You know what would make GREAT D&D magic items?

Stuff from The Property of Hate, like…


Cane of Returning (Wondrous item, uncommon, requires attunement)

This sturdy two-and-a-half foot bamboo cane can be recalled to its owner from within 1 mile as a bonus action by performing its command gesture. The recalled cane has a speed of 80′ per round. If the cane is hooked to or blocked by something heavier than its owner, the owner will instead be recalled to the cane. If neither owner nor can can move towards one another, such as if separated by a barrier, then the recall ends and the owner takes 1d6 bludgeoning damage.


Technicolour Suit (wondrous item, uncommon, requires attunement)

This well-made and dapper complete set of clothes may have their pattern changed by the owner once per short rest. Doing so may grant the wearer advantage in certain situations, such as stealth (by matching the pattern to the surrounding area), and many forms of charisma check. While the pattern may be altered, the shape and stitching will remain the same when changing. The hat of the suit cannot be dislodged from the wearer except when deliberately removed, or if the wearer rolls under a natural 5 on any dexterity check.


Boots of the Hero (wondrous item, rare, requires attunement by a Good-aligned character)

These pale green boots have been well-loved by a goodhearted hero, and they love their owner in return. At the end of a long rest, if a character is attuned to and wearing the boots, they will awaken with exactly ten temporary HP. Additionally, the wearer has advantage on saving throws against being frightened, and may add their proficiency bonus to Animal Handling and Persuasion.


Fear Reaper (weapon (finesse), rare)

This cruel, curved black blade radiates terror from its gleaming white handle, and some say it was created from the skull of a creature made of pure malice. Three times per long rest, on a successful hit, it may be used to cast Cause Fear on the target.

These blades may be found in many forms, a clawlike dagger, a deadly scimitar, a galve or, traditionally, a scythe. 


Feel free to add more? Or edit existing. I have no idea how to balance things, I just like magic items…
