Sword II: HAS a regulator but needs to be monitored because using it for too long may melt it. And needs to cool down before sheathing.
Hate it when my sword thermal throttles in the middle of combat.

Bag of holding, but everything that goes in comes out a crocheted plushie version.
I just thought of the most evil shit you could do with this.
They buy the bag and it comes preloaded with a couple lil crocheted trinkets that are cutesy and like grandma made it for adventurers. A lil mealkit, a ration pack, a lil sword and shield but also a doll. As they slowly start to realize what the bag does they remember the doll and start freaking out about what if it was a person who went in there to hide and got turned and we gotta fix 'em! Ends up being a whole quest line to unfuck the bag, the bag items and specifically this doll. At the very end they undo the doll and it turns into a wooden doll. Then when laughter/disappointment just getting to the right point, have the doll talk. Get the joke of it being a doll and they get the expectation they wanted of it being a living being they saved.

Sir Mix-a-Lot (unrelated) is a traveling potion salesman who shows up for my party at suspiciously specific times, and generally has discounted potions specifically tailored for whatever they happen to be doing at the time. For example, if they need to be really strong, he’ll have a bottle of Sir Flex-a-Lot’s Magical Muscle Maximizer, which does increase the strength of one’s muscles, but not of their bones or connective tissue (it was designed to be used only in bodybuilding competitions), so whenever the drinker does a STR check, they must also make a CON saving throw to avoid breaking a bone or tendon. Need to decipher an ancient text? Try Sir Scripts-a-Lot’s Polyglottal-in-a-bottle, which will let you read unknown languages, but also comprehend all unknown languages, even those of the plants and animals around you, making it very difficult to concentrate on any one thing.

I have to steal that for whenever I run a campaign again. Seems like an entertaining recurring character to also clue players in that something is going to happen

Bag of folding.
A bag of holding except anything stored in it comes out folded in half.
Given how murderous some parties get this could become a bit of a problem!

Wielded correctly, in the hands of someone self-sacrificial, it could rectify many of society’s wrongs.
I’m thinking more like, set up a carnival with axe throwing for the elites. Dont tell them the axe is cursed

Fucking love it. Could be an easy one shot for sure. Have fun with it!

Cube of instant castle: Say the keyword ‘open’ to transform this cube into a '200x’200 castle. The transformation happens instantly, and if you’re caught in the area of effect, be prepared to get smashed. The cube is hard of hearing.
‘the cube is hard of hearing’ oh that’s just evil lmao

Bag of Communal Holding
Content is shared with all other bags of communal holding in existence. Sometimes retrieving objects involves awkward hand contact if someone else is using their bag at the same time.
Even more hilarious if you could accidentally pull out someone else trying to retrieve objects from the bag. Would be kind of awkward getting them back to their origin though…

Oh. I thought it a was the other way I thought the point was that if the player whispers, the cube can’t hear. But I think what you are imagining is that the cube might hear “open” when something else was said

The merchant says: “thanks for purchasing that cube, if you need something else we are open all day every day”
The party is now dead

I thought it was that you can’t just shout from afar because it can’t hear you, so there’s not really any options other than to sacrifice someone every time you want to use it.

Magic sword of infinite sharpness.
Sheathing the sword, or holding it by the hilt, quillons, or pommel causes it to become incredibly heavy.

I was hoping it stays up in the air so you have to tie it like a ballon.

There’s so much role playing potential in the ability to create a giant mob of clowns at will by repeatedly opening and closing the bag. You almost don’t need anything else!
Spawn them as a distraction!
Use them to hide!
Plug any entry or hallway at will!
Build yourself a mountain of clowns to scale any wall!
Never starve again with their endless supply of pies! (Eaten fresh off your face.)
Use their weight to bring down any air-/ship!
Air drop them on your enemies! (Assuming they have a weight and are bound by gravity, they do damage - all you need is a bit of levitation, a tower, airship or a ceiling to hang from.)
Just crush your entire party by spawning hundreds of them in a closed room!
The possibilities are truly endless.
Sell the bag to a lich to keep him from robbing graves, collect big $$$ for the unique magic item, and the bounty from the town

So many options!

That would actually be pretty amazing for a beach holiday.

Lembas bread but it’s 1000 years past it’s due date and you will get diarrhoea equivalent to its food value.
