Cthulhudrew 11-13-06, 04:17 AM	In the vein of the long-running Monster Conversion and Creation Thread (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=459254), I thought I'd start one up on converting and creating magic items from Mystara for 3E rules. I've done several so far, and hope to continue to produce more, but I hope others will post their conversions and creations here as well!

Cthulhudrew 11-13-06, 05:26 AM	Boat, Undersea Type: Wondrous Item Source: RC 239 An undersea boat looks identical to a riverboat (see below), and functions in all ways as one. If the command word is known, however, no crew is required- the boat will operate itself according to the commands of its owner. It can be commanded to start, stop, turn to port, turn to starboard or stop turning. Additionally, the boat can be commanded to submerge itself, level off, or surface, providing all passengers in contact with the boat with a continuous water breathing effect.

Cthulhudrew 11-13-06, 05:28 AM	Chime of Time Type: Wondrous Item Source: RC 239 This 3” stick is made of a silvery metal. On command, it will keep track of the time, chiming every hour on the hour. The chime can be heard by all within 60’, regardless of intervening obstacles. While functioning, the chime dampens the effect of any silence spells in its radius, though it can only be heard by those within 30’ during this time. A second command causes a gold color to spread from one end of the chime to the other, fully changing the color of the chime within the span of an hour. A third command will cause the chime to stop ringing or changing color. Faint abjuration; CL 3rd; Craft Wondrous Item, joyful noise (CAdv 154); Price, 1,500 gp; Weight 1 lb. Chime of Time Price: 1,500 gp Body Slot: -- (held) Caster Level: 3rd Aura: Faint (DC ?) abjuration Activation: Standard (command) Weight: 1 lb Simply drawing your fingers in the air near this finely crafted bow causes it to be strung with an arrow of glimmering energy.

