reason: the visual gag of a bard swinging a giant lute like a club. The idea of using your musical instrument as a bludgeoning weapon is downright hilarious, and, in this case, also ꦺextremely practical.

8 ෴Hat Of Veℱrmin

Common

Requires Attunement?

No

Similar to the Bag of Tricks, the Hat of Vermin is another magic item that can generate random creatures. When you hol꧟d this hat, you can take🐻 a magic action and expend a charge to summon either a bat, a frog, or a rat. Somewhat hilariously, the animal in question is completely indifferent to you and your party.

These completely out there homebrew spells for DND are something your DM definitely won't allow, but you 🍌should try them anyway.

Ultimately, th🌠e Hat of Vermin is little more than a parody of a commonplace magician's trick. It's hilarious that this item exists at all, but it could make a great addition to a novice wizard's arsenal if that's part of your character concept.

7 Heward's Handy Spice Pouch

Common

Requires Attunement?

No

This next magic item is for al✤l the cooks out there. This belt pouch appears to be empty and has ten charges. When you hol🐽d this pouch, you can take the magic action to expend a charge and name a nonmagical type of seasoning like salt or pepper. When you do so, you can subsequently remove that spice from the belt.

Yes, this is, in a phrase, a chef's dream. This magic item would undoubtedly be helpful for🍌 the culinar💦y-inclined in real life. But, ultimately, it probably isn't all that useful in DND. Still, it's kind of funny that it exists at all.

6 Deck ღOf Many Things 💝

Legendary

Requires Attunement?

No

Whe🦹n it comes to chaotic magic items, none are as popular as the Deck of Many Things. If you've yet to run this magic item as a DM, or experience it as a player, you're in for a treat. The Deck of Many Things resembles a normal set of playing cards; however, drawing cards from this deck comes at your own risk.

Depending on the card you draw, you could either vastly improve your abilities or stats, or could permanently immobilize you. For example, if you draw the Donjon card, you disappear and become entombed in suspended animation in an extraplanar dimension. High-🔜risk. High-reward.

5 🍃 Cloak Of Many Fashions

Requires Attunement?

No

For noble characters, or for players who just want their character to look their best, this next item is for you. The Cloak of Many Fashions has one very simple,🐈 but creatively useful effect. When you wear this cloak, you can take a Bonus Action to change the style, color, and quality of 🃏the cloak to anything you want.

This means you could make yourself look far richer than you actually are. Or, you could make the cloak more or less conspicuous, whatever you choose. Despite 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:its lack of stat buffs, this cloak could actually prove immensely useful in a roleplay-based campaign🍌.

4 ꦜ Pipes Of The Sewers 🐎

Skeletal pipes in DND.

Rarity

Uncommon

Requires Attunement?

Yes

Despite the name, the Pipes of the Sewers can actually prove incredibly useful, so long as you get used to the stench. When you are attuned to this item, you gain three charges thဣat reset at dawn. If you play the pipes, you can call forth a swarm of rats to you. The swarm then makes a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw. Should they fail, they fall under your command.

This is the best way to live out a Pied Pi🧸per fantasy. You can also call forth multiple swarms by expending more charges. Be warned, if they make their save, though, the rats won't really do anything to help you.

3 Pot Of Awakening 🎶

Rarity

Common

Requires Attunement?

No

This pot appears completely ordinary and is perfectly suited for growing small plants. If you plant a regular shrub inside this pot and let it grow for 30 days, the shrub eventually reawakens as an Awakened Shrub (168澳洲幸运5开奖网:see the 2025 Monster Manual for their stat block) and breaks the pot.

From there, the shrub is friendly to you and your allies and obeys your commands, meaning you could have a friendly ally in combat. However, using this item in combat does mean you might 🎀have to carry the pot around with you for 30 days, or make a return tri♍p to a bastion. Either way, this item is great for characters with a green thumb.

2 Staff Of Birdcall🌳s🦩

Requires Attunement?

No

Decked out with bird carvings, this staff has 10 charges. When you hold the staff and use a magic action, you can expend a charge from the staff to🏅 perfectly mimic a bird's call out to a range of 120 feet. And yes, that really is all it does.

The staff obviously has a nice design, and can make for a nice bit of flavor for a druid character. Ultimately, I just love the idea of a highly serious 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dungeons & Dragons roleplay m🐻oment ♈being broken up by the sound of a goose honking.

1 ꦿ Tan🍒kard Of Sobriety

Rarity

Common

Requires Attunement?

No

The Tankard of ꦺSobriety has a very stern, mean-looking face carved into one side of the tankard. While the tankard does not af൩fect magical substances, should you drink wine, ale, or any other alcoholic substance from this tankard, you can drink without being inebriated.

To be honest, I'm not exactly sure what purpose this tankard would serve. Maybe, at best, you could use it to fake your way through a drinking contest. This item is so outlandish, I can't believe it even exists in Dungeons & Dragons. But, it's a nice touch to a♛dd to a very full magic items list.
