I'm in a scripting mood and enjoying trying to script cool, funny, dumb, items, so if you've any ideas post them here. Obviously nothing OP will be implemented andI probably won't be able to do 10% of what you suggest, but at least it'll give me ideas. Don't be scared to suggest stuff that would fit your current pc either. Suggest while the mood lasts!

How about a player tool that can be used to draw chalk outlines or marks on open rock?  It could be used to create placeables which read something like "An arrow points to the northeast" or something to that effect.  If clicked, a dialogue window comes up to ignore it or "wipe away the chalk" or "scratch out the mark".  This could be used by people for tricks and shenanigans, or to let people following behind where to go.

It should also state that it should not be used in "city" areas and should not be spammed.

Whittling/Wood-carving knife: No damage dagger that can be used on specific items- wooden blocks, or some slab of wood that can be purchased from the zurkhworker in the market hall, maybe. Using the knife on the wood will change it into one of many things at random- a religious idol, an animal, a figure, etc. The number of ranks in EFUSS woodcarving will affect how well-done the carving actually looks. If it's a shoddy job, the knife can be used one more time on the sculpture to try and refine it- if the check fails then you're left with an incomprehensible piece of wood that may still be 'art' to somebody.

Spiffy Has

Beetle Bounty System for Mouldercrest's. Infamous beetles spawn through the underdark, and heroes must capture them!

Ryan

To be found in Lowerdark quests -

Strange Aberrant Visor: This disturbingly organic helmet is squishy and pliable at one's touch. A sheet of tinted glass comprises the faceplate, and you can see hints of tantalizing illusory movement dancing about the other side... you would see it better if you wore the helmet.

Effects: upon wearing, make a DC 15 will save to immediately remove. Failure causes the PC to suffer from the spell Confusion. They will violently lash out at others and attempt to flee in the direction of Ysinode unless subdued or killed. Subdual allows for the removal of this enthrallment device. Wearing increases Constitution by +2 as well as a +5 to Discipline. Decreases Wisdom by -2, Will saves by -3.

Heart Of Oak

Svirfneblin "Party poppers" - one use item for events such as the games, weddings, electoral results etc. Use produces a noise or VFX, possibly an emote.

Fillable/throwable jars - jars that can be used on tiny spider eggs, hellwasp larva and rockworm eggs, which then become throwable and spawn "baby hellwasp swarm", "tiny spiders swarm" or " bunch of worms" (hostile to all). Place nests where appropriate/random and you must do battle with the brooding spider/'s or hive of wasps/queen, protective rock worms, before searching and finding the eggs/larva.

Worminger "Worm Charmer kit" Weird "charms" for attracting worms in the worm pits, sold in Starag's rest. Some work, some don't.... Worm charms.

(Not exactly an item..) Tiny markings - Ranger only interaction placeables. (non-ranger receive a "Nothing to see here" message) Placed here and there, zurkwood, shroomstalk etc, these tiny marking indicate to other rangers (when interacted with) that a particular danger is present here or that a certain something lives/grows here. Also a non-permanent storage area with only 2 slots, for say, food and a knife, medical herbs and antidote or perhaps leave a written note for the next ranger. When interacting you can change or add to the markings, via dialogue, to indicate a new danger/life form or your own presence.

Svirfneblin voice repeater - target player/creature has it's next words recorded by the device and then when used on "self only" Emotes "[Spoken in the voice of X] "dialogue".

Svirfneblin finger trap - ring with "self only" property which binds your fingers together, causing 100% spell failure and being unable to hold anything. Other property opens Dialogue with options (or does it randomly) to attempt to remove it via an Int, wis or dex save and "free yourself" or receive a "you are too stupid/clumsy to free yourself" type message, perhaps a str check too which gives a "this doesnt seem to be working" type message, unless you have above a certain strength score and then you are damaged 1d4 and receive a "you dislocate a finger" message and perhaps 5% spell failure/-dex score, for x rounds/turns/hours.

Wireless Sending Device:

Found in the machine, these wireless devices allow the holder to send one message via the Sanctuary sending system from anywhere they wish. Alas when used they break apart and cannot be reused.

PlayaCharacter

A rusted talking sword. An ornate decorative longsword with penalties to damage, but it talks. It's actually pretty friendly. It will keep you company on lonely nights. It's absolutely terrible in battle, but refuses to admit so, and gets sullen if you don't use it to fight. Mostly done through dialogue trees and battle cry scripts, with the option for a DM to take possession when needed.

xXCrystal_Rose

Chicken in a Can. Except when you open it up a LIVE chicken flops out! Cluck cluck cluck.

xXCrystal_Rose

A set of shark jaws that has a special power allowing you to summon your very own personal flying shark bodyguard! This shark has a Shield spell visual around it which is to be a bubble of water that it floats within.

xXCrystal_Rose

"Emergency Escape Pod"  -- A strange capsule without any markings. When opened a horde of illusionary clowns pop out and go on a rampage! Maybe there can be a random chance for other things in there too.
