Eberron - Rising from the Last War

MABARAN RESONATOR

This dread device draws on the power of Mabar, in­

fusing the dead with the malign energy of the Endless

Night. While it is active, any humanoid that dies within

2 miles of the resonator reanimates 1 minute later as a

zombie (see the Monster Manual for its stat block) under

the control of the creature controlling the device.

MASTER'S CALL

While this looks like a scrap heap assembled from

shattered constructs, this eldritch machine possesses

great power. A creature in control of it can sense the

presence and location of all warforged within 10 miles

of the device and can, as an action, send a telepathic

message to them laced with enchantment magic. Such a

message can be sent no more than once every 24 hours.

A warforged who receives the message is compelled

to follow one command contained within it, unless the

warforged succeeds on a DC 12 Wisdom saving throw.

The affected warforged breaks free of the command

after 24 hours.

SPELL SINK

This device emanates an antimagic field (same effects as

the antimagic field spell) in a radius of 1 to 3 miles. The

field can be activated or deactivated as an action with a

touch by its controller.

The form that the device takes depends on the nature

of its creator. The Ashbound druids despise unnatural

magic, so a spell sink created by them might be a living

artifact, such as a twisted tree that consumes the magi­

cal energy around it. Conversely, a spell sink created by

a mad artificer might be a massive vessel composed of

dragonshards and exotic metals.

A variant device called the spell siphon not only neu­

tralizes magic but also absorbs all magical energy in the

area, storing that power for a cataclysmic effect.

STORM SPIRE

This eldritch machine can only be controlled by crea­

tures that bear the Mark of Storm. Storm spires allow

House Lyrandar to influence the weather, which can be

a boon for the local population or a curse if a Lyrandar

baron chooses to demand payment for ideal weather.

EVERYDAY MAGIC ITEMS

Thanks to dragonshards, common magic items-includ­

ing the ones in Xanathar's Guide to Everything-are

readily available in Khorvaire.

BUYING A COMMON MAGIC ITEM

In Eberron, common magic items can be found for sale
in most communities. The DM determines the stock that
is available, or the DM has the shoppers make a group
Intelligence (Investigation) check to find a shop or ped­
dler that has the desired item in stock. The DC for this
check is 10 in a city, 15 in a town, and 20 in a village. If
the check fails, at least 24 hours must pass before look­
ing for the same item in that community.
The DM sets the price of a common magic item or de­
termines it randomly: 2d4 x 10 gp, or half as much for a
consumable item such as a potion or scroll.

CREATING COMMON MAGIC ITEMS

Normally, a magic item in Eberron is created using the

crafting rules in the Dungeon Master's Guide or Xana­

thar's Guide to Everything. But if you have a dragon­

shard, you can more easily create a common magic item.

To create such an item with a dragonshard, a charac­

ter must have proficiency in the tools used to create a

nonmagical version of the item or proficiency in the Ar­

cana skill. For example, a potion of healing can be cre­

ated by a character who has proficiency with the herbal­

ism kit. A spellcaster can scribe a spell scroll of a spell

they know if they have proficiency in the Arcana skill,

and they must provide all material components required

for the spell. A cantrip scribed onto a scroll works as if

the caster were 1st level.

The Creating Common Magic Items table states how

much time and money you must spend to craft a com­

mon magic item with a dragonshard, which is expended

in the creation process. The hours of creation can be

spread over multiple days, which needn't be consecutive.

CREATING COMMON MAGIC ITEMS

Common Magic Item Time Cost

Spell scroll (cantrip) 8 hours 15 gp

Potion of healing 8 hours 25 gp

Any other common magic item 32 hours* 50 gp''

;,Halved for a consumable item like a potion or scroll

CRAFTING COMPLICATIONS

If the DM is using the crafting rules in Xanathar's Guide

to Everything for items that aren't common, the creation

process can involve complications. Assume there's a 10

percent chance of a complication arising for every five

workweeks (25 days) spent on crafting the item. Xana­

thar's Guide to Everything presents a number of possi­

ble complications, or you can use the Eberron Crafting

Complications table.

EBERRON CRAFTING COMPLICATIONS

d6 Complication

House Cannith or another dragon marked house takes

an interest in your work. Do they view you as a threat,

or are they impressed by your techniques?

2 A mishap creates a temporary manifest zone (see

"The Planes of Existence" in chapter 4 for information

on manifest zones).

3 You need to acquire an additional rare component to

complete your work. Time for adventure!

4 The shifting balance of the planes interferes with your

work; you must wait for the current planar alignment

to change. This delays your work by 2d6 days.

5 Your efforts draw the attention of the Au rum, the

Chamber, the Emerald Claw, or the Lords of Dust.

6 Your item becomes sentient (see chapter 7 of the

Dungeon Master's Guide for rules on sentient items).
