Items

Birchblossom Arrows were originally a gift to my party's ranger from Lady Wachter after the party helped her "liberate" the town from Baron Vargas. They're evil projectiles designed by the dark druids of Yester Hill. They're meant to be given sparingly as they are designed with a lose-lose saving throw and a single one can easily turn a battle around. My ranger received only three and will probably not find anymore for the rest of the game.[1]

The Cudgel of Father Oswald was placed in the Abbey of St. Markovia as a gift to the cleric of our party since he had taken to a frontline position and seemed to be more interested in hitting things than his build would allow. It's tied heavily into the lore of the Abbey and has made for some very interesting character choices on his part. It's also unique among the weapons I've designed so far as it isn't based on any existing mundane weapon.[2]

The Fang of the Dragonlord was designed to replace Vladmir Horngaard's +2 Greatsword because basic +X weapons are boring and my party's paladin was built around polearm master. It's far more thematic for paladins and I felt it better suited a relic of Argynvostholt.[3]

Shadebane, Bow of Argynvost is the weapon I made for my ranger to eventually find but he's since unknowingly talked the party out of visiting every reasonable location for such a weapon to be found. The special attacks this bow offers is designed to emulate the abilities of a silver dragon and I'd suggest placing it either in Ravenloft, on the fields north of Berez, or offering it as a reward from Argynvost's spirit for returning the light to Argynvostholt. [4]

Wachter's Eye Ring is an item several of my characters have received for joining in Baroness Wachter's "book club", although only one of the characters has been involved in the rituals done in the basement most of them have begun trading favours with her. In my game the cult has developed into something much more powerful than the vanilla module, serving as a secondary concern only a step or two below Strahd himself and has been canonized to be serving Glasya.[5]

Feralys Amuntor and the Scepter of Fallen Stars are items my party took special interest in when they discovered the treasure vault of the Amber Temple and seeing as both my Warlock and Rogue were still in need of a fun toy I thought these to be a great opportunity to do a writing prompt. The blade is based around a terrible story of a princess forced into marriage and the rod is designed to be specifically weird to help hint to the multi-setting nature of CoS.[6]

Equipment and Gear

Wands

Choosing a Wand

As it is well known, the wand chooses the wizard. Every wand is different, most notably in three aspects: Wood, Core, and Length. Each of these aspects will give a wand distinct characteristics, and as a result of choosing your player character will give your character certain traits. You may only receive the benefits of one wand at a time, and you only receive the benefits of a wand that has chosen you (in game, this just means that you must fulfill the prerequisites).

Of course, we do not all have Ollivander present with us to help us find a perfect fit, but we have something else. You are sculpting your character, so your choice in wand should reflect the type of person that your character is. For example, a dark wizard would be quite unlikely to wield a wand of Pear wood with a Unicorn hair, as both of these aspects would conflict with an evil nature. A player’s first wand is free by default, but further wands may be purchased if she so desires. The typical price for a wand is 7 galleons.

In short, a wand should be chosen to reflect your character’s personality. The following tables are included to show the different types of woods, cores, lengths, and the results that they will have on your character, as well as the requirement to be “chosen” by that wand. Thematic information about wand woods can be found here.

Generic Equipment and Gear

Note: Items listed below may typically only be purchased with the type of currency for which they have a listed price (wizarding or Muggle). Muggle goods have USD and GBP prices listed, but campaigns taking place in countries where these currencies are not used may, of course, use the appropriate local Muggle currency. For convenience, wizarding goods and services are highlighted blue and Muggle goods and services are highlighted red. Goods and services that can be found in both worlds are highlighted purple. Note that since characters start only with wizarding currency, their starting gear may not include Muggle-only gear.

Watch	1G/£21/$25	-	As long as the watch is kept undamaged it can provide the exact time.
