Magic Items
Aegis
This simple-looking charm bracelet, when it is tapped and the command-word is spoken aloud while it is being worn, transforms itself into a heavy steel shield with a +2 AC bonus, which bears the likeness of the gorgon Medusa in its center. Once per encounter, the wielder of the aegis may cast fear with a caster level equal to the wielder’s total HD.
Anaklusmos (“Riptide”)
A ballpoint pen which, when uncapped, transforms into a +3 bane short sword made of Celestial Bronze. If lost or dropped, it always returns to the owner’s pocket in pen-form at the start of their next turn, capped and ready for use. If the cap is placed on the sword’s pommel, it turns back into a pen and can be used to write normally (albeit in faintly-glowing bronze ink).
Backbiter
This double-edged longsword has one edge of tempered steel, and the other is composed of Celestial Bronze. As a result of this dual-construction it can wound and kill mortals, demigods, monsters, and immortals alike, making it extremely dangerous.
Baseball Cap of Invisibility
A blue baseball cap emblazoned with the monogram of the New York Yankees which, when worn, makes the wearer and anything they're wearing or holding invisible until the cap is removed. Although it was a gift from Athena to her daughter Annabeth Chase, this one-size-fits all hat can be worn and used by any human (but it is unknown whether it will grow or shrink to fit creatures larger or smaller than Medium).
Bottomless Quiver
Contains an unlimited supply of arrows, in several varieties: normal, fire, ice, poison, acid, noisemaker, boxing glove, net-launching, and many more. Although the quiver's supply of arrows is infinite, each arrow can only benefit from one special quality and/or inflict a single type of damage.
Chains of Spartan Ares
As everyone knows, Ares, the god of war, was the chief god of the warlike Spartans, who so loved their bloody deity that they chained his idol to the walls of their chief temple, so that he could never be taken from them. Over time, these chains absorbed the war god’s essence and powers. When wrapped around the chest and torso, the chains function as a chainmail shirt which can switch between light, medium, and heavy armor as a standard action, trading AC bonuses for mobility as needed.
Golden Fleece
This fleece of the flying golden ram Chrysomallus possesses potent healing magic, strong enough to cure almost any wound or poison. Its magical aura is large enough to enrich an entire island and be sensed from many miles away, and as a result is often confused by unwary satyrs for the presence of the nature god Pan. Currently hanging from Thalia's Pine on the border of Camp Half-Blood.
IVLIVS
A golden coin bearing an axe on one side and an image of a man’s face in profile on the other. When flipped, it turns into either a lance or a double-edged short sword of Imperial Gold, depending on which side the coin lands on.
Little Thunder (Mikrí vrontón/Mικρή βροντών)
This three-pound blacksmith’s hammer is made from a shard of the very hammer which Hephaestus used to forge the Master Bolt of Zeus. It has power over thunder and lightning.
Ruxpin the Robo-Bear
This hulking bear-automaton has two modes activated with the press of a button. Its primary mode takes the form of a massive bear; its secondary form collapses into a small robotic dog.
Ruxpin was crafted by Tofur Martell using plans given to him by his father, the god Hephaestus, and an energy source found in the Junkyard of the Gods. Crafted largely from celestial bronze, the automaton is a powerful force in combat, and with its great strength it is capable of carrying multiple riders simultaneously.
Ruxpin is 12 feet long and weighs over 8,000 pounds in bear form. In dog form he is 12 inches long and weighs 5 pounds.
Seven-Hide Cestii
The Seven-Hide Cestii are +2 gauntlets that can use your unarmed strike base damage in place of their own. In addition, as a swift action the wearer can designate a single target they can see: the wearer takes a penalty to attack rolls, damage rolls, and AC against all other targets (up to a maximum of their base attack bonus) for an equivalent bonus to attack rolls, damage rolls, and AC against the designated target.
The Seven-Hide Cestii are heavy, powerful gauntlets of thick hide, dyed dark with dried blood and spattered brain. Plates of iron are sandwiched between the layers of hide, making them heavier and more lethal. The name comes from the fact that they are made from only the thickest parts of hide from seven cows. Thick straps of leather bind the forearm all the way up to the elbow, protecting the knuckles and back of the arm, but leaving the fingers free to grapple.
They were originally created by King Eryx of Sicily in his youth. For many years he fought with them, but they only took on supernatural power once they were wielded in combat against Heracles himself. His divine blood spilled on the cestii, they began to be changed by the thoughts and intentions of their users until they took on the traits they currently have.
Staff of Asclepius
This was the staff of the great demigod, healer and (after his death) god, Aesculapius. It possesses the ability to amplify the natural powers of any demigod who holds it to spectacular levels.
War Wagon
Originally a dilapidated old truck borrowed from an equally-dilapidated old man, the War Wagon is Tofur’s vehicle of choice. While not much to look at, when Tofur decided to use the old truck as a launching point for the first Flying Bear Attack, he realized that he and his friends needed a permanent means of transportation. He spent the end of his summer repairing the entire fleet of tractors at the Tractor Yard in order to work off the cost of the truck. Once it was his he began the retrofit.
Reinforced with celestial bronze armor and fitted with a towing arm that doubles as a catapult, the war wagon is ideal for any combat situation the cab seats three easily while the bed of the truck has additional seating for 4. The cab is outfitted with an AM/FM stereo as well as a CB radio designed to fluctuate frequency so as to confuse monsters. The catapult is self-resetting and can be operated by one of the rear passengers. A heavy-duty celestial bronze plow works equally well for removing snow or monsters from the road. Under the hood, a series of solar dots absorb energy from an enchantment that causes the underside of the hood to glow like the sun, thus ensuring that the War Wagon never needs to stop to be refueled.
While Ruxpin the Robo-Bear will always be Tofur’s pride and joy, the War Wagon comes in a close second.
Winged Sneakers
These enchanted high-tops increase the wearer's base land speed by 10 feet. In addition to this striding ability (considered an enhancement bonus), these sneakers allow the wearer to make great leaps; s/he gains a +5 competence bonus on Jump checks.
Xiphos (Ξίφος)
This short sword was given to Timarelle by Thomas. It is very light and has a broad leaf-shaped blade. The sword feels like an extension of its wielder’s arm.