gawain_viii 11-13-06, 12:12 PM	I would love to see someone take on the Demihuman Relics and their associated magic items... Working on that... I've got Vern (VGeisz) assigned to that portion of the M-d20 conversion... I'll call him tonight and see if he can't pause what he is doing for bit to get that done. One of us will post when we get it finalized. Roger
Cthulhudrew 11-14-06, 06:51 AM	Egg of Wonder Type: Potion (alternate medium) Source: RC 239 An egg of wonder is a magical liquid contained within an eggshell. It is similar to a potion or oil in that it can be used only once, and can contain a spell of up to 3rd level that has a casting time of less than 1 minute. Eggs of wonder can contain only spells that have an effect, rather than spells that target one or more creatures (like potions or oils). Generally, eggs of wonder duplicate conjuration/summoning types of spells. In all other respects, eggs of wonder function just as normal potions and oils. Creation of an egg of wonder requires the Brew Potion feat, as well as the appropriate spell to be placed within the egg. Physical Description: An egg of wonder is the size and shape of a chicken’s egg, though they come in a variety of colors. Identifying Eggs of Wonder: Unlike potions or oils, the properties of an egg of wonder cannot be sampled without cracking the egg (and thus activating the spell). Eggs of wonder that carry similar spells tend to look alike, however, so experimentation can lead PCs to be able to discern the properties of a particular egg based on past experience. Activation: Eggs of wonder are activated by cracking open the egg, either by smashing it in one’s hand, dropping it on the ground, or throwing it at another object. An egg of wonder can be thrown up to 60’ with no range penalties. Cracking an egg of wonder is a standard action that provokes attacks of opportunity. Random Generation: To generate eggs of wonder randomly, roll on the list below. If an egg of wonder contains a summoning spell (such as summon nature’s ally), randomly determine the type of creature summoned from the lists in the appropriate section of the PHB when the egg is activated. Minor Medium Major Egg of wonder Market Price 01 – 10 – – Acid splash 25 gp 11 – 15 – – Create water 25 gp 16 – 25 – – Grease 50 gp 26 – 35 01 – 10 – Mount 50 gp 36 – 45 11 – 20 – Obscuring mist 50 gp 46 – 65 21 – 35 – Summon nature’s ally I 50 gp 66 – 75 36 – 45 01 – 15 Fog cloud 300 gp 76 – 85 46 – 55 16 – 20 Glitterdust 300 gp 86 – 90 56 – 65 21 – 35 Summon nature’s ally II 300 gp 91 – 95 66 – 75 36 – 45 Summon swarm 300 gp 96 – 00 76 – 85 46 – 55 Web 300 gp – 86 – 90 56 – 60 Create food and water 750 gp – 91 – 00 61 – 70 Phantom steed 750 gp – – 71 – 85 Stinking cloud 750 gp – – 86 – 00 Summon nature’s ally III 750 gp
Cthulhudrew 11-14-06, 06:58 AM	I went back and forth on the Eggs of Wonder, but ultimately decided to go the route I did for a couple of reasons. 1) The bag of tricks already exists, and basically fulfills the function of the old eggs of wonder from OD&D (ie, summoning creatures randomly). Plus, they are permanent items, while the Egg of Wonder is a one-shot. Any redesign of the egg of wonder had to take those things into account, and make up for the single-use in its cost. 2) Since they are single-use items, I thought it might be better to make them an alternate form of potion since, since they seemed to fit that category better than wondrous items, and I figured the potion category could stand to be fleshed out a bit more (I am planning on doing a writeup for perfumes soon- alternate medium potions that are personal target only items). Thus, I decided on the take I presented above, where we now have some strange eggs of wonder- you get a smoke egg, acid egg, and- I know perhaps strangely, eggs that can create food and water? (I thought those might be useful, but they could also have humorous effects- pie in the face anyone?) I may still tweak the random table a bit, and see if there aren't other spells I could flesh it out with, but I think I'm mostly happy with it. (I did consider going with a wondrous item that was similar to a rod of wonder- ie, completely random effects pop out of each egg, but again, ultimately went this route). What do the rest of you think?
Cthulhudrew 11-14-06, 06:59 AM	Lamp, Hurricane Type: Wondrous Item, Cursed Source: RC 240 This item appears to be a lamp of long burning, but is always closed when found. When its shutters are opened, violent gusts of wind and rain emerge from the lamp. All creatures within a 30’ radius must make a Fortitude save (DC 17) or suffer the effects of a windstorm based on their size (DMG, p. 95). The hurricane lasts for 3 rounds, after which time it functions as a lamp of long burning for the next 24 hours. It resets its hurricane effect after this time, and the effects must be endured again before it can be used as a lamp of long burning. Moderate Evocation; CL 9th; Craft Wondrous Item, control winds, light; Price 8,000 gp; Weight 2 lb.
Cthulhudrew 11-14-06, 07:00 AM	Lamp of Long Burning Type: Wondrous Item Source: RC 240 This item appears to be a standard hooded lantern (PHB, p. 126). When filled with oil and lighted, it will burn continuously without need of further oil. If the flame is ever doused with water, the lamp becomes non-magical. Faint evocation; CL 1st; Craft Wondrous Item, light; price 800 gp; Weight 2 lb.
Cthulhudrew 11-14-06, 07:02 AM	Probably going to tweak this one still, as I'm not completely happy with it. Wasn't even sure if it was worth doing, actually. For one thing, it's basically cheaper for a PC to cast continual flame on the inside of a hooded lantern, and it doesn't have the downside of becoming non-magical when doused with water. (Which is the reason I went with light rather than continual flame as a prerequisite- since it can be doused and relit, and the potential for being put out permanently, it seemed kind of lame to use the higher level spell for it.) Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?
Traianus Decius Aureus 11-14-06, 09:24 AM	First off, this is a great thread idea, and your first entries are top notch. Are you planning on doing items from alll of the OD&D material? I really like the Eggs of Wonder as you have done them. Personally I would not have any direct damage causing effects like acid splash since you can already get alchemical grenade-like items. As for the Lamp of Long Burning, I like how you have done it. Your version makes it useful and accessible for low-level adventurers, and if it gets ruined, the cost to replace it is minimal. Too much magic seems to be geared to higher levels- this is cheap and effective, something many low-levelers will appreciate.
Cthulhudrew 11-15-06, 03:18 PM	First off, this is a great thread idea, and your first entries are top notch. Are you planning on doing items from alll of the OD&D material? I'm going to work my way through the Cyclopedia first and then see. I was just perusing the Book of Marvelous Magic the other night, and I'm not sure if I'm going to do many (or any) of those items, as they are mostly a bit too silly, I think- in name, but also in function. There are some good ones, and even a couple of them that already have analogues in 3E, so I may change my mind. I really like the Eggs of Wonder as you have done them. Personally I would not have any direct damage causing effects like acid splash since you can already get alchemical grenade-like items. That's true. That might also make for a decent modification- effect or area spells, but no direct damage. I'll come back and revisit them a little later this week probably.

Too much magic seems to be geared to higher levels- this is cheap and effective, something many low-levelers will appreciate. Yeah- I'm still not sure if the cost may be too high, even for that (again, given the continual flame spell) although that was technically always an issue, so I may lower it slightly, but I think it otherwise works a bit.
